[Coming Soon] Town of Yareviel

A new town is being built in the southern hemisphere of Republic of Domolas! The Town of Yareviel, which is built on an island, will be found in the next update, which is this Sunday.



The three photos above are the town viewed from different angles. As you can tell, it has many buildings, one which almost touches the clouds. You may also see a LRT line and/or some greenery. Here is a map of the town:

There are many features. The town's buildings up close:

Turn onto Grirecien Avenue and head south until the end of the road, then turn left or right.
OR
Take the southbound Subway Line 2 to Yareviel Station, and exit from the only exit.

In the future, more ways to get to the town will be established, from all directions. Stay tuned~

[Coming Soon] Domolas Branch Line

After more than a month since the first release, the first ever branch line is coming to Republic of Domolas! Domolas Branch Line operates in the Domolas Region, around the Domolas First House. There will be 2 new stations on the line, one of which has the first ever walking transfer (to Grirecien, an existing station). Here's a photo of the line:
Since it is a branch line, it is relatively short. However, it will be extended eventually (see the Trello board). And to clarify, the black line is not a subway line, it is a walking transfer. 
Screenshots are not currently available due to missing map item signboards. 
Fun fact: The route that will appear in the next release (Domolas - Grirecien Bridge) was built within a single day! Stay tuned!

(05-19-2019) A new update on Republic of Domolas

Republic of Domolas has a new update! In this update, there is a new extension of Line 2 towards the newly developed Windfall Region, and many streets that you may have known if you play this map got longer. This includes the newly named Ererralith Street, Main Street in Domolas Region, and many other streets.

Also, you may access the Nether in the map now! Go to the new intersection of Bedrildan and Ererralith to find the Nether Portal Building.

Let's take a look at the new extension of Line 2.
The new part of the line runs next to a line operated by another map partner that will open in autumn 2019 (or later), and you can see a station where that line stops, but not Line 2. You can also see a new street, which is called Windfall Parkway.

At Windfall Valley station and the Domolas First House, there are map item signboards. To make map item signboards in 1.14, see this tutorial.

Here is the Nether Portal Building:
Overworld side
Nether side
There is a subway platform on the Nether side, but it is currently NOT open. Expect it to be open soon!

Check the new update out on PlanetMinecraft!

[Coming Soon] Windfall Valley Station

Windfall Valley is the largest station on the new northward extension of Line 2, and the first station in the map to have map item signboards (including the Domolas Metro logo).
Here's the logo in isolation:

A frequently asked question is how to make the map item signboards in 1.14. Here's how:

  1. Use the MC Map Item Tool, just like you would with earlier versions.
  2. After the file is downloaded, use an NBT editor (like this one) to add a byte property called "locked" and give it a value of 1. OR
  3. Use an ingame cartography table to lock the map.
WARNING: Be careful not to be anywhere near the coordinates (0, 0) while making the signboard.

The station in full:

It is located between two mountains, at a marker you may find on the map if you are lucky.
Stay tuned for the next update, which will come out this Sunday!

[Coming Soon] The Nether in Republic of Domolas

At the newly opened intersection of Bedrildan Avenue and the new Ererralith Street is the very first Nether Portal in the map! The portal is inside the Nether Portal Building, which also connects to a future station destined to open this summer.

On the other side of the Portal, there is a similar building. There is a subway platform in the Nether, but it won't be in use in the next few versions.

Also, part of Ererralith Street is already accessible from Asendamma Station. The street was originally intended to connect the towns of Lerralia and Astorekith, but the plans were changed and the street, which will be extended both east and west in June, now runs parallel to an upcoming subway line stopping at the future station, Astorekith, Asendamma, and another future station, Lerralia. Stay tuned!

(05-02-2019) The second update of Republic of Domolas is here!

The update was originally scheduled for the 5th (which is a Sunday), but it has been advanced 3 days (and I may become inactive for up to 6 months) due to personal reasons.

First, Line 1 has been extended west to a new station called Tigoth, and 3 new stations have been added to this line! You can see them in the desert west of spawn.
Line 1 Extension

Qedriwin station
Kareniel station
Tigoth station
There is also a new route, Line 2, with 2 new stations! Unfortunately, I could not get any screenshots of Line 2. Announcements on stations are also new on Line 2. (They are yet to be added to Line 1.)

The full subway map for this update:


And also in the west are many roads, but the system is currently incomplete, and is expected to be completed this summer if I do not become inactive.

Most of the roads (especially in the west) are named. This may help players avoid confusion when they play the map.

Due to bugs when using command blocks to dispense minecarts at certain platforms, I have invented minecart dispenser signs, used at Grirecien, Kareniel, and Tigoth stations on Line 1, all stations on Line 2, and I will use them on all future stations.

Check it out on PlanetMinecraft!

For more information, see the history page.

Also check the wiki!

WARNING: Since this version is advanced from its original planned release date, it may have bugs that I do not have time to fix.

[Coming Soon] The Line 1 westward extension into the desert

The next update is scheduled for this Sunday, however, it may be delayed up to October due to personal reasons. One of the most spectacular things that will be released next update is the Line 1 westward extension into the western desert, where part of the track is next to a reserved track for the future.

There will be 3 new stations on Line 1 west of its current westbound terminal Domolas, next to the Domolas First House. A road system has also been built in the desert to accompany the subway line. It will be partially complete in the next release, and full completion is anticipated this summer. A picture of the extension is shown below:


The 3 stations will be shown next.

Qedriwin, at (-390, -130):

Kareniel, at (-610, -130):


And Tigoth, the terminal station at (-920, -130):
Stay tuned for the next update, where the first transfer station is also coming!
