About Litcraft

Scale models of literary worlds in Minecraft

Litcraft enables an entirely new way of reading that moves across and between the text and its visual/spatial representation. Potentially changing reluctant readers into lifelong readers.

Dive into our worlds

Litcraft literally brings the text to life in Minecraft. Now you can wander round Robinson Crusoe’s island imagining what it was like to be marooned there; have adventures on Treasure Island like Jim Hawkins; help Sherlock solve crimes and wander round the large build of Victorian London.

Building something together

We have worked with partners around the country to make larger and smaller bespoke builds for unique museums and archives. If this is something you might be interested in then get in touch with us. If we can help you create something unique we will.

Litcraft in your school

Litcraft is the most effective at re-engaging readers with texts when used in schools over half a term. Children read the book together or in class and then enter the Minecraft world to undertake focussed tasks that reinforce the narrative.  Used across six weeks the resource really builds empathy and engagement in a powerful way.

Funded projects and events

We work with libraries and schools to bring Litcraft to as many children as we can. So far we’ve worked with Leeds and Lancashite libraries to take Litcraft into 24 rural libraries around the North West. 

We took part in a major Late in the Library event at the British Library in October 2023 to test the Sherlock Holms build and we took Litcraft into 18 rural libraries around Cumberland and Westmorland over Easter and Summer 2025.
