UPDATE: Another PMC user, Originalmadman, has kindly made additions to my original build not only to improve on various details but also so it is now compatible with the 1.5 default texture pack. You can download his updated version here. Alternatively, check out his server damnationeu where you can see this build and many more.

World Download now available! (please read additional notes for further download details)

Adamantis - an enormous fantasy city built upon high cliffs from which natural springs and rivers flow, carried to the city by a network of aqueducts. The city's smaller buildings are built in tiers above the cliffs connected by walkways and bridges leading to a large, open temple complex built into the highest cliffs which overlooks the city.

The city was designed and built entirely by myself and took roughly 3 months.

This is the first in a series of builds I hope to post on my page over the coming weeks and months.

Enjoy :)

Please subscribe and diamond for more

Many thanks to _Toby_ for filming the cinematic and also to Mithrintia, the server I built this on, for their continued support and encouragement. 

Finally thanks to Invis for making the beautiful banner.

This is amazing. The only issue is that the ice melts and water goes everywhere.

I think the only problem I had with this map is the ice melting all over the place, due to all of the light sources everywhere. Other than that, this is a fantastic map, and I greatly enjoyed wandering around on the top, shooting arrows at the mobs I'd spawned down below.

It is no doubt, the most amazing build I could have come across.
But, I WAS disappointed when I downloaded the world.
You called it a city, which made me expect a little town inside the circle of walls, but it ended up just being a bunch of random buildings that were in fact, inhabitable. It was a small space to work with inside a tower. There were no mines to work with at the least, and the space was far too large to work with. Walking a long distance in order to reach a small farm was indeed very unpleasant.

I ended up just liking how it looked and not really liking the details to the inside.
For me, the looks aren't important, it's how you can USE the environment around you that's important.

Thanks for your comment.Adamantis would never be a practical city - it lacks infastructure, basic housing and an enormous amount of other things required by a conventional city. I am aware of this, but Adamantis was not built to be function - it was built *entirely* from an aesthetic perspective.
If, as you say, looks aren't important to you - I suggest you stop looking at minecraft creative builds. The vast, vast majority of minecraft builds are built in the same way as this one, prioritizing aesthetics over practicality, and there's a perfectly logical reason behind that.If I built a city in minecraft, it is never going to be inhabited, its a virtual city. However it will be viewed and looked at by others - in that way it's more similar to a piece of art than anything else.
I am particularly sorry you had to walk a long distance to reach your farm, the Gods actually fly to their farms so it probably isn't a problem.

I'm not sure if you'll answer this but what do you use to make the land around the build? I'm going all out on my next project and I just really want the land around it to be perfectly formed for the build.

Hey, the surrounding terrain was made using voxelsniper. If you're not sure on how to use it just do a bit of research, tons of great tutorials freely available.
Good luck with your project.

wow, im speechless... looks like a BlockFortress build, but still with a sense of a better builder than him behind this great build. gonna download it and check it out in details.


DIAMOND FOR YOU!!

so, you builded this in the Mithrintia Server??
makes me a lot more interested. I've been talking with Creolucis about that server, so you may soon see me in there. Im working on a cathedral and as far as i understood from Creolucis, i should just prove how good i am to build, cause your guys will of course not have any poor builds in there. Therefor im also expecting to upload a project here soon, which i hope holds enough detail to let me in, cause i would love to build something awesome, in a awesome world, on a awesome multiplayer server, surrounded by awesome guys and awesome builds.

I do already have an idea for what to build, IF i get in.
