Shioh Shogunate A Japanese inspired map for Minecraft

Review Shioh Shogunate A Japanese inspired map

The Shioh Shogunate map is a Japanese-inspired world filled with a large variety of lush biomes located in Japan.


The Shioh Shogunate started off as a quick template creative world using the Terralith data pack a year ago to build a house from a tutorial video made by the Japanese architect, @Freedom_minecraft. I got very invested in his tutorial videos and continued to build more and more until I went through the last of his videos. It was at that moment I started to build houses myself using his style.


I am a huge consumer of oriental culture, mythology, and history. And Japan is by far my favorite of the cultures I've explored. I’m an illustrator attending uni currently working on a long-term graphic novel based on Akira Kurosawa’s 1954 Seven Samurai. In fact, this world is often used as a reference tool for setting up scenes and perspectives.


This world is a non-profit, passion project that I continue to work on for as long as id like. If you’ve gotten this far, please check out the non-associated creators below that have provided me with textures, schematics, and building references.


This world includes

-3 Different factions with their own distinct castles and fortifications.
-2 Major cities.
-Dozens of villages
-Shinto Shrines and Hot Springs scattered across the island.
-Two hidden pathways to the Nether Yomi
-Several biome variations and landmarks with modified grass/leaves color (No mods).

I put in hundreds of hours of work not just in the game but in other programs to make this world what it is.


Please be sure to download the Resource Pack I use personally to view this world in its intended vision. The resource pack includes changes such as desaturated hay, red crimson wooden blocks, darker spruce wooden blocks, pampa grass lilac, customized paintings, brown acacia trapdoors(important), weapon and armor changes, and many more! Important noting that this resource pack is NOT a fully original texture pack, it is simply the texture pack I used while making this world, it contains item and block textures made by multiple different creators who posted their work on this site. I do not take credit for their work.
