LAST WEEK'S THEME: ZOO

Gold

StarTux

What a great build! All of the exhibits were beautifully made and incorporating the underground was a great idea and looked super cool!

Silver

soakitincider

Again, great build using the underground as well. One of the things I really liked here was the fact that the environments were detailed and nice but also they used elevation in them as well.

Bronze

e13plo

Good build but while Silver did amazing adding detail using height and changing the height, here everything seemed a bit flat. Tip! If you don't want to change the elevation because it might not work well, consider adding ferns, grass, tall grass or flowers to spice it up a bit more! Good build though!

Introduction

Thanks to /u/Matt10y for this challenge!

We are going to space today! By using a void world or building very high in the sky, we will be creating space stations. Bring out your inner sci-fi and create a space station that will trick people in believing they are watching Star Wars!

Inspiration

How to create a void world if you don't know

If someone builds something as grand and epic as this, I will be beyond impressed

Schedule (AST)

Sunday, January 22nd 2017: Challenge begins!

Saturday morning, February 4th 2017: Contest is closed. No other submissions will be allowed.

Sunday morning, February 5th 2017 A new challenge and winners are announced in that post!

This is the perfect game for them! Let's think about things they could be used for. Zooming in far away while on a boat or horse, or simply on foot. Maybe they could tell you the health an enemy has remaining, or even an enemy's name.

If nothing else, it would be useful for those of us with a higher render distance.

Maybe they'd be made out of wood and glass. Or something more complicated, like metal and nether quartz. Or even a ghast tear / eye of ender.

A must have for a survival exploration game.

Edit: Wow, so much hate. Just looking for a fun "what if" conversation.
