Building the San Magnolia Military HQ in Minecraft. My 1:1 scale interpretation based on visual material from 86: Eighty-Six.

I'm currently working on a long-term project to recreate the Republic of San Magnolia at a 1:1 scale in Minecraft. This is my progress so far on the Military HQ (the Palace of Blancneige) and the Gran Mur. (It may have some errors, but I will try to correct them).

A few important notes on the project:

  • 100% Vanilla Minecraft: This is being built in Minecraft Java without mods, so while I'm aiming for maximum fidelity, it won’t be 100% pixel-perfect due to block limitations.
  • Scale & Interpretation: The build is based on my own interpretation of visual material from the anime and descriptions from the light novels. I used average human height (via armor stands) to calculate the 1:1 proportions for the HQ.
  • The Gran Mur: The section of the wall you see in the background is currently in a temporary position. It serves as the finalized design template, which I will later duplicate and extend to cover the vast distances required for the Republic's borders.
  • Survival Friendly: I used warped wood for the roofs to ensure the complex is fireproof and survival-ready, allowing for lightning rods without risk.

I need your help! I've finished the main facade and the side wings, but I still have many questions regarding the internal layout and how the rest of the complex is divided. If anyone has references, floor plans, or ideas on how the back of the Palace is structured, I'd love to hear them! :)
