About two years ago I tried my hand at remaking the POTCO islands in Minecraft, I didn't get very far. It was simply too much work to do by hand and I couldn't get the islands looking quite right so I quit the project. Last week I found out a way to convert the POTCO models into a Minecraft format and I have begun work again trying to make my idea a reality.
Here is my plan. If all goes to plan I should be ahead of schedule, however so far it has not so I have given myself some time so I can fix the problems that may occur. Keep in mind every time is estimated and I may be ahead or behind it.
Here is what I have done so far, at the moment I am not giving out the steps I accomplish the POTCO conversions as I do not want people potentially stealing my idea. The structures are stone because the program cannot pick blocks based on a texture. Padres and Cuba would be here also but I'm working on getting them to be the right scale.

Please leave feedback on anything, constructive criticism is welcome! PLEASE give feedback on if you think the Minecraft islands are the right scale or not because I have to do that manually!

- Convert all islands to a Minecraft format. (EST. COMPLETION July 1st)
- This includes ~
- Converting and positioning islands correctly (Mirroring if needed, rotating, etc.)
- All islands will not yet be in a position correct to the POTCO ocean.
- This includes ~
- Fix all minor/major problems with the islands (EST. COMPLETION July 17th)
- The process isn't 100% correct, this means ~
- Adding/destroying blocks to be more accurate to the real model.
- Upscaling/downscaling if needed.
- Adding a base so the islands are not floating in the water.
- The process isn't 100% correct, this means ~
- Begin texturing islands. (EST. COMPLETION August 1st)
- This means ~
- Replacing stone with the correct blocks to make the islands look like the POTCO counterpart.
- This means ~
- Begin adding buildings. (EST. COMPLETION ???)
- Release map to public. (EST. COMPLETION ???)
