History:
The City of Newisle is a modern Minecraft city that started with one goal: make a detailed and eye-catching city skyline. And it became much, much more than that. The project began all the way back in August of 2010 during the early alpha days and has been kept alive ever since. It's been done entirely solo and is my one and only world save to date – and it's now one of the oldest Minecraft maps that is still actively updated to this day and one of the most detailed Minecraft city maps.
Newisle is not a 1:1 scale map with a bunch of beautifully designed but empty buildings. It's a functioning place meant to be played like a Minecraft world. You'll find shops, apartment buildings and homes, office towers, minecart-powered transit lines and a variety of places meant to make it feel like a real, livable place in Minecraft. It can be used for survival scenarios, custom servers, roleplay and everything in between.
Since its early days of crude cobblestone structures and basic materials the city has grown substantially into a wide-reaching modern metropolis. Littered with historic monuments, crisscrossing rail lines and hundreds of fully furnished buildings; there's no shortage of sites to see around Newisle and beyond – there are also 9 other independent cities and towns to explore outside of the core city. They each have their own vibe and story as well.
Grab a minecart from Union Station or set out on foot using the highway system. A world map file is included with each download to help you get around this massive world. It's yours to explore, survive or destroy as you see fit!
Latest build: Newisle version 1.3.1 – released July 4, 2024
FAQ:
Q: Did this really take over 13 years to build?
A: It was built over the course of 13 years, not 13 years straight. This was strictly a casual project by someone who likes cityscapes, urbanism and urban planning. I took a bunch of breaks that ranged from weeks, months and even well over a year at one point. To put it simply, Newisle became one of those "too big to abandon" projects that I updated in between other hobbies and interests. It’s near and dear to me and still gives me enjoyment. I’ve put a lot of thought and care into making this world my own but also making it fun for the community of fans who constantly give me suggestions. Over 900,000 people have downloaded this map to date through various sites and apps, so you all really keep me going.
Q: Can I use your map for my video, server, etc.?
A: Of course. As long as you provide credit where credit is due, I'm supportive of anything the Minecraft community does with this map (e.g. if you're doing a YouTube video, a link to the Marketplace download in your description would be much appreciated).
Q: What inspired you to build this map?
A: Besides having a bit of an interest in urban planning, I enjoy skyline and cityscape photography, so Newisle is kind of built on that. The buildings themselves are inspired by the city I spent most of my life in, Toronto, as well as New York, Chicago and Montreal.
Q: What game version does this map use?
A: The map was worked on up until version 1.20, so your best bet is to stick to that or later versions. Earlier versions of Minecraft may corrupt the save file since this uses blocks from 1.20. You can download earlier versions by scrolling down further to the Old Map Versions section but be aware they have less content than newer versions.
Q: Was this built in Survival?
A: No, the map began when Creative mode didn't exist yet but ever since Creative was introduced I've used it exclusively and have never claimed otherwise.
Q: What's the world seed?
A: The seed is -3955966261899637229. However, the seed is probably pointless to put in when generating a new world. Newisle is so heavily terraformed that a new map will look nothing like the landscape in this one.
Q: How do you pronounce the name?
A: New. Isle. Like "New Island," but one word. It was originally a series of islands that I linked together back in the alpha days.
Q: Is Newisle kid-friendly?
A: Yes. There aren't any signs with swear words or any questionable content. I've made sure to keep the map tame so that all ages can enjoy it.
Q: Did you use any editing software?
A: Yes, I used WorldPainter for some of the more detailed terrain, such as the mountains, and for smoothing out parts of the map that had gotten ruined by game updates over the years. I also used Amulet Editor for many tedious things like placing roads and for precise tasks like doing multiple stories in the buildings or putting in identical subway tunnels. Otherwise, there would have been countless times when builds would be 1 or 2 blocks off and would have needed a complete restart. And who would want to do that?
Q: What did you use to make the maps with (the images that come with the download)?
A: They are all my own creations in Photoshop. JourneyMap was really helpful to make the bird's eye view as well.

here it is, the last scene is from the newisle, the quality of the video isnt that high because I recorded and edited it in 7 hours
By the way, what is the oldest mainly intact/not demolished building?
The oldest building in the world is my very first build: the castle in the heart of downtown Newisle, which is now the city hall. As the first build ever it'll never be knocked down or replaced.
Nice to hear you're enjoying the world!
I started naming roads in VladenVille after famous servers and/or city projects, I would love to have a "NewIsle street"!
