RULES:
One player per building (no teams)
You have 48 hours to complete your building starting from the start time of the competition
Buildings will be judged on difficulty of build and realism
The ground floor must have a ceiling at least 5 blocks high off the ground
Each upper floor must be traversable (i.e. at least 2 blocks high)
Do not build outside of your plot
TIPS:
Use Google Street View to see how a building looks at street level. It is just as important
The tallest buildings may not be the best buildings to build
Pick a building that is interesting and has variety throughout the building
Do not bother furnishing the interior upper floors
If you have time, furnish the ground floor with whatever you like
You do not have to pick a famous landmark. You can pick any building you like as long as it is a real building and a skyscraper
Take into consideration the height limit of the map when planning your building. It will limit how many floors you can build
Update:
Changed competition period to 48 hours. Updated the server to 1.4.5.
Yay! big build is back! Im so down for this, its a shame its limited to already built skyscrapers however, some of the sketches/ prototype skyscrapers are far more sexy then the reality built ones, Time to hunt on google XD
Ohh… this is cool! Now I wish I had the mad skillz so many others have. Thanks to the timing, I should have no problem being there. I… might actually try to make something. That would be a first, right? If it is modeled off of something, I might be able to make it.
