The reason why Egypt and Saudi-Arabia halls have audio books in arabic is because of the arabic language being impossible to be written in Minecraft. The books in English won't be made into audiobooks, because there is no reason to. The arabic books have no other option.
@@jeffocks793 I think that ain't the reason. Saudi-Arabia and Egypt aren't countries with that low literacy levels I believe. It's definitely due to the writing system.
If the people who were killed or imprisoned long ago could see this...they'd weep. The fact that their efforts did not go unnoticed and the torch was carried is one of the greatest innovations of the 21st Century. Only wish it could've been preserved indefinitely

Librarian assistant here! This is THE COOLEST THING ever and I havent been able to stop talking about it to my friends and family since i heard about it
I have never in my life understood minecraft, but the fact that's I heard about this I'm thinking I might join. Why would they build something so massive and beautiful for one year only?

Hello. I'm Youngju Nam, a PD of SBS(Seoul Broadcast System) SUBUSUNEWS team which is located in south Korea. Our team is now making a story about freedom of speech and 'The Uncensored Library'. And we found your amazing high resolution video here. And we want to ask you about quoting this video with your channel's name on the credit for sure. It'll going to be a so much help if we can use your video. Can you reply me back here or mail youngju6107@gmail.com ? Thank you so much for your help. Will wait for your reply. Best regards, Youngju Nam.
Hi, Thank you for the interest in my video. Feel free to use anything you would like from this video. If you have any questions, just let me know. Kindly, Xielent
But like... this is something that Amnesty International would be super proud of probably - the map makers are human rights activists! Not all activists walk the streets or sign petitions - some 3D print stencils for others to use when creating protest banners. :)

I saw a post about this on instagram and its crazy how beautiful the map is but also the way important information is put there so younger people can actually go like "oh cool map i wanna see what it is " and then get information about the world, about how politics work in different countries etc for instance here in spain some people still support fascism and there's tension between people wanting more freedom and people saying that we have all the freedom now and that we should focus in other stuff, but in uruguay people can easily get killed while being mugged and people die getting high sniffing glue, so government made weed legal. Like there's a lot of shit people dont know about the world and this is a cool way of getting to know more.
The press index is how FREE the press is to present different perspectives in any given nation. The colour of the countries on the world map reflects that rank. Scandinavian countries are .. as usual.. on top. Norway (which happens to be my own country) ranks numer 1 in the world. The US, as far as I saw, ranked 40-something.
@@gedenawhy would it take years for just this one building and they had 29 builders? It's just stacking blocks, no? I can see see a map for Cyberpunk or Grand Theft Auto taking years since those are more realistic looking. Sorry I don't know how Minecraft building works.
This is what Freedom of Press is about. I just found out about this library today (01/31/22) and you best believe I'll be talking about this gold standard of information sharing to my co-workers. (They're all a bunch of "free thinkers")
True but this is way more appealing, and makes the whole thing just feel as grand and as big as it really is. I mean this is an increadible achievement, it would be way to understated if they just put everything in a folder.
This is an amazing idea and looks beautiful, I don't mean any disrespect but it doesn't appear to have many actual books more just empty space made to look pretty
thanks for the video, I've never played any video game, but I've been eager to see how this library looked. You've made a great tour and btw your voice is pleasant to listen to.
I have realised the more free the press freedom is in that country, the lower their flag is placed. For example, press freedom is very high in Norway so the Norwegian flag is on the lowest level
Possibly not the greatest, but certainly the most significant creation in all of Minecraft history. It's insane to me how much dedication the team had, they could've compiled all these relatively little amount of books into lecterns and put it in a small house, but *NO,* they went above and beyond to create a mesmerising, exquisite neoclassical building with phenomenal exterior and grandiose, gorgeous interior design. With each room being uniquely themed too, it's absolutely amazing! I applaud all the people in creation of this undoubted masterpiece.
To answer your question about what press freedom index is. The Index ranks countries and regions according to the level of freedom available to journalists. However it is not an indicator on the quality of journalism. Top 10 as of October 2021: 1.Norway 2.Finland 3.Sweden 4.Denmark 5.Costa Rica 6.Netherlands 7.Jamaica 8. New Zealand 9.Portugal 10.Switzerland
so all of this gigantic unimaginable work, for maybe 3 pages of text from a microsoft word doc? It's a cool concept, really amazing, but I would expect a LOT more books to be housed there considering all the shelves and ostentatious display-- there's so much more potential to transmit so much more information. From what I see in the video, it seems like there's only under 20 "books" which are probably in actuality the length of a news article online each. I'm just kinda blown away that all that aesthetic effort was done for such little actual information (which... is the point of it right?)
@@Xielent thanks for clarifying! I got a really different impression from this video, and it was probably just because it would be a long video if he did show more.
@@kaylaworley6109 Yeah I tried to make the view under 20 minutes so people wouldn't get bored. I might go back and see if I can make a video over everything if I gauge enough interest.
It's a shame that if Microsoft gets their way this library will most likely get censored after all. They even censored the word "Night", "West" and several other completely innocent words. The new"profanity filter" is a buggy mess, and will most likely get worse since it can also get you permanently banned for imaginary offences now. I can only imagine how it will affect servers like this one.
Imagine making a video about this world and not researching what the press freedom index is. But at least you talked 5 minutes about how massive the building is and that it can't fit into your render distance. That was the point the builders wanted to make
Its an ambitious idea, but this construction is simply too big. Its so much to load already as it is, that by the time it actually gets filled up with documents, loading may become a big issue.
I’m highly interested to see extremely long video of reading each book. Please make one. Subscribe for that and I’m waiting you! This video is amazing. Thank you.
Hate to be that person but all the flags that are hanging have been hung wrong. The Canton, which is the top left portion of the flag, needs to always be on the left. When you hang a flag vertically you have to hang it like it's mirrored, not by just rotating the flag 90 degrees. Apart from that, this is an awesome idea and hopefully it gets put to good use.
is it just me that feels like this is underwhelming, i thought there would be loads of chests of books filled with different censored stories from each country. it feels more like a build showcase than something that could actually be useful for people

Question for anyone:
In the giant map in the middle of the library? What do the different colors mean? Some countries are red, orange, black, etc.
I'm guessing they represent press freedom. Yellow is best then orange then red then black?
Where did you get The thumbnail image from?
