Most here have a wrong understanding of what it means to code a structure. It would for some things be harder, but for others a lot easier and faster. If you build the outer wall of MT in creative, you have to place tousands of blocks by hand. In the code all that could be done in a few lines if the shape can be defined mathematically. It's the details, the hundreds of individual houses, that make most of the work.

But the biggest problems are probably in the huge size of the structure and chunk loading issues.
