Underground Temple

I found a new area where I loved the way the outside looked and didn’t want to tear it down and ruin it.  So underground I went!  The entrance is pretty subdued.

Once inside the first room is a raised area over water with a platform in the middle.  It was heavily inspired by a survival map I downloaded called “Sun Temple”.

Once you go down the next hallway you have the choice of going straight or right.  If you go right there is another fork, left going up and right going down. If you go left, you find yourself in this little room.

If you take the right fork and go down, you find yourself in a maze which ends at a dead end…or does it?  With a flick of a switch, a door opens behind you and you can continue.

And then you find yourself at the shrine of the death walker!  Lava included!

Now back to the straight path.  After three very long stairways down the ground opens up to the underground temple!  I had to build this entire thing in single player to know exactly how deep I had to dig the area.  Luckily there was a huge open cavern running right through the area so carving it out took a little less time.  The glow at the top is due to me punching four holes all the way to the surface to give just the top some natural light.  I think it turned out to be a nice effect.
