 | Hello folks! This here is my first large scale minecraft build. I've always been fascinated by 19th Century Architecture across all sections of the society. And decided to build something based on cities like Breslau, Prague, Stettin, Krakow and Warsaw to some extent. Basically a former inland trading focused city slowly industrializing and modernising through the years. And I have decided to name the city "Margenstadt". It can be called either an Austro-Hungarian or a Prussian (Later Imperial German) and then post ww1, an either Czech or Polish city in modern day areas of Poland, Czechia, Slovenia or Moravia. Its supposed to have a population of roughly 250-280k (For now). So far I have planned 5 phases for the city. The first phase will be set in the 1840s showing it as a trade focused city. The second phase will be set in 1870 showing it as a slowly industrializing and getting its first railway (Through Create Mod and several railway heavy addons). Plus the city will be showing signs of expansion. And a larger riverine port. The third phase will be set in the mid 1890s show it as a proper industrial city with a robust railway and tram network. Along with expanding it a little bit more. The fourth phase will be set in about 1910, so before ww1 and it would mostly feature some new worker housing and some renovations to older buildings or replacements. The fifth and final phase would be set in the 1930s basically showing the city aging and larger than before. (Some of my friends have suggested me to make some bonus 1700s or 1950s-60s phases but I haven't considered that yet. And right now, even the 1840s phase is about 5% complete.) So yes, thats a ton of work. But luckily, mods like Effortless Building and Create Mod and its accessories and some decor mods have helped me a ton. Instead of simply making buildings and other infrastructure, I've also decided to give the city some environmental storytelling. (Especially through the burnt out medieval district which would be known to have caught fire in 1837.) However this map is so mod heavy I do fear it getting corrupted in versions other than 1.20.1. The best part is, I will eventually upload each phase of the build into Planet Minecraft for download whenever they are ready. Now about the area, I am building it on a custom map through world painter, and I have planned proper suburbs and villages, farms and other smaller towns surrounding Margenstadt. Well thats about it. So far I've build 2-3 blocks within a week. submitted by /u/Apprehensive_Owl6250 [link] [comments] |
