I have a bit of news for you that many of your readers should love: people can now easily make 3D printouts of their Minecraft models. I wrote a free, open-source program called Mineways that helps them, the website (with photos of some results) is here. The key thing is: you don't need a 3D printer, you can easily upload your model to a 3D print firm. It's also surprisingly cheap for smaller models, e.g. $7.50 for a 2-inch-tall piece of pixel art. For more examples of models that have been printed, see the Flickr pool.

Large models can be expensive, but the pixel-art makers in particular should find their creations affordable. For example, I grabbed the model from this site and put it up for sale here (at no profit to me - this was just an experiment). It's easy to do, especially for pixel art (which has no weird geometry problems, usually), just see the tutorials on my site.

Anyway, of all the Minecrafters out there, I think people making schematics have both the strong interest and knowledge & skills to best take advantage of 3D printing.

Let me know if you have any questions, and I hope you can pass on the word. I'm not making any money on this project, it's just a fun thing to do (just like Minecraft).

This is a very small castle, basically a keep. It has all the basic needs a player needs and looks nice at the same time.
Size wise its 45x45x52 and easily defended.

Please let me know what you think.

Nb. I forgot the castle has 2 secret treasures included in it.

This is a city of huge proportions and is the biggest we have every build me and 1 other frind have worked on it for  about a month now and we are just letting everyone know it will be ready soon hopefully. we still have the walls to do and the throne room banquet hall and barracks. We are hoping to get this finished as soon as we can in the meantime the vid below is it so far... sorry if the video is bad quality it was done on my laptop...

Here is the project I proposed to my team for Minecraft Speed ​​Build Competition (Insomnia)
For 3 days, maximum 6 players are active in an area of 250 x 250 blocks, flat ground grass to 64 blocks high. It was from 3rd to 6th February 2012.

The team has opted to make a castle abandoned
yet I believe we had a chance to finish in the top 5 with this project.
At the same time, with the refusal, this allow me to offer it here for your enjoyment.

Schematic file size is 250 * 250 and 50 high.
I put sand on the ground, but it was easily editable in another item.
May it please you.

this is something ive been working on for a while now its in two parts this being the second and the container yard being the first.

its a large schematic  192 W x  293 L x 57 H

Castle is now completed, after 3 months of work, dying 57 times and lots of frustrations the joy of calling it done has arrived.

Counting only items used above 1000 and not counting dirt(used for filling up walls and terrain) and stone, the castle used up 100 000 items/blocks.

279 x 163 x 74 castle dimensions.

It started as a rough idea and grew from there. Mcedit was used 3 times to transfer it to different maps, but other than that no mods or spawning of items was used. Build was done in survival mode.

The castle is very defensive oriented and works as such: There is 3 outer areas followed by the inner killing area, then the palace walls, then the palace courtyard(killing area) followed lastly by the pallace itself.

Update:

So I have come to the final stage of the release.

All decks are complete

Just to finish off the tanktop deck, which is the deck with the boilers and engines.
Relocate the windows and then one last run through on signs for main rooms and stair well directions.

She looks amazing.


Major work on texture modification, found a titanic with a good idea and thought i could play with it a bit.
the grand stair case was redone with a similar floor texturing used on the actual ship.
Also got carpet on the elevators, so it all ties together.

Let me know wat you think.

PLAYABLE 64 BLOCK TALL VERSION FURTHER DOWN
This is the second and largest project of my "Castlecraft" installment that I have ben working on since June. Its 13.2 million blocks of epicness, exterior is finished, but still 70% empty on the inside, and I have no time to work on it anylonger. I might finish it in the future, who knows.

Anyways, it started with an idea to build an epic castle with alot of details, but my mind was drawing a blank. Then I saw a picture of the beautiful Schloss Marienburg, a Gothic revival castle in Lower Saxony, Germany (Thanks Wikipedia! lol). It has alot of details, so it was perfect.

I realised early on that its gona be in a large scale so I can get all the details and circles right.

Mod Edit - Awarded the Captain's award  for an ship (water) schematic of excellence

alright guys, this is one of my favourite things at my amusement park, its big and pretty and better more... alot of fun. i designed it myself, so u will not see it anywhere but here first. was inspired by minecraftpg5 and mariokart. consist of redstone repeaters a button signs dispencers water and of course normal blocks, the button activates the lights to start the race., although some of the repeaters are missing... accidental world edit griefing by me. oops.  can be tweaked or added to very easily. dispencers can be filled with items such as cobwebs and leaves for boosters.. comfortable sits 3 for a race but can handle up to 6 i would think. combined with boat plugins to make it more efficient.. works both smp and ssp. leave comments/suggestions below and enjoy,,, thanks.  &n

Hello guys and gals,

First of all; i want to thabk WEEGRo for his great trees, thanks!

