(Dimension) The Desolate City

The 20w14infinite snapshot introduced many ideas and concepts unlike anything before seen. Several of the "easter egg" dimensions, such as the bridges and library dimensions, inspired me to think of a dimension consisting entirely of one infinite structure.

Imagine an ancient city suspended in the void. Strange vistas of ornate Escher-esque architecture stretch on for eternity. The original inhabitants have long since vanished, and now only abominations and restless spirits dwell here. A thick shroud of gloom limits vision. Chests full of rare and valuable items await those brave or foolhardy enough to venture to this forsaken place, but so does ruin and death. While the enemies here are rare, they are also horrifying and dangerous beyond measure. Disembodied footsteps wander the empty halls, stalking players and preventing them from ever being sure if they are alone.

Each biome would consist of a single district or complex within the city, including monasteries, libraries, palaces, gardens, and mausoleums. These biomes would be interconnected by a labyrinth of bridges suspended on towering stilts, stretching out in all directions towards the horizon. Navigating the crumbling bridges would be treacherous, and there'd also be hostile mobs capable of knocking you into the void.

As you travel, you may find abandoned lecterns in secluded apertures, presenting cryptic messages hinting at the cause of the desolation, or lore written in indecipherable alien tongues…

    So like a labyrinth city dimension, and it could have several eras of architecture

    I feel like this could be a real minecraft feature, also could we call it the infinite city I feel it sounds better

    Wow, I got chills reading this. This sounds like a great Idea. I feel like maybe in the overworld there could be a chance for rare books to spawn in chests, like in mineshafts, and they could give you a small amount of information about the dimension. And if you find enough books it could tell you how to get to the dimension? Or maybe tell you where the portal thing for the dimension is.

    How you described it made me want them to add it to the game.    10/10

    I really like the vibe you're describing, but does it necessarily have to be a whole new dimension? I feel like a revamp of the End Cities could achieve this well if executed somewhat differently.

    I really like this idea. I think that the portal should be found in villages or in woodland mansions and the creatures there are zombie villagers or illagers and an advancement/achievement for this dimension can be Repopulation: Cure 10 zombie villagers in this dimension.

    i LOVE this idea and while reading this I got a whole picture of it in my head, with a utopia like environment surrounding the cities, but a strange, rather off putting vipe to the cities making them seem to be abandoned out of nowhere like the underwater temples and other things but as if they never left from there, as if… you know what I’m thinking, right? I think this would be fantastic to add to the game. However, there is one issue. This would be amazing in the game but it would take a long time to make happen. Besides that, I think that this new dimension rather than just new structure could completely change how long term players view the game, don’t ya think? Anyway, have a good evening mister genius
