How to install Minecraft Maps on Java Edition

Relictis, a city lost in time. Deserted many ages ago, a gloomy reminder of an ancient civilisation stands, worn by time, taken by sand. Finally, steve had found a shelter from the relentless sun. However, he'd soon find out that this ruined city is devoid of water. So, how sad it may sound, Steve had to move on and, just like the ancient people who dwelmed the sacred buildings, he had to leave the city, in his search of water, fighting to stay alive. And so the city returned to its ethernal rest.

As to the building progress of this project, I just wanted to try something new. I wanted to move away from the usual classic or medieval buildings and try a new style. I saw that Minecraft lacks oriental buildings and so came the idea for a minaret. I built it, but felt it was pretty lonely, so I made a temple, next a broken wall with arches, a shrine, and at last two (or three) other buildings. I do like the end result, and hope you do as well.

Not bad for something made entirely of sandstone. Good job! :)

Hmmm...
Quite nice ruins and such, looks nice random made. It blends well, maybe to good, with the surroundings.

Good luck with the contest fellow contestant!

Yeah, just like GrayRemnant said, the full sandstone thing wasn't the best idea. However, as soon as I started using other materials, those parts would attract all the attention, and I wasn't too fond of that. I wanted to make carvings rather then mosaic, but even then using other materials would have been a good idea. But these are just afterward thoughts, it's too late already to change things. I forgot to mention I noticed the contest two days before its end, so I am quite content with what I managed to make. I didn't mean for it to win, I know that I'm not the best, but it is good enough to know I'm not the worst with my two-days' build.
I also had a look at your build and I like it. It's an original idea and well executed. I also like the details like those pots and the camels in the background. Unlike me, you did manage to use more than just sandstone ;). To be honest, your build is probably better than mine, so I wish you the same, fellow contestant.

Smart choice & fair enough reasoning.

Thanks for the compliment :-)
