BV Stoneman Temple

Today's BV Schematic Upload is the Stoneman temple. After making souped-up versions of the Vanilla Desert Temple I had to try doing a conversion of the Jungle Temple. We had introduced a new Stoneman custom mob that is skinned with a stonebrick texture. It made sense to convert the mossy cobble into stone brick and make it their lair.

You can find the Stoneman mob both in the wilds and in a few specific structures if you're playing Minecraft with the Blue Vanilla Mod installed.

This was a challenge because I wanted to fit the sublevels into the same footprint as the top level. The entrance to the lower levels is hidden by a piston-activated wall that is triggered by opening a trapped chest. The lower levels are varied in theme with the lowest level being the egg room. This build is important in the Blue Vanilla world as the place where the lifecycle of Stonemen can be seen.

Stonemen are dangerous mobs in part because they are heavy and cannot be knocked back. That means getting pinned against a wall by a few can get you dead pretty quickly. When killed, they drop the rare and valuable chiseled stone block. The egg room contains Stoneman Eggs, which resemble dropped chiseled stonebrick blocks. When hit the eggs turn into Stoneman children. A few more hits and they'll turn into adults, which are less trusting than younger Stonemen and will immediately attack you.
