City of Wardolf

A Minecraft city about two years in the making that grows every day. Come with me as I show you all the finished buildings, and those still under construction.

Well since there are 23 of you left...

I stopped adding to this tumblr because I got a new computer, and did not know (and still don’t) it there would have been a way to access this map. It’s been a while, and I have gotten back into Minecraft, and decided to build a new city from scratch.

My favorite part about Wardolf is that it was just me, with no cheats or world edits, trying to make the most detailed city possible. While I have now discovered a few commands, /clone being my favorite, I want to keep the simplicity while also building on a much grander scale. I have a portion of this new city completed, and plan on making some posts about it soon.

No mods, no world edit, no texture packs, and no advanced knowledge of computers.  Just one guy, a game, and his free time.  I think that is pretty impressive.  More to come!

This is one of the many apartment building throughout the city.  This one is one of the smaller ones, only containing three two floor units.  They are all about the same size on the inside, however, the unit to the far right has the largest up-stairs space with four bedrooms.  Just like all the other buildings in the city, all the apartments are fully furnished, and I like to try and make every one have it's own style.  Of course this building is older, so it still uses torches for lighting, like many other buildings throughout the city.  More to come!

The road pictured above both from an areal view, and from ground level, used to be the border of East and West Wardolf.  The street is called, Wells Rd.  Before I had built anything on the west side of the river, what is now Lower East Wardolf was just East Wardolf.  What is now known as Upper East Wardolf, or the section with most of the tall buildings was West Wardolf.  Only when I began to develop on the other side of the river did I decide to make that a border, and combine what was then East and West Wardolf into one.  More to come!

This is the old Wardolf Government Services Building.  I say old because today I just completed the new one right next to the new hospital.  I will feature it in an upcoming post.  This was the first building in the city with a type of quirky, modern architecture, and I am still debating if I will tear it down or not, however that decision will not come until I am finished with the projects I already have.  More to come!

This is the newest tall building in the city.  It is located on Hall Ave. directly across from the City Hall.  Like the building it sits next to, it is a multi-purpose building.  I contains everything from a doctor's office, a bar and grill, a bank, a daycare, and a night club.  I think it makes a great addition to the skyline of East Wardolf.  More to come!

This is one of the first apartment buildings ever built in the city, and the first ever building to have a basement.  The brick and stone building contains three apartments, one on each floor, including the basement.  It reminds me of the type of buildings you would see in the suburbs around New York City.  I really like the look of it, but would like to make the road wider, which would mean either taking this building down, or the hotel across the street. As of now, I am leaving everything alone.  More to come!

Today, I decided to tear down a building that I knew was never going to get finished.  I didn't even know what I would have put in it if it was finished.  It was just an eye sore on the city.  I have no plans to even think about what to put in it's place until I finish up all the other construction projects that I have in the city.  More to come!

Did you know that every street in bot East and West Wardolf is named?  At every intersection you can find a street sign.  I've recently begun to replace all the old signs, a simple fence post with signs pointing in the direction of their respective streets, to larger ones that extend out over the streets and are lighted.  I already had a lot of East Wardolf built before I decided to incorporate street names, and it makes the place feel more real.  The longest road is Wells Rd., and the shortest is East Wardolf Blvd.  More to come!

Build right on the bank of the river on Pear Blossom St. is the first theater of any kind to be completed in Wardolf.  It is Gordon's Movie Theater.  Just like the city it's self and many other places through out it, I am not sure how I came up with the name.  It just kind of came to me.  At thee time it seemed to be huge, but now with the two newer theaters, plus the large underground on featured earlier, and a new one under construction now, it is very small, but it is a Wardolf original.

Today as I went around the city trying to work a little on each of the projects I currently have going, I decided to take a few pictures of East Wardolf.  The areal photo shows just about the whole of East Wardolf, and is not rendered all the way because I got tired of waiting.  I went around the city trying to find a few good vantage points.  As soon as I get enough time I will do another post dedicated to a specific building.  More to come!

So I haven't gotten around to posting anything lately because I am trying hard to complete all the numerous construction projects I have going on around the city.  I am in the process of constructing a new Government Services Building on White Water St. in East Wardolf, I also have a hotel in East Wardolf that has been sitting unfinished for more than six months now.  I have two unfinished buildings right on Wardolf Blvd. that I need to complete, and that is just in East Wardolf.  In West Wardolf I am in the middle of constructing a new mall, and a new apartment building.  However, while I was checking to see if some saplings that I planted had grown into trees yet, I snapped this picture of East Wardolf from the bridge I recently finished.  More to come!

This is one of the newest buildings in the entire city.  Until this building was constructed, there was only the hospital in West Wardolf, and a small medical center in East Wardolf.  The East Wardolf Memorial Medical Center is bigger than both, combined.  It features an O.R., and I.C.U. and Emergency Room, a Pharmacy, and many patient rooms.  Navigating within the the building is quite simple.  If you are in the East Tower (the left one in the picture), you take the floor you are on or want to go to and add an E in front of it.  So If you want to be on the fifth floor in the east tower, follow the signs to E-3.  The same goes for the West Tower (the right one in the picture), but you add a "W".  If you are in the space in between the two towers, you add a C for Center.  That easy.  Room numbers are also numbered accordingly.  First with a W, E, or C, then the floor number, then the room number.  So if you are in the second room on the fourth floor in the West Tower, you are in room, W402.  Finally the city has a Hospital that is large enough for everyone. More to come!

These are the after photos of the construction project that I have referenced in the last two posts.  The bridge is all new, and now more to the north.  Wells Rd. is wider in section in both West and East Wardolf, and on the bridge that connect the two.  The intersection in East Wardolf right before the bridge is much less confusing, and an empty building has been torn down.  Overall, I am very happy with the outcome, and can't wait to get back to my current construction projects throughout the city.  More to come!

[cityofwardolf]

These are some before and during pictures of the construction project that I talked about in my last post.  You can see the old bridge in some of the photos, its the one to the far left in the picture that you can see three bridges in.  Also, the confusing intersection in one of the during photos.  I also took some shots of the river with no bridge at all.  This bridge is probably the most important because it goes into main areas in both sides of the city, and there is no height limit like on the Hall Ave. bridge.  I knew that the new bridge would have to be the same way.  I will post after pictures in a bit.  More to come!

Sorry it's been a while since I have posted anything, but all my free time lately has been spent on a major construction project to the city.  There was a very confusing intersection on Wells Rd, and , Wells Rd. it's self needed to be widened.  In all, I took down an empty building, tore down a bridge, and built a new, wider one a few blocks to the north, and made the entire area just look plain better.  I will post before and after pics in a little bit.  More to come!

East Wardolf has it's own park system that consists of four separate parks.  East Wardolf Park, John Wardolf Memorial Park, Spruce Park, and Dam Park.  It started with East Wardolf Park that came into being when I had a dirt lot that was too small to build anything on.  I decided to fill it in with grass to make it look better.  Eventually, I made it into a park with a path, lights, benches and tables.  It recently has grown into a two level park, one of only two.  The other one is Dam park constructed on top of an old dam.  Right now, because West Wardolf is still so small, it doesn't have any parks yet.  More to come!
