Yggdrasil The World Tree.jpg

Yggdrasil is a project that is currently in the planning phases. It will be built by a select team of builders. Here are a list of the statistics of this megabuild based off of calculations and 3d models of the structure.

-Estimated log count will be around 50 double chests.
-If one person was building it, estimated build time would be 4.5 weeks of solid playing.
-The height of the tree from base to tip will be 192 blocks
-The width of the tree(diameter) is planned to be 248 blocks
-If sold, the material value of the tree(not including work time) would be over 1000 diamonds

If you are interested in donating materials to the project or in someway participating in the build, please post on here. All donators will be listed on a board, as well in the video at the completion of project.

The official image album for the project can be found here, and is being maintained by M477h3w1012

Crazy. Just crazy.....



















count me in

[J4Numbers]

Crazy person, will donate what I can when I can, and I shall also be helping the building, by probably taking screenshots and timelapses during production if thats ok.
Posting to imgur and youtube respectively



EDIT:
If things are so dire that everyone gets extremely fed up. I will also offer free amounts of cynicism, and help out if needed

[LS13]

If there is any chance of there being an arctic zone, I will break my vow to never build large structures with ice.

The height of the tree from base to tip will be 192 blocks

I thought it was gonna be 256?
Count me in, I love building on a huge scale

[tanisjihanis]

Impossible for 256. We are starting at ground level, not bedrock ;P

Also, first designs for trunk are here:

It is by layers.

This may be quite important Tanis...
Where's the door?

[tanisjihanis]

It's going to be on the west side. Had difficulties getting that to show up in this

[ItchyNL]

You could save wood if you get rid of the overlapping blocks

[Choiku!]

im gonna start stocking up tons of tools for this project in the treasury so i need to know and approximate date that construction will start

[J4Numbers]

The base has already been flattened out, so its just a matter of waiting for the word go now, also, the chest with my claim on it is restricted, tell me if it's in the way

[Tothewhat]

Tanis I think we already talked about this right? I would love to help, but I can't at the start. Gotta shorten that list before I add anything else.

[ItchyNL]

At the rate i'm working now i should have all the wood by the end of next week!!!!!
If we need it any faster let me know.
I might be asking for some iron soon. I have some reserves but don't know for how long.
I also need some help with getting the wood to the construction site so if there is anyone with some spare time let me know.

Itchy, thats great news. I'll look into finding another person to help with deliveries.

The eventual album for the build,
Youtube playlist may not exist for a while until raw footage and editing software/time are found

[Hytro]

Hey Tanis, as I have said, I would help with logs, so just call me in-game and I we can get it over, it will take a few trips

I can also run things wherever they're needed, I know my way around and I'm fast.

[Ossirian]

If you need anymore wood I have a pine forest on my island in the West Borjan sea you can clear cut.

[J4Numbers]

Levels described on the grid above have all been completed, the current level of the tree is at 107
Major thanks to Hytro for donating 2 whole inventories full of wood

Trunk Part 2

Trunk Part 2.png

This should take us to the current height limit, and the last couple of layers will probably be cut off by that right now. If this is not the case, then please let me know, as I may have miscalculated something.

[LS13]

So im curious as to whats gonna be in the dome. For example, u told me there will be an arctic area, where eill it be?

[Mattybcd]

whoa

[tanisjihanis]

Was planning on having 2 seperate spheres, one of lava inside glass, one of ice and water with a glowstone center. I said the tree itself is in an arctic area. Wasn't planning on having an arctic area within the tree.

The tree will be another city for branchscape perhaps. More housing or somesuch. The point isn't its function so much as GIANT TREE YAY.

[J4Numbers]

Going online in 10 mins, should hopefully get the second part done in 15 mins

[tanisjihanis]

After that, more resource gathering, planning, details and roots till we get updated.

[J4Numbers]

Internet is cut off for minecraft at 10:00 sharp GMT, fair warning

[J4Numbers]

Slight mistake, the straight pieces on the 1st 2 layers on part 2 are 8, not 6

[LS13]

Ok, so whole thing arctic. Cool, didn't get that in game

[tanisjihanis]

Root 1. What do you guys think?
