Overview

Venice is a city built around the west portal in revision of 7 of PvE. The design of Venice was inspired by its namesake, the famous canal city of in the northeast of Italy (Wikipedia). The build is punctuated by a network of canals and numerous other water features. Buildings are predominantly brick and stone and limited to two or three storeys. Use of cobble is discouraged.

Sights

Town Hall

The Town Hall was built by coggas. It was one of the first buildings to go up and set the tone of the town.

Station

The station was built by emptyafternoon, with the CARTS system built by WaterSlide and much of the rail constructed by Darco residents.

Storage Area

The storage area was built by coggas and emptyafternoon.

The_Technocrat retrofitted the enchanting area to be adjustable using sticky pistons, with totemo consulting on compacting the redstone. The Venice Slime Grinder transports live slimes to the storage area. As the Venice Skeleton Grinder is above the slime chunks, grinding for XP there is the best way to encourage slimes to spawn.

Library

The Venice Library was built by Mrloud15.

Slime Grinder

The slime grinder was designed by totemo and several Venice residents contributed labour, including coggas, roborodent and emptyafternoon. Also, non-resident robisONE helped excavate the middle spawning pad. The grinder consists of 3 spawning pads near bedrock in a pair of adjacent slime-spawning chunks underneath the Venice Skeleton Grinder. In fact, grinding at the skeleton grinder is the best way to encourage slimes to spawn. The slimes are split to the smallest size by drowning and are automatically transported to the storage area by a network of water courses and ladders.
