I am announcing that the largest shopping mall to ever be built in Minecraft is currently under construction. Well, you ask, how can it be the biggest yet it isn't finished? Right now it is bigger than most of the big malls in Minecraft and we are only 50% done. Unfortunatly I am posting this from a dumbphone right now so I can't put in pictures, but our photo gallery is availible at http://dodge-them-al...com/apps/photos . I will post pictures and an update video ASAP. Now for mall features...:
==Mall Features==
-Largest mall in Minecraft
-15 story hotel
-Aquarium
-Indoor theme park
-Over 50 stores, using ChestShop
-Large rotunda with shops
-About 10-30 elevators
-15-30 water escalators
-Monorail to city
-5 retail floors
If you want you can catch progess of our mall using the IP in my signature. You can also buy stores in the mall if you like.

The pictures are in! Mall exterior is NOT complete. Unfortunately the High Rossferry texture pack isn't available for 1.5.1 yet, so textures may be out of whack. Video (update) may come soon.
Our mall has plenty of space to expand as you see in the image above, this is what will make it the largest mall in Minecraft.

We are still building this mall. As said earlier, it is only about 50% complete. Phase II contains the aquarium, theme park and possibly more stores and another parking garage.
In addition, if you are interested in our server, just jump over to our thread or site to see what we're about!

Not to be a snob, but "biggest" (doubtful) doesent mean best.
Ive seen some very large, very ugly structures in minecraft....
If you want to make something that will impress people visiting the server, slow down and build smaller at first. Get some good design concepts, and pay attention to detail. (I like your use of different quartz textures!) Making massive boxes out of the same material and then figuring out what to put inside them is a sure path to architectural failure.
That said it doesen't look too bad. I would suggest adding a vertical elevator, and thinking about circulation (how people will move around your mall) very carefully. Keep at it! I'm sure you will add more detail but I can't stress that enough.
Also... windows/views??? I dont see much of that in your mall.... A lot of people have no concept of how make a decent window... either its facing the wrong way or you can't see out of it properly.
Sorry for the rant but I see too many builders/admins these days copy/pasting massive ugly garbage. I'm sure your mall will look great when its finished.

Hey, thanks a lot for your constructive criticism, it has changed my outlook on how Ibuild the mall a lot. We have about four of us working on this, but I've done about 85% of the work and many if not all of the designing was done by me. The exterior front facade so far is about the best done to the mall so far. However, I can admit that the sides of the mall have no real design yet, I think I'm putting windows there though. I have seen gorgeous mall too, esp. the Keralis mall. My design won't exactly approach that detail, but I hope to come pretty darn close. I will work in small portions from now on, but at this point shrinking it would be counterproductive.

I dunno, this one was made on my survival server a while back (only have a screenshot from his concept, but it was 100% finished in survival)
Details: Stone: 173224 Glowstone: 256 Air: 9888344 Total Volume: 10061824 (Including arches and pillars) (272W x 272L x 136H) Total volume inside: 2820096 (Not including arches and pillars) (144W x 144L x 136H)

That is dope. The block resolution is epic enough to warrant the use of more round/organic shapes like the cylindrical columns and the monument-like frieze.
Mall Update: The Dodge Them All Diamond City Shopping Galleria is only about 30% complete. Phase I is only about65% complete, because I have decided to make major structural changes to look like a real mall. Phase II will have a concourse twice the size of Phase I. IAside from structural improvents I am also working on exterior architecture expected to take a few weeks. Unfortunatly, I am on hiatus until mid-June so many features of the mall will have to be halted for moment.

You thought the mall was dead didn't you. Well, it isn't, and soon I will post an update on progress, because we brought our server out of retirement!
