Consider scale carefully in what you want to accomplish size-wise.įor my pyramid, I will have to scale it down quite a bit if I am to complete it in in decent shape and in a reasonable time. Scale: Some builds are impressive for their detail, beauty or sheer volume. Time: How much time do you have for your project and how much are you realistically willing to spend on it?įor our purposes, the time frame will be about 2-4 hours. Since the proportional size of a Minecraft Block is a cubic meter, we will have to do some scaling. The Great Pyramid in Giza is 146.5 Meters tall and 200 meters wide on all sides. Horizontally, however, the sky is the limit, so to speak. If your build is above this, then it's best to scale it down. Size: The vertical limit to which you can place blocks in Minecraft is 128 blocks from bedrock. The success of your projects depends greatly on practical aspects like size, time, and scale. What, if any, limitations will you run into in accurately recreating your idea in Minecraft?.What is most aesthetically important about your build?.

Minecraft skyscraper construction how to#
With a bit of organization and planning most any idea can come to fruition, and so this past Saturday's Weekly Workshop was all about the epic build and how to realize it. Have you found yourself inspired with a dream build while at a loss as to how to realize it? Are you lost in a sea of details, quick to give up on what might just be a great idea? Many who dream in block form encounter this obstacle, but there is good news for those who dream big. Countless projects such as these are being worked on as we speak, and they serve to inspire us all. I'm sure some of you have seen the one-to-one scale recreation of the Starship Enterprise from Star Trek or the epic server Godcraft. Over the past year and a half countless epic builds, servers, and community projects have been undertaken. Here are the Skyscrapers I plan to build as well.Minecraft is not just a game. Your support is greatly appreciated and is absolutely priceless to me!Īnd for the heck of it. If you like this project hit the like button below and if you feel so inclined you can donate materials at 3129.

I might even go as far as to try to recreated Center City Philadelphia on SMP2. I might actually be tearing down some of my older skyscrapers so keep an eye out for future grief parties. I will be building the BNY Mellon Center, Shown below, at 3129 on smp2. Guess you could call it a surge in local pride but I really wanted to show EMC some of the majestic steel giants that loom over my city's streets. From now till the end of the year all my skyscrapers that will be built will be from Philadelphia. This skyscraper is a little bit closer to home then all my others.
