The Shipyard, first structures of Cityscape
Posted by Admin on 20 July, 2011
These are the first couple of buildings in my world I called “Cityscape”. What I want to do is build a city- a huge mega city. This building in the center of the image is the very first structure which I dubbed the “Shipyard” because it’s right at the docks. You can see some later […]
Top down view of some mine cart tracks
Posted by Admin on 20 July, 2011
This is a birds-eye view of a piece of mine cart track. It ends on the right side where it enters some wooden structures. To the left it enters a tunnel in the mountain and passes through all the way to the other side where in similar wooden structures attached to the cliff-face. Unfortunately I […]
Tiny little fail in the terrain generator
Posted by Admin on 20 July, 2011
Can you spot where the terrain generator has made a tiny little mistake? It’s not very easy to find; it’s dark and it’s snowing. I’ll just tell you. In the middle of this image, right in the center, there is a lonely floating block of dirt. Sometimes the terrain generator has a little spaz or […]
Snow and Rain happening side by side
Posted by Admin on 20 July, 2011
In Minecraft you can be right on the edge between two biomes and in this case it started raining on one side and snowing on the other. Many times you can see the edge of rainstorms where a desert biome begins but I think this is just a little better than that. The nice thing […]
Hourglass Hill with Mine Cart Tracks Wrapped Around
Posted by Admin on 20 July, 2011
This mountain is a completely natural occurrence in the world I was playing. It’s shaped like an hourglass and if I had to name this geographic feature, it would be something with the word “hourglass” in it. The tracks come from the distance through a tunnel in the small hill and wraps around the hourglass […]
Mine cart sky bridge to distant mountains
Posted by Admin on 20 July, 2011
The mine cart sky bridge stretches over our heads to the mountains in the distance. If you look closely you can see those are the cliffs which have the wooden buildings on the side of them- it’s nearly out of render range. I like this shot because you can see wonderful terrain generation here. It […]
Distance view of the cliff-side houses
Posted by Admin on 20 July, 2011
This is a distance view of the wooden cliff-side houses with the mine cart sky bridge connecting to it from the right. Honestly, I think the mine cart tracks do kind of ruin this view, especially the way you see it taking that corner to dodge some trees. The wooden structures on the cliff face […]
Sky Bridge Mine Cart to Hourglass Mountain
Posted by Admin on 20 July, 2011
This sky bridge powered mine cart track connects on the left to the cliff-side structures. On the right you can see an hourglass shaped hill which, I promise you, was formed completely natural. The mine cart track wraps around this island to change to a lower elevation. Actually, since I started out at the far […]
Cool cliffs with wooden structures on it’s face
Posted by Admin on 20 July, 2011
This view of the cliff-side wooden structures lets you see the supporting parts underneath to make them look a little more realistic. From this angle you can also see the glass panels in the roof. I like doing this to get some daylight coming in and reduce some of the claustrophobia that you get from […]
Cliff-side housing in the daytime
Posted by Admin on 20 July, 2011
Here is a view of the first two structures of the cliff-side housing. From the clouds you can gauge the elevation of these buildings on the side of the cliff. The stone structure on the right is where mine carts end up- a kind of simple train station with a floating platform. Inside the left […]