And second, here's my newest project featuring a massive sci-fi auditorium!
I am still trying to recover my older projects, so please have patience, but back on this one..

This is an science fiction auditorium made completely by using Mcedit.
the building time of it was approximately 8 hours.

The current size is 170 x 170 x117, I did not use any 3-d moddeling or so.

for a wider set of pictures!

Thanks for watching! =)

P.S

because i love you lads so much, i made mountainy surrounding so you can make the build blend in with your w

Welcome to my World of Warcraft 1:1 project

This project, as the name suggests will see my and my brothers recreate the world of Azeroth in it's fully 1:1 blocky glory. This thread will be a work in progress for quite some time. As if you haven't noticed, Azeroth is rather big.

The zones I wish to recreate are all of the vanilla wow locations, most Cataclysm places as well. And I'm even thinking of doing some or if not all of the Outlands.

Northerand is a no, it is simply too impossible to do. Since the lowest part of Northerand, to the highest peak. Is around 40,000 blocks high. I've done many calculations and have come to the conclusion that recreating Azeroth and Outland is definitely possible. Though it wo

An ancient Greco-Roman theater not based on a particular theater, and takes elements from both ancient greek and roman theater designs.
Contains a skene and proskenium, orchestra, thymele and theatron.  (You can read about all these parts of the theater here, if you are so inclined.)

It can be placed as a free-standing structure if you want a more Roman style, or embedded into a hill for a more Greek style. 

Due to my Pokemon sprites taking over the front page of this section, I've decided to create one last thread that will contain every Pokemon sprite I have created in the past, and will contain any future pokemon I make.

The list of every pokemon in this thread in the order they were added.

Hallo guys,

here a naturally looking hidden entrace (I'm actually pretty proud of :)), featuring:
- a hidden door like seen in the piston trailer (1. blocks slide backwatrs, then disappearing to the sides)
- a waterfall covering the entrance (will stop when door opens)
- a rising way across the lake (water will remain still after disappearing!)
(PS: of course the big redstone circuit in the background isn't part of it ;))
Hope you can enjoy it!

I haven't released much recently, but I have still been busy, so I thought it was about time to give another teaser schematic for my Tatsuyama project, more details in my signature.

Been working on this one steadily over a couple of days now, and it's pretty unique looking.

It is a large round theater with an art gallery tagged onto the back.

Comments appreciated as always.

Make sure you import the 3 underground layers too, they are used for art gallery lighting.

Hi all,


Here's MHS number seven. I thought there are more open posts in my town so far as inhabitants . So I made an appartment complex. Well, 'condominium sounds better together with 'vivaldi'.


It's called Vivaldi condominium because I was listening to vivaldi's '4 seasons' while planning my build. That for the 'automn-like' colors too.


43 appartments of various sizes on 5 storys. 10 hours alone to light them all decently..


It may not look like, but it's the most complex structure

Well a spaceport i made just a while ago, as a break for studying..
it's going to be the project after perestrojka but i dont know that yet.
The spaceport is unfurnished and the outer towers are not hollow, if i'd more time, i'd be furnishing.
Anyhow expect a furnished version in a day or 2

Hi all,

A new modern house series release. This time it's a church. My very first one actually. It's released in the same series as all others will be as it is a town building.

I wasn't inspired by anything particular for this one. It was first made out of bricks but I needed half blocks and there ain't any made of bricks.. So I changed it into a sandstone church.

This time I even added vegetation, it looks better like that.

The interiors are a mix of modern design with art features like always. The exterior aspect has modern architecture features mixed with gothic and victorian architecture.

The name was chosen until all finished. I thought it somehow looks like half the part of a colosseum.. at least for me.

Hola,


4th of the series, also the tallest one. That's why it's been posted in 'skyscrapers'.


Sooo, I said next time there will be more colors involved, here it is. I was first going to make a much smaller house but the cubes decided otherwise.. I know the design is not easy for everyones eyes but I'm trying out really various designs actually in that series.


As usually, trees were not added in order to make pics. But it will look alot nicer with them once in your world.


Finally, why 'Le Petit Monde

Hey everyone,

So basically I saw someone made the training place for Spartacus Gods of the Arena/Blood and Sand so I felt like making something that distantly resembled the arena shown in it.

I will put up pictures if I manage, if else, if somebody who downloads this possibly can that would be great.

Thanks,
