Christopher Slayton,18, spent more than two months painstakingly replicating the universe in Minecraft. He began by first re-creating Earth, using a globe as reference to “measure the exact location of every continent to perfectly replicate the planet.”

All subscriptions will be billed in Australian dollars and may not be available in all territories.

The XDM-100 is a dynamic cardioid microphone with USB-C connectivity, featuring a pop filter, shock mount, and three-meter headphone extension cable. The design includes a headphone output
