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.

 

Castle features in 7 major areas are:

1) Bussines area ( 8 shops, hotel, restaurant, mill, blacksmith, monument, gaurd office)

2.a)Farming area (sheep, chickens, cows, pigs, sugarcane, wheat, pumpkins, watermelons, nether gate,office)

    b)Barracks ( archery, obstacle course, blacksmith, dinning floor, sleeping floor)

3)Housing area (8 houses, park, public pool)

4.a) Killing zone

  .b) Church area( church, royal tombs)

5)Palace area (Royal courtyard/garden, throne room, dinning room, 2 gallerys, 3 guest rooms, 3 advisor rooms, roof garden, family room, conference room, main bedroom, study, small library, treasury, guard room, servants room, private pool, 3 viewing sections)

6)Sub section area  (storeroom, mushroom farm, kitchen, arena, harbour, creative area)

7)Towers/walls/gates ( 14 towers, 3 gatehouses, new "shoot down on enemy" system)


Furniture decoration skills is not the best, so please excuse me there.

NB: Please note the following1 important things when placing the castle.

1) Castles rear side must face the upcoming sun/moon side otherwise the netherbrick steps wil be corrupted(mcedit bug)

2) Also at rear of castle at the entrance to the harbour a line of dirt has been placed wich must be 1 block under water. Dirt blocks can then be removed.

I really tried my best with the making of the schematic. Hope its ok.

Outstanding!

How does it feel to have it done?

Thank you very much. Its a very big relief. The size of it was getting me down.

Oh my god! I'm speechless..

I have no words for how awesome this is! I wish i could steal your brain for some hours to improve my own creativity when it comes to building.

Diamonds!! 

Ha ha, there is not much to steal as its all used up on the castle. Found a nice site for a new place,but my mind is a blank.

This done in survival? wow... you have a lot of time on your hands...

Wow very nice! I think the texture pack makes it.  I like this more than other castles I see because it has more than just a keep.  Haha keep up the good work! 

definitely worth a download just for amount of work you put into it! Very nice :D

This is weird.... every message says it is great, but i get a 2.5 schematic rating ?  Can someone tel me what is wrong please?

Don't you mean 4 star rating? :D
