Minecraft Cities of Catacombia

in minecraft •  7 years ago  (edited)

Started playing Minecraft after my ex-gf and I broke it off
(What's a guy supposed to do after a breakup... hey?)

Minecraft Cities from map seed #3090760214962658353. (Large Biomes)
Everything created is completed in survival mode.
Number of cities/landscapes modified: 22

Fwy [ 7 ] [ 10 ].png

Caption 1: Tunnel Interchange (extreme hills biome)
( Facing north at Junction of Fwy [ 7 ] & Fwy [ 10 ] )

Distances shown on signs between cities are in hexiles.
Map scale: 16 blocks = 1 hexile.
(eg. Conflux is 573 hexiles = 9,168 blocks distant!)

The following pictures come from MauiJohn's Atoll. (beach biome)
The Island's X, Y, Z position on the map are: -3056, 72, -208

Caption 2: Resort development on the MauiJohn Atoll in the middle of the Ocean. The island's name is dedicated to my friend John H. who is very good at destroying -- I MEAN-- "reconstructing" villages, having mobs appear in his compounds and having to go to my cities, take my villagers and repopulate...

Ok, that is only one part of how this island got its name. During the Summer 2017, I discovered this island. Thinking of a name, my eyes were bloodshot from the construction of tens of thousands of blocks for Freeway [ 10 ]. I was haplessly staring at my computer and on top of it were my sunglasses. Albeit, my sunglasses had a slightly different name than the island's. But as they say, "It's close enough for the girls I go out with..." so if you know your sunglasses you'll get the spoof... ( Facing west on Fwy [ 10 ] )

Caption 3: Hotel MauiJohn. Get away from it all, reasonable rates (free), great fishing too!

Caption 4: Moonrise on MauiJohn's Atoll. What could be more romantic?

The following picture comes from The Lighthouse. (ocean biome)
The Lighthouse's X, Y, Z position on the map are: -1280, 72, +176

Caption 5: Shipwreck Lighthouse & Coast Mtns ( Facing south on Fwy [ 9 ] )
I think the name for this location is self-explanatory. So far, it is the only lighthouse on the map. However, I am considering a name for it... as I am planning on giving newly constructed light houses names. The thought of changing all my freeway signs to the new name is daunting, but if you can help me come up with a clever name, I will post it and link your account.

The following pictures come from a city called Crosspoint. (plains biome)
Crosspoint's X, Y, Z position on the map are: -800, 72, -4480

The following pictures come from a city called Mesozotica. (plains biome)
Mesozotica's X, Y, Z position on the map are: -704, 72, -3504

Mesozotica.pngFwy [ 14 ] Mesozotica.png

Caption 9: Mesozotica Skyline ( Facing south )

How Mesozotica got its name: On the map, I have so far discovered 20 settlements. Meso means middle. Mesozotica is in the middle of all the settlements and because of its exotic location... the name's a no-brainer.

Caption 10: Fwy [ 7 ] and Fwy [ 14 ] Interchange, Mesozotica ( Facing southeast toward Mesozotica )

When viaducts, bridges, tunnels and signage were constructed on the freeways, careful consideration was given to ensure horses could traverse the roads. My other friend T, refuses to use the minecarts and instead takes his trusty stallion to explore the map.

The following pictures come from a city called Sandcliffs. (desert biome)
Sandcliff's X, Y, Z position on the map are: +1232, 72, -208

Caption 11: En route to Sandcliffs from MauiJohn's Atoll
( Facing east Fwy [ 10 ] )
Quick... do the math... What is 267 x 16? Yes! Sandcliffs is 4,272 blocks east of MauiJohn's Atoll and instead of being by the ocean, Sandcliffs is in the desert.

Caption 12: Coast Mountains ( Facing northeast Fwy [ 10 ] )
Caption 13: Sunrise in the Extreme Mountains ( Facing east Fwy [ 10 ] )

Caption 14: En route to Sandcliffs from Ocean to Extreme Mountains
( Facing northwest Junction of Fwy [ 10 ] & Fwy [ 9 ] )

Caption 15: Sandcliffs Skyline ( Facing west Fwy [ 10 ] )
This is one of my favorite cities as I like the building designs.
Building a city foundation on sand is a bigger task than in the savanah or plains.

How did Sandcliffs get its name? Look at the cliffs surrounding the city... guess what its made of?

So... I bet you are wondering... Now that I have been broken up for a few years (YES that's how long I've been on this map), you may want to know what is more important... finding a new girlfriend or playing Minecraft (while listening to SGT Report, WAM or X22 on steemit)?

Muahahahahahaaaaa cough cough
