Greenfield is a fictional city created in the sandbox video game Minecraft. As of May 2022, the city is one-fourth complete and has a size of 20 million blocks.[2] The city was started by Minecraft user THEJESTR in August 2011.[3][4] As of April 2022, there are approximately 1.3 million downloads of the city map.[5] According to Planet Minecraft statistics, Greenfield is the third-most downloaded Minecraft map of all time.[6]

Greenfield is designed to resemble the West Coast of the United States, heavily inspired by Los Angeles,[2] and is built to a one-to-one scale, with each block's size being one cubic meter.[7] It has various features of an actual city, such as industrial areas, ports, public transportation, suburbs, a downtown area, and the most recent addition: an airport, added in the 0.5.4 release.[2][7] With thousands of builds, Greenfield is continuously being worked on with an increasing standard of build quality.[8] Almost every building has elaborate interiors, which are inspected for functionality each time a new build is published.[2][7] A group of 10 people supervise the city, and more than 400 people have helped build the city.[2]

As of the latest release, Greenfield has 39 districts.
