So this is technically a continuation of this thread viewtopic.php?f=35&t=47439
It became more of a WIP instead of suggestion thread, so I becided to make this, where I will post updates.
If you want to see the early stages of this then check out that thread.
So my tree farm is working well, and I got a big tree in the exact spot I wanted which is always a plus.
Also my large industrial building is about 90% done, then after that is finished i can move on to what I really wanted to do, the floating part of the city
This isnt the best picture but the interior is done, I also added a second mine cart track going to a large sand deposit that i found in the caves.
Also if you read the other thread I was talking about starting a boat
Here is the start
And here is the current version
Silly idea anyways...
So ill keep updating and i estimate that is project will be done in about 10 days, just getting resources is a pain in the ass.
So finished my dock and all other ground floor buildings and systems. I also am almost done on this boat, It has taken a ton of wood, around 1200 or so. also because the first version burnt down.
Then I finished building my underground railroad. well more underground. This was the orginal lava lake. but a ton of water turned it into about 10,000 obsidian
It connects to all major landmarks on the ground floor.
Most of my time is spent gathering resources, and my tree farm cant really keep up lately.
Also i cant play on anything other than peaceful right now =/
Due to the city acting as a mob spawner
about 6 creepers and three skeles outside my production building right now
Yeah this is everywhere.
ill start the floating islands tomorrow.
Would you mind giving us some background on this project?
Yeah sure, I figured i should do this sooner or later.
So i generated a new world, it was a little unusual, floating islands. random blocks in the sky, massive mountians and then flat areas. So i started playing like normal, then i was mining and discovered a massive chunk error, that basically took out a massive area of land underground. So i started expanding, i got it to 120 X120 X43. Then i decided to make a city. Now under the ground was a massive lava lake, so my original plan as a city on top of a lava lake. which i decided to scratch because of the fact that I would likely burn many parts of my city.
[] [] [] [] --- lol
I decided on a 2 tier city, one small tier on the ground, which is now almost complete. And the rest of the city Floating in the air on floating islands.
Some of my current ideas
Houses
-with gardens
-balconies
-pools
Windmill
Towers
Farm and garden
Large palace
Floating ships, instead of sails will have Zeppelin balloons
What ever else comes to mind.
Ill likely start a blueprint tomorrow so I can have it accurately planned.
So i started on outlines of floating islands today,
well here is the main one.
So that will be decent size. is got a diameter of 60 blocks so ill be able to fit a pretty looking palace on it.
'
Also getting grass up there sucks, but ive completed a few more outlines but i need a ton of dirt.
well I hit a milestone today. I got the basics of the floating islands done, they look pretty good.
they will look better when they are grassy. they are solid dirt, It took a few thousand to make them and i still need to make them look more natural.
Also now i have suicidal animals jumping into the ground.
Now i just need to plan the floating level
My god, this is absolutely gorgeous, not_a_creeper. Sincerely, my congratulations on your creativity and vision.
This is also a testimony to why modes like peaceful have to exist in the game. Things like this would not be possible otherwise. We would never see them. Ever. The argument could be made for Creative Mode, but my guess is that part of the fun you are having is gathering resources and managing your stash of these, am I right?
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
I was trying to think of a signature and this is what came up.

wow, thanks for that.
And yeah depends on my mood but I usually dont mind getting resources. If i plan on realsing the save you would probably see massive hole randomly in the ground above from me getting dirt and stuff. I currently have a broken leg and quite a few stitches so I cant really do much, so I have time for mindless gathering lately
I love getting chunk errors. I had a large mass of nothing but clay, sand, and gravel right in the middle of my map. I torch mined it all then had to climb to clear all the clay. Cleared more of it, now I have a 175x175 cleared from bedrock to the sky! Not entirely sure what I'm going to do with it, kind of fleshing it out as I go.
Now I have to go find 1000's of coal to convert all this sand to glass =/

yeah i know what you mean, I was originally going to make my floor glass, but once i did the math for 10,000 glass i decided I would forget that.
this is actually some of the best work i have actually seen i just have a suggestion for the top of the floating islands which are you should make a smaller version of it like above it to give it like the 2 floating islands deal and make like a mini village on the smaller one
well just tell me what you think of it
but good job as well i cant wait for the finished version to look at

By the way nice work.
ill release it when i finish. which may take a while, little bigger than i thought it would be.
yep, part of the reason why it is taking so long. And im on a mac so i couldnt even if i wanted to.

i seriously don't think i would be able to finish this if i didnt have all these freakin awesome comments
definately one of the best things ive seen so far!
also this is my first post after many days of creeping the forums (punny)
your creation made me make an account just to say how much i love it!
KEEP BUILDING
Hopefully this will end up as good as I imagine it in my head.
