These Minecraft Ancient City Redesigns Are Gloriously Green

Minecraft builders are renovating the 1.19 update's ancient cities as if they never got ruined.



As as if the gloomy and dark world of Minecraft 1.19 was not enough, the intrepid builders are here to finish entire redesigns. There's a bit of small building happening in between other projects.



The massive, ruined structures that lie deep underground are creepy. They have broken pillars that are scattered across the darkness, covered with sculk blocks and shriekers that summon a warden to summon you if you aren't in their territory.



Perhaps the wardens are just cranky because their homes are in a state of disrepair though. Luckily, these builders are renovating the ancient cities to their former splendor. Some have been completely renovated with lush cave greenery to show they used to be living cities that could sustain life. Others have added legends of their own and brighten the darkness with an abundance of bright blocks. One at least decided to keep the spooky feel. Perhaps the old cities were always dangerous. The builders were often so determined to build their buildings in a strict manner and were not able to think creatively. I'm not going to do this.



These builds use the best Minecraft texture packs and shaders to produce vibrant auras. Here are some of the most creative and beautiful designs of the ancient city and links to the creators. This isn't the only instance of the amazing Minecrafting. We also have some amazing designs for desert temples, bases that are underwater as well as many other great Minecraft builds.



Unsorted Guy restores an ancient city back to its former glory. In this build showcase (opens in a new tab), Unsorted Guy explains the process he followed to replace all the sculk blocks with deepslate, transformed the ceilings into stalactites, and brought in a plethora of vines and leaves from the lush caves. In addition to restoring all the structures, Unsorted Guy relocates some grass blocks and creates an aquisition, and even constructs his own version of an old city farm. The place was truly alive at one point. The final building has a mountain-city ambiance because of the water.



This Andyisyoda-inspired city is giving me big Atlantis impressions. There's plenty of greenery that is being added to the site. It's hard for us to believe that the underground cities were dull and gray.



In the build timelapse video embedded above you can watch Andyisyoda building high-fantasy bridges over an ocean of water that is dripping with vines. Don't worry, they kept some of the spookiness intact with a lava moat that encircles the massive center portal. By the end the game, they've created a complete sunken city surrounded by towers, huge greenery that drapes and walls of lights.



Fixxitt412 has managed to create an entire city by hand, in a hardcore survival mode. This means that there is no life after death. It took Fixxitt412 100 days. Fixxitt's build is also super green, with flower gardens and farms, but they haven't completely eradicated all sculk. This feels like a nice touch.



The structure has a magical feeling to it, with lots and lots of lights and stained-glass emanating from the copper conduits at the top of the central portal. They've even made plans for houses for a group of villagers to move down and live in the dark, though I do wonder how long they'd survive.



Another lush subterranean city was built by RandomGgames (opens in new tab) and OceanManRulesZaWardo. This one is more crowded and could even be abandoned like the other cities from the past. Like these other gorgeous green builds though, it uses a variety of vines and leaves, bringing in some of the old glowstone blocks for lighting. It looks like the pair have cleared out pretty much all the sculk and have replaced it with wood walkways and deepslate arches.



This "build" is actually just two screenshots (opens in a new tab) but not a fully-fledged undercity, but it's a dang good image that I couldn't help but include it for all the other inspo-seekers around the room.



This is the complete opposite of the peaceful, green recreations that Seggie has made of the ancient city. Seggie could have made this city more frightening than a Nether fortress had he ever did. The skull archway, as well as the blue flames look terrifying.

Okay it's not a Minecraft build at all. This is an actual Lego set design that is based on the ancient cities cooked up by Veyniac540 (opens in new tab). It's pretty amazing. They've even put together construction instructions and list of parts in case you are looking to build it yourself (opens in new tab). After you're done playing with Minecraft There are also parts and instructions to help you.
