WIR PLANEN DIE GRÖßTE CRAFT ATTACK BASE JEMALS...

Summary

Three days before Craft Attack 14, the group held a planning meeting for a large shared Minecraft build. Their original idea was a Jedi Temple, but its appearance and demanding material list led the team to reconsider. After brainstorming other large structures, they settled on Marineford, the naval fortress from One Piece, as their preferred project.

The build had not started yet; the stream focused on choosing a design and working out how to approach it.

Plans and challenges

• The Jedi Temple was estimated to require around 600,000 blocks, including enormous quantities of stone, terracotta, sandstone, quartz, and other materials.
• The group considered reducing Marineford’s size while preserving its proportions. They planned to build it over water, including its platform, crescent-shaped feature, execution platform, main fortress, and surrounding buildings.
• Finding a suitable ocean location and handling the island, water, and mountain terrain remained concerns.
• Kenny and Wilbo had prepared a build template and were asked to refine the plan, scale, and materials list for the team.

Gameplay and strategy

The group’s proposed opening plan was to:

1. Find a suitable location and mark the build’s center.
2. Make a simple starter base and establish the main outline.
3. Set up a villager trading hall to obtain gear, tools, armor, and enchantments.
4. Build essential farms, especially for iron, wood, and stone.
5. Fill in the outlined sections and divide the remaining work among builders.

A cobblestone generator, potentially using a TNT duper, was suggested as a way to produce large amounts of stone. The group also discussed using quartz trades and crafting to help supply diorite.

The team wanted to split the project into smaller goals and shifts so people could contribute without everyone crowding into one call. They preferred large, repeatable sections that could be built quickly over intricate decoration.

Rose was asked to help with the houses, while Metashi was seen as a good fit for repetitive material gathering, such as sand farming.
