In 1.5 I started on a Castle, but never finished... I'm starting it back up again. Complete with "drawbridge" and gates, a courtyard, militia towers, church, and a bedrock place for fighting withers so far!

Please download and see the world for yourself -- point out any improvements you think that can be made, and give a diamond if you like the build! The download is to be updated soon, after I complete the outer walls and moat.

Additional Notes

I used the John Smith texture pack to take snapshots of the map, as it was the texture pack I used when building the Castle. To download the texture pack (which I did not create), go here:

Make sure to click on the correct download and not download some random game or virus onto your computer.

The church as seen in the map was made via a church tutorial by JamziboyMinecraft.
