Diamond Cathedral was a build on the Survival 5 world of the Dogcraft Server by 20.png kusttra.

About

My goal on Sur5 was to build my scale LEGO House, but to do so I needed very large amounts of wool. While that wool was generating, I expanded my base quite a lot. At some point, though, I needed to find another large project that was in the vicinity of my wool farm. Additionally, I had collected a load of deepslate that was just taking up room in my bulk storage. With those combined things, I decided to build a large fortified structure, and thus the Diamond Cathedral was born.

History

I first built the outer walls and turrets - at this point I hadn't decided what the build would actually be. After much hunting for different depictions of fortified structures online, I found some really impressive designs for fantasy cathedrals. Additionally, as the build was on the cliff overlooking my base, I really liked how the height would stand above everything else.

After adding in the full structure of the cathedral, I though it would be interesting to really take advantage of the new spawning rules in 1.18 (at the time), and light the entire building with the least amount of candles I could manage. It lends it a very moody feeling that I find quite appropriate. Lastly, I decided to add some outbuildings - a barracks for guards, a couple storage buildings, a couple residences and an inn. Unfortunately, I was pulled away from the server for quite a while before I could finish these structures. With the impending end of the server, I decided to jump back on and finish up what I could. I finished the outer structure, but there wasn't time to add interiors to these buildings.
