  • Arthur’s Crossing: Phase IV Begins

    Posted on by Sethen Comment

    I’ve been trying to get back into Minecraft lately, and I finally found my project. I realized it has been a year and a half since I built the last phase of Arthur’s Crossing, and I’m well overdue for working on the next phase.

    Phase IV (yes, the first three were numbers, now I’m using roman numerals) will consist of expanding the town into a city, and overhauling some of the older sections to have larger, denser buildings.

    I’ve started planning some things out, and put down a placeholder for where the new outer wall will be.

  • Arthur’s Crossing: Progress Starts

    Posted on by Sethen Comment

    I finally found the motivation to sit down and start building in Arthur’s Crossing. I’ve been looking at it and planning things out for over a week now, so it was about time.

    I started by expanding the tiny meetinghouse into a proper Hall.  It still needs work on the inside, but hey – its progress.

    This city is also going to look amazing with all the chimney’s having real smoke from campfires when I’m done!

  • Phase IV: Progress

    Posted on by Sethen Comment

    I’ve been hard at work the last week in Arthur’s Crossing.  I’ve overhauled the older sections of the city, adding buildings and what-not.  I laid out where the outer wall will eventually go, but haven’t built it yet.

    I tore down the old schoolhouse (it was small, and kinda ugly).  I kept the tower (added a clock) and the area became Tower Square, the center of the growing city.

    I also added a new square, school, and some religious buildings.  There’s also a neat looking greenhouse, and a large hotel.

  • Phase IV: Chimney-geddon

    Posted on by Sethen Comment

    I’ve been hard at work in Arthur’s Crossing, finishing up the cities expansion.  My plan to give every building a real smoking chimney (using a campfire) has gotten a bit out of hand.  It looks really realistic though!

    Progress has been made around the west side of the city, where I added a neighborhood of smaller buildings.  Its also the sketchy part of town, as it contains a seed tavern and a brothel half-masquerading as a hostel.

    Posted on by Sethen Comment

    I started working on Phase IV of Arthur’s Crossing back on November 10th, and I managed to complete it on Christmas Day!

    The city has really developed over time now.  This project was originally conceived back in July of 2015, and construction began in March of 2016.

    • Phase 1: Castle Pendragon – Completed 3/27/16
    • Phase 2: The Village – Completed  9/3/2017
    • Phase 3: Expand to Town – Completed 4/10/2018
    • Phase IV: Full City – Completed 12/24/19
    • Phase V: Expand Castle
    • Phase VI: Expand to Edge of Island

  • Phase V has begun!

    Posted on by Sethen Comment

    I have started working on Phase V of Arthur’s Crossing!  I figured I shouldn’t wait over a year between phases this time.

    • Phase 1: Castle Pendragon – Completed 3/27/16
    • Phase 2: The Village – Completed  9/3/2017
    • Phase 3: Expand to Town – Completed 4/10/2018
    • Phase IV: Full City – Completed 12/24/19
    • Phase V: Expand Castle
    • Phase VI: Expand to Edge of Island

    Phase V consists of expanding Castle Pendragon, adding some outer watch-towers, and I think  I’m going to build a road to the coast and construct a small port village.

    Here’s some progress pictures 🙂

  • Arthur’s Crossing: The Endgame

    Posted on by Sethen Comment

    Planning has begun for Phase VI of Arthur’s Crossing, the capital of the Frozen Land of Nador.  I started this project back in July of 2015, and have finished a phase each year since.

    The time has come to work on the final phase!  Its been over a year since I completed Phase V, and I need something to get me back into Minecraft.  This seems like a good place to start!

    For starters, I need to tear down the current outer wall and pick a design for the final, glorious, new outer wall.  Its going to go right up against the river, so the city will essentially have a frozen moat.

    I’ll have more information to post soon, as I’m still figuring out what needs to get done in what order.

    If anyone would like to follow the progress thus far, here are the links to the archives.
