The City Construction challenge is a challenge where you build a city, if that wasn't plain enough. There are restrictions, however, to what tools and what materials you build with, depending on the era the city is in. Seeing as I cannot create a town of my own, I thought this would be acceptable, and it's also a fun project.

Here are the guidelines and such. (Some have been changed from the original)

Guidelines

Your challenge is to create a city, progressing through the stages one by one, reaching the next stage once all of the requirements are met. During the challenge there are some 'guidelines' that should be followed for the best playing experience. Some must be followed throughout the challenge (see below) whereas others are only temporary (explained in each stage).

General Guidelines
- Buckets that are found, such as in a dungeon chest, can be used regardless of the stage the city is in
- All NPC constructions can be used, regardless of your stage. (e.g. Furnaces in the NPC Villages can be used, but not picked up)


There are several stages to your journey to creating a successful kingdom, each stage will have its restrictions and requirements to progress to the next stage:

Stage 1: New Beginnings

Restrictions:
- You may only use wooden tools
- You cannot use any stone (including sandstone) collected for any reason (building, creating items etc.)
- You may only create/use items which ingredients can be gathered with the allowed tools or your hands (but no stone items, as stated before).

Requirements to advance:
- You must own at least 1 dwelling to live in, made from any material allowed and it must be safe to sleep in.
- 1 stack of 64 planks (or 16 wood) per person participating
- 5 items of edible food per person (e.g. 5 porkchops, 5 bread, 4 bread and 1 porkchop etc.)
- The dwelling must contain:
- A front door
- A living area
- 1 Bedroom with bed per person participating, must be a separate room with a door or on a separate floor.
- [Optional] A fenced off (or otherwise protected), working wheat farm that must have at least 5 wheat per person participating (1 person needs 5 wheat growing, 2 need 10 wheat etc.)

You may construct multiple houses, but each must contain at least: a front door, living area and a bedroom.

[Optional] requirements do not need to be done during the current age, but will during the next.

The other stages will be listed when we get to them. If you'd like to join, post below. Only accepted dedicated who won't cheat when I'm offline.

Awesome. Just ask to teleport to me (anyone besides staff) in order to get to the land where we're making the city.

I would like to do this , it sounds fun but 1 problem i have the new update so i cant go on the server until it updates.
when will this be on?
is there a prize (if not i will still do it)?

I'd love to do this as soon as the server goes 1.2, if that's okay
It sounds like a really good idea that I'd like to participate in!

This sounds interesting. Can you build your house anywhere in the city (making sure it is placed convinient for the other residents of course) or do you get/buy a specific plot?
