Verification details

No revision-bound verification record is currently published for this build.

A 3D preview shows appearance, not game behavior. Bedrock conversion and Litematica compatibility are not verified unless separately recorded.

Quick Start

Climb the complete exterior route from the north forecourt to the summit shrine. The terraces interpret Mesopotamian architecture rather than claiming an exact reconstruction of Ur.

  1. 1

    Start at the north front

    Place the foundation at ground level. The central staircase and its two converging side flights face north.

  2. 2

    Reach the middle terrace

    Climb the central flight to the first deck, turn east, then climb the next stair beside the middle terrace.

  3. 3

    Visit the summit shrine

    Cross the middle deck to the west side and use the east-rising summit stair. Walk around the north side of the summit terrace and enter the blue shrine.
