Due to the limitations of Survival Mode, materials had to be spawned in for building. As this was before multiple maps were available, Big City was located on the same map as the survival area, but located extremely far away from the map spawn point, and accessible via a warp. During this time, there was no definitive way of knowing if materials meant for Big City were being used in players' survival creations.

Whilst version 4 was discarded quite early into its creation, it is worth mentioning due to the switch to a larger building scale. At the time of its conception, Minecraft was updated to increase the maximum build limit, thus Big City was restarted to fully utilize this change.
Whilst version 4 of BigCity was discarded quite early into its creation, it is worth mentioning due to the switch to a larger building scale. This version of BigCity was started to fully utilise Minecraft's newly increased build height limit, which had recently been changed from 128 to 256 blocks.

==== Albrose ====
In progress...
 
==== Central Big City ====
In progress...
 
==== East Shores ====
Coastal region of Big City
 
==== Financial District ====
Located centrally. Contains replicas of multiple skyscrapers primarily used for finance, such as Willis Tower, and parts of the New York World Trade Center complex.
 
==== Monarch Mall ====
In progress...
 
==== SoHo ====
Based on the SoHo districts of London and New York.
 
==== Southbank ====
The riverside area. Named such because it is the riverbank which marks the historic southern edge of Big City. It is in fact the northern bank of the river.
 
==== South Big City ====
Located south of the river. Mostly low rise and suburban development. Currently still in the planning stages. Unlikely to ever be completed due to upcoming Version 6 of Big City.
 
=== Scale and Restrictions ===
The scale in Version 5 of Big City is defined in the rules as a minimum of 5 blocks room height on the lowest 2 floors, and a minimum of 3 blocks room height on all other floors. In practice, the majority of buildings have a 5 block room height throughout. Most buildings have 2 block thick floors/ceilings, although this varies.
 
Throughout the city, builds are required to meet any existing sidewalk, either by the building edge touching the existing sidewalk, extending the sidewalk to meet the building edge, or by inclusion of some kind of garden or other feature between the building edge and the sidewalk.
 
Large roads are not to be edited without permission, although small roads may be edited to suit player's builds.
 
The theme of Big City is a modern city. It should be noted that this does not exclusively mean modern style architecture, rather any building which would not be out of place in a large modern day city. Big City currently takes most of its architectural influences from Australian, North American, and European cities. In particular, Melbourne, London, New York, and Berlin.
