MCity — SimCity meets Minecraft
Build and manage your own city, right inside Minecraft.
MCity transforms Minecraft into a city-building simulation inspired by SimCity and Cities: Skylines. Place roads, zone neighborhoods, manage infrastructure, and watch your city grow — all from a free-roaming overhead camera.
Features

- Draw roads to open up buildable land
- Zone tiles as Residential, Commercial, or Industrial

Full Editing Tools
- Select, move, rotate, and delete placed structures
- Undo support via block state tracking
- Persistent world saves (your city survives server restarts)
Early Alpha
This mod is in very early alpha. Core mechanics are functional but expect rough edges. Planned for the future:
- Commercial & Industrial building spawns
- Advanced economy and budget management
- Services (fire, police, health, education)
- Traffic & citizen simulation (The Sims-inspired)
- Much more...
