Title: Burj Khalifa. Highest building in the world.
Post by: tylerhan2000 on July 04, 2011, 03:15:15 pm

Hello everyone, my name is Tylerhan2000, and I am planning to build the Burj Khalifa which was always somewhere stuck in my mind.
It is the tallest structure ever to be built in this world and stands at 828 meters, which is around 830 blocks tall. And that would require quite some space to build and such, but after it has been completed,  I think it would make a great hotel for our members.
Here are some screenshots:

That tall?
You got to be kidding me.
We can barely use 198 high.

How do you figure its 1656 blocks tall? Each block is proportionately one cubic meter, so it would only need to be 828 blocks tall.

Don't get your hopes up, this probably won't happen. A crafter would most likely have a better chance at getting to build this.

Its just that the Khalifa has iron pylons that sinks into the bedrock beneath it, thus the double height. but around 830 would do.

We could honestly just have a map called "Dubai" and paste in Morten's hotel, build the Khalifa and the palm islands :/

yep :D I even built a huge hotel in tallart, The reason I want 830 is to truly give a sense of awe and wonder to the guests who are visiting and stopping by.

I am not particulary amazed by your building skills. the one in the showcase is over due, you promised to finish the inside of it several months ago. it is soon a subject to removal
