This extensive castle was meticulously constructed in survival mode, with each block placed by hand over approximately three months. The build process involved careful terraforming and palette adjustments of the surrounding mountain, with most materials sourced through in-game purchases or donations from other server members.
The interior is largely furnished, though the quality of the bedrooms may vary due to the builder’s fatigue towards the end of the project. The structure boasts impressive dimensions: 329x165x281 blocks enclosed, containing over 510,000 blocks (and over 15 million including air).
A schematic file is provided for easier integration, with terrain and excess blocks removed to optimize performance. Be advised that loading and moving this large build may require significant server resources and adjustments to litematica paste settings.
