Blog is being discontinued

I've decided to discontinue the blog. It is the bottleneck in the project. I just don't want to write up individual screenshots any longer.

The project is still going, however. Although progress is slow it is getting there. All progress can be viewed on Planet Minecraft.

Part 24: Route 26 and 27

Part 24

How long has it been? 2 months? I had this planned for release since October 2016 but just didn't get around to it until now.

Route 27

Route 27 is the first step into Kanto. It is a long east-west route set on the side of a cliff. 

The route is a mix of ocean, foothills and mountains.

The route is held together with two bridges, staircases and Tohjo Falls to make the route traversable.


Tohjo Falls is a feature on the route that must be navigated to get to the other side. It was built away from the route as that is how caves are now produced. It is a normal cave with coarse dirt walls, floor and ceiling.

Deep inside Tohjo Falls is a broken radio. No idea why.

Tohjo Falls is quite tall as it need to accommodate a waterfall. This will become quite annoying later when the time comes to smooth the exterior to blend into the overworld without comprimising the interior of Tohjo falls too much.

The front wall was quite plain looking so some extra coarse dirt was brushed on to make it more interesting.

With a roof attached you get the mysterious dark glow that caves really require.

Route 26

This route is a north-south route. At the southern end is the route 26/27 intersection and at the northern end is the soon to be constructed Pokemon League reception gate.

The route goes up the side of a mountain. It was constructed in layers to accurately reproduce the route.


Details such as the grass, trees and other vegetation get added as well as buildings.

Once the trees are grown the route can be declared complete.
