It took me a few minutes to realise you were actually deleting blocks and simply reversing the footage for a cleaner build look. Very smart.

Same, never thought about doing build timelapses like that

[@LunaBoo12]

Ooooo so that's how that works!

[@connorquilter82]

He also does some really cool procedural/algorithmic program based Minecraft building which you can see him do in some of his other videos, so I wonder if some of that was used in this build too? edit: go watch his video "How I Make Self-Building Minecraft Creations". He even eludes to this build right at the end of it, so I don't think he's deleting blocks and reversing the footage here at all. Which in my opinion makes this 10x cooler!

[@SludaBuilds]

You have a good eye! This method of timelapse was inspired by Timtenth Buildings. It seemed to be the best option for this video because the actual build process was pretty messy😁

[@jr7531-f5n]

X after going outside for a sec and seeing the banner identifying them as The Gaslight Tavern: “Ok, I just went outside to double check, and I'm pretty sure this is The Gaslight Tavern.” The Gaslight Tavern: “No, sir. This is not The Gaslight Tavern. What you saw out there must surely be an advertising banner of them. You may see some of those all across the city.”

[@jr7531-f5n]

X: “Why I'm just watching you guys serve drinks on a bar over there, and people enjoying more drinks on their tables, then?” The Gaslight Tavern: “I can understand your confusion, sir. You see, we're having a family reunion in here, and everyone brought the beverages we're enjoying with them. We haven't seen each other in a long time, and we're happy to do so. If you excuse us, we would like to keep enjoying our reunion. You know the way out. Please.”

[@auroralong5437]

not so sure.. why is there a bank for example?

[@thehucklebillyfenn]

@@auroralong5437solar punk is an aesthetic and, regardless of what lefty commentator channels say, the abolition of capitalism is not a prerequisite for this style of architecture. Solar punk was not originally co-opted by leftists, it was simply an appreciation of futuristic Ghibli-esc visuals and the optimistic idea that civilization and nature can have a harmonious relationship.

[@websdaspider8811]

​@@thehucklebillyfennYES! THANK YOU!!!!! I love the style but hate that it's been adapted by idiot communists who don't understand that capitalism just needs a few tweaks, not an abolition.

[@EldritchMushroom]

@@websdaspider8811 Yeah you're right it's not really about hating capitalism, it's just against big corporations ruling everything, which is a small part of it. Solarpunk is mostly just about making peace with the environment

[@liamholmes8487]

I appreciate that your interpretation of Solarpunk involves a lot of smaller, colourful, almost low-tech builds. A lot of Solarpunk art tends to show off giant gleaming white skyscrapers, but that's not JUST what Solarpunk is about. To me, it's about low environmental impact, community-enabling spaces, and I think places like "The Delta District" show that off perfectly, and are perfectly balanced against other more innovative structures like those in "The Zenith Zone." Fantastic work!

[@SludaBuilds]

Thanks for the comment! I think those smaller scale buildings were more fun to build too

[@daniGurl2522]

I totally agree!! I hope it catches on and becomes mainstream!!

[@berrycade]

Solar punk really isn’t even about solar, environmental impact, or technological structures, it is literally just the emergent architecture and style that accompanies spaces built with a decentralized power grid and the philosophy of self-sufficiency.

[@florto24]

cyberpunk: you don´t want to be outside when its dark. Solarpunk: you wanna be outside and just chill.

[@SludaBuilds]

Thanks retrocat😎 The team of Certified Builders is growing!

[@totty2765]

This build makes me wish we lived in a world where we built structures based on how they can service a community or city as opposed to how much money they can extract from their citizens. Like “oh, yeah, we could totally build sources of electricity, water, food, and housing that could be affordable and paid for by the government via taxes.” It makes me wish for a better world and inspires me to see that happen, which I think truly makes this a work of art.

[@SavageJarJar]

Paid for by the people, actually. The government gets its money from taxes.

[@Duskypines6]

that's what solarpunk is all about, it's a vision of a brighter future, and if we work together to be more sustainable and connected then who knows, there might actually be a city like this.

[@elpatoempatado2404]

"Paid for the government via taxes," yeah... I saw a country do that. Wish things had gone well, but nope. Everything almost went straight to hell.

[@Finding_Arcadia]

@@anelbegic2780 oh yeah? Making a system hack or original content?

[@anelbegic2780]

@@Finding_Arcadia Original mostly, started out with a homebrew for DnD 5e which eventually became a "homebrew" before I just spun it off and gave it it's own lore. My current one is all original, with many copied over elemets from the spin-off, and a unique magic system that kinda feels restictive sometimes but I fon't mind that.

[@castlebravo4627]

Not even kidding, this would be the perfect place for a semi-futuristic visual novel / love story. Hell, just a simulation you can freely roam around in that's populated with NPCs would be amazing. Great Job.

[@ArtByLuckyee]

Hah, now I want to see a VR exploration of this one! And agreed. The lore would make such a fantastic base for thousands, if not millions of stories contained within and around it. Might just get inspired by that myself!

