Minecraft Creations | Cali Project Update

    Last weekend, my friend and I totally bumped up the Cali Project's potential by adding a lot more to it.  We added 8 new houses around the Cali Estate's property.  The gated community that the Estate is in is called Adobe Hills Estates.  (named after the real place, Adobe Hills, California.)  Again, this project is California themed.  (hints the name Cali Project)  Anyway, we have also added a market called the "Upper Marketplace," which is right outside of Adobe Hills Estates.  Outside of the market, we added a town hall.  In a next update, we should have the town plaza finished.  Here are some pictures of what has been going on at the Cali Project. 


    This is the overall view of what we have completed so far.  At the top is the magnificent Cali Estate, and at the bottom is the town hall.  In the middle is the Upper Marketplace.  All the houses around and in front of the Estate are part of the gated community of Adobe Hills Estates. 


    If you are new to the "upper" class area, you can tell that Adobe Hills is a very expensive neighborhood to live in.  With houses on the hills, and two-story houses in the valley, Adobe Hills Estates is a great community if you can afford it.  You can also tell that the gate is very big and looks magnificent.  (especially on the Ornate 5 texture pack)


    In the middle of the neighborhood, there is a single tree standing in line with the Cali Estate.  If you go to the right and take a left, you will find a pathway that leads up to the estates on the hill.  They are my favorite style of houses so far in Adobe Hills.


    These houses are yet not too small nor big.  They don't lack size, yet they don't lack coziness.  They are a perfect style of houses that I really like to make.  There are only three houses of this style so far, but we plan to make a lot more around the rolling hills.  Like most of the town's theme, they are made out of sandstone, wood, and stone, adding a great look to an even better project.   


    Inside one of the homes, the style has an overall flow to it.  The kitchen is usually right there when we walk in, with the fireplace on your left or right and the dining area next to the kitchen.  But the bedrooms are usually at the back of the house.  Most of these homes have the same style as each other. 


    The kitchen, as you can see, is in a very good spot.  It looks great, feels great, and shines with that marble floor.  (oops, I meant snow block floor but it looks like marble *wink*) 


   The dining room can only be accessed by going through the kitchen and it seems very appropriate.  It also has a 180 degree view of the outside world and the beautiful Cali Estate. 


   The fireplace, for some odd reason, was not lit when I took the picture, but it still looks marvelous with those iron bars and stunning brick outline.


   As we come into the market made for the "higher" class people, it has a very simple feel to it.  Each side is color coordinated to be in a specific type of color range.  Warm colors on one side and cool colors on the other.  The pathway has a iron block pattern to it in the middle.




   Although we didn't get a chance to add trees in all around it, the town hall still looks...simplistic to say the least.  It does have that "classic town hall" feel to it. 



   On the inside the town hall is pretty much the same.  It has a chandelier overhead and 3 or 4 rows of seats on both sides. 


  As for now, that is it.  We have been working hard on this project, and I think we are going to come out with a bang!  (I have no clue where that came from.)  I can't wait until we get this thing all finished.  It is going to look amazing to say the least.  The next update will most likely be next week around this time.  So until next time, enjoy the ARCHITECTURE!

    1. There's no download link for the map. There's one for the texture pack, but it's very outdated.
