Concept Overview & Architectural Design

A monumental stone fortress featuring pointed Gothic arches, ribbed ceiling vaults, exterior flying buttresses, and tall stained-glass lancet windows.

Step-by-Step Structural Guide

  • Lay a symmetrical Latin cross foundation ($25times45$ blocks) using deepslate tiles and cobblestone.

  • Erect vertical load-bearing pillars along the exterior nave spaced 4 blocks apart using stone brick walls and polished andesite.

  • Construct exterior flying buttresses that arch out 3 blocks from the main wall, anchoring into heavy exterior support piers.

  • Fill wall bays with tall, 2-block-wide lancet windows using black, royal blue, and magenta stained glass panes.

  • Crown the nave with a steep, pitched roof using dark prismarine or oxidized cut copper stairs with a 1-block overhang.

  • Add an elevated bell tower with open arches holding a suspended bell and decorative end rods.
