Uar's Planning And Construction

[Uaronain]

Hello everyone I am Uaronain but my friends simply refer to me as Uar. I am new to massivecraft but not as green when it comes to minecraft in general. My favorite aspect of the game is building structures that fit specific themes. The great thing about minecratf is that it is a giant sandbox game and it really is what you make it to be for yourself. And for me it is a lot like Simcity meets DayZ. I know that may seem odd but I like to make villages and towns and give them history, lore and life strictly in survival mode without walls that tower so high as to reach the clouds. I do not think that every village and rustic hamlet would be encased in a giant and mostly ugly 80 block tall cobble wall.

The images you see below are from a minecraft realms server my friend runs and everything you see I built myself, in survival and it took about a month. Now Solace is not finished but it is my first project where I cut my teeth and developed my own style. You will notice that it has no walls. It has a man made stream that surrounds most of it with giant oak trees on both sides that smack more of a tree grove than the great wall of China. It has small bridges that allows people to cross it to get to other parts of the settlement such as the Tomb of the local hero "The Lion of Solace", the shrine to the local goddess "The Desert Rose" and another bridge that leads to the south part of the village with the docks, warehouses and the industrial and commercial part of the village.

There is a stables, Inn, Smithy, Library with built in greenhouse, many smaller homes and some not so small. As well as a large town hall structure, fountain, warehouses for trade and industry that are lore specif to the village and links to other villages made by friends.


Solace was built in a desert so I wanted to make great use of sandstone in most of the buildings as well as wood. (Oak and Spruce) The location of the site was where I found a small NPC village that had 2 small huts, a librarian house and a small field. From there I built Solace.

Lore wise the Rose and Lion are symbolic to the village so many of the decorations are of those. Giant Lion statues greet you when you enter the village from the north and smaller sitting Lion statues are used in the Tombs.

My current project is also my first one on massivecraft. I built it into the sides of some giant savanna hills in a small valley. From the front you can clearly see all 3 levels. The rear entry way is on the second floor actually and another sign that the Inn really is bigger than it appears. I had it framed and roofed my first day on server here at massivecraft without help or materials from anyone. By the second day the outside was complete (mostly) and I was killed for the first time by someone from the Blue Knights or Mithril. I lost all my saplings, wood and tools!

This made me adjust how I play and construction has slown down as I grind skill levels and acquire materials once again. All in all the server is a load of fun even when a bunch of people are trying to axe you in the face when all you want to do is build. Anyways this is still my first week on server. (none of this includes the f/home building I made for Tal Taiure on my first day either!)

The size of the 3rd floor guest rooms, pardon the Spartan furnishings I wanted to show relative size. And once again remember no detail work has been done on the inside.

Some info on the Inn:
1. It took 8 claim chunks to protect the Inn in construction from griefers and people who would hack through my roof to murder me while I was working alone.
2. It has 6 guest rooms currently each with a private balcony
3. It offers Kitchen, Dining, a large Lounge with office space.
4. Currently 4 rooms that act as quarters for servants or workers
5. A large corner wrap bar
4. Performance stage for plays or musicians
5. Very large mushroom cellar and fields

Is this to show off builds or to hire out your services to people? I really like your builds!

 

[Uaronain]

The thread is to show off what I have built and to offer my services out at the same time Erebos

 

[_Erebos_]

There is a build show off sub-forum thing. You might want this moved there if you are not selling your services on this thread.

That is my main issue, I want my work to be seen and offer my services without creating 2 separate threads that will have the same stuff inside of them.

Also thank you for the kind words and I am glad you like my builds, many are inspired from what I have seen others do and if you click on the minecraftforums.net link you will see where I have given credit to various people for different designs that I base mine off of.

Ok. How much do you charge per statue then? @Uaronain

 

[GrunklePeter]

@Uaronain dwarven stAtues, how good are you? :3

 

[Sarge_Peppers]

Ackbar Co can sell bulk resources at cheap prices perhaps a partnership could be worked out.

 

[Uaronain]

@_Erebos_ I would imagine that the price would depend on a few factors such as size, materials needed, complexity of the project, ease of access to the site as well as other factors. In short it would be something that would have to be negotiated on a case by case basis.

@Peter Harsk I have never done one myself but I have seen several examples that were wonderful. To be clear a dwarven statue to me would be of a Dwarf warrior, beard, a weapon of some kind either standing, sitting lunging for it's pose. If that is the case I believe I would be able to make one.

@Sarge_Peppers I am thankful for the offer and will get in contact with you as time permits.

I may hit you up in game to maybe do it. Thankyou!

 

[GrunklePeter]

@Uaronain alright! Thanks.

@Blakewerewolf98 what do you think?

 

[DipliPsychi]

@Peter Harsk Aye. I like it.