[@jr7531-f5n]

That sounds like the end of Free Guy. That was the idea of the dude and the girl that make a couple in the end at first, before Taika came in and stole their thing and turned it into that game for obnoxious trolls lol. They actually wanted the players being immersed in this bustling, evergreen futuristic solarpunk city; just chilling, roaming around and getting to know the NPC's and the complexity of their individual being which would grow with each interaction, and their interrelations with the other NPC's, the players and the surroundings.

[@kushagraagrawal3113]

Why is nobody talking about how he did the interior too? Absolutely phenomenal bro. Hats off to you.

[@iancomstock2929]

This looks amazing! It is, by far, the best solarpunk build I've seen to date! I always think, "You'd have to be super-rich or super-crazy to want to live in a solarpunk city." But this looks like a place where someone could actually live!

[@SludaBuilds]

True! I feel like a major pillar of solarpunk is the focus on individuality and that being evident in it's appearance. What area of Vesta Verde do you think you would live in?

[@iancomstock2929]

I'm not sure. Voxel Heights, maybe? Seems like the place where a lot of new families with kids would live when they first come into the city.

[@lynallott3404]

@@SludaBuilds Wouldn't necessarily say individuality so much as freedom, or like, anarchy, more being able to chart whatever sort of path or do whatever you want, than individualism. I think solarpunk is a fair chunk more collective than how we exist now, irrevocably tied with the ideas of eco-socialism and anarchism.

[@Mantaforce2]

I LOVE that you are actually including the insides of the buildings and considering the logistics and infrastructure of such a city. A lot of builds look nice on a surface level but fall apart logically when you question their designs and would be impossible to play on because the insides are missing or because things are scaled up to an impractical degree for higher "resolution" if that makes sense. To make your build about more than just superficial aesthetics is what makes TRULY great designs in my opinion. Very well done! EDIT: Okay, some of the insides may be incomplete, at least it looks like it from some of the shots like at 22:50, but great job nevertheless!

[@SludaBuilds]

Thank you sm! I'm glad people appreciate the interiors because it can be painfully time-consuming, but I agree that it adds a crucial layer to the build.

[@donotbreadthecats2261]

Yeah, this is a really cool build that looks immersive. Another logistical thing I noticed is that while it had restaurants and movie theaters, it didn’t have libraries, schools, and hospitals, which I thought were already more community-oriented.

[@tegirvaru]

absolutely phenomenal 😲. i love the lush island theme, and the beautiful city that really goes with the scenery. its like how a paradise would be without being cliche or unrealistic, the solarpunk is way better than the cyberpunk. it is obvious that you put in so much care and effort into the design and story, bringing together a fantastic masterpiece 😁

phenomenal is the exact word i was thinking while watching, funny i scroll down and the first comment agrees with my phrasing lmao

[@MinerBat]

I think Cyberpunk and solarpunk go together very well. Cyberpunk is a warning of how we can mess up the future and what we do not want. Solarpunk on the other hand shows a hopeful world that is still realistically achievable. If you put them together then they show that fundamentally it is not what technology exist that decides which one we end up with, since both visions of the future have very similar technology levels. Instead the difference is how people choose to use those technologies, who has access to them, how well the government does, etc

[@Purpleh4ze404]

It’s so funny you made this video, our Minecraft community is attempting to make a solar punk styled city so this came out at the right time

[@EldritchMushroom]

Dude, every single time you built a little cube house I was impressed because all of them are unique, it takes a lot of creativity to not accidentally make a clone of a house you already made. This is actually my favorite minecraft build

[@toastywhiteboy7822]

My main problem with Solar Punk is that normally the the buildings are white with foliage on them and d have little variety outside of shape, glad to see all different types of blocks are used for different types of buildings.

Im using Create Above and Beyond as a starter to create a world that a video game could happen in rather than "a video game world".

[@WitchKing-Of-Angmar]

@@AinetheIrish The city example in the beginning of a sad looking city is usually not how any city looks. It's extreme bias by someone who doesn't actually look up at buildings or has been to a city such as New York, Chicago, or even a new development like Miami, to see how much culture really is there when you take away to chaos, gritty life on streets, homelessness, and modern residential glass blocks that take up half the street.

[@SludaBuilds]

it's definitely an exaggeration for the sake of the video. I absolutely love cities, but it's fun to try to imagine better cities because there will never be perfect one.

[@WitchKing-Of-Angmar]

@@SludaBuilds and that's alright, people are always trying their best to improve, it turns out places like London in the 1800s became extremely polluted because people were desperate and didn't care at all about something that was important to them. The industries were definitely full of greed, but many were just accustomed to the practice. Especially chimneys, heaven forbid New York city in 1750 have chimneys the rats! Honestly, we only see these things bad today because we aren't busy enough, and have invested our practices into more angular discoveries like science and medicine more so than at the time. Though those people must have been very healthy and resilient at the time to have lived through without major illnesses, same with chimneys. Probably seemed charming at the time having all these homes puffing at night keeping the houses warm in winter. I don't exactly look at your proposed world and see anything remotely natural or friendly, everythings too large, strange, and clean with overly corporate looking materials for everything around you, glass domes encasing atriums instead being out in the open. Truly the best way to live was the towns of North America, open, well storied, beautiful homes that didn't take up too much and still remained populated, all completely sorrounded by 50,000 acres of forest and land that they have never inhabited until the next settlement/town. we also traveled the ocean by sail with zero coal production and the worst thing that entered the ocean was wood chips and tea 😉. It was remarkably normal, and I much prefer it to this tourist island.

