I've been working on an Information Centre in my 6 Year Forever World - I have several regions in this world and I plan to make an info centre in each to let visitors know how to get around - and what there is to discover in each region!

I like making the world more alive by imagining people living inside it and creating what feels like a real society - so I added a public toilet in between the information centre and train station as this is a hotspot location.

The Central Territory region is expanding and I can't wait to see what else I'll create there!

hi! recently i noticed a surpassed the 100 hours in my forever world, so i decided to take a leap and share some pics of my first base.

theres a lot of projects and builds that i still have to complete/start, but thats whats keeps me going ig.

theres also a second base like 8k blocks away, were i moved for a while when i was feeling stuck whit this one, but thats its even less finished, no much to take pics there yet.

this is my first time posting here, i will try to post more when future projects are finished

any comment or suggestion is apreciated

Just wondering cuz I started one in version 1.8.9 yesterday. I like that version as it has the most features before the combat update.

1: Fjord
2: Willowmere
3: Atlas (WIP server hub/spawn)
4: beezkneez farm
5: Fellgard
6-7: Fellgard super sorter (1.2mil capacity)
8: marcia arena
9: unknown WIP build
10: Kotoji WIP
11: Fell Farm
12: Grand Portal

I really don't want my world to die

I'm back!

I posted an image a week or two ago of my jungle base I was building in my forever world and a lot of people liked it, so I'm here to share the finished product!

I took some photos of the exterior at night as I lit up a few of the trees with copper lanterns to give it a bit more atmosphere and then got some pics of the interior rooms!

Interior pictures (8 onwards)

Bedroom, brewery and nether room, smelting room, crafting room, storage rooms, enchanting setup and library

I put a lot of work into it so I hope y'all like it!

I'll probably expand outwards once I have better tools as I did all of this with just iron XD

Because this thing looks goofy from the outside.

I have seen many, MANY posts asking for help with their forever worlds. There have also been many videos too. But I wanted to just accumulate that knowledge on a single post. Please reply with your favourite or best tips for forever worlds. To start I shall provide a few of my own:

1. Take it at your own pace: you do not have to immediately be set on getting to the dragon or the nether pr whatever, if that is how you play then go for it. But as a sandbox game, minecraft does not really have an ending. Just a boss locked dimension with a few useful items. Take your time on projects, plan them out. Take time away from the game to do other things too, so you don't get bored. But whatever happens, do not rush yourself.

2. Try not to delete the world: you don't always need to settle at spawn, if you do not like it then you can move on to a different part of the world. My forever world is over 1000 blocks from spawn and looks lovely. So if you don't like your spawn, just do some travelling gathering resources like saplings and the like for your home. That gives you plenty of time to envision and plan what you want to do.

3. Give yourself more stuff to do on 'completed' projects: your farms are cool and all but what if they had an exterior like a forge for an iron farm or ponyoon for a fishing farm? Your villagers can't very easily get you any more if they are locked in a cell, maybe cultivate a village above dor the express purpose of generating more villagers. Build your own buildings for them perhaps. Your mine is nice but what if you made a dedicated enterance? What about pathways around your base to connect things?

4. Do not be deterred by others: I'm talking about people and Hermitcraft and the like who do Minecraft for a living, chances are you do not. Do things you are happy with. Try not to compare them to other people. If you have a nuce cosy starter base but whant a bigger one, you do not need to jump to a mega base. Maybe you just build a bigger base that eventually becomes part of the mega base or just a different base entirely. Don't determine qhat you need to do based on what others have done.

5. Cheats: now, I am not here to tell you to not use cheats but it can ruin the feeling of survival. You do not need to play it too risky. As a bedrock player, the removal of the ability to get acheivments is annoying at best. But what you can do with keep inventory, you can also do without it. It is super satisfactory to get achievements, maybe that is one of the goals you set yourself. Getting all acheivments is a super cool feat.

6. Expand: try not to limit yourself to one area. Underground bases are so popular because of how easy you can expand them. But the same can be said for above ground bases. You can expand a pre existing base or build another building close by. You will find that you have made your own cosy cluster of builds.

I hope this helps somebody! Please leave your own tips here if you can!

For the World Hub contest: It’s hard to select anything as the center of my world, but I guess this would be a solid contender for it and fits the vibes.

“The estate” is a VERY old (in the lore at least) mega mansion located within Tiertek city’s oldest neighbourhoods near spawn, and sits next to the second house ever built on the world in 2014. It is surrounded by the Hogwarts islands on one side, the old downtown on another, the theme park (under construction with a few rides done since years ago lol), and the research/stem street where the bulk of the city’s innovations have originated from. The Bel family who built and maintained the estate over several generations have brought immense wealth to the people of this place through their advancement of storage and energy facilities across the city.

One odd feature of the estate is that a small red stone system changes the shape/vibes of the property just a tiny bit to give it that evil lair vibe at night and during thunderstorms. This is mainly done through lighting, trapdoors, and pistons to change the focus on edges and certain colours.

Just started playing and created a single player world with my preferred settings. Can I use the same world and start new with fresh character and if so how? Thanks.

Day #460! most stuff is work in progress though. 4.25 days with world open, 3.75 days played. the furthest ive ever got in survival before

I almost hit the edge. That’s what I get for showing off.

I really like the idea of keeping a single Minecraft world for years instead of constantly starting over.

That's why I built Forever World Portals.

The mod adds player-built portals that permanently connect the built-out parts of your world to distant, unexplored frontiers, generating new chunks as you continue your adventure. Instead of abandoning your old base or trekking tens of thousands of blocks, you can keep growing the same world indefinitely.

I'd love to hear what other Forever World players think.

Someone requested more detailed pictures of the towers, so I figured I'd show closer pictures of several places around the cathedral. I also measured the size if anyone's interested. It is 169 blocks long (east-west), 131 blocks wide (north-south) and 188 blocks tall. The nave (with aisles) is 57 blocks wide and 62 blocks high. Comparing to Cologne, which is what this is based on, I'm about 25m longer (though I don't have the apse yet), 45m wider, and 31 blocks taller.

Here's the original post from yesterday with the wide views. Those were in Vibrant Visuals, but I figured it's easier to see the blocks in fancy graphics mode.

Also, here's the cathedral I've been drawing inspiration from for some of the details (there's a couple other's I'm looking at, but this one has been the most help):

I added the spires to top off the west towers of my cathedral. Now, there's just the central tower and the apse to the east (plus the interior).
