17 - Kingdom Infrastructure and Color/Block Palette

Originally, this was meant to be one of the first posts for this project, but I decided it would be better to have actual builds to look at instead of just some blocks. Anything in this kingdom that could be considered infrastructure or property of the Crown in some way is made out of the same blocks to support the idea that there is a consistent plan/organizer behind major public works in this kingdom. So far this includes the city walls and guard towers, major bridges and roads, and eventually the castle overlooking the city. By using a consistent palette for certain builds, I have some opportunities for building lore and new buildings off that. Eventually there will be a large mine shaft/pit where all the stone comes from, and a logging company that collects all the wood.

18 - A Small Farm and Cabin

14 - Mackues Vineyard, now with a Vineyard

12 - Pig Farm and Landscaping

Stepping away from the city for a bit, I decided to begin one of the many farms that will be throughout the kingdom. Due to the space available and being on the cliffs, I couldn’t make sprawling fields of crops and decided on a goat farm. After all the goats jumped out of their pens, I decided a pig farm was a much better idea.

The hardest part of this build was the trees. I have only recently started making custom trees in Minecraft but I am quite happy with what I have accomplished. After making four unique trees (two oaks, two birches) I opened up the world edit help website and puzzled out how to copy/ paste builds. I copied these four trees and pasted them around to create a nice woodland. I then got out the bonemeal, azaleas, and mushroom blocks to really do some wilding. With the addition of some bees and a small pond, I was satisfied with the build, and called it good.

19 - Verne Books and a Courtyard

Another small update, this time for some urban progress. The city now has a bookstore called Verne Books. I went with a dark green and dark brown color palette, with light colored highlights, and I think the end result is a very nice bookshop. Part of the store has a low, mossy roof with an azalea tree and a second floor with a large window to admire the scenery while shopping for books.  There is also a balcony that looks out over a courtyard. This courtyard was originally going to be a market but I decided to move the market and make this just a scenic place to gather. It is not completely finished, but I thought there was enough progress to showcase it. Next to the bookstore is one of the main bridges of the city, which has some houses on top of it to add to the verticality of the city. As of now, these houses won’t get a spotlight post as they’re just empty and too cramped to get good camera angles, but things can change.

16 - Kingdom Developments

After some more world edit, the city has undergone massive expansions. I shall cover this in order of the pictures above.

Image 1 is the road to the south of the city, and the new mountain there was made with a large cave inside. I am still thinking about what to make in there.

Image 2 shows off the new south gate, which is built into the mountain itself and opens into the caverns. There is also a nice lake/pond that I built some islands in and added some more pig farm trees.

Images 3 and 4 showcase the new caverns. These are mainly under the future castle and were done to fix the problem of how to make the city more evenly spaced around the castle. In the future, there will be houses and shops down here, making up a whole underground district. To solve the darkness problem I made some large mushrooms out of mushroom blocks, warped hyphae, sculk, and the new froglights. Overall, I am quite pleased with how they look and the level of light they add.

Images 5 and 6 feature the northern gate and the new bridge. While not overly detailed, I am happy with the build, but will probably be tweaking it as more work is done that way.
