Contents

• Royal temple:
  • Three-tier quartz platform with a grand front staircase, plus a red-and-gold colonnade.
  • Stacked crimson roofs with golden horns at the gable ends and gold ridge lines, a porch with a pediment, and a central tower with a tall gold spire.

  • Three waterfalls and a south dock with two boats.
  • A large arched red bridge across the cove and a smaller one over a courtyard pond.

Pasting

1. Stand at the south-west corner of an empty ocean area at least 300 × 260 blocks.
2. Run //schem load Thai_Temple_Cherry_Blossom_Island.
3. Run //paste, with the player’s y level set so the schematic’s y = 20 lines up with your sea level. The origin offset is 0, so it pastes from the corner.

The south dock and front courtyard face the default viewing direction.

Survival Friendly: The creator of this item has indicated this build is not suitable to be built in Survival mode by the average player.
Reason: No, not realistically

Block count: about 1.44 million non-air blocks is roughly 22,000 stacks. Much of that is terrain, stone and cherry leaves, but the buildings and trees alone are still hundreds of thousands of blocks.

Gold: the temple uses gold blocks heavily, for the spire, roof ridges, horns and the Buddha. Each gold block costs 9 ingots, so a few thousand blocks would mean tens of thousands of ingots. That is far beyond normal survival mining.

Cherry trees: cherry leaves and logs only exist where cherry groves are found, so ~170 trees would need extensive farming.

Other materials: red nether bricks, quartz, lanterns, glass panes and the other decorative blocks add more farming and crafting time.
