"The Castle that lies deep below"
A special build by Hipercreative
A special build by Hipercreative
When I first saw the basalt deltas I knew that one day I'm going to build a castle on one of the bigger lava lakes. My time has finally come, and this is the final result of ~78 in-game days of work that is 26 hours of building in real time! It was a fun "little" project to work on, even if I had to do it completely alone. Please give a diamond if you like what you see, and help me improve my chances to get into the finale! Thanks a lot I really appreciate it! <3
About the build:
- It has a total of 50 accessible rooms / halls / balconies / ect. (not counting the attics which are inaccessible)
- It is mostly built out of the new 1.16 blocks, especially blackstone and it's variants.
- There are a total of 7 mobs in the building.
- There is one clickable sign in the entrance hall.
- I placed approximately 60124 blocks! That's a lot!
Some lore as well:
"Baskion was the Ruler of the Nether for centuries before he dissapeared in the mists. First, he only ruled the Wastes. Later he overcame his elder brother whose name has been long lost to time and captured the Deltas and claimed it as his own. He always wanted to go bigger to claim the whole Nether but his younger brother Basation always stood in his way saying: " A true ruler of the underworld has to live in a castle that scares even the bravest away and lures the unaware inside."
He kept the good advice in his mind and soon he began constructing the massive Dark Castle with hundreds of Piglin slaves. In just five years it was already standing in it's full majesty. Basation was so suprised that he started fearing that his brother might actually manage to conquer the entire Nether, making him lose the control over the Warped Forests. As the years went by Baskion eventually captured all of the five biomes and called himself the "Worthy Ruler of The Underworld", leaving his brother with nothing to rule. One day when Basation was planning to ask his brother for some fighters to attack the Overworld to get new territories, his brother was gone. He dissapeared without a trace leaving his kingdom behind. Basation couldn't live without his brother's support leading to his dissapearance as well soon afterwards. No one knows why and where they went. The Nether hasn't seen a Ruler ever since and probably won't see one in the close future. The only thing that has been left behind them and is still standing is their Dark Castle."
Some other pictues I couldn't fit into the 20 limit :P

TO THE JUDGES!!!
I used the "Depixel 32x32 (formerly Default 32x32)" resourcepack for the images ONLY to reduce the size of the ash particles so you can see things more clearly in the pictures. The pack only changes the resolution but still keeps it all vanilla. I hope that's okay!
