The City of Mine York

The City of Mine York, Designed for Minecraft. One of the oldest Minecraft worlds still maintained by the creator, Mine York has evolved with the game. Ever since it’s creation in 2011 on a 256×256 seed, the city continues to amaze players of a New York based map imagined by a New York based builder built specifically to fit the scale of Minecraft. This is an update, version 11.0.0, with a plethora of new features. Nether Island and Lapis Island are now a single island and constitute it’s own borough, called The Nether. A new borough now exists, named Kings, which is based off of Queens. The Nether (borough) is rebuilt, especially the area formerly known as Lapis Island. The previous buildings no longer exist save for the school. The Fence Gate Bridge connecting the former Lapis Island and Ender Island has been destroyed to accommodate a new highway that connects The Nether, Minehattan, Ender Island, Notch City and Blocker via the Nether-Blockstone Bridge. The Nether-Blockstone Bridge has been rebuilt, now based on the real life Bronx-Whitestone Bridge. The JackFrost Bridge, which connects Uptown Minehattan to Notch City, has been rebuilt. It is now based on the George Washington Bridge. A new bridge, the AntVenom-Narrows Bridge, now connects Blocker and Ender Island south of Minehattan, based on the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge. A new bridge, the Kingsboro Bridge, now connects Blocker and Kings, situated above the tunnel (that was previously a road to nowhere). This bridge is based on the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge. A new highway tunnel has been constructed, stretching from the Nether-Blockstone Bridge in The Nether, crossing Minehattan and eventually making it’s way to Kings. JFR International Airport in Blocker has been destroyed. In it’s place is a new airport (which continues the JFR name, now officially lengthened to Jack F. Redstone International Airport, fictional of course) that is larger, more organized, and bears a striking resemblance to Terminal 4 at JFK in Queens. This airport has been moved from Blocker to Kings. New highways facilitate transportation. A new central business district has been constructed in Blocker taking the place of the former airport. This effectively expands Downtown Blocker tremendously, making it much closer to modern Downtown Brooklyn. McDonald’s Center in Downtown Brooklyn has been closed in preparation for renovation to be more accessible and realistic. A new central business district has been constructed in Kings, named Small Island City. This is based off of Long Island City in Queens. The MYC Subway system has closed in preparation for a complete reconstruction. Two stations and tunnels with the proposed designs are available for public viewing in Blocker. The railway station in Notch City has been replaced with a new transportation center. The historical district of Crawford on the outer rim of Notch City has been made according to the history of Mine York; as such, here are highly simplistic structures reminiscent of the first few versions of Mine York. The Rochelle Gabriel Subsidized Housing Complex has been constructed north of Mine York, a trio of identical modern apartment buildings. The City of Blockstone is being constructed north of The Nether where the Six Craft Amusement Park once stood. Six Craft Amusement Park has been moved to a location closer to Enderdelphia (not complete). Highways have been demolished and moved in Blocker to allow for new buildings and neighborhoods. Minehattan has been given a new hospital complex; the MineYork-Presbyterian Hospital, affiliated with Bergensten University and MYU (to be built; suggestions for locations are welcome! Bergensten will be based off of Columbia and MYU on NYU). The highway circling Minehattan has been moved underground and continues to operate as a tunnel.
