Upon launch of PCB's survival server, a second version of Big City was created to test the now larger palette of blocks available. The most notorious change was the use of naturally generated terrain as opposed to the flat-map of version 1. Several buildings from version 1 were recreated block-by-block, including Kedji's apartment and _andy's skyscraper. Version 2 to date has been the only map to not utilize a grid-style road system. | |||
=== Version 3 === | |||

General displeasure with the terrain used for version 2 lead to the creation of Big City version 3. With the return to flat-map as a terrain, the map was later used as a lobby - the first location new players who entered the server would spawn at. | |||
=== Version 4 === | |||

Whilst version 4 was discarded quite early into its creation, it is worth mentioning due to the switch to a realistic building scale. At the time of its conception, Minecraft was updated to increase the ceiling (the max height to which you can build), thus Big City was restarted to fully utilize this change. | |||
