Well, gee-wiz, lets see. This is the part where people say who they are and what they did. So, I’m twigbang, I play Minecraft and I finished a map project for everyone. This is my first public release here on PM. I looked around and saw the same things all over the internet. Cathedrals and castles – everyone one is doing them. I wanted to do something different, on the same subject, but still different. So, I created the antithesis of the cathedral/castle concept, an unholy cathedral.
This was heavily influenced by Id Software’s original Doom series and the custom wads produced by the fan base- very talented people I might add. If you don’t know Doom you are probably very young or you have been living under a rock. Specifically I borrowed ideas from Deus Vult II by Huy Pham, Maps 12 & 21. I was also inspired by what Notux & Circleight have made.
The Unholy Cathedral is my first Fantasy/Surreal genre build. I tried to incorporate as much non euclidian and organic structure as I could. Again, this build is the opposite of the traditional cathedral. Churches should be comforting, but this is weirdly chaotic. Cathedrals are closed & formal, but this is openly dynamic. This build is meant to cause fear & anxiety, to be dark & unfamiliar, to be confusing & disturbing. I took what I already knew and turned it upside-down and inside-out, the results of which is the strangest architecture I’ve ever made or seen.
The landscape is very alien & hellish compared to the green fields of normal Minecraft. The environment is incorporated into architecture intentionally and is just as important as the bricks and mortar itself. I take a less is more approach and believe that the shape of empty space between solid objects is just as important as solid structures themselves. The buildings look alive and seem to grow, writhing and pulsating like an enraged giant monster.
If I did things correctly, this map should play just like a linear Doom level. There is no real point to the map except shock, awe & eye-candy, but there is starting point and exit.
And now some words of caution. This is entirely Doom themed. You may find this a bit too disturbing & perhaps offensive. If you are religiously frustrated and spiritually confused I recommend that you shy away from this. I’m not intentionally condemning or ridiculing any specific religion or culture with this build, but I am confident some of you will be offended. I can not control that and I say; play at your own risk. If, however, you are bold and confident in your existential journey than by all means download this map.
I recommend setting the time to ‘night’ and turning the brightness down to ‘Moody.
You should play on creative to avoid the atmospheric fog effect.
Keep your shotgun loaded and the plasma rifle charged. Look out for Cyberdemons!

I feel this map is evil enough now. I made many detailing changes that make use of the most recent MC release features.
The Unholy Cathedral is finished.

How do you build stuff like this plz tell me!!
It frightens me just a tiny bit, but nonetheless, a job well done!
Most comments are shallow and simple, not just for me, but for everyone. You are right of course about symmetrical repetition.
This project is very, very old - dating back to 1.2.5 when I had just discovered world edit and the copy/rotate/paste function.
But I ran with it none the less. I could have been done better, but nobody as far as I can tell has ever attempted anything like this before and so I didn't worry much about how abstractly my audience felt regarding such a theme.
There is one thing I am proud of. When a person reviews this project and genuinely feels creeped out and forgets it is a Minecraft build they are playing. If I can do that, then my attempt was successful!
True art is emotional. If not, it's not art, rather, just something else to look at for no particular reason.
If I can make something worth downloading then that thing, what ever it is, was worth making. I mean, why do people say they like the color blue? or the taste and smell of well made pizza? Is blue any better than yellow, or pizza any better than crab and lobster?
Thank you Divine, I believe I do understand you.
