WORLD EDIT WORKS AGAIN !!!

So excited that I got world edit working! So I just realized that when you install the mod, youre suposed to Back Up Minecraft I didnt know till now that it backs up the minecraft jar so if it craps out like it usually does, you can just drag the file back and reset. I would always uninstall and reinstall the game which sucked and caused problems including the delition of my city. This may even help me do other mods because if the .jar gets screwed up then I can just go back to the backup. Thats kinda what its for! Prepare for epic builds now! FYI the Dabai metro station was 100% built when I DID NOT have world edit. Imagine how better the stations will be with world edit. Well bye, Im going back to building these epic builds. Also stay tuned for my horror series, modern building that turn into nasty deathtraps. Well see you later!

Dubai Metro Annimation Video

Where I got my ideas for my Dubai Metro station. Two minutes into the video is where the design is shown. I got my minecraft ideas from this. Watch and compare. I will try to make a video of my minecraft version of the station in the future.

Dubai Metro Animation

2/17 UPDATE

My huge modern city got deleted when my Minecraft crashed and gave me errors and I had to reinstall the game. I backed up my saves but the stupid computer decided not to back up my city. World edit wont work anymore and I have to go back to building my old lame buildings... Not anymore. I just created a station that looks very similar to the ones on the new Dubai Metro line in Dubai which I think and probably is the most modern city in the world. My station uses the same arcitecture as the stations in Dubai which is the curved roofs with the pointy tips on the ends. I think it looks very nice recreated in minecraft and makes these buildings unique. The interior is very simmilar and includes the same turnstile and ticket booth layout and the platform including the glass platform screen doors. If you notice I created a new texture which is the metal sliding doors texture, used in most buildings and as garage doors. The parking garage uses these and they make it more realistic than an open doorway. Since I didnt have world edit I created everything myself and I believe it is very unique then the boxy feel of my world edit builds. The parking ares uses a complex structure of beams and doesnt look like it was just copy and pasted. I built this world in the same area as my older yellow line which has sevrial huge modern stations. With those, I decided to make the lighting darker and it really looks like your in a dark underground tunnel. I hope to add buildings to the Dubai station so it will look like it is in a big city. Enjoy the pictures, use the tabs above!

MODERN CITY STATISTICS!

List of the builds I have added as of 1/25.

3 Highways in different directons
Toll booths
Rest area with gas,bathrooms, and food court
3 large parking garages- three,seven, and ten floors-over 400 parking spots!
4 full size highway exits, many ramps over/underpasses
1 office building-more coming soon
HUGE factory with shipping areas (redstone powered roof skylights!)
Three story strip mall, no shops added yet
Underground bathrooms
Hospital-under construction
2 sets of glass tunnels connecting garages to street level
large overpasses on highway exits and garages
trees/landscaping in grassy areas

CITY INFO:

Some parts of garages and some buildings have ramps/elevator acess

All doorways at least 2x2.5 blocks high

Maxium clearence for cars is 3 blocks high yet signs, roofs may allow for 4 to 5 blocks

All road,garage systems would make sense in real life, to scale with real highways, two lane traffic, driving on the right.

All sides of roads have yellow sides for lane lines, and concrete barriers afterward

Cars would be 2x3 in real life, my roads are all 3 blocks wide, parking spaces 2x3

All turns allow for a 3 block wide "imagineary car" to drive arround without hitting concrete (might run over yelow line)

Ramps have slope of 1:2  This means that roads have a gradual hills and no sudden drop-offs

All roads have green "signs" and enough lighting to see at night



Check back for more buildings and roads to be added to the city. Tabs on the top of the page show the pistures. Comment for building ideas, requests! (must be modern and go well with the city)


Future plans:

Mall
Airport
Stadium/arena(s)
Hotels
