What if i want the people in my city to get hit by bikes while they are walking?

[@mlicmrtlorechannel1110]

Just say "black friday market this way" in the direction of the bike lanes. Easy!

[@ProvenScroll]

Pedestrians would go on the side walk, and on intersections bike traffic lights could be installed (yes those exist)

[@-BigChungus]

lol I added something like that in my city, I added a car crash and had like cop npcs by the scene and stuff. I also added “red stone” everywhere

[@FITI-GUE]

Ayyy ima walkin hera

[@lilia3944]

If you want to be really realistic, gradually remove all the bikelanes while telling your citizens that you'll make the city more acessible by bike.

[@tyhuey1784]

Love how much humor and how much info is packed into these vids

[@mamboflux9206]

Brilliant I've just started my first city and a can't believe I already had a few of these ideas all my by myself🤣 but a whole load more I didn't think of! Thanks!!!

[@definitelymdt]

I think the most important one to make it full of life is adding trees. It's like magic, it feels awesome, adding trees will change everything.

I just want you to know just how much this channel inspires me. As someone who's not that good at building in Minecraft and only can play Minecraft on PE, this channel has given me that extra boost I need to move closer to my dream of building a city in Minecraft. Also, you don't have to but can you make a video on how you don't get overwhelmed with all the ideas and such? Thank you and keep up the good job!

[@Alpine1]

I’m so glad to hear that! I started playing Minecraft on pocket edition back in 2012 because I didn’t have a computer, I know it’s tough but it’s still a lot of fun! I might make a video about how I actually organize city planning, but it’s mostly just drawings of road & transit plans, different areas with different styles and a big long list of buildings that I want to make

[@embaasn]

Alpine can you do a video on how to build diagonally. Apartments are roads. How to get into the diagonal headspace. It would help a ton!

[@simonlivesey8735]

My city is on super flat…

[@tpl_dawiddsw2]

Mine too

[@prompiriya-phophun]

If you have worldedit, try shifting the ground so that it looks like there's a landscape.

[@addison199]

You can use commands or world edit to adjust

[@Gabriel_Faw]

Hahaha.... i make this differrnt!

[@maziedeguzman]

​@@prompiriya-phophun how do I get world edit?

[@embaasn]

Can you do a video on how not to get overwhelmed when building and how to find inspiration for builds, it would help a ton.

[@uriel_in]

WOOOOW! According to the likes of this video at now (06/30/2021), it has an acceptance of "99.9974%", I have never seen something like this. CONGRATULATIONS!!!

[@Alpine1]

Haha thanks!

[@shammaah411]

Hey Matt, your vids appeared in my recommended one day and i cant stop watching them. So pretty, so inspirational and informative. However, i noticed you use a resource pack most of the time, and i'd be interested in how this build project would look in vanilla mc

[@ramsey6227]

I had a pretty huge city I worked on for many months, but the files were accidentally deleted when I did a hard reset on my PC. But now I realize how much more I could've done for realism, like elevation changes. Thanks for inspiring me to start again!

[@LangleyNA]

R&R, I hope you were able to continue your inspiration with a new Minecraft project. Er'body knows how it feels to lose something we've worked lots of time and energy into. Best wishes, R&R Studios. :)

[@LukewarmFoxxo]

I had started on a really promising city, but due to the fact that I was using a non-Vanilla world generator and copying the world over and over, Vanilla world generation ruined a lot of the city. I've since started a new one, and used Worldedit's schematic system to import the surviving parts of the city to the new one. By far not as bad as your situation, but I was still rather frustrated.

[@TimDownsAnimation]

This isn't just good architect/minecraft design advice-- it's good level design! Namely in non-combat/gameplay-centric areas like hub cities or open-world sprawls. The kind of places you want to EXPLORE without feeling like you're going on a tour or just thrown into some giant mess. Mobility, visibility, details, tone, etc. is all covered in these tips you give in some way or another. Truly INSPIRING! My buddies are gonna end up seeing me try to build weirdly realistic multi-story buildings in our server now lol

It's cool to see Ottawa/Gatineau in this video, been there before and recognized the waterfront spot with the boats!

[@davidoliver7510]

Vertical slabs sideways stairs and combinable slabs would really help add additional details to any city. Ancient old and modern. Even futuristic.

[@jeus2528]

Vertical slabs are in cubed pack!! Combinable slabs are also sometimes possible in vanilla, but most of what you said is usually in easily accessible mods or texture packs.

[@jamesfuller8876]

Great video, your city looks absolutely stunning, great job. My biggest tip for people starting a minecraft city aside from elevation changes like you mentioned would be including lots of curves and irregularities in your road network. Obviously plan your road network well so that it suits your cityscape, but stay away from a flat 1 plane layout with roads all laid out in grids, thats how 90% of people starting out make their cities and it doesnt have much character. Have bends, overpasses, tunnels, cul-de-sac's etc. Asymmetric road networks are more interesting and realistic in my opinion :)

[@BenTheMiner]

Just found this channel through recommendations; this is a great channel! Incorporating Minecraft and architecture, your videos are both enjoyable and educational. Thank you for making these helpful videos!

[@brooke6472]

Your content is really helpful, thank you!

I adore this channel so much. Every video inspires me to build more and build cooler stuff with all the things I learn in them. Keep up the great work!

[@terecthetec756]

Alpine, your videos are amazing, and im certain you'll become pretty established youtuber soon enough if you keep making high quality videos. Do you plan on making building series or mostly sticking to tutorials/showcases? any case, you have a bright future ahead of you

[@alyssa09485]

[@Louis-qr8cf]

Hey Alpine, as a urban planner, what you prefer, a wide road for cars or a wide "pedestrian and bicycle friendly" Road but narrow cars way. Because is actually a new trend on Europe to do like "diet private vehicle" So they reshape their road and city like that.

[@lessylessy]

Although not the style of city I am building, this is mad helpful. I don't live in the city but I am thinking of going to one to take some reference photos, my plan is to build a walkable city where I use Villager mechanics to make it seem populated, this is also so I don't build another boring trading hall.

[@butterflyexists]

actually that didnt happen to me but i am going to continue watching the video anyway because it will be useful

You said in one of your videos, "have lots of detail in an 8 chunk render distance" ... is that about how big one "downtown city block" should be? 128 dirt blocks? Or how big do you think both city and suburban blocks should generally turn out to be? Or does it not matter because they are all going to be different ... or maybe I should ask how wide the buildings need to be, and about how many I should have in one city block?? Thank you. =)
