Pharaoh's Pyramid Vehicle

Quickstart

1. Craft the Heart of Ra — you need this first:

1. Craft the Mobile Pyramid using the Heart of Ra:

1. Deploy the pyramid — hold the Mobile Pyramid item and right-click the top face of any solid block. The pyramid spawns as a massive 13×13 base, 8-block-tall stepped structure centered on that point. You need a clear 13×13×8 space; the pyramid will refuse to spawn if terrain would clip it.

2. Enter Driver Mode — right-click any block on the pyramid's exterior. You are seated 2 blocks above the base in a fixed driver seat.

3. Steer with WASD at 2.2 blocks/sec. Your current speed and sandstorm cooldown are shown in the action bar. Shift to dismount.

Overview

Pharaoh's Pyramid Vehicle is a rideable, world-reshaping vehicle mod. You craft and deploy a fully realized stepped sandstone pyramid that actually moves across the landscape — flattening terrain ahead of it and rebuilding the ground it passes over. The pyramid carries its own interior pocket dimension, has visual and audio spectacle while in motion, and comes with a suite of special blocks that control its behavior.

What It Adds

All items and blocks are found in the Pharaoh Tech creative tab.

How To Use

Driving the Pyramid

Right-click any exterior block of a deployed pyramid to enter Driver Mode. You sit in a centered, fixed driver seat. While riding:

Your action bar shows drive status, speed, and the remaining sandstorm cooldown in seconds.

The pyramid moves one full block at a time, flattening whatever ground is ahead and cleanly rebuilding the surface it leaves. It will refuse to move into any space that would cause it to clip into terrain, sink underground, or overlap with obstacles.

Toggling Drive Mode with the Heart of Ra

Right-clicking a placed Heart of Ra block while the pyramid is nearby toggles the drive on and off. When drive is offline, the pyramid stays still and you can look around freely without the vehicle moving. A message confirms the current state. This is useful for taking in your surroundings before committing to a direction.

The Eye of Ra — Pocket Home

Right-click the Eye of Ra block on the pyramid's exterior to teleport into a persistent 17×17×12 pocket home dimension linked to your pyramid. This private space persists between sessions.

Inside, you will find a Pyramid Return Portal — right-click it to teleport back and remount directly into the driver seat of your pyramid, ready to drive.

The Pyramid Exit Sign — Topside Access

Right-click the Pyramid Exit Sign block (also found inside the pyramid) to be teleported to the top center of the pyramid on the outside. You are fully dismounted before and after the teleport, so you can walk freely on top of the structure.

Abilities And Mechanics

Sandstorm Burst

Press Space while driving to unleash a Sandstorm Burst. This has a 10-second cooldown, displayed in the action bar.

Mob Shoving

While the pyramid is in motion, any mob caught within its swept path is violently knocked aside. Nothing living can stand in the way of a moving pyramid.

Visual and Audio Effects

A moving pyramid is a spectacle:

• Golden edge glows along the pyramid's corners and ridges
• Lit hieroglyphs that glow on the exterior surface
• Warm chanting sounds that play while in motion
• Drifting sand mote particles swirling around the structure
• Sandstone dust trail kicked up behind it

Crafting And Obtaining

The Heart of Ra is required before you can craft the pyramid itself. Build it first from gold blocks, lapis blocks, and a Nether Star — then use it as the core of the Mobile Pyramid recipe.

Heart of Ra:

Mobile Pyramid:

Both items are also available in the Pharaoh Tech creative tab for quick access in creative mode.

Progression And Strategy

• Gather materials early. The Heart of Ra requires a Nether Star, meaning you must defeat the Wither before deploying a pyramid. Plan your progression accordingly.
• Scout terrain before deploying. The pyramid needs an unobstructed 13×13×8 area. Flat biomes like deserts or plains are ideal launchpads — fitting, thematically.
• Use the Heart of Ra to look around. Toggle drive offline any time you want to survey the area or plan your next route without accidentally moving the pyramid.
• Set up your pocket home. The Eye of Ra pocket dimension is a safe, persistent base. Furnish it, store your gear there, and use the Return Portal to snap back to the driver seat whenever you're ready to move out.
• Use the Exit Sign for rooftop exploration. The top of a 13×13, 8-block-tall pyramid gives excellent visibility. Dismount topside via the Exit Sign to scout ahead, then re-enter to resume driving.
• The pyramid reshapes the world permanently. Be deliberate about where you drive — terrain is flattened as you go, which can be useful for clearing land but destructive if you're near a base or build.
