1 step to building a city
Step 1:**Never lose motivation**

[jackboy]

Give 👏 this 👏 man👏 more 👏 recognition👏

[mrshibe]

Great timing! Me and a friend of mine are trying to start a city and we've just cleared a gigantic space for building! Thanks Alpine! :D

When people that build cities in a videogame think more about their city planning than average American city planners

[tehangrybird]

Super underrated, this guy designs his cities like actual real life cities

[IceCarno]

I'm currently making multiple small towns based on Oklahoma, so it's gonna be on a flat world, so it simulates the great plains

Thanks for the tips

4:57 - When importing a Minecraft map back into World Painter, you generally shouldn't import maps that already has buildings or trees. World Painter exports the blocks shown in the default top down view, so any houses/trees that has overhanging blocks will all be exported as the block shown in the top down view.

It's hard to explain how it works, but generally you should avoid importing terrain that already has been built on.
One way to get around this issue, is to use tools like World Edit. When you've exported your updated terrain, you can copy your already built city/houses into your new terrain.

Edit: But please, before you do anything, please make sure to always backup your world, just in case anything goes wrong.

I live in Korea, so sometimes I use Google Earth to look around North America, such as the US and Canada.
This Minecraft piece is so realistic and cool!!

This was so perfectly timed, I have been planning on building a city in Minecraft recently, and this was exactly what I needed

[mossvalley]

I’m from Vancouver island so its really awesome to see a local content creator… I’ll be following to watch the progress of this city :)

[DOUGLS]

I must admit the filler buildings idea is really great! I'm currently planning on renovating a town in World od Keralis, and it has a ton of unfinished builds. I might take those and repurpose them for that.

I am building my own Minecraft City right now. I have already made things like roads, football stadium, arena, congress hall, alot of parking spaces, bridges, rivers, terminals for cargo ships/cruise ships and even a central train station. Now with this video it makes me rethink what I have made and I have made it more "green looking" and it looked alot better now! Thank you for the help!

[VeimosArcht]

I just wanna say this first thank you for making these videos, they have helped me be more creative, and have added a whole new layer to my Minecraft experience. Secondly, I started a new city a couple of days ago and I intend it to be my best one yet after binge-watching your videos. The other “Cities” I've made before this were just tiny roads with random buildings, but I guess we all start from somewhere right.

I love how much you have helped me to become such a much better builder !

[lucasvanrens]

Thank you so much for all the inspiration you've given me and the rest of your fans, keep up the great work!

[Laggyfied]

A little bit! Found your channel 5 minutes ago and it was already worth it.

[neworox]

I’ve got a huge creative world with tons of styles and custom biomes and now I can get a good start on the city portion

Thanks m8

[herpsenderpsen]

can't believe worldpainter is still the go-to terrain tool... It really is that great. I used to make maps with worldpainter back in 2011-2012 or so i think.

[yosh-]

Thank you for this, I’ve been wanting to start another city for a while but wasn’t sure what to do, this helped a lot, thank you!
