As someone who's currently trying to build a realistic city, I've been really struggling with building modern buildings and skyscrapers.

Common Problems for me are: -The lack of "modern" blocks and color variations. -The lack of smaller blocks to detail outer facades. -Minecraft glass makes glass skyscrapers look hollow and seethrough instead of reflecting or being darker in color.

I know there are many Texture Packs and Mods but I personally think they defeat the purpose. And they're also not available for everybody.

Minecraft is supposed to be creative and fun but not being able to build the stuff the way I'd like to is really demotivating and makes me wanna quit my projects.

What do you think about it and have you experienced something similar?

Most of the builds are schematics available online that I changed the palette to match the manor. My own design is the layout, the walls, the pond and the river (see last pictures for that)

Started this creative build back in 2011! This world takes inspiration from european cities from the 1600s.

I have been buildig a giant solarpunk map for almost a year now, mixing a lot of different styles/subgenres like high-tech, low-tech, cottage core, Afrofuturism and more. I hope you'll enjoy !

My 2 year old (today) Minecraft survival world , thought I'd share here !

Some town I’m building in Minecraft with the sole goal of making it as realistic as possible!

Thie idea was to build a city stacking up on itself...Kinda got out of hand.

I've been building for 2.5 years on this cyberpunk city (and still workking on it). It's time to post some pictures.

I didnt saw any like it in the internet and it might be usefull for those who loves big doors and gates but hate having to use trapdoors to build them 'cause messes up villagers pathing.

Building it with shelves like this is is mob proff, no monster can enter, no villager can leave, even cats are trapped inside, but as you can see,the plays can pass easily and adds that "slightly open" wooden gate visual.

almost 3000 days!!! (as long as I don't die haha) let me know what you think? also i make youtube videos on this world if you wanna check here is my most recent!: https://youtu.be/z7jlE-psbcA im still very new to this haha but i enjoy the process nonetheless!

We started this project in August of 2024, and now, two years and more than 1,500 hours later, our original vision is mostly complete!

Our community recently voted to name the town Shiomi (潮見). The project was inspired by too many places to list, but especially Himeji, Matsumoto, Hagi, Osaka, and Kyoto.

It began as just a large Japanese castle complex, but we didn't want to build another castle surrounded by nothing but forest. The idea grew into a full castle town containing around 400 buildings.

The town has gone through countless iterations, with entire landscapes and sections being built, rebuilt, and reworked along the way.

We plan to continue developing Shiomi by completing the gardens, adding more roadside detail and street life, rebuilding the oldest samurai district buildings, expanding the town into the surrounding farmland, creating farming villages, and much more. 99% of the buildings don't have interiors, but maybe we'll do a few more.

Building a city with some friends and one of the recently finished building a medical center. What kind of building would go next to something like that ?
