Capital City/Royal Castle Construction

In this post I will be updating the progress on the biggest project yet...



^^^^^^This is the mountain I built to house the city, consisting of over 3million dirt blocks.

^^^^^^This is the hollowed out inside of the mountain, length 178blocks, width 65 blocks, and height 103 blocks.

^^^^^^Another view of the room.

Whoa looks intimidating but why exactly will people be living under a rock when it's snowy sunshine out there? haha it's like in the matrix where everyone lives underground :/ Uhm the soft dark edges, do they represent shadows? cause i never knew there was shadow effects in Minecraft

The room is so big that the dark spots you see are the space between light from the torches. Its still very rough at this point, but trust me its gonna be awesome. Its going to be a huge, elaborate, decorated castle, and its kind of like the town of markaarth in skyrim, where its built into the mountain.

That mountain isn't on the server is it? or is it on Single Player?

Nope its on the server, and I couldn't find one big enough...so I built one.

Haha awesome looking forward to it

I love the idea bro, but not sure if it is worth being our capital city! (Assuming you mean that the Capital is the only one per universe (nether has it's own capital, etc.)

It would definitely be one of the major cities. I've always wanted to do this. If we get a music mod I'm definitely having the goron themetune!



By the way, as far as themed cities goes. If you look at some of the Minecraft skins, they have all sorts that can be used on NPCs if we get a mod. Which means, if for example you made the Goron city, you could get goron npcs to go in there to add more of an atmosphere =D Win? =D

Got an update!


^^^^^^^In this one you can see the 2 end towers on each side along with the placement grid I built. The towers are 40 blocks high and 20 blocks across, made of smooth stone.


^^^^^^^Heres a better view of the placement grid, the size of each box is 10X15. The grid is going to make building something of this size much easier.

But there's no sunlight! and my character has a hat LOL as he is Cole from La Noire x)

Don't forget to add your updates to the main post of the thread so they don't get lost! =D I'm definitely digging the organisation going into this. I like the towers, but what are they going to be for? =D

The Castle is coming along nicely! Heres an update.


^^^^^^^Heres an overhead view of a few of the finished towers including the main tower in the middle.


^^^^^^^Heres a different version of the last picture with the water added at bottom of the room. (BTW we were talking about an enderman disappearing)


^^^^^^^This pic shows the dock inside the welcome tower, this is the first place you go inside the castle.


^^^^^^^Here we have one (soon to be many) of the bridges connecting towers.


^^^^^^^This is the entrance for non-royalty citizens of the server, it leads all the way down to the bottom of the castle via waterway.

looks sick...If only i had a computer decent enough to play minecraft :L

But Arcann... it's minecraft, not Crysis haha

Arcann - If my 10 year old computer can run Minecraft...anything can.

my 5 yr old pc cant and was meant to be state of the art when i got it, bloody piece of shyte.

What's the problem exactly?

And cheers for clarifying our Enderman discussion, sounded like it could have been rather risqué

Don't blame it on your computer. Blame it on globalisation and the spread of technology diffusion

Johnny, I have a link with some driver updates for your graphics card that -should- help you play the game. I've read a few posts that pertain to your issue. I'll get the link to you when you're next online!

I get memory issues, mainly. My system just struggles with it and even though it is dirt cheap, I've just done nothing about it, since I really need to do a whole lot more as well to the computer.

Memory as in RAM?

Got a small update. I encased the whole inside of the mountain in a iZone, it will remove mob spawns, TNT, Explosions, it will also heal players inside the zone, so feel free to work in there if you want.

Good job Bowl!

Wise move for sure! =P iZone is a particularly good plugin for these things. I think you should add a turnstile in and keep the train system when it's complete by the way dude! Would be a nice idea =P

I'm still learning how to get the turnstiles to work, but ya its definitely an idea!
