CURRENTLY WORKING ON A COMPLETE OVERHAUL OF THE METROPOLIS PAGE.

A metropolis is a large city with many large buildings and people. To build one, you probably want to use creative mode. If you can create a metropolis using all the ideas listed here in survival, you are doing very well, so continue testing building.

-Note-

1. When done, you should upload your world to a server, as many ideas are meant for multiplayer.

2. The wiki can only help you, not build it for you. Come up with your own ideas along with those on the page to create a truly epic city.

Getting started
Before you can start building your metropolis, you'll need to find a spot to build it! You'll need lots of flat land and wood, so the best place to build one (in survival) is in a plains biome next to a forest/taiga/jungle biome. In creative, you can instead build your city in a superflat world. Once you have a place to build, the first thing to do is build a single house. Build it just like you normally would. It should contain at least 2 rooms, a bed, a door, and a window.

Interior design
Nobody wants to live in a house without furniture! In every house you build (you should end up building a lot of them) add special furniture. Use pistons or fences with pressure plates for tables, stairs and signs for chairs, and bookshelves to decorate your houses. Try making a computer with an iron block and a painting, plus redstone and a lever to be a mouse.

Becoming a city
At first, you just had a house. Following these steps, one house will become an entire city.

1. Build a new house (don't add furniture)

2. Add a counter made of wood and slabs with a trapdoor to get inside.

3. Spawn/move a Villager behid it.

4. Check his trade. Depending on what it is, put a sign outside of the shop related to his trade. If in creative, you may continue killing the villager until you find a trade you want.

5. Build a gravel/cobblestone road between the two houses. For a more expensive solution, use smooth stone or even obsidian.

6. Build more shops.

7. Make a large, special building. This can be anything from an academy of magic to a zoo.

8. Continue building roads until they all connect.

Stepping it up
Now you have a nice city, but you're nowhere near finished. You should build three special buildings, you can get nice inspiration from the ideas at the bottom of the page.

1. Build a special building

2. Build another special building

3. Build yet another special building.

4. OPTIONAL: Build a fountain in the center of your town.

5. Build a city hall with many rooms and fill it with Villagers (in creative)

6. Connect all of your buildings with a new road

On your own
From this point, we can only give suggestions. A long list of them. Basically, from here, its up to you what to do. You won't get any advice.

City Types

 * Underwater: Build your city in a giant underwater glass dome.


 * Venice: Build your city on top of the water.


 * Sky: Build you city in the sky. Use snow for clouds, make floating islands, and use glass in the street


 * Underground: Should be obvious. Build your city an a cave and hang glowstone from the roof for lights.


 * Jungle Tree: Build your city in houses that wrap around the trunks of the tall trees. Use minecarts on wooden bridges to get around the city.


 * The Nether: Build your city in the Nether, out of Nether Brick


 * The Enderworld: Build your city in the End, out of End Stone and Obsidian


 * Mushroom: Build your city like treetop, except use giant mushrooms instead of jungle trees. Difficult to build


 * Castle: Build a castle in your town and surround the whole city with a big stone wall.

Buildings

 * Airport Build an airport and add a runway for planes use a plane mod or build planes out of wool or iron.


 * Apartments


 * Arcade Build a building and make the walls out of colored wool. Wrap the outside of the wool with obsidian and put iron doors on the front. Inside, build arcade games using iron blocks and paintings


 * Auditorium A place for people to gather and watch something, like a concert, speech, etc. It should be able to seat a lot of people. Can be placed in the Town Hall.


 * Apartments/Hotel Build a tall building out of bricks and fill it up with rooms with a single bed and small chest in each. People rent the rooms for whatever you are using as currency and can store their stuff there and sleep.


 * Bakery Have a building dedicated to selling bread, cookies, and cake! Build a giant model of the Minecraft Cake out of colored wool and have the inside be hollow. Fill it up with "shelves" (wooden planks) with signs on them listing what is on them. At the counter, costumers can order cakes, cookies, and bread. Ship cake in from the cake factory.


 * Bank People go here to store their money. Have a trusted person work there and have vaults deep underground to store their gold and diamonds. Only let the trusted person and the owner of the vault into it. Use piston doors on the vaults that need a special "key" (Lever)


 * Bookstore/Library Fill a shop with bookshelves. Have a librarian villager work there and have authors write in books and quills to buy/borrow. If the building is a library, fine players for not returning a book on time, or damaging it.


 * Cake Factory Build a factory that makes cakes. You could connect it to the bakery. Have a chicken, cow, sugar, and wheat farm under it, with automated egg, sugarcane, and wheat harvesting.


 * Casino Have a big fancy building with minecart slot machines (minecart in, random items out) or pig slot machines (using random pig movements.) Make it out of gold and diamonds.


 * Cemetery Build a cemetery bulding. Make a fence of iron bars, and an iron door to enter. Then add graves inside. Make tombstones out of stone bricks and dig 3 block holes under them. If you have access to a world editing tool, you can place zombie or skeleton spawners under them.


 * Church Have a big building to worship the gods. Build an altar to a god from Cubeaism Minecraft religion.


 * Embassy Make other peoples' voices heard! Build offices that represents another server, a nearby city, or even mobs like testificates, creepers (build walls out of obsidian or they will blow up the rest of your city), or endermen! Also remember to build them next to your city hall.


 * Enderman Art Show Put endermen in a room of blocks they can pickup. After a set amount of days, see how they changed it! Players can bet on certain blocks being moved.


 * Farm Have
