Got bored, made the OT lair in Minecraft. Including the turtles.

Cryomancer · 08-26-2012, 08:43 PM

Been playing around with Minecraft modpacks again, and was reading the pretty great thread we have about the layout of the OT lair and decided...why not?

It's a lot of pictures, so here's a link to an imgur gallery.

Click on them to see them in larger size if you would like.

I'm sure I was not accurate with some things. I didn't really trust the Japanese layout map about how they apparently have to go through each other's bedrooms to get to places, so I eliminated that. Don's room is now attached to his lab, etc. I planned on doing a garage / underground exit for the van but the vehicles in the modpack are bugged out right now so I'm not bothering with that yet.

A lot of the blocks I used in making this are not available in normal Minecraft. In this case I was using a big mod pack from the Technic Pack forums, you can get it here if you would like: "Donshik Super TechPack ". I was using ver 1.2.3, but it has some bugs and will probably be updated soon. If it becomes more stable and the update doesn't break the save, I'll probably upload the save so other people can play around with it. Edit: looks like the creator of that pack has decided to discontinue it, of course. I'll attempt getting this available for regular minecraft someday.

Lemme know what you guys think. If there's something you want a picture of or to know more about just ask.

I'm amused.

Cyromancer, I fear you've got too much time on your hands sometimes!

The polygon graphics just feel so '90s and it just doesn't feel realistic enough to give me that "It's the Turtles Lair" feeling, just feeling like another typical apartment/condo. I guess you couldn't draw circular shapes, which is part of the reason why the graphics aren't the best. The biggest flaw is the floor, which is made of cement and not brick. But by the limitations of the graphics, you seemed to put a solid effort into your Lair.

Cryomancer · 08-26-2012, 09:27 PM

The floor is "marble bricks" from redpower. I weighed the options I had and it seemed about the best. I could have done bare stone, I suppose. There is also basalt bricks which would look just like the marble only in black.

You can see I did some bare stone on the kitchen walls to represent those sections of the lair with stuff covering the bricks, but I got lazy with that and didn't really do it past the kitchen.

Cool TMNT lair

Looks nice. I have no idea how difficult or how much time it takes to make stuff in Minecraft.
Either way, nice way to keep yourself entertained when bored.
