[Bezour] the inner palace courtyard

Entering the palace via the arch door now leads to a open inner courtyard. The air is perfumed by colorful flower fragrances and the relaxing sounds of the water ripples in the pond.

[Bezour] the library

Inside the big palace tower a two floor library now exists. Books and shelves cover the walls and an opening in the floor brings the two levels together. 

[Bezour] The palace grows

The palace tower test was satisfactory as proof of concept and set up the mood for the architecture. Before moving forward, I decided however to polish and change some parts which almost became a full reconstruction. Once done, it was the time for the tower to grow into a palace facade: a proper entry arch, walls extending following the coast line, a second bigger tower where the wall turns, terraces and cupolas. The square in front of the palace was populated by a street market.

[Bezour] Palace tower test

This new map will have an Indian/Rajasthan flavor. First building test is a palace tower/wall at the seaside with stairs descending to the water. Minecraft blocks lack the proper detail to this type of decorated architecture, but a general impression is still possible.

[Bezour] new map

"Bezour" is a new map I am creating in Minecraft PE. This time I will use the "creative mode" to save all the time required by searching/crafting in "survival mode" and have all materials available. It is a pity Minecraft PE does not allow to change a map type between creative and survival or at least copy a map with a different type (although some tinkering with the map files is possible, it is problematic in the tests I have done). Initial map looks like a sandy archipelago.
