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!!!
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!
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
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
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.
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!
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!
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!!!
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!
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. :)
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.
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 :)
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
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
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.
Now I'm torn between redoing a lot of my city roadways and moving my buildings around or just starting to move forward with these new ideas. Anyways, love these videos, they help me a lot in learning new things when building my city in Minecraft.
Thanks Matt for the video! It was really helpful for me bc usually when I build a city, I loose motivation and scrap it so these ideas have given me lots of inspiration!
I just discovered your channel and I love it! I just created a survival world where I plan get all achievements and when I created it I was watching the video of how to build a bridge and I decided to add my city texture pack to my world haha
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.
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. =)
I’m just casually watching the video and see the bud stops and am like, does this guy get his own footage and live in Ottawa? Later on in the video he says it himself. Fascinating to know I live near a decently popular RUclipsr
I always give up in everything but i dont wanna give up...i am gonna make a minecraft city and ty for showing all the ideas and all the hard work u do for all of us =)
If there's another Urban Planning video your going to make, it would be helpful if you got a bit into the details and logistics of how it wuld play out in minecraft.
Bro u are if not the best one of the best Minecraft channels u have helped me a lot bro I appreciate this soo much your vids are just quality and help I love it thanks man!!!!
Sir I have to ask a question. In minecraft we usually play minecraft and can't watch small details from top. How did you get these images of your city 1:24, 1:26. Please tell me how did you got that gta v like map view. It will be your great help.
My sister is an architect her life is quite she's sick but I wanted to help and this Minecraft game is good for building I practice and practice architect and I found this RUclips channel you alpine thanks for the tutorial it helps me.
dumb question, but are there sewers in Andea, and if so could you make a video on them whenever you can, please, thank you. (I know that is probably a extensive topic so I understand if you can’t talk about it)
hey what did you do to get all those cool furniture an custom items? when using mods i have to use several different mods just for 1 or 2 of the stuff it adds
I have been researching human habitation for the last ten years since I got a laptop and started playing the game in an effort to educate myself about good and robust designs. Since I play vanilla with building mods, I am trying to create a island kingdom with a somewhat similar size as Andea with a focus on the coastal towns on the mainlands the island is beset by. After years I've finished a rough draft of the dimensions and surrounding, but I am currently stuck in a thought. I need ghettos and shanties, dilapidated buildings and rough areas. I was going to have have certain areas struck with corruption and whatnot to have a visual indicator of the split between the classes. I am now considering something like an underground complex where the lower classes live. So far, I think this, as well as above ground dwelling will add depth and layer into the continent as well as add a chance for better story writing. Do you have any thoughts, recommendations or concerns that you might share with me?
If you'd like to help me be able to make videos full-time, I have Patreon perks here: www.patreon.com/alpine1 :)
(Also don't forget to drink water)
Almost forgot thanks I was dying of crippling thirst it nearly got me there close call. 😅
thank you for the reminder, father
I only drank coffee today, is that good enough?
Eddie hall has blessed you 😇
Water good! 😄👍
Still convinced you have some of the cleanest and most educational Minecraft content on RUclips!
Thanks so much!
Be even more clean if he slow down his speech a little in some places. Hard to understand sometimes.
@@SquidsAgainstChickens Agreed
So true
What if i want the people in my city to get hit by bikes while they are walking?
Just say "black friday market this way" in the direction of the bike lanes. Easy!
Pedestrians would go on the side walk, and on intersections bike traffic lights could be installed (yes those exist)
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
Ayyy ima walkin hera
@@-BigChunguswoah.
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!!!
Love how much humor and how much info is packed into these vids
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.
My city is on super flat…
Mine too
If you have worldedit, try shifting the ground so that it looks like there's a landscape.
You can use commands or world edit to adjust
Hahaha.... i make this differrnt!
@@prompiriya-phophun how do I get world edit?
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.
real life city planners could def use this tip
@@eonsprite6109well come to finland and you will see a LOT of trees *everywhere*

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!
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.
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
Great video as always ! Love the occasional cinematic scenes that show you walk around Andea !
Thanks man
@@Alpine1 Latest reply ever seen since Emporor Bong’s great inquiry in 567 B.C.
It's cool to see Ottawa/Gatineau in this video, been there before and recognized the waterfront spot with the boats!
Vertical slabs sideways stairs and combinable slabs would really help add additional details to any city. Ancient old and modern. Even futuristic.
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.
@@jeus2528 and were do I obtain these on X box one?
@@jeus2528 I want to make detailed city scapes and other stuff. I don't enjoy Minecraft with all the sharkism and anti fortnite and bedrock bullying.

