Fully furnished modern Minecraft city!


Finished Skyscraper Count: 31

Finished Building Count: 42

This is a new minecraft city that I've been working on. My old minecraft town was getting a bit old and it was my first project so it showed when it came to roads and such. I decided to start from scratch and begin a new city on a flat map and get some good planning before I start. So far I have a few buildings in the downtown area and I am slowly making progress with the rest of the city as well. I'll post an update and new world save every week or so as I add new content to the map. Anyways, enjoy and please click a diamond if you like it. Thanks. :)


You can do whatever you like with the map but if you are putting it on a video or something, please just give me a bit of credit. Thanks

I am using the Soartex fanver texture pack so the world would look best using that. Download link here

Update #1: Been planning out the city some more this week and started a few new "zones". Added a older style residential area and the beginning of a river that will divide the city. Also finished a few buildings interiors and did some landscaping. 

Update #2: Nothing too much this week but just slowly building up the city. Added a few new buildings to the downtown and did more landscaping. I'm trying to get a little more creative though with different materials and styles of buildings. I tried to make the new apartment complex (Black/white/orange building) like that and I'm fairly happy with the results. 

Update #3: Lots of new things added to the world this week. The usually new buildings and also lots of small details to the city. Named streets, lights, trees, signs etc. Also started work on a metro system and railway linking the city together. Plus I made a small video of the city. :)

Update #4: New world save is out for this week. The biggest thing added is the city hall. It isn't exactly modern but it fits well into the city. The downtown area of the city is really getting big and soon I'll start working on the other side of the river, it'll probably have some tall buildings as well but mainly some modern houses and some fun things like an airport/amusement park.

Update #7: I've added in an airport however it is not completely finished yet. 80% of it is done however I will be working on the exterior and landscaping. The airport at the moment isn't connected to the main city with roads or anything but that will happen when I do the exterior. Its placed on the other side of the river, on the left side. I've put a large blue AP sign on the other side of the river showing where to fly for people who want to check it out. 

Update #8: New buildings added in the city, highway extended and roads finished. Main thing added is a series of mountains behind the city. Those mountains will act as a dividing line for the city, on the other side will be a big ocean later on.

Update #12: Week 12 update, a lot of new things added to the city this week. The new save has 5 new buildings. One still doesn't have an interior but the exterior is finished. I've started on a new section at the back of the city where there will be a row of very tall buildings. Basically I will be building to near 256th block for those buildings. So far I have 2 and there seems to be space for 3 more. 

Update 14: Week 13's update of the city. I've started a residential neighbourhood with large lots of lots of big trees. The area should have around 6 houses when its done. Right now there are are 2 finished. Also I will be adding in a sewer system to the city soon, an idea from a fellow planetmincraft user that I thought would be really cool :)

Update #15 : 07/18/2012 1:47:21 pm7/18/12

An update of the world save with the newly finished Garden District as well as a sewer system that I just started. Right now it is under York Street but soon I will expand the system and have it under many more streets. There are holes at the sides of traffic lights for water to enter the sewers, there are also trap doors that you can open and climb down to enter the tunnels from the street.

Update #14 : 07/14/2012 8:48:28 am7/14/12

Week 13's update of the city. I've started a residential neighbourhood with large lots of lots of big trees. The area should have around 6 houses when its done. Right now there are are 2 finished.

Update #13 : 07/10/2012 7:00:55 pm7/10/12

Quick mid week update. I've finished up the interiors for all the buildings in the city so far and also got caught up again with the roads. Put street lights and signs at intersections and made crossings etc. 

Update #12 : 07/06/2012 1:17:26 pm7/06/12

Week 12 update, a lot of new things added to the city this week. The new save has 5 new buildings. One still doesn't have an interior but the exterior is finished.

Update #11 : 06/28/2012 4:32:55 pm6/28/12

Its been more than a week since the last save but this time quite a bit has been done to the city. I've added the newest building (in pictures) and so far its my tallest and largest building. Also last week I posted a new project with the downtown area of the city since that is now done. I'll still be making tall buildings just now I won't have them in a downtown layout with all of them packed together. Now I'll be making them on larger lots spaced farther apart and I'll also be making more variety of buildings with older ones, houses, low rises etc. 

Update #10 : 06/16/2012 10:43:42 am6/16/12

New weeks world save

Update #9 : 06/13/2012 9:02:24 pm6/13/12

A load of new things have been added to the central city area, its really shaping up to be nice with buildings at the sides and plazas in the middle. Metro extended, underground parking lot made, 2 new buildings and finished plazas added. 

Update #8 : 06/08/2012 3:34:00 pm6/08/12

New buildings added in the city, highway extended and roads finished. Main thing added is a series of mountains behind the city. Those mountains will add as a dividing line for the city, on the other side will be a big ocean later on. 

Update #7 : 06/05/2012 4:55:04 pm6/05/12

I decided to put a mid week update of the world save as a lot has been added in the past couple of days. New roads, buildings, landscaping and interiors have been done and a whole lot has been made in the new development area. 

Update #6 : 06/03/2012 4:24:46 pm6/03/12

I've added in an airport however it is not completely finished yet. 80% of it is done however I will be working on the exterior and landscaping. The airport at the moment isn't connected to the main city with roads or anything but that will happen when I do the exterior. Its placed on the other side of the river, on the left side. I've put a large blue AP sign on the other side of the river showing where to fly for people who want to check it out. 

Update #5 : 06/01/2012 4:53:55 pm6/01/12

Its been about 5 weeks since I started the project and progress has been really good. I'm really starting to get some good ideas with how the city will look and what should be where. I've started a new area this week which will eventually be the center piece to the project. Basically a 2 level road will go down the middle, on either sides will be smaller buildings with plazas and on the sides of those will be tall skyscrapers. I've started work on it already and so far I've added 3 buildings to the area and made the road and bridge. Theres a picture showing it.

Update #4 : 05/19/2012 11:40:04 am5/19/12

Hey i was wondering, if I gave you all the credit at spawn, could i use this map for my bukkit server as it is a roleplay server and i think that a nice big city, such as your's, would really boost my players as it is only a hamachi server it wont be that big anyway, and of course i woulden't change anything on there exept maybe price the apartments and what not.

First question: What apartment, be it a suite or a Penthouse, would you say is the nicest? and Secondly, When do you plan on having the Shopping Mall and the Airport finished? And last of all, Are you planning anything on the other end of the river besides the airport?

Bascially for the mountains I made them by using world edit and making big rectangular/sqaure blocks of different height. Then I use /br smooth 6 6 and smooth out the corners/edges to give a natural look to it.


Yup, all of this was built by myself. I started the project back in March I believe and have just been working at it ever since. :)

Thanks, I love your medieval builds though. They look really good. To me, it seems harder to build those types of projects because you have to really know what shapes you're making and theres so much detail involved.

Thank you! I downloaded your world and wandered around inside it. I was very impressed. Especially the kitchens. Wish I had a kitchen like that in real life.

The thing about medieval is that most people aren't actually true to the medieval era (it's become a catch phrase for anything non-modern). There's so much flexibility inherent in the builds--it's more fantasy. But modern has a certain rigidity. It must be representative of an architectural style familiar to everyone. In my opinion that makes it really challenging. You pulled it off with flying colors.
