[[File:New Earth regions.jpg|thumb|Dynmap view of the Minecraft world and current regions where building has been open(ed)]]

New Earth is a stream project started on 26th July 2020, where a 1:4000 scale map of the Earth is opened up in sections to the public to build, both on and off of stream.

The map is pre-made with the countries and borders (depicted with cobblestone blocks) laid out, and users are allowed to build down a little and up to around 40 blocks from sea level.

The builds can be viewed by joining the server (Instructions found [https://minecraft.rtgame.co.uk/ here]) and via the [https://minecraft.rtgame.co.uk/map/build/?worldname=earth&mapname=flat&zoom=0&x=644&y=64&z=168 Dynmap here]. Regions can be highlighted on the map by turning on the "WorldGuard" layers found on the left.

This is the first stream to be played on the 1.16.1 game version.

[[File:New Earth 30-07-2020.jpg|thumb|Dynmap view of the first two complete regions. 5pm 30th July 2020]]

The second public build that opened at the end of Stream 1 featured a lot of Central Europe, including locations such as Belgium, Italy, Switzerland and Austria to name a few.

This was later expanded one day later to include a lot of Eastern Europe.

This build region closed at 5pm 30th July 2020, in preparation for the next stream 2 hours later. {{clear}}

[[File:New Earth 30-07-2020-b.jpg|thumb|Dynmap view after the second stream. 11:30pm 30th July 2020]]
This second stream was on the 30th July 2020 at 7pm (BST) and lasted around 3 and a half hours. This opened up most of the Nordics: Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland. During the Stream RT visited and explored a lot of the Public Central Europe area built in between the streams before admiring what had been built during the stream itself.

==Public Build 2 - Northern Russia==

The second public build was opened after the stream on 30th July 2020, expanding to a northern section of Russia. It was later expanded to the East on the 5th August 2020, as the video released to include even more of Northern Russia. The zone was further expanded to the East once more on the 13th August. Once again this was finally expanded to the very East of Russia, going up to the edge of the world, on the 29th August 2020. This build zone finally closed on 13th September 2020 at 1pm, making this the largest and longest region at this time.

This region marked the debut of a greatly increased presence of build groups & much larger projects, armor stand builds, and [[New Earth Tunes|note block builds]], including jingles and full-length songs. The eastern zone of Russia also marked the introduction of full regional road systems across Public Builds; the road system in eastern Russia ranges across 3000 blocks. These concepts would continue in preceding builds.

==Public Build 3 - North-west Africa==

After an expected stream was cancelled, the plans to open a new region still went ahead. 
This area featured multiple countries including Morocco, Algeria, Western Sahara, Mali, Senegal, Canary Islands, to name just a few.
For the next stream on the 16th this region was temporarily closed and reopened once the stream had finished.

==Stream 3 - Northwest Asia & Viewing Northern Russia (Part 1)==

On 16th September RT set out to view what had been created in the Public Northern Russia area. Due to its sheer size and high amount of detail in builds, RT only managed to view around half of the region, even with the stream lasting 4 hours.

Throughout the stream, a new region was opened - Northwest Asia. This included Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, Some southern Russia, Georgia and Turkey.

Due to the region being less filled, this and the previous public area (North-west Africa) were both left open for players to build on and was closed on 22 October, just over a month later.

==Stream 4 - Mainland America==

On 22nd October 2020 a region was opened up that covered (most) of Mainland America - Or Contiguous United States - where RT streamed and toured the area while people built for just under 4 hours.

This was the first build region in New Earth to follow a new "hybrid" model for build zones: initially starting as a stream build while remaining open for building after the end of the stream. The region was closed on 3rd November 2020.

On this day a fast travel hub was also created, allowing players to go to the spawn platform portal and then jump to any previous regions on the map.

==Public Build 4 - Northern Africa==

After the previous stream, on 22nd October 2020, this new region opened up, featuring countries including Libya, Chad, Cameroon and Central Africa Republic. This stayed open for an extended time for off-stream building.

==Stream 5 - Viewing Northern Russia (Part 2)==

On 27th October 2020, RT planned to view the rest of Northern Russia that he didn't complete in his previous viewing, viewing the last half of builds. The stream was over 4 hours in length where he also viewed the Northwest Asia region after travelling through Northern Russia.
During the stream, people were limited to building within the Northern Africa region to aid in server performance. This meant mainland America was put "on hold". After the stream the whole world was back open and people could build in either of the two open regions.

==Stream 6 - Canada==

On 1st November 2020 RT held a stream for (the majority of) Canada. The stream lasted three and a half hours where people built in the area while RT toured and looked around the build area.

This region also followed the "hybrid" model and remained open for building after the stream. It was closed on 4 December 2020.

==Stream 7 - Greenland==
[[File:Greenland domes before.jpg|thumb|Two of the domes before the stream]]
On 7th November 2020, RT streamed Greenland.
This had a new concept, where people were able to go into domes, and only build within that area. These were large spheres made out of white and black glass, within area Greenland, with a total of 4. Greenland previously was an ice spike biome, but within the spheres, these were removed and changed to have grass.

Two of the domes opened for the stream, the other two opened post-stream.

====The Void====
Part way through the stream, players started covering the walls of one of the domes with black concrete, removing all natural light source. This was controversial as it broke how people had lit up their builds. A decision was made that it was to be removed from the original dome, but would be allowed on one of the post-stream domes.

Two hours after opening, a team of players worked together and completed covering the whole inside of "dome 2" in black concrete. Nicknamed "The Void Dome", builds within it are themed more for outer space or the general darkness.
