This will be my largest single build to date, completely legit in survival mode. I have taken the basic floor plan from an old historic building somewhere in Europe and will be recording each step and every block placed or removed on camera. As I build this project I will be providing clues both here and on the videos.

The Roof is Nearly Complete!

I have not built a cathedral before so I thought I would give it a shot in my single player world that I have named The Wolf Den. This building was inspired by the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris France and will contain a water theme, with a large central pool and numerous water falls.

All of the buildings shown in the backgrounds of photos and videos is from my Wolf Den town. If you would like to watch me building this legit town from scratch here is a link for the entire playlist. The Wolf Den Playlist

The seed shown only works for updates 1.0 and 1.1.

(RAW is an experimental YouTube series where I actually build everything on camera and discuss how I design, plan and the techniques I use when building large structures in a legit survival world. Please be patient this building process can be quite slow, as I would like to present every step and mistake I make on the videos above.)

EDIT: 08/29/2012 "I have decided to forgo the RAW style for a more progressive style of LP with brief progress reports and updates"

Edit: 08/29/2012 "At this stage of the build (30%) I am currently working on adding some of the more artistic stonework features around the outsides of the ground floor"

Edit: 09/26/2012 "At this stage of the build (60%) I am currently working on finishing up the roof as well as working on some of the interior decor."

I will continue to build this project in 1.2.4 even though 1.3.2 is already out. The new features such as the stairs and halfslabs may see me updating this map sooner rather than later.

(The world download is my town right before I started working on this project. A more up-to-date download will be available after I announce my inspiration for this build.)

EDIT: 08/29/2012 "A NEW World Download will be available in the next update"

EDIT: 08/30/2012 "A NEW World Download is now available!"

EDIT: 09/26/2012 "A NEW World Download is now available!"

Additional Details

I will be uploading many of my past projects over the course of the next few months, so please check back often to see what new projects I come out with.
Also check out RAW Phase 01.
I may be changing up the video recording style a bit and remove some of the more redundant activities in the future.
Finally started working on the second floor walls and windows.

Part #30 Video

While working on the glass ceiling I realized that the support columns need to have arches running between them. This is what I came up with. Enjoy!

While in the grips of a creative moment I decided to add this crazy glass arch to the very top section of the roof.

Part #15 Video

Today I begin work on the second floor. The first part is to lay in the wood planks for the floor. Once in place I can stand on them as I build up the walls and windows.

Oh and don't forget the torches to ward off Mob Spawns!

Inlaid Flooring : 08/09/2012 4:51:56 pm8/09/12

Part #13 Video

I have been trying to figure out what kind of pattern I should put in the floor. So I finally dug a trench down the center for a nice sunken effect.
