Should we focus the main town to be in one building style?

3 years ago by TheHolyT to c/minecraft

I believe we should focus on making the town feel more like one in which everything fits together. Right now, the town has a lot of different styles, making it look disorganized and almost misshapen. I believe the "Castro" square and Michael Parenti University's styles are really good; the castro one is easier to build and looks good, but the Michael Parenti one looks better but is a lot harder to build.

Well personally I want to make the smelter in a contemporary style but it'll be outside of the current "city core" if you will. I definitely think we should upgrade the cobblestone boxes. I do have one major concern, though. A lot of the buildings are primarily wood (including the roofs!) and close together. One bad thunderstorm, mis-clicked flint and steel, or griefer and the entire city will be up in flames.

I think I deactivated fire spread back when I managed the server, but I'm not 100% sure it actually works. Someone should put some wooden planks in a safe area and light a fire to see if it spreads.

Would my oil rig be hit by those new regulations ? It's not really part of the main town.

No I'm only talking about the city, structures outside it can look however you want

As the one behind Stalin street and the whole concept of the "urban center", I'm emotionally inclined to protect it. Personally, I feel like commieblock is the way to go, but I have the stylistic ability of a rock.

It's been years since I played minecraft, do you have a picture of michael parenti university? And does it contain a reference to microphones?

Needs to have a statue of Michael fighting a microphone. Like in a boxing ring with gloves.

I think we don't have to limit ourselfs to 3 blocks.

A bit of Oak Log framing, and not too exotic materials to fill it in could be a rough guideline. Also some buildings already use a smoother stone framing, that style could be used for some more industrial buildings.

Also detail level to the taste and the ability of the architect.

Yea i dont mean that limiting, just dont allow giant cobble cubes and stuff like that, just make general guidelines on what a house should look like

I feel like a good way to do it would be to have different districts with different styles.
