Wayne’s World 5 (WW5) is a Minecraft World designed to simulate cities, economics, and stability. In pairs, we each designed a city and tried to make it as livable as possible. We included things like renewable energy sources, a stable government, schools, transport, and housing. Later on, as our cities built up livability, we introduced currency, farming, and making resources. All of this has been developed over the past year.

Livability
In our city, Compactia, we are aiming for a high livability rate. We have included houses that are connected together inside a special apartment called a ‘togetherment’. This is because instead of being apart, everyone lives separately but comes together in a community. The houses are also different sizes to cater for different people. We also have a quick and sustainable transport system within each suburb (walking) and across suburbs (solar-powered trains). Compactia also includes a wind turbine to supply renewable energy to the city.
Stability
Wealth
The currency in our world is Red Tulips (ŧ). This is because we can grow these, allowing most cities to have equal wealth. Tulips allow us to buy resources, and even a cryptocurrency called ApmereCoin. We can also buy and sell to other cities, not just the World Bank for negotiable prices. Our city has a tulip farm, where we can store and grow tulips. This currency completely disobeys the saying: “Money doesn’t grow on trees!”. No, money grows on the ground.
Cool Stuff
In our cities, our scores are also based on how much cool stuff we have in our city. Compactia has a range of buildings and structures to offer you a cool experience. We have a waterslide that runs off the edge of a cliff in Everest (another suburb). We have a ginormous rooftop flower garden on our Rainbow Parliament House (which, unfortunately, doesn’t grow red tulips 😥). There is even the Birdseye Observatory which has an amazing view of our Capital suburb, Tookee. Compactia is definitely the coolest city by far.
Inclusivity
Inclusivity is a very important part of any city, as it provides a more connected community. Compactia has many items promoting inclusivity. Our Parliament includes the Aboriginal flag on the front to acknowledge the original owners of the land. We have a rainbow on our Parliament to acknowledge the LGBTQIA+ community. We have a school that caters for every child, and an easy to use transport system.
