Children to design a new national park in Minecraft
Schoolchildren in Adelaide, Australia, have been invited to create an Australian national park using Minecraft which could be constructed in real life.
Students aged from nine to 12 have been asked to design their own characters in the blocky 3D world.
The results could then be used to improve existing national parks around Adelaide.

The government has set aside $10.4m Australian dollars (PS5.4m) for the changes.
It was eager to find a new way to involve young people in its processes.
"This competition is part an initiative to engage the community asking people all ages what facilities could encourage them to spend more time in the national park," reads the Natural Resources, Adelaide website which announced the winner.
"The State government has set aside $10.4m for park projects, so some of the ideas you and your class develop could be used."
It added that the only rule is that a design must be able to be implemented in the real world.
"The park features need to complement the natural environment and take into consideration the species of animals and plants that reside there."
Ideas could include trails for bushwalking, mountain biking or horse riding, barbecue and picnic areas - or something completely different." it suggested.
Redesigning the slums
There is a trend of creating ever more ambitious designs in Minecraft.
The Danish government has mapped the entire country in the game as part of an educational project.
In 2012, Mojang is the company that developed Minecraft joined forces with the UN to help them design city spaces in developing countries.
They recreated public spaces in the game, and then shared the game with local groups, where participants could redesign them.
The project has generated new ideas for green spaces in Kiberia the largest slum in Nairobi and the tool was also used to design a brand new waterfront in Les Cayes, Haiti's third largest city.
The Adelaide competition will close on June 12, and the winner will be announced one month later.
Winners will be awarded an official government-funded trip to Belair National Park.
