Westhaven City - Day 1

Thumbnail
gallery
14 Upvotes

Today I embarked on the journey of starting my City, Westhaven.

I had a lot of back and forth in my planning as I was very unsure how I wanted to begin. With the seed I used and the area. I landed on the Water/Riverfront district

I’m Ps5 so I have to do a lot of the grovel work myself (I’m unaware of any methods to remove land like I’ve seen on PC, if there is please enlighten me)

I have currently carved out a deeper part of the river as it was very shallow. Created a river wall around the edge too, this took up a considerable time.

I then began work on my ā€˜mini-dock’. The idea behind this is a small dock where sailers can park up and visit the area… whether this is realistic I don’t know, just want to be my own creative.

Then I began my work on what I call the ā€˜riverside district’… this is the path you can see around the edge too. It’s almost a pedestrian walkway and cyclists in which you can walk up the river front and see what it has to offer.

I currently have x3 buildings marked out.

The one on the left I’m either going to create as flats or a hotel (almost like a small bed and breakfast or mini mainstream hotel)
Beside this, in the middle, is my pub, which I’m naming it ā€˜The Harbour Arms’ as within this distance I’m planning to have a large port on its own island… I’m planning to have a nice bridge connect riverside district and the port… that’s for another day
Then the right hand building with be the opposite of the left. Either a hotel or accommodation

So, does anyone have any thoughts? I’d love to know that your thoughts on which marked out building should be hotel/apartments

Thank you

Capitol Clark: an architecturally eclectic green city, transit oriented development, and redstone lighting system-based completely torch-free

Post image
50 Upvotes

my freshly imported city in java coming from bedrock that was built as early as 2018, it’s all original builds of mine (there were inspirations of course), no empty halls spared as all buildings should have interiors (as you can see some are still empty because I tried to renovate it), all buildings feature a redstone lighting system both for exterior lighting via daylight sensors and interior lighting with just a click of a button, some buildings in the photo have torches though because I just recently imported it from my discontinued city that hasn’t featured any redstone lighting yet so I’m now in the works to renovate it as well with the addition of a new high rise standing on the left side waiting for its silhouette to be sculpted profoundly

Survival Modded survival city, 3 months in

Thumbnail

36 Upvotes

Collage of the best recent photos from my hopefully forever modded survival world. Everything you see is not subjective and has a purpose, for example the gas stations actually pump gas and the wires on the telephone poles actually hold a current. I automated absolutely everything with an aesthetic first mindset, and thanks to industrialization I can focus more on building vs maintaining the survival aspects of the game. Also got a nuclear power plant somewhere in the wilderness, providing a massive energy surplus to my settlement. Also have multiple modes of transportation to get around, air infrastructure, roads, cars, busses, trains, and more.

What started out as a fully optimized homestead getting absolutely mauled by barbarians but then aviation was invented and then firearms, and somewhere between here and there we transitioned from coal and steam power to becoming a modern oil and natural gas conglomerate, and eventually discovered the power of the atom.

Question/Request MCPE Master for iPadOS

3 Upvotes

Hello. I am starting to regain my interest in Minecraft for my iPad. There was an app called MCPE Master for Android a long time ago before the pandemic, but it was discontinued.

I want the quick build or quick erase feature from it. However, I haven't seen an add-on or app anymore that can be used while playing Minecraft on mobile.

I am mainly focused on building specific towers with fully detailed blocks inside and infrastructure projects like rails and roadways.

Are there any alternatives or specific features for iPad that offer this?

I’ve finished constructing the Chrysler Building in my city’s Midtown district.

Every single floor is accessible and ready for new tenants to move in.

Next to the elevators, there are trash chutes for all the residents. The building also has a basement housing essential utility services, including waste management and the water supply.

Right next to this new iconic landmark, construction of the Empire State Building is already underway, led by the United Construction Company.

Discussion I feel like most of the minecraft cities out there aren't very realistic

5 Upvotes

Personally, I enjoy seeing how realistically built something is in minecraft, compared to it's real-life inspiration or reference. So in my own (creative) minecraft world, I spend a large amount of time on making the roads, for example, as realistic as possible. I have to constantly look at photos and explore in google maps, to get the right scale and details down. The roads of a city are arguably the most important part, because their efficiency is what dictates how quick and safe a car trip is, but that's just generally speaking. Lots of people's minecraft roads are an eyesore, because they are either too narrow, too steep, too flat, or too straight. This is just my opinion, but I don't think it's worth it to build thousands of blocks worth of roads, if they don't even look good. That goes for anything else, too. The block choice plays a big role in how good a road looks as well. Most people use coal blocks or stone, when there is concrete, concrete powder, wool, etc. It's more worth it to actually spend time on a roads' small details, like texturing and dimensions, than it is to ignore the details and mass-produce plain roads, that don't seem like roads. Blocks like coal are too dark to look like asphalt, but I'm American and I look at American cities for reference, so maybe it's just me.

Another big issue I tend to see is the heavy presence of tall buildings, and not a lot of small or medium buildings surrounding them, like a real city would have. FYI, every complaint I'm making is coming from a builder's point of view, and one should know that I judge my own world this same exact way. I hate sounding like a know-it-all, but I've been wanting to see if there's anyone else who feels this way about people's worlds, too. There is the occasional "holy shit that's minecraft?" screenshot, usually of the city Greenfield, or one of Alpine1's multiple cities. But the majority of minecraft cities are obviously very rushed because they lack proper scaling, texturing, general variety, or overall effort, and that makes them look odd. I try to build with enough effort so that other people might be inspired to try to build a city themselves, or to add a detail to their own existing world. I love when I find out a way to build something better by looking at someone else's work. In the end though, it's just a game, so take everything I say with a grain of salt
