Getting Started with the Big Apple
So, I got this idea, right? Build New York in Infinity Craft. Sounded cool. First thing, I needed a ton of basic stuff. Stone, wood, you know the drill. Spent ages just mining and chopping, getting a huge pile ready. Didn’t really plan it out on paper, just kinda had the rough idea in my head. Figured I’d start and see where it goes.
Laying Down the Streets (Sort Of)
Okay, resources sorted. Time to build. I started by clearing a massive flat area. Like, really big. Then I tried laying out a grid. Didn’t have to be perfect, just something that felt like city blocks. Used darker stone for roads, lighter stone for sidewalks. It was slow work, placing block after block. Kept running back for more stone too.
Skyscrapers… Kinda Tall Buildings
New York needs tall buildings, obviously. So I started stacking blocks upwards. Lots of stacking. Didn’t try to copy specific buildings exactly, more like getting the general ‘feel’ of skyscrapers. Used different coloured blocks, glass panes for windows (well, the Infinity Craft version of glass). Made some taller than others. It started looking a bit like a skyline, which was neat.
- Stacked grey blocks for concrete feel.
- Added glass blocks for windows.
- Tried varying the heights a lot.
- Built them close together, like in a real city.
Adding Some New York Flavor
A city isn’t just buildings. I wanted some details. So, I used yellow blocks, placed them on the ‘roads’ – my attempt at yellow cabs. Looked kinda funny but you get the idea. Then I cleared a big rectangular area in the middle and filled it with green blocks and tree blocks. That was my Central Park. Simple, but it broke up the grey.
How It Ended Up
So, after hours and hours, I had my own little blocky New York. Is it an exact replica? No way. Not even close. But it has tall buildings, roads, a park thingy, yellow dots for cabs. It feels kinda like a cartoon version of the city. It took forever, used up so many resources, but standing back and looking at it? Pretty satisfying. Just a fun project, messing around with blocks. That’s the point, right?
