No, I haven't. I'll have to learn how to do that. Most of the Mods I would like to install aren't for my version of minecraft, (no Idea how to switch versions).
Detroit Zoo in Minecraft [WIP]
- Thread starter Bisonblake
- Start date
You can't swap versions, you have to buy the other version if you want it, also I think Twitch might only work for Java, so if you're on Bedrock i guess you're out of luck, although if you're on Pocket Edition you could just download an addon app from the app store and just add it to your
Minecraft world.
Im on Java. Its alright, I'm making progress on my normal minecraft animal zoo so thats alright.
I think it's about time that I share an update, as it has been quite some time since the last one.
First off, I have started to re-outline the front of the zoo. So far, I'm proud of the way it's looking. Obviously, there is a lot more outlining left to do
Outlining does get pretty boring after a while, so as you can see I started to work on the Wildlife Interpretive Gallery.
I love the way this came out to look and hoping the rest of the zoo looks just as good. The inside of the gallery has not been touched a lot, but it will be the next thing to be worked on, as well as the entrance to the zoo. Here's a picture of the old wildlife interpretive gallery so you can compare the two.

Well, it's been almost two years since I made a post on this thread. I did not forget about this thread, I've just lost a lot of motivation to build. Progress has been very slow. Anyways, here are some updates about what's happened since last February.
A majority of the area around the entrance has been completed. It may not be completely obvious, but the outlines have been changed a little bit. My outlines in the last update were angled which was a wrong measurement on my part. Those have been corrected. The newest completions are the main entrance (including the gift shop, ticket booths, and restrooms), Polk Penguin Conservation Center, and the old penguinarium. The train station has been mostly completed.
Here is an overhead view of the same area in the old build so all of you can see what changes were made:
Biggest Improvements:
The Polk Penguin Conservation Center has made some drastic improvements. The triangular architecture is more noticeable than in the last build. The detailing on the exterior was also improved by alternating between quartz and smooth quartz blocks (the color difference between blocks is minuscule but it's enough to add some detail).
The former penguinarium has also had some improvements. The building did increase in size a little bit and the roof has a smoother slope. Now that I'm not using the texture pack I used in the last build, I had to find a replacement for the bricks of the building. I chose to alternate between smooth sandstone and endstone bricks as this was the closest match I could come up with.
What's next:

- The paths have been changed to a darker gray color
- Measurements have been improved to be more accurate.

What's next:
- Landscaping needs to be done everywhere.
- The train station needs to be completed, including the pond/fountain, and tracks.
- The restroom near the Polk Penguin Conservation Center.
- After those three points are completed I will start moving toward the National Amphibian Conservation Center and the Cotton Family Wetlands.
- The parking lots do need to be completed, but I am debating with myself if I want to do it now or wait until the entire zoo is finished (that was my original plan for the last build).

Unfortunately, I've barely done any work on this over the past two 1/2 years. I've done some work, including custom trees and more stuff around the entrance, but not enough to post an update IMO. Since I first started this project, I have gone through four years of college, graduated, and moved on to other stuff that I'm more interested in. I have had thoughts about jumping back into this, but the difference between where I'm at on the new world and where I was on the old world just kind of intimidates me. I had 80-90% built on the old world before I decided to restart.
I would love to jump back in, but I don't want to make any promises. I have an idea of how I can keep myself from getting overstimulated from everything that needs to be done, but first I need to find enough time for myself to sit down and work on it.