this is by far one of the most impressive builds I've ever seen

[@JojenPaste]

This just popped up on my feed and this is freaking awesome dude. This was super cool to watch and I love the style. I really do hope you had a lot of fun being creative with this one man cause it definitely brought joy to my day. Total looking at that Patreon now even though I haven’t played Minecraft in maybe 10 years 😂

[@Grapepary]

The way you talk so casually while you've clearly put so much thought into the realism, the structure, the layout, the details, the story line and just everything makes this even crazier. This whole build is incredibly impressive ❤

[@fruitygranulizer540]

i also love how you even built it in a chronological manner in terms of the lore, it adds a lot to the video and helps make a build of this scale more digestible.

[@MIGimmy]

This is my new favorite Minecraft creation of all time. I had genuine shivers the entire time I was watching. I don't know if I can ever feel this kind of haunting wonder for something that isn't this peak. Thank you for this gracious contribution to my dopamine levels.

[@SludaBuilds]

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching:)

[@upsidedownaloe]

I'm so happy someone decided to bring this idea to life! I dream up concepts of such cities in my head every day, but I didn't even think it had a name. I'm so glad that some people understand the harmony between human beings and nature

[@ArdentCadenza]

This is amazing. You have built an intricate and gorgeous world with a detailed story for each and every area. Then give the world download for both versions, it's amazing how few people do that. You have made a work of art out of passion for a style, and it shows. It's inspiring, really.

[@alexandriahilbert]

My husband was watching this video and I was mesmerized. This is an incredible build and truly inspiring city design.

[@6pades]

over a year ago i was searching youtube to see if anyone had made a solarpunk city in minecraft, now i get this in my recommended! what a crazy build! ❤❤❤

[@ArtByLuckyee]

How do you like a video twice? This is absolutely STUNNING! I’d love to see the more in-depth build process on some parts, especially how you chose the shapes and color palettes. I especially love how you include lore and context behind the different pieces, explaining the history. You do a really great job of mixing colors, sharp and curved lines, shapes, scales, and terrain with man made structures! But while all of these are my favorites, I especially appreciate the time you take to mix *time* and *space* with old and new buildings! It makes the city seem a lot more lived in and comfortable, like it’s a place made by hands and not just an omnipresent builder, if that makes sense? It also grounds the idea in reality by providing context as to what’s where and why it’s there. Absolutely breathtaking. I could go on more about it, like the fantastic natural looking statue and the blending of actual infrastructure to make sense in the context of the build, but it would take a year to list out everything I love about this build! That effort paid off in spades, in my eyes. Absolutely gorgeous build, and a beautiful piece of *artwork.* Hopefully this comment helps boost your stuff to new viewers, too! You deserve a lot more! (Also I just wanted to mention how cool the music choices, editing, and crediting are! Definitely would have preferred to see part of the build process in full since someone mentioned how it was previewed backwards, but I’m not sure if that’s for the entire thing or not. It’d be awesome to see some behind the scenes if those don’t exist already. Plus, it looks super smooth the way you did it, so I don’t particularly mind either way!)

it made me cry in happyness keep it up bro

[@ghostcubby]

I LOVE this kind of build, building with the contours of the land and making a point of the beauty of nature.

[@sadbutprettyy]

Completely enchanted by this. Beautiful work !

[@artisticanna5275]

It looks incredible

[@RJMBricks]

Such a cool looking end result! Always have loved solar punk so this is awesome!

[@Permisolar0001]

Everything is walkable, no cars needed. I love it!

[@the_invisibleperson101]

Um, so, this is actually insane 🤯 This actually looks so amazing like wth. Never in my life have I wanted to build my own city so badly than I do rn

[@mrallen1971]

This is, hands-down, one of the most amazing builds I've ever seen. It's, by far, the most expansive!

[@_PokeLynx]

This is one of if not the most amazing minecraft build ive ever seen. You are so underrated. Subbed.

[@loganboehnlein2738]

The only thing that rubbed me wrong was the largest crane in the industrial bay. The base is so thin compared to the top that it looks to have no support and looks uneasy. However, right after that you mentioned how this one neighborhood was built by the seaside to "Get away from the sounds of the industry" which immediately immersed me so much in this area. The rest of the island is so good and i honestly cant think of a better example of solarpunk in Minecraft. You're awesome!

[@mr.tophat9178]

More SolarPunk cities please. This was great, well thought out and beautiful. Hope you do another.

[@measlyfurball37]

I was completely immersed in this world you created and was sad when the video ended. Phenomenal work. Love all the effort put not just into the build, but actually thinking through how a city progresses with districts old and new.

[@boworna7629]

I've literally never seen anybody build something like this before! Beautiful build and amazing presentation.
