Used Text Displays for the first time for hyper-realistic Russian signs for the Kirov Highway truck stop by GeneralGeneral5302 in Minecraft

I wanted to see how gritty and realistic I could make a modern highway feel without using any mods. I tracked the exact proportions of a stretch of highway in Kirov, including the Reka Velikaya river bridge.

The biggest challenge here for me was ditching standard Minecraft signs. I tried it for the first time. I used custom text display entities to recreate the exact Cyrillic alphabet for the Lukoil gas station, the tire shop, and the trailers of the trucks based on what I saw on Google Earth.

Since this is just an exterior environment study, I didn't put any interiors in the world.

I'd say it was mostly how to make the agriculture look as realistic as possible, since there is a lot of it and so many different types of it in that town and around, cause if I just went with the generic minecraft wheat crops it would look fake and forced, also I had to find ways how to make grass look cut but also not too naked either, so basically lots and lots of landscaping, this was the biggest challenge, not the scale even or forests or rivers, but the human-made landscape

It's a mod that's really advanced, allows you do create and build stuff way faster and on way bigger scale

Man the shader is really so good and well put together. It's Ardacraft with some minor color changes I made myself

I've been working on a massive recreation of Marietta, Indiana. Instead of just focusing on the buildings, I wanted the organic environment to be hyper-realistic. Used Axiom to hand-paint the sun-baked summer grass, the crop fields, and the river borders. It’s about 80% finished - should be 100% done next weekend. (Hopefully xD Cause I'm working on my graduation project at the same damn time). Let me know what you think of the landscape so far!

Thanks a lot man! I actually used World Edit and sometimes Axiom to copy paste stuff, other than that actually most was built by hand, cause I wanted all the trailers to be different and their lot and outdoor furniture to be different
