[​UPDATE ON LACK OF PROGRESS]


Hi everyone. I haven't played Minecraft in years and sure enough I have not finished this as I wanted to. Mainly the enviroment/terrain needs some major love. Please, feel free to use as you please and enjoy it as much as I enjoyed building it. The only thing I would ask is "Don't put a paywall or monetize this". I made it out of love for the Witcher games and books so anyone who loved them too could enjoy it in a beautiful game such as Minecraft. I won't work ever again on this, because luckily I am now married and with a family! Life is beautiful!




DESCRIPTION



This is a solo project that I started on 2015 Christmas. I aim to recreate Kaer Morhen and it's surroundigs (landscape) as it has been depicted in The Witcher games, 1 and 3. I mostly use the new version of the Witcher 3, but I also used the Witcher 1 to recreate the top and underground floors of the fortress, not accesible in the last game. I have made up some minor interior areas that were missing such as towers and hallways.

Note that terrain is not very good, especially on the margins of the build, This is because I had to learn how to terraform on the go, while the castle was already constructed. I might update the terrain from time to tme as I improve in this subject.



PROGRESS

The basics have been completed. From now on I will update the download from time to time. I might expand the whole surroundings and add details here and there.

When I finish every basic improvement i can think of, I will proceed to updating the whole castle using the full capabilities of the conquest mod. this means there will be 2 version. One that will be a basic one for conquest RP, and another that will continue to develop with support for the complete conquest package




RESOURCEPACK

Conquest 1.9-10



ISSUES

I changed the RP from Chroma Hills to Conquest. This has given a much realistic look to the whole project, but I'm having some trouble replacing the interior floor patterns.

The design of the fortress has some minor problems, i.e some interior windows have natural light coming through them but they are supposed to be inside a mountain. I have overcome this difficulty by shaping the mountain with conveniently placed cliffs, but it is impossible to provide natural light for every window inside the castle.

This has been worked out in some areas by creating huge cliffs that cut the mountain. I'll provide with pictures soon.



Any ideas and criticism are welcome, as this is a big project for a person and I probably could improve lots of things

Thank you :) and yes, I feel the same way. In fact I had planned to do the whole landscape and surroundings, but as the fortress already reaches from bottom to top of the max. height... That fact has discourgade me as the mountains would look just tiny and unimpressive. But again, thank you for your support !!
