The District

A rooftop night market over a city that never switches off. Everything here is real blocks on the live server.

Night shots

After dark

Captured in game on the live server, with our own optional shaderpack. A vanilla client gets the same city and neon; the wet reflections and lit rain come from the shaderpack.

The city is stacked. Flying traffic up top, the cyan monorail ring under it, the market deck where you spawn, the violet line under the skybridge, and the street with its sixty-one towers at the bottom.

Places

Where to go

  1. The market deck

    Ramen, tea, a fix-it shop, a konbini and BLOOM. Spawn is here, and so are the portals.

  2. The fountain

    It projects the hologram animals: a blue whale, an orca, a dolphin and a jellyfish, circling above the deck.

  3. The koi pond

    Three koi on their own swim paths. Best seen from the rim at night.

  4. The skybridge

    A glass floor between the market and the tower. Look down: the violet line runs underneath.

  5. The Sky Lounge

    At the end of the skybridge, with a hologram city on the table and the towers all around.

  6. The monorail

    Three lines through the buildings. The magenta line stops at Market Station on the north side of the deck.

Night settings

  • /rain on turns on rain for you only. /rain off turns it off again. Your choice is remembered.
  • The city is lit by its own lights, so turn your brightness to whatever you like: the lobby ignores it.
  • Keep "Server Resource Packs" on. Without the pack the District is plain blocks.
