Hello Folks!

Today, the 11th of September 2015, something massive is awekening and hitting the world of Minecraft, like 'planes' hit the twin towers fourteen years ago! But this sacrifice was essential. Novus Ordo Seclorum - Annuit Cœptis.

And now enjoy this piece of high quality german work!

In best cooperation, me - C_B_John - and Ostpreusse are leading this project with an iron hand, like once the german Kaiser and his Reichskanzler lead the German Empire. God bless the German Empire, which legally still exists. Unfortunately it is unable to act due occupation since 1919. This is also - next to the cultural lost of WWII raid bombing - a point of inspiration for this project. This project has in mind to show up the former beauty of the 'Belle Epoque' in architecture and city design. A must seen for architectural fans

Thank God there was a useful technology at the turn of the 19th and 20th centure, which is known as photochrome. This technology brought us the last withnesses of time, beautiful high-resolution colored photos of the past.

But well, see it yourself, let the pictures bring a gift to you - inspiration.





And, what do you think of these photos? Is that not the way how the world should look like? This world needs a new order and I promise, it will come, finally after alle these years of war, destruction and death.

The project itself is not 1:1 - honestly, this is still sick enough - the project follows more a thematical setting. We set our priority on the realization in Minecraft - as best as possible of course. Every buildings has a lovely detail and full interior. We are in the need of a special resourcepack, which supplies us more than 200 new variations of blocks! The resourcepack is also made by us and we have used just a few textures by other authors, and all the credit should go therefore to them. At all I can say that we are just working on it in our freetime, which means that we are voluntary working on this at all. So this is a endless project..



We are using a special system to create a scaled map, which has the original German Empire in mind.



We have in plan to build the major cities of the German Empire with almost all of their sights.
