Hello!

I have recently decided to start a new city, and I figured it would be a good idea to make a topic about it. To keep everyone updated, but also for others to post suggestions or questions.

I wanted an area of land which was enclosed by water on three sides (atleast one had to be an ocean). After a while I found the spot I wanted to build the city at:

For now it is only a guideline of stone which will eventually be build into a wall.

Once the wall is completed and all the trees within have been removed, I will start planning what buildings will go where. It'd be nice to receive suggestions on what buildings should be added!

Hope to post the next update soon!

Note: I still need a name for the city! Enter the city name contest here (for 15k prize money!):

Update #1:

Started on the walls, it is going a bit slow since it is not the most exciting part of the city. To take a break from that I have made some plans for what goes where around the city:

There will be (atleast) two gates in the city, marked by the white lines along the red border of the wall. Those will be redstone gates. Also I'd like a gate on the spot at "optional gate", that would be a gate for boats, so it'd have to be partly underwater, not sure if this is possible with redstone. 

I have marked the harbor district, this will contain atleast one portal ship (maybe more in the future) and more decorational ships. Also there will be the usual buildings a harbor should have (storage, some shops, etc.)

Also I have marked the village area, that will be a less dense populated area outside the city walls. Here will be large fields of wheat and other crops. Also there will be small shops, market squares, taverns and more.

I have a vague idea of what should be in the city, suggestions are always welcome!

Since this update I have a job open:

I need someone that can build me 2 (and maybe a 3rd underwater) portcullius gate. It has to open with the use of buttons, and they also have to open/close at sunrise and sunset. If this is something you'd like to do, we can talk about the payment
