How to build Vice City Ocean Drive in Minecraft

Welcome to Leonida. Five pastel Art Deco hotels line Ocean Drive in pink, mint, white, cyan and lavender, each with curved corners, racing stripes, eyebrow ledges and a glowing neon name. Across the street a palm promenade runs along the beach, with umbrellas, a candy-coloured lifeguard tower and a marina where a speedboat waits. A sports car and a classic convertible cruise the strip. Switch to Night or Sunset to see the neon come alive.

Open the interactive 3D plan above to build it one layer at a time: every layer has a numbered top-down plan, a block list and full-screen step-by-step instructions you can tick off as you go. You can also download it for Litematica, WorldEdit or Minecraft Bedrock, or view it in your room in AR.

Building tips

  1. Build one hotel completely, then copy it with different colours. Every hotel uses the same 21 by 11 footprint with rounded front corners of radius 3.
  2. For the curved corners, lay the quarter circle out on the ground first: 3, 3, 2 blocks out from the corner. Stack it straight up; the window rows on the curve are continuous glass, which is the classic Deco wraparound window.
  3. The racing stripes are just the floor bands in a stronger colour where they wrap the corners and sides. Keep the front bands in the body colour so the white eyebrow slabs stand out.
  4. Neon letters are coloured stained glass with a sea lantern directly behind each one. In daylight they look like pastel glass; at night they glow in colour.
  5. Ocean Drive is nine blocks wide with a dashed white centre line. Leave the cars until last so you do not have to build around them.
  6. Palm trunks lean one block toward the sea halfway up. Hang the fronds two or three blocks out and one block down, and tuck brown coconuts under the crown.
  7. The water only needs to be one block deep for the look. Build the marina posts first, then pour the water around them.
