Last year I posted Salthaven. A set of crowded, unstable looking, steampunky towers. The towers are now the centerpiece of a new city, build on and living of the sea. I tried to make the city feel detailed and alive. It build in layers stacked on top of eachother towards the center, with the wealthier citizens living on top and the poor in the small allies beneath them, just above the water level. Salthaven is made to be self-reliant, but is also a central point for traders and travelers.


The project's not finished. Approximately half of the buildings have interiors. Most of the outside-work is done. You can download the world file and explore for yourself. I recommend playing with a resource pack like John Smith, Conquest or Halcyon days. SEUS shaders make everythingmore beautiful too! I've played very little minecraft over the past year and probably won't update the project much myself. I'd love to hear it if you use this build somewhere, or make some additions yourself. Let me know what you think!
