Playing Minecraft as an alternative to Lego is actually the most fun that I've had in a while.

Plans for the long run

• Connect neighbouring areas by paths
• Automate as many farms as possible
• Establish a rail network
• Start new bases around other themes
• Make use of ticking areas
• what else?

Random ideas for bases in Minecraft

• Homestuck
• 金沢
• Funeralopolis
• Ghestletree & the Inner Circle
• Steampunk
• Deutschland
• Scandinavia
• what else?

Homestuck

• Play with a Homestuck themed skin
• Things to build: Derse and/or Prospit; John Egbert's neighbourhood
• Focus on building a very exploitable village
• Other media to reference: Off; Undertale; Petscop; Omori

金沢

• I can imagine a huge network of bases and villages when it comes to the idea of having a Kanazawa-themed base. There should be rail connections everywhere; a lot cherry trees; and plenty of references to pop culture.
• There should be a big one called "Itabashi". There would be a lot of large factories automating the production of all kinds of items. Here, I should build upwards as much as possible. There should be a cat café somewhere here for sure.
• And near it there should be one called either "Ishikawa", "Kanazawa" or maybe "Korimbo" with a large castle and garden in the middle surrounded by a train station; a temple; my home; shops for hand-made goods; a mine; museums; etc.
• If we ever move to Japan, there should be another base that is based on our neighbourhood as well.

Practical notes:

• Where could it be? Far away from everything? South of Minami?

Pop culture references:

• ビデオゲーム
  • ポケットモンスター
  • ねこあつめ
  • ボカロイド
    • 初音ミク、重音テト
• アニメ
  • エヴァンゲリオン
    • End of Evangelion
    • 第３新東京
  • アキラ
  • ウテナ
  • ひぐらしのなく頃に
• ゆるキャラ
  • 招き猫
  • サンリオ
  • ひゃくまんさん、さかなざわさちこ
• 他
  • Maximum the Hormone、ボリス

Skins that I could use for this:

• Alucard from Hellsing || Rei from Evangelion

Funeralopolis

• Heavy metal/Gothic base, lava everywhere, probably in a ravine, very polluted
• Focus on exploiting glitches and automating farms
• Horror elements? Playing at night only?
• Maybe based on London?
  • In that case, maybe build it near Fairview? In that case, it could be around the village to the east
• Musical references:
  • Iron Maiden?
  • Black metal?
  • House of the Rising Sun?
  • Windmill in the sky?
  • Gojira? ("Flying Whales", "Toxic Garbage Island")
• Other pop culture references:
  • Videogames: Doom; Boatmurdered
  • Movies?
  • Books?

Skins that I could use for this:

• Ghost || Alucard
• Uniqlo Enderman || Uniqlo Creeper
• which one from Adventure Time? Either Death or Marceline
• vikings?

Ghestletree

• Based on some online stories:
  • Ghestletree
  • Inner Circle
  • Wall of Questioning
• Probably a tribute to the weird internet
• Other references to pull:
  • ENA {I don't like it but still fits this vibe}

Steampunk

• Use a Steampunk resource pack
• Build with copper
• Focus on automating as many processes as possible without redstone (or at least make them very easy to be done by hand)
• A lot of rail as well if possible

Skins to use:

• Personal Steampunk skin pack
• what else?

Deutschland

Ich weiß nicht, was ich hier machen kann.

Scandinavia

• Basically moomins

Ticking areas

Thoughts around ticking areas

• I wish I had known about this before! This completely changes the way that I look at cities in my Minecraft world. Aside from being just an area to be developed, now I am thinking about areas of 10x10 chunks that I should make the most out of in terms of automation.
• Minami 2 isn't necessary right now because I'm still not using all of Minami's ticking area right now
• With the exception of Minami 1, I should deactivate ticking areas that I'm not using.
• Nonetheless I should avoid optimising the fun out of Minecraft with it

Ideas for future areas

• Colônia?
• Fairview?
• area on top of a village?
  • Minas?
  • Mipu?
  • somewhere else?
• another area near Minami?
  • Minami 2?
  • Can Town?
  • Clarence B?
  • Pocket Camp?
