So I'm on an ambitious process of creating my own circa-1998, mid-sized city. So far, I've mapped out some city blocks and created the basic facades of several generic buildings.

My plan for this city, among other things I haven't thought of yet, is:

• to have a significant streetcar system and a basic subway network
• to have an expansive sewer system
• to have at least 5 districts - Uptown, Downtown, two expansive suburbs, and a university district
• to have a river or two running through the city
• to have a few landmarks to distinguish this city from others
• to have a forest surrounding the whole thing when its done

I'm running on vanilla Minecraft 1.8 and using the Modern HD texture pack. I'd appreciate your inputs/suggestions on how I can make this better. I'm not aiming for a skyscraper city, though I might add a few taller buildings around 15 floors for the downtown area.

Because of coding issues on this forum (mostly because I'm a dumb ass and IDK why my coding always ends up wrong), I'm moving all updates and pics to an external site, you can visit my progress blog by clicking on the link below.

Hey Ik you have already made progress on this map but I was wondering if you'd like to build on my city map? If not thats ok but I really hope you decide to join me with this project. Cheers!

Nice! I like the fact you aren't building huge skyscrapers. In reality, they look cool but really aren't realistic for Minecraft. So far it looks great though, very 1998-ish haha.

Wow, it's looking amazing dude. I'd love to be able to look around the map for myself that's how great it looks.

Wow looks awesome! I thought about making that look and with all the features of your city awhile ago, weird... well it kinda looks like some smaller parts of NYC. Please put a download up soon, and if you need any help just let me know!

ps. Where did you get the banner made?

UPDATE!

I added a new building and filled in another city block. You can view the pics in the first post (spoilered)

OfficialBearMC:
Sure, I'll try to help out if I can.

Muckdogred :
I tried to build a modern-ish skyscraper city like the one in Mirror's Edge, but then I lost interest and ditched the project. This seems a bit more manageable.

AussieTiger:
I'm looking forward to having it downloadable once its finished.

MineLabsMC:
Thanks! I made the banner myself with Ms Powerpoint. Apparently, it's not only good for slideshows.

Yeah, all the "buildings" are just shells for now. I'll be adding the floors, roofs, and interiors later on.

Thanks for the reply so soon! I wish you all the luck on this one!

Nice website! I may steal your idea (the blog) if you don't mind

I do, but I don't think my current schedule permits me to handle two projects. I'll let you know when it frees up a bit. :3

I think OfficialbearMC means he'll make his own blog.

Yeah. I realized @ZephStone you were quite busy with your own project and decided to start on my own. Good luck on your city! Hope it comes out well

Ah, I saw the comment before it was edited. Anyway, go ahead. I've also seen other MC blogs so the idea is free for all.

I think so, but since I used 1.8.1, you might find some blocks like andesite, granite or sea lanterns missing.

What resource pack are you using?
Edit: Nevermind, looked at first post
