Changes include a massive amount of terraforming, new functional dams built, new functional clock tower, new buildings, improvements to existing buildings and surrounding areas.
Hello everyone, I have finally decided to release this world! It is far from complete but many people have asked for it to become available even in its current state.
I am dedicating this world the memory of my beloved Kristen who passed away last August. She loved exploring the world, seeing my creations, and tending to her small farm within it
As I continue work on the world I will try to upload newer versions if people wish.
This update might be a little early, but I believe it adds a fairly large amount of work, notably the town of Fawn (loosely based on the town of Fawn from Ultima7 Part2.
The town includes a many new buildings including housing, the Strange Brew Tavern, Gunther's Iron Works, market place, docks, and princess Bryanne's palace!
The palace is a massive building featuring a ball room, throne room, dining hall, ice skating rink, library, guest room, and more!
Images can be seen here showing its current state as well as many construction pictures. http://imgur.com/a/EFIq3#0
I still need to finish the foundations of this area, and work on some more basements, but it is otherwise mostly complete.
Many other small additions and changes have been made to the world.
-Fixed various roads / roofs.
-Finished the Colosseum ground floor remolding (still much to do on the other levels and I need to finish the bleachers still).
-Lever at the portcullis inside the city castles keep now operates pistons to release boiling water on unwanted visitors!
-Fixed some of the coastlines near the Colosseum.
-Spawn point should now be inside or near the Colosseum (let me know if it is not).
-Improved the look of the small hot air balloon to the East of the Colosseum.
Various Images and videos
Sorry I am horrible at making videos, but this one shows off many areas of the world.
This world was originally started on Survival multiplayer. Many of the structures throughout the world were built on survival, including the main castle, its wall, the lighthouse, underwater dome, and many of the surrounding buildings.
While still on survival mode a friend had built a massive 1:1 scale replica of the Colosseum. However it was never completed and still needed a huge amount of work after he quit playing. I decided to import Stugaces Colosseum which can be found here to replace it, as it was fully completed.
I have spent a large amount of time refinishing the bleachers, remodeling the interior and changing the blocks to match my texture pack. It is one of the many WIP, but it is one of two non original creations in the world
The second is a massive redstone item dispenser beneath my castle, I forget who made it, but if someone recognizes it and knows whose creation it was I would be happy to credit them here for it.
I have only recently started playing again, and much of that time has been spent updating structures from 1.0 to 1.5 with new bricks (still a WIP), but most are now up to date.
Because of the recent redstone changes I believe many of my redstone creations are no longer fully functional, notably my subway station. I designed and built the station back in 1.0 and it was fully functional at that time for SMP. It was a fully automated set of systems built to handle 12 incoming and 12 outgoing lines with a modular clear windowed tunnel system. I have no idea when I will get around to modernizing the systems in the station, but for the time being it is inoperable.
The majority of the world (especially around the city) is my own creations, but some of the houses, caves, and towers throughout the world were built by friends.
Old pictures of early construction
these are some old pictures of the world in its early stages, the Colossem here was the original that my friend had built.
Redstone creations and secret areas
The world is full of many redstone creations such as these
-egg hatcher
-working lighthouse
-working portcullis
-imported noteblock studio items
-automated subway station (currently broken)
-mock water pumps in the sewers (one of these is very detailed and can actually stop the flow of water in a town fountain, it has a bypass circuit if you do not want the piston running all of the time).
-Dry dock with operating sluice gates and drains.
Most things seem to still work, but some have become a bit buggy after 1.5, in time I will fix and modernize these.
Inside of the main castle there are a number of secret doors (5 that I can recall) All of them are accessible without cheats if you look hard enough
Legal things.
The only thing I request that you do not do with this world save is to create and distribute schematics publicly (private use is fine of course).
Otherwise feel free to use this world and modify it as you wish, though I ask that you leave the monument I built for Kristen intact.
You do not need to ask permission to use it as a server, making renders, videos, or even an adventure map.
If you do any of these things and make them publicly available please just give clear and noticeable credit with a link to this page Also post a link to it here if you don't mind, I would love to see what others can do with the world.
Textures and recommended mods.
I highly recommend that you use the custom textures at this link.
I also recommend having Minecraft Forge, and Darkmainiac's Fancy Glass installed. Without these, the stained glass I have used throughout the world will disappear. The texture pack I linked above has additional stained glass files which can be used to replace the textures in Fancy Glass.
Hey, awesome to see you got it up finally! (I was the one that requested it several weeks ago.) I have to say, its looking great and I can't wait to begin exploring once I arrive home. Thanks for the heads up and thanks again for the download.
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
^Click above to check out my Neighborhood Brawl series!^
I was just wondering where the link to the download is I saw this on imgur and immediately had to download it the only trouble is I'm too dumb to find the link
Edit: I found it. I guess I should probably look harder next time.
Yeah, I have been building on creative mode for a long time now, the time spent mining was just becoming impractical for the things I wanted to build. You can of course change that to whatever you prefer
As far as the lighting, with chocapic13's shaders that I use the cathedral and many other darker areas are very visible and well lit as you can see in my screen shots.
However If you are not using any shaders I would very much recommend turning the brightness setting ingame to a higher level. 50-75% should look pretty good.
In time I would like to create quest and goals for the world, but I have only recently started playing again and I still have many things I would like to work on. Many people requested that I make the map available just to explore. As I noted people are free to use it as a base for their own adventure map,or server. Just give credit to me and a link to this thread if you make it publicly available
Since I changed the world over to creative mode It is just a personal preference.
I was trying to make the world realistic in many ways, and having thousands of torches thrown around on every surface just did not look good to me (I destroyed countless numbers of them haha).
I have been using shader packs also, and this is how I currently see the world (just got a new version tonight) http://imgur.com/a/XMgJ4
Anyway, people are free to relight it to whatever their own preference is
It is becoming difficult to maintain all the pages I have for this map, so instead I am just going to redirect to this location for the time being.

If you use a shader mod I recommend Chocapic13s for this world. Others I have used do not seem to work well with the stained glass.

Edit: I found it. I guess I should probably look harder next time.
However, you DO spawn in creative mode with a whole bunch of building stuff.
Also, you should fix the lighting, especially in the cathedral. Mobs spawn really badly there.
This would be wonderful if there was a story or goal or town adventure to be able to play in.
Great architecture, but no real reason to play in it.
Edit:
It would be neat if you spawned in an empty house with some land. That way you can play survival within the town.

It will probably be some time before I have another update as I have a huge amount of adventure content I would like to add.
