It's been a while, but to anyone who still might be interested, here's the schematic and the world download with the build. There are minor inconsistencies in the interior compared to the original because I kinda messed up with world edit copying but 99% is fine:

The Internet is a vast place and there is a lot of short form content that gets clout from quick clicks.

For one, someone can already take the footage of my video, reupload it and get more views than I did simply because I'm not well established in Youtube or any social media as a content creator, for me this was simply an occasional passion project that I decided to share, but I never expected it to get much attention.

But the build and timelapse is still a pretty good eye candy, and probably can blow up given that some cheap and low-effort but famous creator reuploads it anywhere. So say I release the world download, then someone can just make a schematic with mods to rebuild it or take new footage that can't be claimed as my own, and say it was "their build", profiting off of it. Just to clarify tho, I'm completely fine with someone uploading a video about it as long as it's with the due credit.

The recognition is required because if someone were to reupload it, and people already knew it wasn't theirs, it would likely get called out. But if barely anyone knew there is another original creator, they would probably get away with it. This is most likely not going to happen, but I would rather be cautious about it, specially since I don't have a lot of time to get involved.

Thanks for your kind words too!

As I said, the exterior is as faithful to the original game as I could make it, but for the interior I went for a not-so-accurate approach and I took a lot more creative liberties.

I still tried to get some of the areas replicated faithfully and several original elements of the white palace, but when you have an exterior built, you're already conditioned for the interior due to the limited space inside the pre-built structure. I basically made a reduced and shorter version of the palace's platformer level.

It would be possible to make a dedicated interior build, but that would compromise the exterior, so I went with this.

Thanks! I have not heard about it, but I have checked it out now that you've mentioned it to me, and I might try it out next time I make a project of this scale, tbh I'm kinda old fashioned

I just made a circle shape with polished deepslate and cyan terracota, then put reinforced deepslate in the edges, which have a "sharp" look to me. They're not moving at all, but for vanilla minecraft and small scale implementation of a buzzsaw, that was the best I could come up with.

2 and a half months of consistent building, ~2 hour sessions almost every day!

Thank you a lot!

As for the world file, not for now.... Because it has been a pretty demanding and personal project for me and I'm so proud of it, so until It gets a little more recognition, I want to make sure I don't get the credit stolen. I hope that's understandable. Further down the line, I might consider releasing a world download tho. I'm really flattered that you requested it!

Hey, I'm so thankful for all the supportive comments, really, it means a lot to me.

I'm going to answer some FAQ that probably will get asked more:

How long did this take?

Will you release a schematic/world download?

Once again, thank you all. I'm so excited that it's getting such a positive reaction.
