“These are NOT Cities: Skylines”: the player built a metropolis in Minecraft, inspired by Chicago and New York
Minecraft fans regularly post their interesting creations on the web. For example, in recent months, they have showcased an elven city, settlements with architecture from different eras, and Mos Eisley from Tatooine. And sometimes users share truly colossal structures. These include the metropolis from a visitor to the Reddit forum under the pseudonym the_balazs. His project can only be compared with Greenfield, the largest city in Minecraft.
If you look at the work of an enthusiast with a cursory glance, you get the impression that the pictures depict a metropolis from Cities: Skylines (the author even separately noted that this is not so). It’s only when you zoom in on the screenshots that you begin to notice the characteristic cubic architecture of Minecraft.
The_balazs worked on his creation for three years. When creating the city, he focused on Chicago and New York, which is noticeable in individual skyscrapers and bridges. The enthusiast’s metropolis stands out for its variety of buildings. In addition to high-rise buildings of various shapes, the images published above show the port, industrial complex, and construction site. The_balazs built several transport ships on the water and set aside a separate area for a park and a beach.
The player’s work impressed many people on Reddit, and they gave it over ten thousand positive marks.
By the way, the metropolis the_balazs is freely available so that anyone can download it as a map for Minecraft.
