How did they convert the 2D sprites to 3D blocks? Automatically or laboriously?

You have to mine them one by one.

Probably manual, given they have a specific list of supported buildings. But they're pretty simple so I can imagine it'd take an hour at most to build one them (in creative mode).

Hi, I did it manually, first some 2D drawings of where to put the blocks to correspond to the original game's pixels as close as possible, and then I built them using MCEdit, and finished the details in the game itself
