    Civatas spes means nothing.
    Civitas spes could mean Hope City, but civitas isn't commonly used for city.
    Urbs spes means (large)Hope City, Urbs spei means (large)City of Hope.
    Civitatula spes means Hope Town and Civitatula spei means Town of Hope.

    So if you're building a large city of hope, I would call if Urbs Spei, not Civatas spes....


    Civatas spes sounds cooler. problem solved.

    hmmm ill defiantly remember that.
    im debating to make it in the hell world or on the surface, if it was the surface i would change some textures to help make it look better.
    I also want to do this completely legitament so im not sure about using hacking or anything like that.

    Just curious, have you considered anything for lighting? As in something like very minature floating islands with a burning hellblock or lava encased in glass, or lava/glass canals somehow among the floating islands? just random thought.

    That said, I wish the stuff I made in minecraft was even half as awesome as this project. This takes artistic skill that I do not have, very very well done.


    This is actually a big issue, the city would be pitch black if i did not light it.
    Ive got a few solutions that im using.
    torches are a basic thing, and lava makes the place look evil, which isnt what im going for.
    the new update lets me use those glowing block thingies which is nice.
    ive been using skylights alot, i make them directly above the water falls. so during night the ambiance of the place grows dim, but at day all the water falls light up and make it look more hopeful.
    im kinda limited but it still isnt looking like a cave which is nice.

    Well its been a while but ive had some stuff come up lately. but ive been working on it on and off for a while.
    Ive decided not to post anything until it is 100% done. it will have a story and be sort of an adventure.

    the amount of wood ive used in the current segment is insane, ive cut down my tree farm a good ten times and there arent any trees near by on the surface any more. ive probably used 4000 so far. its annoying
    edit:
    Ive also been thinking of how to travel from the islands, ive decided to use mine carts going through the roof and dropping down to the various islands.

    Really amazing and inspiring, makes me feel like building a 120 x 120 x 43 city is easy

    Which it isn't. I know.

    Keep up the great work, but would you mind telling me why "Civatas Spes" was chosen, and what it means?

    Civatas spes was chosen because it means city of hope. I plan on making this somewhat of a story when i release it, with the above ground world ravaged by famine and volacanos and more bad ****, and your village destroyed. and the city is the last hope for life.

    Nice, I like it.
    Would you like it if I did a video of it for my channel to showcase it for you?

    yeah that should be fine. ill think about that once its done, about 50% now

    Learn to math 116 hours is only 4.86 days not 11.6.

    116 hours in the week and a half he mentioned it rougly took works out at around 11hrs a day and if he did a decent stint over the weekend you could easily do this working only 2-3 hours a night plus a weekend.

    Now I propose we get back to appreciating the effort involved in this undertaking and drop the "zomg must be haxxor'd" talk.

    I was talking about the times if he used stone.

    Hacked, for reasons stated before. Unless you can give me in progress pics, starting dates, and dimensions, this is all just an obvious fraud.

    I kinda agree on this one. Me expanding my underground city to 120 x 120 x43 took for. freaking. ever. Like seriously hours of mining straight. And it was already somewhat pre made due to a chuck error.
    It can be done, but seriously it would take forever.
    mining out 700k blocks would take 420 000 seconds. which would be 7000 minutes. which is 116 hours of mining straight. thats literally days and days of mining. And thats with a diamond pickaxe. and since he didnt cheat it would take 2 048 diamonds, Which i dont think has ever been legitimately mined, ever. sorry but this is fake. unless this guy literally spends 24/7 on minecraft.


    he could have used rock pick axes, since wood is renewable, and he can he something people call patience he even said he made a dirt stair well to get the grass in there and he said he was willing to get a pic of it. who would make that if they could hack it (they could do it just to look more legit, but i doubt they would do that)
    im still unsure that this is legit, but give him the benefit of the doubt.

    thats still 11.6 days of straight mining, not considering the planning and such. Im not convinced sorry

    Wow this is really nice. I really like this! :smile.gif:

    btw thanks for the feature, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside.
    Also if anyone is wondering were I got the idea for this it was from a picture I drew about a month ago in class. Its not the best but It got me thinking, and once the vertical height is raised Ill try making this too.

    keep in mind its a classroom doodle so its not as High quality as my other stuff but it is the origin of this project. Now im off to gather the 3000 wood I estimate I need, along with 1000 wool =/
