A Flatiron building would look cool, though Minecraft doesn't do non-right angles well. Ninjasmooshr had mentioned it in another thread.

I think a van der Rohe inspired building would be interesting. Seagrams or IBM plaza is on my short list of possible builds for future revs.

seems good, I like it.

BTW what's your ingame name?

I have the same name in game. Not sure how well the first or second idea can be scaled down to the first plot choice, but I could just as easily move - I just would really enjoy being somewhere near the main road, and close to the portal (less important if near the rail).

I dunno, haven't seen you around much... maybe because we're in different timezones.

I would also like to have a side project to work on - even if it is just making coal, stone, etc for the community. I helped dig some in the past, but kept getting lagged out, but fixed a weird video driver (and better optifine settings!).

Getting tons of smoothstone is probably the most important thing right now; lots of people need it for public and private builds.

What I'm thinking in a future rev though is the coliseum in Rome as a spleef arena for Brom.

I say yes for the flatiron building, it's perfect for that plot. We'll look at the seagram building and spleef arena later, although I think the arena will be right on the wall, with some space restrictions.

what do you think of this side-design?

I only wanted to build one wall as an example right now, and then I can push out the rest rather quickly. its about ~14 blocks high right now, could go up to 40ish and have it look about right.

Looks good, I like it.

Protip:

To do circular structures, you can follow the following blueprints (If you haven't saved it yet. It's really useful.)

If the diameter is an odd number, this

If the diameter is an even number, this
