Please read!
If you want to use the city or parts of it in your own server/project/video etc., you are free to do so, as long as you mention me in the description of the project. If you don't do that (moreover, if you claim it as your own content), you could be reported for stealing/unoriginality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the buildings furnished?
No, except for some fast food joints, gas stations etc. I work on this project alone, so to complete it faster I focus mainly on the exteriors.
What resource pack are you using?
A slightly tweaked version of Soartex Fanver.
What are the co-ordinates for the city centre?
X: 580, Z: -525.
Which versions of Minecraft are compatible with this map?
1.8 and newer.

Another great cinematic of the city, made by BlueFoxCinematic!

There is a dedicated YouTube channel for the project.

About the project
After ditching my old project Mattula back in December 2011, I decided to build a new city with the help of some friends on a server I hosted, and that's how Mattupolis came to be. In 2014, not satisfied in the stylistic direction of city, I started to completely rework the city. That is when Vancouver, Canada became my main influence. Once complete, the map will consist not only of a diverse range of commercial, residential and industrial districts, but also the surrounding countryside, its small towns and natural sights.

Mattupolis is a Pacific Northwest -themed city, based mostly on Vancouver, BC and Seattle, WA. My aim is to create a somewhat modern, green, realistic and interesting city environment. So far there are 150-200 high-rises with more coming up at a steady rate, an observation tower based on Seattle's Space Needle, lots of parks, a huge multi-purpose arena, at least one Tim Hortons/Starbucks per block, a music festival and a seaside convention center, only to name a few. As for infrastructure, the city boasts an extensive motorway system. Since New York City was my initial inspiration, the very center of Downtown is loosely based on Times Square. There is also an airport and a subway network (both currently under construction).
From the looks of it right now, I will only furnish a few select buildings, as I barely have enough spare time to build the exteriors to begin with. I would like to see this project completed within the next couple years, not 20 years from now ;) More pictures will be uploaded as the city expands.

If you like this project, please consider leaving a diamond!

Cities that inspire me
Vancouver (BC), Seattle (WA), Victoria (BC), Portland (OR), Toronto (ON), New York (NY), Budapest (HU). Copenhagen (DK), Barcelona (ES).

I have questions about Mattupolis
On your site where there are pictures, I see below, an IKEA. And I see on a picture an IKEA and a station who is modern. And still down, I see a red rail. But on the isometric map, I don't see the IKEA and the modern station, and the red rail. Where are they ?

Could you tell me the seed for the map? ( does it have one, lol. )
  • mattuFIN

It's the good old Glacier seed.
Whats the number??
  • mattuFIN
  • Level 73

  • September 3, 2018, 3:42 am

No idea, back in the day I would just type the seed in text upon creating a world.

The number probably shows up in the data when you press F3 in-game. (I'm not able to check at the moment)

Are you asking this because of the terrain? I edited it myself in WorldPainter, so simply using the seed won't work.
Hey I really love this map! Do you mind if my friends and I use this map for our roleplay channel? We shall give credits

I'll probably just keep adding stuff to Mattupolis even after the project is finished. I don't see myself joining servers or starting new projects in the near future, but who knows.

Hi mattuFIN!
I'd like to ask how you created the terrain of your city, with the hills and forests.
Did you use a program, or did you download the world?

Thanks

WorldPainter. The trees used are from Lentebriesje's tree pack.

Could this, by any chance, be made into an .mcworld some time in the future? I’m sure I, along with countless others, who are on the console versions of the better together update, would love the chance to explore and experience this map.

thanks In Advance

Hey, thank you MattuFIN! I love this project. I'm only still exploring the Burrand Park, and West End areas, but it's all really well created. Do most homes have furniture elsewhere? I can't really find any, and it's more convenient to have pre-made furniture, as I'm not too good at that stuff. Anyways, this is a really good map, and I've only got a few percents checked out. :3

(Also, do you have mob/ entity spawning off??? I also found a dungeon on the southside of the map. And also, also, I think it would be super kool to have some sort of camp grounds in the map.... maybe two... preferably one in a forest area.....)

Glad to hear you like the map. Only a few buildings are furnished so far, as I'm not good at interiors either. Besides, making interiors to all the currently existing buildings would take me several years. If you're looking for a good quality city map with furnished building interiors, I'd recommend Greenfield.
Don't know about the mob spawning, the map used to be on a server so that might have messed the settings up. There isn't yet a proper campground, but you'll find plenty of forested areas with trails and everything, just to the south of Downtown.
Thank ya, sir. You said it was on a server. Are you saying it was also constructed by a build team, and are you perhaps willing to put it on a server with a build team? I'm good at nature-related stuff, but not the best. I'd be willing to try and furnish some stuff with ya. I've played greenfeild. (To me, it does not compare...)

I had some friends to build with at first, eventually they lost interest and I kind of started the project over. Been working on my own ever since, and I switched to single player because the local server was a bit of a hassle at times. I doubt I'll be hosting a server again anytime soon, since my connection isn't good enough to host locally and I don't feel like paying for a rented server either.

Aye. If it was more towny or rp friendly, you could start it up as a server. If it's good enough later, you can always have those purchased ranks with perks, and stuff. IDK. If it was juuuuust popular enough, you could cancel out or even make profit off of it after paying the rent part.

I will say, your skills are pretty legendary. I'm not too shabby, but I have a 30 day free trial on my spare account for realms. We should be able to work on it if you want for a bit. My offer's up for a bit.
Is every house with furniture??

Hey! I'd like to download this map, but it's a .rar file. Can you send me a .zip file, please? Also, you should build SFU from in Vancouver. It's just a university on a hill with a big square hollow building in the middle. Hey, can I suggest a few ideas, but privately, please? Thanks.

Have you tried opening the .rar using 7zip?
A replica of SFU is in the plans, the mountain it's supposed to be built on is already featured in the map.
Feel free to PM me any suggestions.

Thanks mattuFin for giving me permission to make a slideshow video on this project for my first You Tube video that I will make. This city project that you are working on means a lot to me because it completely turned around my building focus in Minecraft, going from late 19th to early 20th century to modern. expanding and challenging myself to build more architectural styles besides Gothic Revival, Renaissance revival and Beaux-arts styles and adding Postmodern, International Style and Mid-Century Modern architecture, to add a few.

Do you have an overview map of all the regions? I'm constantly lost in this world. I'm following a road in Downtown Vancouver and suddenly I'm on a street in Kelowna, or Kamloops, or who-knows-where. Some street signs may be incorrectly named because some don't show up in Google Maps; for example, at Canada Place, the road is incorrectly named W. Vancouver Ave - it's actually W. Waterfront Rd.

I just really need a map to know which areas are which to help get a video done (you'll be credited).

There's a map of districts at the end of the project pictures at the top of this page. And I'd suggest using the map I've uploaded on Minecraft World Map for navigation as it's interactive.
As for the streets, I didn't name them after their real-life counterparts, aside from a few exceptions.
