Chichen Itza Builder 2

Quickstart

1. Gather sandstone, chiseled sandstone, smooth sandstone, and a nether star.
2. Craft the Chichen Itza 2 block at a crafting table:

1. Find a large, open flat area — the build needs roughly a 153×153 block footprint of clear space.
2. Place the block anywhere in your world.
3. The area around it will immediately be levelled to a flat grass plane, and a 10-second countdown begins.
4. Stand back and watch El Castillo rise.

Overview

Chichen Itza 2 is a single-use builder block that automatically constructs a large, faithful replica of El Castillo — the iconic stepped pyramid of Chichén Itzá — directly in your world. Place the block, wait ten seconds, and the pyramid builds itself before the block removes itself entirely. The result is a permanent structure you can explore, climb, and build inside.

How To Use

1. Craft the Chichen Itza 2 block (see Quickstart).
2. Choose your site. The mod clears a wide radius around the placement point down to a flat grass layer, so pick a location where you don't mind the surrounding terrain being reshaped.
3. Place the block. The clearing sequence runs immediately and a 10-second countdown begins. The block glows faintly while active.
4. Wait. The pyramid is built in phases — base, tiers, staircases, then the summit temple — before the builder block removes itself.
5. Explore. Once complete, the structure is a permanent part of your world. Climb the staircases to the summit, step inside the temple, or use it as a centrepiece for your build.

Warning: The builder clears everything above and below the grass plane within its range. Do not place it near structures you want to keep.

Abilities And Mechanics

Terrain Clearing

When placed, the block flattens the surrounding area to a uniform grass surface. A layer of dirt sits underneath and all blocks above are replaced with air, giving the pyramid a clean, unobstructed base.

Countdown

A 10-second countdown runs after placement before construction begins. The block cannot be mined or destroyed by explosions, so once placed it will always complete its sequence.

Pyramid Construction

The nine-tier pyramid is built with a hollow interior shell — the exterior walls are solid and several blocks thick, but the core is empty — reducing the total number of placed blocks while maintaining a fully solid appearance from outside.

Staircases

All four cardinal faces have a wide staircase running from ground level up to the summit platform. Each staircase is:

• 9 blocks wide
• Flanked by side rails
• Equipped with an extended approach at the base so the bottom steps are clearly visible
• Fully exposed from ground to summit — no steps are buried within the pyramid body

Summit Temple

The top platform is wide enough to walk around the temple comfortably. The temple itself features:

• Framed doorway entrances on the cardinal faces
• Corner pilasters for decoration
• A one-block overhanging cornice around the exterior
• A stepped roofline
• A fully enterable hollow interior

Orientation

The staircases and temple entrances always orient consistently relative to the player's position when the block is placed, so the front face will always face a predictable direction.

Crafting And Obtaining

The Chichen Itza 2 block is crafted at a crafting table. It yields one block per craft and is consumed when used (it removes itself after building).

The recipe unlocks automatically once you have sandstone, chiseled sandstone, smooth sandstone, and a nether star in your inventory.

Progression And Strategy

• Nether star requirement means you must defeat the Wither before you can build the pyramid — making this a late-game landmark reward.
• The pyramid is entirely inert after construction; it holds no mobs, loot, or special mechanics — it is purely a large decorative structure and exploration space.
• Because the builder flattens a large area, consider placing it in a desert or open plains biome where terrain disruption is least impactful.
• The hollow interior of each tier means there is significant enclosed space inside the pyramid walls that you can excavate and repurpose for rooms, storage, or hidden passages.
• The enterable summit temple makes an excellent base, lookout tower, or throne room once the pyramid is complete.
