CodestianBuilds shared in the comments section of his video that he intends to make "every single building in the Punggol planning area" in accordance to the Urban Redevelopment Authority's Master Plan.He told AsiaOne that he has been working on recreating Punggol since May, adding that it's easier to build and that the estate is also the site of his university's new campus.
He's also doing this to let people view their neighbourhoods and schools, as well as to create a 3D model that "can potentially be used outside of the game for a wide variety of use cases".

"By building HDBs, MRT stations, malls and schools in Minecraft, I can understand the reasoning behind such designs and to a certain extent the history of the buildings, such as Matilda House and Punggol LRT station."
