Are these kind of projects actually build manually inside of minecraft block by block or is there some verilog/vhdl to minecraft-level compiler toolchains used?

They did not manually place hundreds of millions of blocks <:
It’s been awhile since I’ve played Minecraft, but when I built large redstone projects before, I built out each circuit manually and then used mods to copy/paste it within the game.
And nowadays you can use Axiom, which is a much better experience than WorldEdit (WE still has its uses though!)

There are libraries for e.g. Python to make Minecraft maps entirely programmatically, as well as convenient tools for editing maps by hand.
Hoping the answer is: we used ChatGPT to create the build :)
