Venetian Gondola Boathouse

Two berths with a shared repair workshop

Two terracotta gables shelter separate narrow black gondolas, with pale entrance frames and timber walks dividing the berths.

The unequal pitched roofs and pale timber gable infill give the boatyard a paired silhouette. The roofs begin behind the front frames, letting a gondola bow project beyond the shelter. Small white bow accents and light wood seats break up the otherwise black hulls.

Three quay fingers separate the two water slots. The center walk reaches the rear brick workshop, with a mostly open, sparsely furnished maintenance floor. A checked route links the center finger through the workshop to the south land opening.

The roofed bays are the main spaces, not rooms beneath an accessible upstairs floor. The workshop cutaway removes the roof and high walls to show the two slim hulls, dividing pier and rear cross-workspace together.

Fit and import

1. Allow 29 blocks across, 25 from canal to land and 18 in height. The berth mouths face north, toward local Z0; the rear workshop is at Z19–24.
2. The quay walking surfaces finish at local Y4. The central finger occupies X12–15, with outer fingers at X0–3 and X25–28.
3. Prepare the canal yourself: no water is included. The block-built gondolas rest on timber work cradles at Y0, with their lower hulls above them. Keep both approaches open rather than closing the mouths with added quay walls.
4. The download is a Sponge v2 .schem encoded with Minecraft Java DataVersion 3463 (1.20). Native import and gameplay compatibility have not been tested.

Choose an available file above and complete its protected download. Follow the import guide for your tool, start in a backup world and inspect the paste origin before placing the build.

The gondolas are fixed blocks, not rideable boat entities. There is no accessible upper-storey room, moving boat system or tested water-flow setup. Route checks are source-based, not native gameplay tests.
