Minecraft EPCOT Center Historical Tribute

[Mickeynerd17]

It's been quite a while since I've updated this thread, but a ton of progress has been made on the world making it more realistic along with a new map version.

For starters, Wonders of Life is finished.

A new entrance, parking lot, and the monorail have been installed.

Now, the current construction project is on Horizons, where I'm basically rebuilding the entire pavilion almost completely from scratch. Check out the progress here: https://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/horizons-an-epcot-center-minecraft-tribute.971035/#post-9548289

This is beyond cool. Having just gotten into MC this year (ikr?!) thanks to my DD... Can't wait to give this world map a spin with a couple of shaders. Will post some screenshots.

Thanks! There are many great photo opportunities in the park!

As a note, running on shaders will cause lag on lower-end devices due to the sheer volume of blocks and detail in the park, so watch out for that!

That there are! I actually enjoy that aspect of the parks almost as much as the rides.

I have heavy metal hardware. No worries.

Very impressive. I bet this all took well over an hour to do!

Here are some pictures of the updated Horizons currently under construction:

Question for all of you who we're lucky enough to ride this in-person, does the building look fairly accurate to how it was in-person? Thanks in advance!

I was all set to try the map with the SEUS PTGI shader but it seems you have to drop the contents of the zip into the root of your Minecraft folder... Do you need all the resources, etc. that come with it? I'd rather just drop the map into the Saves folder...

Are you talking specifically about the map? If you downloaded from MCPEDL, then it should be a .mcworld file where you just open the file and the import will start. There are directions on the site.

I personally would include all the resources because anything missing could affect the map.

That's what I figured - and that thought about the resources did cross my mind. Okay, will look at it more closely tomorrow.

This is fantastic! Great work and can't wait to see more.

After two months of hard work, Horizons has been rebuilt as the most accurate pavilion on the map! See the entire attraction with source audio here:

The next tribute has been released, this time on the Wonders of Life pavilion! Check out the construction process and take a full tour of the pavilion with source music from the BGM loop here:

Time to restart this thread. Get ready.

Modeled, moving animatronics, detailed scenes closely depicting the original park. Accurate structures, pathways, and exhibits.

World showcase will be present as well with its rides, restaurants, and shows.

All of this is coming real soon.

The opportunity cost of this is staggering.

Do note I am a hypocrite with 1000+ hours on Steam over the last decade.

How's 9 months sound? That's the new version.

If you count my previous iterations and attempts, then 5 years!

I really appreciate the effort put into this build... WoL has a whole lot of childhood nostalgia for me.

I also like the idea of the pre-show area being its own dedicated room instead of an extension of the hall.

Glad you enjoyed!

WoL was particularly difficult for me to construct mainly because of the interior and because there really isn't a "rideable" element either thanks to simulators.

Now, when I redo WoL, I plan to have an actual, rideable Body Wars and possibly a working CC as well. Time will tell if that comes to fruition.
