We recreated the abandoned Filmtheater Merkur (cinema), located in our hometown Arnstadt, in heavily modded Minecraft. Just like our previous build, the Fabrik Schwarzatal this isn’t an exact historic replica of the real-world building. It’s more of a renovation concept. The interiors are freely imagined by us as what we deem fitting for an old cinema. In the end, it turned out to be a mix of Art Deco and Classical style, I guess. We tried to stay realistic with the new ideas in regard to structural logic. The other four houses are all located in Arnstadt too and were randomly picked by us. The whole map is made with Chisels&Bits which allows us to split full blocks into 16×16 (1/16 of a meter) separate pixels and achieve high precision for a very accurate interpretation of the real-world location. The buildings themselves are nearly identical from the outside to their real-world counterparts and are at the limit of what is possible in Minecraft. The cinema is also functional thanks to the Web Displays mod. You can visit every site on the Internet, like YouTube on the screen. After spending a lot of time on this project, we think it’s worthy of uploading. It makes us happy that yet again these buildings are preserved digitally for eternity from now on.
This map features:
– Realistic facade of the Filmtheater Merkur (cinema) in Arnstadt
– Realistic facade of 4 other houses in Arnstadt
– Every building has full and detailed interiors
– Many switchable lights in the cinema (mostly in the big hall)
– Working cinema screen with WebDisplays mod
!!!IMPORTANT!!!
Always use the modpack from the specific map! If you have the specific modpack from one of our other maps, it most likely won’t work with this one.
Download Modpack (Filmtheater Merkur) for Curseforge (required)
Our maps uploaded here are cutouts which we considered worth sharing of our bigger building map, hence the abruptly cut landscape at the region corners.
