Minecraft players come up with some pretty creative creations, but this one in particular makes us wish we could live inside Minecraft, even just for a week or two.

Redditor FamilyCraft shared their own Minecraft rendition of a tropical resort, a stunning plot of land complete with palm trees, pools, and architecture reminiscent of Dubai.

Take a look at the tantalizing Minecraft resort posted on Imgur:

Don't you just want to slip on your sandals and book your plane ticket right now? There's even a helipad there.

Of course, its beauty partially comes from the add-on texture packs that brighten the colors and up-res the water and sky. Here's the same resort in vanilla Minecraft:

Still impressive, from a creative standpoint. FamilyCraft said they were inspired by the Aperion Hotel project in Dubai.

The entire project took about one week with work being done by three or four active players and three or four more part-time players.
