You absolutely need Optifine for it to work properly.

A lot of time and effort was put into building this city. I would love to see it added to the Hall of Fame. Good luck! :)

I added a bit more text to the "why it should be in the HoF" section:


Oh, another thing I think is a unique quality of this build is that I did my best to work with the environment.  A lot of builds will put down a massive sheet of super flat ground to cover up whatever natural hills or forests were there originally, or put a city on a flat 1-tile high platform in the sky.  I've made it an important goal to put my city within a natural environment.  So as much as possible I've tried to use the natural contours of the sea floor to my advantage instead of obliterating it all.

Of course this presents another challenge.  Minecraft oceans are far too shallow for my purposes.  So in order to build bigger, like my downtown dome, I actually had to lower the sea floor.  A good 12-13 blocks too, over a massive area.  Digging that big a hole in the ground is a big undertaking for any project.  But doing it underwater?  Whew. 

But of course that can yield some pretty awesome things.  Like when I was lowering the sea floor I discovered a natural underground ravine.  I opened it up to the sea, evened out some of the rough patches, and turned it into an underwater trench.  It runs right under my downtown dome and I incorporated that into the design.  It is pretty cool I think. :)
