Hey, Crafters!

This is where I'll be posting about my current large scale medieval fantasy project.

Greenvale is a medium sized medieval style town, and the first part of what will eventually be a larger fantasy world. As you'll see, there's a lot to do before the town itself is completed, but I eventually want the world to contain several 'human' towns like this one - with surrounding farmland, mines, etc, and possibly a capital city - an elven town, a dwarven town, a few dungeons to explore, and all the usual medieval fantasy stuff!

The town contains an increasing number of original builds (such as the castle/Manor House, some of the shops/houses, and general decorations), as well as builds by YouTubers Andyisyoda, Lord Dakr, Cubey, Jeracraft, Madnes64, Rizzial, and more. If you see any builds or designs that are yours, please message me and I'll add your name to the credits.

In the next post, I'll add some pictures of the town so far, along with a list of completed buildings, and a list of things left to build which I'll update as I go.
After that, we'll take a closer look at the completed exteriors and interiors of each build.

Guardhouse & Barracks

The centre of military organisation and training in Greenvale, the guardhouse and two barracks house the town's garrisoned militia, who function as the law enforcing town guards. The buildings are from two different barrack tutorials by Jeracraft.

Mayor's Office

From a YouTube tutorial by Andyisyoda, the Mayor's Office is Greenvale's primary municipal building. While administration and other important civic duties are carried out here, the building isn't a true town hall, as I imagine town/council meetings would be held in a public forum such as the tavern, inn, or main hall of the manor.




Features
(Gallery Here)

  • Public notice board outside main entrance

  • Lobby area with couch and fireplace

  • Mayor's Office - The mayor uses the office as a place to compose and/or sign important documents, review records, receive messages, and everything else you'd expect a mayor to do in their office.

  • Town Clerk's Office - The town clerk organises meetings and deals with most of the record keeping and routine administrative tasks for the town, processing guild applications and property sales, taking stock inventories, etc.

  • Financeer's Office - The financeer acts as town treasurer and banker, keeping track of the town's finances, recording and enforcing taxes, offering loans, etc. He is also the head of Greenvale's Merchants Guild

  • Postmaster's Office - The postmaster deals with all incoming and outgoing messengers, couriers, heralds, and delivieries for the town, ensuring all messages reach their intended destination. The job includes keeping a record of all reciepts and dispatches.

  • First floor library/reading area, storage space, and access to balconies

  • Second floor attic space for extra storage

Greenvale Church & Graveyard

Greenvale, being a frontier town, only has a small church, built when the town was just starting out as a village. The church is the centre of the human monotheistic religion in Greenvale, and also the town's place of healing. Priests in this world are similar to the 'white mages' or 'healers' from fantasy RPGs. The church is a remodelled Mojang village church - tutorial by Rizzial - with a few personal touches. The graveyard uses most of a tutorial by TSMC, but with some changes and tweaks to fit the build.





Church Features
(Gallery Here)
  • Small entrance area

  • Several rows of pews

  • Altar

  • First floor balcony and reading area

  • Belltower with bell and large cross

  • Neat 'stained glass' windows

Graveyard Features
  • Gate and walls

  • Small mausoleum

  • Two large cross grave-markers with R.I.P inscription

  • Headstones with the following 'inscriptions': 'Robin Banks - R.I.P', 'Myra Mains - R.I.P', 'Claire Voyant - Should've seen it coming', 'John Yeast - Pardon me for not rising', 'Barry M. Deep - R.I.P', 'Malcolm Tent - Henpecked Husband', 'Evelyn Tent - Overbearing Wife', 'Anne Teek - R.I.P', and 'Roland Stone - Gathering moss now'

  • Single open, unmarked grave

  • Lots of flowers and a customised tree

Updates

Just a few changes...
  • Cheese shop added!
  • New small house added.
  • Caged chickens added to Butchers shop, marketplace, and eggs/sugar/flour stall. Using the new acacia trapdoors. It made sense and they look awesome.


  • All animal water-troughs and the Manor bathtub were changed to incorporate the new water-in-stairs mechanic. Incidentally, the toilet got a bit of a redesign, too.


  • The cow pen by the main gate is bigger now!


  • Added a roof window to the second floor of the potter's workshop/house.

Main Gate

Not a great deal to look at here. The gatehouse and wall designs are both by Madnes64, with some personal touches.




Features
(Gallery Here)
  • Robust gatehouse with towers

  • Towers contain a storage room and seating for guards on the ground floor

  • Accessible walls that will eventually enclose the entire town

Thanks! I'd love to be able to port the finished world, or somehow make it available for others to explore. Maybe it's something I can look into in the future.
