Anyone here know how something looks when it's steampunky...
I'm in the midst of making a trainstation on my minecraft server or rather redesigning an old one and i'd like to make it have a steampunk look cause of the fantasy feeling my server has.
Atm i've gotten so far that it looks victorian but that's about it and it's not done anyway but if anyone knows then please post.

Steampunk is a forbidden topic in here. (http://www.tempestintheaether.org/)

IMO the thing that most screams steampunk is improvisation added to the Victorian look. Lots of exposed seemingly ad-hoc machinery. Anachronism is almost required. If you can figure out how to do a coal powered mobile phone you are a steampunk god.
-
The control column of the Winch engine even looks a bit like steampunk. At least it is not certain what one would see in something that appears like monitors.
And ignore Mishka who usually exaggerates, in general. ;)

A friend created an avatar for me and designed this steampunk style car.

Are you building this in creative mode with cheats enabled? i.e. do you have access to server commands like /give?
-
yeah but i don't usualy need it
-
Well, I thought of using single Nether Portal blocks as screens that can be set into walls: /give 90 1
Maybe complement that with a control block below: /give 137 1
Also fire on Netherrack is a great anachronistic asset to a steam punk building. For purpose of lighting, or as heating set into the walls along the hall in several fire places with chimneys. Even better behind glass, maybe! And don't have inflammable material like wood or wool near those (margin of four fields should be safe)
And don't forget the cobwebs and the vines to overgrow random parts!

This song should explain all that is, and isn't steampunk.

Let me google that for you....

Steampunk makes good use of brass, iron, rust and steam. Make sure to use dark woods, gold, iron... and a good rusty texture for a steampunk-like feeling. Cobwebs simulate steam rather well. Stone is advised against it, as is dirt. Use stone bricks, clay bricks, dyed hardened clay to make it look like brass, etc. It should look decadent, classic, post-aopcalyptic and modern, all at the same time.
Dunno if it helped.
-
Won't change from default textures but the rest sounds interesting even if i've used much stone in my build, mostly stone brick tho and a litle red bricks too, the hardend clay is from 1.6 and i don't have that but it should come this week so we'll see then :)
Heh rigwyn ;D

brass

Have you fiddled with using different mod packs or high res texture packs to support metallic surfaces, machines and gizmos? I'm not sure what's out there... perhaps there a SP themed mod pack? That would be terribly convenient.
-
Exactly what I was saying, Riggy. (http://www.minecraftforum.net/index.php?app=core&module=search&do=search&fromMainBar=1)
-
Empty search result.
And ... come on: High Resolution Textures for MineCraft? That will completely spoil the lo-fi charme.
-
64x will still be pixel-y enough while allowing for great detail in MC. I myself use a 128x, but that's something else. It has pentagons. Pentagons I say.
-
sorry mishka but i've built the whole server with default textures and i'll continue that way, it's harder but maybe more revarding in the end :P
Rigwyn i'm not making this in SP i'm actualy making it on my live server.

A litle update on the progress... starting to look kinda industrial atm heh
The loby.
(http://imageshack.us/a/img855/3109/qfo4.th.png) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/855/qfo4.png/)
The right side of the loby houses the arrival bays, can be seen at the back there in bricks.

The right side of the loby houses the departure bay, cart dispenser refill and the overflow if the dispenser gets too full.

Coming along very well! \\o//
That video about glueing on gears was hilarious, btw. Thanks. ;D
-
I'm right now thinking of giving my server a name and a facebook page for info and such and an easier way of getting in contact with me but the name isn't as easy as it could be lol
The motd on my server is "it sure looks like 8-bit" lol not much to go on there hah.
The server itself is fantasy based so no direct modern buildings on it and mostly medieval type builds as of now.
So far these types i've noticed on there:
medieval
steampunk
aztec
and a few others i can't put into any category so... fantasy fits well ;)
-
Good work Elvi!! These are really coming along- you rock Steampunk in blocks! :thumbup:

Oh and it's in a working state now so people can use carts :)
-
I got a overview map working on the server now so you can actually look at what's built WITHOUT the minecraft client :)
