Maplespire

Maplespire was originally created on a 1.10.2 modded server shared with several players who previously played EverQuest Landmark – when SOE was sold and then eventually the game was sunset we had nowhere else to build and so sought refuge on a minecraft world.  This particular server eventually was also closed and using a copy of the world file and the mods list I continued on my own single player, trying to weed out many of the mods which I had no use for.  A slow process! 

Eventually I made the conversion to 1.12.2 which stripped much of the remaining mods as they wouldn’t convert, and took about rebuilding what I had lost.

Skip forward a few more years and I was back to the conversion process for 1.15.2 for fortunately Conquest Reforged – the principle mod had finally been updated. Again I was left with little choice except to strip out the last of the mods including Chisels & Bits in order to salvage what I could – using mods on a server is always risky business!

Here we are in 2022 on a successfully updated 1.16.5 server, Maplespire is back to her (mostly) former glory 🙂

Roll forward another couple of years (Time flies!!) We are now on 1.20.1 on Fabric and have added another mega build in the shape of Mont St Michel, the fantasy version! 😀 More screenshots soon! <3

Azuris Castle

Azuris Castle is based off and inspired by the beautiful castles designed and built for the “Dream King” Ludwig II of Bravaria – specifically the fabled Burg Falkenstien which only ruins remain today – unlike its fellow Neuschwanstein.  Falkenstien was carefully crafted into a fairytale castle sculpture by the Lenox Company – the images of which were referenced to create my minecraft version.
