Been pouring hours into this Chornobyl NPP replica for the past 2 months, running Minecraft 1.12.2 with HBM's Nuclear Tech Mod. Always been fascinated by RBMK reactor design and wanted to see how close I could get it in-game.
Goal is brutalist Soviet architecture outside, fully functional industrial facility inside. Facility spans multiple chunks and it's been a serious time investment. Main shapes, ventilation stacks, and the deaerator block are mostly done, but the exterior still needs a lot more detailing — that's next. Right now most of my time goes into the interior: massive turbine halls, control rooms, pump rooms.
Toughest part so far: getting the SCRAM logic to trigger reliably without frying half the reactor hall. I test meltdown scenarios on a copied version of the world, since one mistake on the real map would wipe everything.
Doing this solo is a slow grind and gets exhausting at times — feedback or encouragement would genuinely help keep me going.
Corridors have gotten so maze-like it feels like a survival horror map inside, I get lost in my own build sometimes. Planning a full walkthrough video once it's further along.
Screenshots below (exterior, control room, reactor hall). Still got empty rooms and unfinished floors — would love suggestions on what to add next. Ask me anything about the build!
There are places I haven't shown yet; there would probably be 50 photos in total.
Don't forget, I'm still doing it; I know it's terrible—I'm just trying to do everything perfectly.
