Review Kansas City and Beyond

Kansas City and Beyond: Kansas City in Minecraft

How many major cities have you ever seen in Minecraft? Perhaps you have already visited New York if you follow the release of custom maps, but this is just an example. But now you can download a map called Kansas City and Beyond, which recreates the downtown of Kansas City. The designer has tried to place exactly those buildings present in the real world, but there have also been certain changes and deviations from the initial plan in terms of both the exterior and interior design.

This map features just a huge number of multi-story buildings, and the well-known ones have been decorated better — at least their upper floors. There are a large number of malls on the streets, differing in various details and elements. The designer plans to expand his city in the future, and the recent version was released earlier this year.

Overview of Kansas City

We will not describe this location in detail since a picture is worth a thousand words, and you can already see for yourself how cool the designer has conveyed the atmosphere of this large city. Most of the buildings here are high-rise ones, differing in terms of design, interior, and exterior. The overall style of Kansas City has been preserved, although it looks somehow unfinished and not quite modern in certain respects. So if you are looking for a perfect modern in-game city, New York will certainly suit you better.

Earlier, we uploaded a map with a city called NEXCity XI, which can also be called a mega-city. We recommend you take a look at it if you are interested in such options for Minecraft. As for Kansas City, it can boast quite a lot of interesting buildings, such as shopping malls with their unique structure and interior design, cafes, restaurants, industrial facilities, and shops, both large and small. In general, things are humming there, but to notice this, you will have to populate the city.

Indeed, by default, there are no residents and NPCs in this location, and to make the city seem alive, we recommend spawning mobs there. However, there are problems with lighting, as you can see in the screenshots below. This causes a large number of hostile mobs to appear, each of which is ready to attack you at any time. This is the problem of most megacities, though and designers often simply ignore this point (because they do not have enough time, have no desire, or it is necessary for them to think over the interior design).

By the way, there are really beautiful structures in terms of interior design that are interesting both inside and outside. However, for the most part, the city buildings are empty inside, so you will have to refine many points yourself to get something high-quality and interesting. Here you have a great opportunity to show your skill, design a high-quality interior of any structure, and just practice. Even if you fail, you will be able to download the map again and start decorating the city from scratch.

One of the most interesting features of Kansas City is the signs on all the buildings and roads. That is, you can walk along any highway, and before a turn, you will see where these roads lead. This is very convenient, as you can explore the city in this way, create a full-fledged city life simulator, and just enjoy the process. The structures are indeed numerous, and to explore the entire city, you will have to spend long hours.

The Kansas City and Beyond map is a great Minecraft mega-city option, the designer of which has created a basis capable of being modified by any player as they see fit. Some might say that the city is too regular, and not without reason. But any large city is basically such. So be sure to download the map, leave your feedback, and suggest other interesting city options that still lack descriptions.