8:14 I could watch this clip of the Andea sign ALL day omg I love it
You should do a tutorial on how to do custom trees. They are amazing!
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.
great tips, thank you!
you should've said "Have no fear, Alpine is here!"
actually that didnt happen to me but i am going to continue watching the video anyway because it will be useful
I started my city on a flat world so I can’t really put elevation changes :(
Make artificial elevation with commands
@@Pisolithus u just go down to bedrock and then put in the cords we’re u want it to be elevated right
make a city on infinite world
I use pre-defined so it’s random and unplanned elevation changes like real life mostly.
1:53 for a second I thought this was build in minecraft
Bold of you to assume it isn't.
You should make a video about roofs, like where to put HVAC, solar panels, roof access, greenery, etc.
Lovely presentation Alpine! 🥂
maaan, i love you videos, im always making more projects for my city, and you make me brain explode with ideas! thanks for this tips!!
Now I'm torn between redoing a lot of my city roadways and moving my buildings around or just starting to move forward with these new ideas. Anyways, love these videos, they help me a lot in learning new things when building my city in Minecraft.
underrated channel tbh

Nice
Wonderful video as always
i discover u today, and automatically turns to my favorite yt channel.

00:01 Did you just hire Steve Carell here?
Whenever I see your visuals in Minecraft there's always a second where I think they're irl.
Alpine: Talking about you should make your city calm cool and happy
Me: Trying to make a city in a warzone
How about a war torn village that is near the city?
Great video, this was extremely useful!
Cats go moooo
And cows go meow
I'm a simple man, I see alpine video, I click.
I’m currently making a lot of Coastal Towns and this is pretty useful,
I subscribed this is the second video ive watched and im convinced your channel is underrated
This is even good for medieval style cities. I’ll definitely be using this in a project I’m working on
I love how this guy legit could make a better city then the one i live in right now like that's just crazy
The video really helps me to build Berlin, Germany in Minecraft thanks for uploading this video bc it’s the best
Bro i love your videos they make my city looks amazing and can you do some cruise ship port
Loving the realism. You should make Andea into an economy server with car mods and currency. Make it a liveable city for players to live in.
I took a visit to andea and was stunned with the detail and everything
“16 ways to improve your minecraft city”

I live in brockville that is so nice to watch someone i love live close by!
Still wondering what im doing in this channel when my skills are only medieval but I ain't regretting it
My skill is building villager houses thus is why I mainly make villagers but i am trying to make a city
Your videos are a huge inspiration, Keep up the amazing content
wow nice vid, I love these sort of easy idea videos :D

Wow thanks! I can improve my city with this video!
hello alpine i love your videos and you give me inspiration for building my own city
Sir I have to ask a question.
In minecraft we usually play minecraft and can't watch small details from top.
How did you get these images of your city 1:24, 1:26.
Please tell me how did you got that gta v like map view.
It will be your great help.
Hey Bro, make a video on how to plan a city Part 2 and try to go more hardcore into it?
The map looks great and huge
Still enjoy your vid been here for more than 1 year from a fellow Canadian 🇨🇦💪👍
Wow I remember when you only had about 2k subs! Congrats on 20k :D
How about using traffic-slowing techniques, like extended side walks?
Amsterdam is famous for their use of psychological traffic control.
dude your channel is so underrated, i thought you had a million subscribers or something
The texture mod is perfect if you are building a city or a WHOLE country!!
That’s what my huge project is it’s been going since 2 whole MONTHS!!
Thx for this very helpful
That’s awesome to hear!
i love your videos they're truly incredible ! keep up the amazing work
My sister is an architect her life is quite she's sick but I wanted to help and this Minecraft game is good for building I practice and practice architect and I found this RUclips channel you alpine thanks for the tutorial it helps me.
This would also certainly apply to an irl city
Why is this channel so underrated?
Omg ive been waiting for your tips
dumb question, but are there sewers in Andea, and if so could you make a video on them whenever you can, please, thank you. (I know that is probably a extensive topic so I understand if you can’t talk about it)
This helped so much thankyou 🙂
I like the way he has the motivation so am not unsubcribing
Im learning architecture watching your videos :>
This is all great but you need the texture pack you have. Any tips for the default texture pack?
Do you use any mods, if so which ones? Also, do you have a world download?
I love it Alpine :)!!!!
I have a question, when you start a city in Minecraft how do you start as in where do you spawn and how do you know when to stop a city
Me playing Minecraft: Medieval age
Alpine playing Minecraft: HAHAHA MODERN DAY GO BRRRRR
Those cars and trucks wouldn't mind a tutorial
hey what did you do to get all those cool furniture an custom items? when using mods i have to use several different mods just for 1 or 2 of the stuff it adds
This is sick keep it up man
