LAST WEEK'S THEME: FACTORY

Gold

KingKowen

Great use of colour in this build! It's made to look like candy or sugar and it does the job! The machines and the assembly lines had enough detail so that we knew exactly what they did and their function and it looked good too. Just one small criticism is that the outside of the building seemed a little plain with the one block type. But still, great build!

Silver

abrightmoore

Not at all what I expected but I still loved it! It was a really neat take on the challenge and I loved the story of how the worlds are being made and the way that all the colours on the planets blended together looked really neat. The only criticism is that station itself was a little bland on the outside. Maybe another layer on the side would give it a bit more depth and look better?

Bronze

EveGiggle

Another really neat build. Loved the use of conveyor belts and how he used different blocks to represent different stages of the cooling process. Liked the colour too, the only problem was the use of stone for the floor and the walkways outside. It made the build, especially the outside, look really bland. A better floor pattern or the use of another block outside would have given it a better feel.

Honourable mentions

Introduction

The pyramids, the hanging gardens…

These are but two of the wonders of the world! This time, we will be recreating these amazing structures in our worlds! Are you ready to inspire people? Maybe your build will be a wonder of minecraft someday! Let's see!

Inspiration

The seven wonders

Easy Mode: Look at the inspiration image. This contains the seven wonders. You must build one of these wonders. Recreate it either in our time (if you can), the time it was in its prime or during its building process. Please specify which wonder it is.

Hard Mode: All mentioned above however….

Look at the image of whatever wonder you chose. After you build it and take screenshots of it, you must take a screenshot of the wonder which matches the image of it in the inspiration.
