Walled Medieval Town

My first project!

This is a small, walled medieval town. Intentionally small and self-contained so it can be fit into almost any world. Drop it on a hill alone or use it as the center of a larger city.

It includes:
- surrounding walls with four gatehouses and an additional four watch-towers.
- a central tower for the lord.
- a central market place.
- 70+ buildings, all furnished, including stores, homes, barracks, workshops and warehouses
- 4 wells
- a small dungeon/jail (beneath the southern gatehouse)
- a mazelike sewer system beneath

Liked this project? Take a look at my Motte & Bailey Castle, the Abandoned Farm, the Greenfeathers Inn, the Valley of the Knock and the Hill Manor.

Additional Notes

My first project intended - almost from the start - to be shared with the world.

Although I've built other towns for my own use, those were much more haphazard in design. With this map, I started with a vision of what I wanted the city to look like and what I wanted it to include.

Specifically, I wanted a walled, round town with a large central tower. Main streets would ray out from the center and circular roads would ring the tower. The town would include a central market near the base of the tower, as well as a grove of trees. I wanted the buildings to be built closely together, both to make the streets feel claustrophobic and so that a "thief" could use the roofs as a secondary highway to go about his business. The town would absolutely need an underground sewer system -preferably somewhat mazelike - as a third, hidden way of getting about town. The town should feel livable and complete, and every structure should be furnished.

I'm happy to say I achieved those goals. I am quite happy with the result and hope you are too.

Additional Credits and Thanks

The vast majority of this content in this project was hand-built by me. However, I admit that -
out of the 80+ structures in the map - a few buildings are from schematics downloaded elsewhere.These include:
"My Small Village In Swamp" by Sliphunter25
(3 buildings)
Medieval Building Bundle by Axianerve
(2 Buildings)
Kings Landing Map by Westeroscraft team
(1 building)

Furthermore, a number of designs are based on video tutorials by MrArcherMC. Although the buildings are all built and modified by me, the basic design owes a lot to his wise tutelage.

You are welcome to use this design in any non-commercial mod or design of your own. Just give me proper attribution. Also, if you make your work available to the public please let me know; I'd love to see your designs too!

A few minor update, just fixing a few things that were bugging the heck out of me

- filled in a few empty blocks beneath the city. I want a solid foundation, gaddurnit!

- deleted a picture that stubbornly insisted on being on the outside of a building, rather than inside the building where it belonged. Fine, be that way; no picture for you!

- added another image just because, and why not?

.Schematic files were a format created by MCEdit, an editor for MineCraft Java (https://www.mcedit.net/). However, MCEdit hasn't been updated in a long time (I think the last version of Minecraft it supported was 1.7; the current version is 1.21 so that's a long time ago) so -unless you still play on those older versions- it's not really an option anymore. I believe Amulet (https://www.amuletmc.com/) has limited support for .schematic files (not everything translates correctly) but I haven't used it so I cannot confirm.

TL;DR: it's an obsolete format that was in vogue 12 years ago and not really an option anymore.

Hi i Know this is a old build but on the off chance you still check this out i was wondering if i could use this build for a modpack im making its just the modpack will require a ton of towns and stuff so building them all would be pretty hard not to mention i suck at building xD!

Heyhey!
I saw your map earlier. It seems to be from an older Version!
Mind if I upload it on my server (Private, for me and 3 friends) and change it a bit? (Like the flowers)
Dont worry, I will put a shield on the entrance to let them know you build it and to check out your account!
Great work, by the way. A really cute little town :) <3

As always, my maps are free to use on your servers, public or private. All I ask is that you give me credit and - if public - let me know where so maybe I can take a look at. I like to see all the changes and improvements people make ;-)

Looks good. It controls the landscape; nobody's getting through that peninsula without paying you a toll :-)
