Last time we looked into the best Minecraft castle seeds, and now let’s take a trip into some of the biggest fan-made cities in Minecraft. The drill is the same as previously: you need to download the map (here is the instruction), install some mods if necessary, and insert the seed into your Minecraft client in Creative Mode.

This selection represents two styles of cities: modern metropolis and medieval towns. Some of these constructions have been inspired by the cities from video games, movies and historical places. Others are completely original and have been created using nothing but author’s imagination.
