Awhile ago I found someone working on a project in which they planned to build a world that could be realistically inhabited. I've always wanted to try something similar, so here I go.
Civilization often starts from nothing. So, what I will be doing with this project is have every day (Well, every day I have time to work on this), will be 1 year. I will start a brand new world, and from there, start building. I will be using inventory hacks because I am doing this for the joy of building, not hours of gathering. The project will be as realistic as possible, so even if I don't gather the resources myself, I will set up a mine, logging camp, etc, in order to use certain resources.
Tell me what you think, any suggestions/comments/criticisms (as long as they constructive) are appreciated!
Well, first off, I don't have a good enough computer to host a server or enough time to manage it.
If someone wanted to use this idea on their server, they're welcome to, but I can't make one.
Secondly, I want this to be my project, so I can decide what is built, rather than having to monitor what everyone on a server builds to make sure it is appropriate to the theme.
Well, I see it as a group of colonists coming to a new land. I hope to have it eventually evolve into a city, but I'm not sure how long that will take. Depending on how long I continue, I would like to expand as far as possible, with multiple villages. It will begin with a mining/logging town that will provide for the civilization as it grows, and I'll see where I go from there.
Either way i thing your scale time is not going to help. Its going to take a ton of time say 7-8 minecraft days to make a good building that is nice inside and out. So it takes 7-8 years to make one building??????

Earth Day, not minecraft day. That would be insane.

If it gets on a server will it be legit or not?
If I ran the server, it would be legit. It is easier with multiple people, and more time would be spent on the server.
If you're going to stick to this, I'd really love to see your progress every now and then with videos, pictures, and posts. Good luck! *Page favourited*

There's only one way to find out. We must tie him up and throw him in the lake. If he lives, he is a whitch. If he dies, he is human. MY LOGIC BEATS YOURS.

I'll definitely be posting pictures, possibly videos. I made a tumblr for this, links in my top post. I may have Year 1 up later today (Or, at least today for me).

looks like a farming village so far
good work
when you make it the size of a real city what type of energy plant are you going to use
(please be nuclear)

It depends, considering that the civilization is still a few centuries from modern technology (I'd place them in the 18th or 19th century), a powerplant won't exist in the first city. Eventually, I may get to the point of building a powerplant, though it may be hydro-electric, or it would just be an ugly iron building built far away from the city.

would love to see you building the roofs in wood steps which are build
instead of rock, because rock as roof? I think its to much for a wood construction to hold onto.
Only a few of the house have rock, one of which is the blacksmith, which seems to fit better with a stone roof. Also, not all stone is incredibly heavy, and many wooden structures can be built (IRL, they can't be built in minecraft to a reasonable size) to support great amounts of weight.

awesome. will there be a castle and stuff?
I haven't decided on a political system yet, but some sort of castle will probably be built for either a king or for the ministry.
