Ataraxian Wist Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 My brother and I want to create Roshar in Minecraft, but we need a little help in the following areas: 1. Topographical Map: M will be using a world editor to do the heavy lifting, so we won't be building the landscape block by block. In order to do this, he needs a topographical map of Roshar. I don't really have the skills to make this myself, so help would be much appreciated. 2. Structures: Once the world is painted, we will need a sizable team of Minecraft players to actually build the structures found throughout Roshar. These will include the warcamps, cities like Kholinar, Urithiru, and Kharbranth, and even ships in port. Some of the building work will just be designing generic houses to copy with World Painter, and some will just be massive building projects. To do this ourselves would take years, so help would be MUCH appreciated. The world download will be made available to all volunteers when completed, and probably to others, though not through this site. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of Iron Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 I could help maybe a few times with building... though I'm not great at building. And I don't have the most time in the world. But I have always wanted to see this done, and I am a perfectionist so any builds I do won't be bad, though I might spend in inordinate amount of time on them--or not, as I have mentioned. Basically I would love to help but not be depended upon, if that makes sense? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frustration Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 this might help Spoiler Ben McSweeney Stuff like this [Minecraft Urithiru] is why I wanted to draw orthographic views of the tower-city. The dimensions on Shallan's page are rough, but they will line up. Each tier has approximately 18 floors, each floor is roughly 15' (interior ceilings vary from 8' to 14' unless they're incorporating the next floor). Total tower height is just over 2700' General Reddit 2020 (May 28, 2020) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't it be more convenient to do it as Realms or other kind of server? If people download the world and build individually, how do you plan to merge their creations? I guess Worldpainter can do it, but what if two people try to build the same city? Also, please, please do the End (or Nether) into Shadesmar! If it's Java, I could help with building, depending on how often my MC will crash (it does that a lot), I'm not great at it, but not terrible either + I know the setting reasonably well (= read the books about 3 times and know how to use the wiki) + I know how fortifications work (= watch Shadiversity a lot). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be a server, sorry for the unclarity. I meant that the world will also be downloadable by contributors once it's COMPLETE. However, we can't put the world onto our server until we paint the landscape, which will require that topographical map. So, yeah. Once we have that part, I'll DM the IP to all of you who want to help build, but that's step 2. Also, that is an excellent idea about Shadesmar. Also also actually actually, MACHICOLAAAAAATIOOOOOONNNNSS! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quivil Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 Average height of a human is about 6 feet. Each Minecraft block is 1/2 human tall, or about three feet. So for each 15' floor you only need it 5 blocks tall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eri Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 With the recent resourcepack with the temporarily revoked new mapgen (src), it turns out that changing the world height limit with a resourcepack is possible. And I think it could go beyond the current max, only the mapgen would not build there. So with a resourcepack we could make fit Urithiru in the world. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AonEne Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 Took interest in this a while back but wasn't sure about free time; as we get into summer over here I think I could help out. I'm not much of a builder but I could do some generic buildings, and maybe some stuff in cities to make them more than only a bunch of buildings. Edit: I have also moved the thread to the fanworks forum, as it is a Sanderson fan creation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
