For a while now I have been wondering what would make a great medieval town? All I can seem to come up with is a friendly community and efficient setup, but I would like to know what you guys think about it?
-castle (realistically, it could be stone or wood)
-keep the moat empty, other wise it would erode the ground under the castle (if you want to be ultra realism)
-bakery
-small houses
-paved main streets (i think cobble would be best since they used it then)
-alleys can be dirt, but not grass
-make glass rare, they had huge taxes on it, not to mention i cost a lot
-have a grave yard, grass and one and a half high tomb stones (use half blocks)
-have any mines at least two blocks wide and away from town
-have any and all farms split up with fences
-add a river near by,lots of towns were near rivers, for transportation, and make it really wide, at least 5 blocks, but many rivers are not much more than 6 feet deep
-name a building after me (for realism purposes, honest!)
and do it on peace full, i would hate to see a castle go boom due to a mad :SSSS:,
Best of luck!

I have been playing since September 6, 2010, I know what I'm talking about
Hey,
Sounds like a fantastic idea, but make sure you make everything so that it all flows together. Are you gonna set up a server? Try make everything have a mixture of stone and wood, it makes everything go together well :-) Also try use logs as well it makes everything cool!
Add trees and flowers, make nature come to life in ur town (helps a ton in the long run), plus pave LOADS of roads and things :biggrin.gif:
Would love to help :smile.gif:

I am actually making a website especially for building Minecraft towns and I am just looking for some inspiration for the Structures page (Lists all useful buildings with a small description and a screenshot example).
If you would like to have a preview I could PM you the URL, but I am hoping to only advertise it once its ready.
