Newyork (originally named New_York_City and before that, New_York) is a town located at X:-21000;Y:13000. Its goal was to be a semi-scale replica of early 20th-century Manhattan, primarily focused on capturing the architecture and atmosphere of New York City between the 1900s and 1930s. Established by
Taleu on September 19th, 2018, the town was originally constructed on the Betalands server.
History
Founding in BetaLands
Newyork was founded in the BetaLands server on the 19th of September 2018 at 1PM EST by
Taleu (known at the time as Loyalwolf_99), who built the vast majority of the town's buildings. His goal was to recreate the Manhattan landscape, downscaled to fit Minecraft’s block limitations. The initial construction process began in 2018 but faced setbacks, including a server incident in August 2018 when a rogue admin deleted the BetaLands server, which required the city to be rebuilt from scratch.
Taleu, with assistance from
Cooper04226 and many other players, successfully restored and expanded the city over time.
Taleu lost interest in the server in fall 2021 and the city was abandoned soon after. Following the shutdown of Betalands, the town was transferred to RetroMC.
Discovery by the Restored Legacy team
In early November 2024, following a new reward initiative project that was launched by Restored Legacy, New_York_City garnered attention and was explored by
samcraft3,
Vyrvin and
SvGaming234.
Vyrvin contacted the original builders through Discord, who helped the Restored Legacy team in documenting the town.

Notable Structures
- Singer Sewing Machine Building: The first building constructed, serving as Taleu’s home base.
- Liberty Building: Owned by Cooper04226, who acquired it through Betalands' economy. This building stands as his residence.
- Studebaker Building: Constructed by Cooper04226 due to his interest in cars.
- US Steel Corporation Building: Built by Taleu and noted as the largest structure in New_York_City.
- Bank of New York: Added in September 2019 by Taleu.
- New York Stock Exchange: A partially completed project by Taleu.
- The Spire: A one-block-wide dirt tower with a ladder, topped with gold, offering panoramic views of the city.
- Creep'air De York: A café repurposed from an abandoned structure by Cooper04226.
- New York Subway System: Constructed by Taleu with minecart tracks for efficient travel around the city, nearly mirroring the real-life subway in scale.
Current Status
While Newyork is largely abandoned, it has recently garnered attention, reigniting interest from the original builders.
Taleu expressed a desire to resume work on the city after discovering it was successfully transferred to RetroMC. Visitors are asked to respect the original structures as
Taleu reestablishes his presence in the town and finishes claiming it. The town was renamed from New_York_City to Newyork.
