Plus he had some clever tricks to make the build process move along smoothly. “After making one detailed building, I copied sections of it and used them for other buildings. For example, the arches visible in a lot of the larger walls are actually sections taken from the face of the clock-tower, and many arches are also derived from the base of the tower.” Great for saving time, and it makes everything fit together with his style very neatly too: win-win!

Nonetheless, some of the city’s details took a lot of care and attention. Firstly, Musical_Mystery decided that he wanted to turn all those blocks into curves and circles. “These are shapes that, when used properly, can make Minecraft look truly epic,” he explains.

But it’s not an easy task! “One curve that I'm proud of is the staircase under the bridge. It required very precise calculation and proved to be a challenge, but was very satisfying to complete."
