About the project

It's a long time ago, since I've started this project. Back in the days, I loved the visuals and designs of the 1920s -1940s. My favorite was the Chrysler building and so it came that every minecraft map of myself had atleast one of it. Furthermore I gathered interest in the city of New York, as well in its history. So I begun with my first recreation of the midtown area (still downloadable as "old map"!). As the time steps forward, my personal preferences in details and accuracy increased. So I went on to a new horizon - the horizon of lower Manhattan. With this attempt I've started my first 1:1 recreation. First of all difficulty increased slightly due the angled roads in lower Manhattan. But somehow I have mastered them with my triangle from my school utils. For now the project is discontinued. My personal life has changed, I dont play minecraft anymore, but I still want to keep the downloads of the project alive. Maybe someone has the courage to continue or even recreate the project!

Over the time I have met a lot of guys, who were also interesten in the city, the decade and it's history. These guys invested as much as possible time and energy into the project. Thank you for your greatly help!


This map offers

  • a 1:1 recreated street layout of Lower Manhattan in the 1930s!
  • over 400 unique, real existing buildings (a lot of them are demolished today)!
  • atmospheric details (10 years ago style mood)!
  • famous enterable interiors, such as lobbys, churches and more!
  • the possibillity to explore history by your-self!

    In fact that this project is just an exterior replica, there are no general interiors such as lofts, offices and stores!
