Mike Tomlin Reveals Minecraft City Built Over 12 Years

Former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin showed viewers his long-running Minecraft city on Wednesday, offering a closer look at downtown buildings and rooftop properties in a video tour. Tomlin has said he has spent about 12 years building the virtual city in the game’s creative mode. The reveal followed an interview on September 8 in which Tomlin described the project and said he began playing Minecraft when his children were young. He said his oldest son had encouraged him to share the city publicly. Tomlin later announced that he would show the project, and footage of the tour appeared online Wednesday. The video included a walk through parts of the city, including high-rise buildings and rooftop spaces. In the tour, Tomlin discussed design choices and said he had paid attention to providing suitable amenities for the city’s virtual residents. The material shown gives viewers a look at the project, though the available reporting does not establish how much of the full city the tour covered. Tomlin’s Minecraft hobby drew reactions from fans and former Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell.
