For the past couple months (On and off between this and other projects/work) i have been building an underwater city, I'm adding anything you would find in your standard city to this one for example;
Transport (Submarines).
Residential Buildings.
Private Houses.
Recreation (Pools, Tennis courts, Ice skating, Movies, Bars, etc)
Shops.
Banks.
Small Prison/Holding Cells (Large one coming in the future)
Bio-domes of all Biomes (Plus parks)
Mansions.
Farms (Animal & Plant)
When it is done it will be fully self-sufficient and sustainable.
Yes i did make this in creative so please don't ask.
This is the second one i have made, my last one (Rest In Piece) has been lost (Deleted) for some time so i decided to make a new one (Old one can be found here, http://www.minecraft...98#entry4176898)
I have a short video showing a small amount of the city:
I will start off with some basic shots of the city:
If i receive positive feedback and interest i will show more detailed images of it being built and interior (And later on HD texture pack versions).
I love the structure and form of the city, I have but only a meager suggestion... perhaps some sort of sea-bed terrain elevation variance? Like fissures and undersea mountains and the like?

Map download please? Really would love to check it out!
Eventually i will more than likely (Not saying 100% so don't quote me on it if i decide not to)
It will never be "Finished" as i will always add onto it now and than, but if i do decide to release it later on i wan't it to be abit larger, and then i will update the downloads for newer versions.

Yeah i agree it is to flat but i had 2 options:
- Use superflat (Which i did)
- Use superflat but then spend a few hours making small hills and such.
For the later additions i may add small hills or fissures, but im fairy restricted as the ground is at 8 or so i'm not sure, so i don't have alot of wiggle room for rifts and craters but small hills or mountains is a possibility.
What I'm curious about is, creative or not, how do you get rid of all the water, do you really just place blocks and remove them ?
I tried that and it's still a hell even if it's a single dome.
This is done in creative, the water comes afterwards, when in the water that deep and so close to bedrock you can only faintly see 3 blocks away and would be impossible to build in.
Really nice work.. good job! First, you build and then you add the water... was it tough to add the water into that huge area? (I never played creative) I mean, it seems very big. Were you alone to build it? Anyway, it is a very amazing work. It's a challenge to build underwater, well done. It also looks nice with the HD texture.

Yeah first i do the building exterior, cover it just a thin layer of water around the building (1 block) so i know that buildings exterior is done, than when there is a group of buildings together i flood the sections done from the sky, around 80 blocks high (This was when the limit was 128 so i left some wiggle room for buildings poking out of the water).
It's not so hard as it is irritating and time consuming, i tried using singleplayer commands and use worldedit but it did not agree with me, when trying to fill in around 500 blocks of air at lvl 79, it choose over 300,000 blocks instead and decided to replace a large chunk of my city with water, thankfuly i backed it up before hand, i have not added anymore water since then so not sure how i will flood later on sections.
I had 2 friends help me out earlier on in the build when there was only about 10-20 buildings, 1 helped with the mundane copying the exterior of buildings (Some are identical next to eachother to simulate a section of shops or houses).
My other friend helped me with some Interior but i think he only did a few buildings and he won't help me any futher.
I may be having another help friend me within the next few days but for the most part its been a solo build.
Me, I work a lot with spc and WE and it helps a lot. Sometimes, when I want to fill an area with water, I do like this: I build the structures, then I fill the area I want to be water with another block (a block I'm not using anywhere). With the selection tool (wand), I select the whole region (buildings and the temporary blocks for water, I'd say Netherrack for this exemple (ID 87)) and do this command: //replace 87 9.
So, this will replace all the netherrack in your selected region with filled water (ID 9). Or a fastest way, avoiding filling the region with netherrack (for you, it would be a waste of time doing it)... select the region, and //replace 0 9. You will fill all empty blocks (air) of the region with water. But that way, you'll also have water inside your sructures, so you should do it with multiple selections. But I agree, it's tricky sometimes with selections.
When you fill your region, you surely have to arrange the water flows afterwards?? That's painful to do!??
Anyway, you seem to handle it well... Cheers!

I have tried a few ways,
1st i tried using MCedit but that is annoying to control.
I tried building a slab of stone say 100 by 100 blocks and than but water on it and deleted the stone, that took to long and it bored me.
I tried using SPC but that glitched out and deleted chunks of my city.
And i tried uploading it onto a temp bukkit server to use a none glitchy version of worldedit, which i will probably do from now on.
Another picture update, this one is about the submarines i have, They kinda look like space shuttles to me.
This is the manufacturing warehouse where they are made, the submarines are just a shell with no interior here.
A closeup of one of the submarines in the manufacturing warehouse.
This is the first (And currently only) Submarine docking station, i went for finer detailing so i added these signs, pretend they are cool futuristic 3D lights coming out of the wall.
The inside of one of the small submarines.
The cockpit/controls for the smaller submarines.
A completed submarine with a fitted interior in the departure storage which go from there to the Submarine docking station mentioned above.
A submarine as it is leaving the above departure storage.
The inside of the large (Currently only) submarine, going to change it soon, at the back there is the engines (Lava).
The cockpit/controls of the large submarine.
A overhead shot of the large submarine, abit hard to see through the water.
Two suggestions for you:
1. Do you know the sci-fiction novel from Jules Verne, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea? You could match something from it to your project. Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty_Thousand_Leagues_Under_the_Sea ... I'm thinking of octopuses!
2. You are building submarines. You might want to build a yellow one (Yellow submarine, The Beatles)!! hehe, for fun.
It's only suggestive... if you don't like them, that's fine. Cheers!
Omg thats so awesome, and whats cool is im making a texture pack called atlantis! U could use it for the map and maybe u could set up a hamachi server and get 4 other people to join and build together! It be awesome!

Swamp Biodome:

Park Biodome:

I used the superflat option when creating to world.
Why thank you good sir, gonna make some later on with HD textures and effects.
Didn't know there was such thing, but then again i didn't even look, thanks i will keep that in mind for the future.
