Description

Once a great queen who mastered the magic of nature was passed, her fellow citizens built the statue of a guardian of her who buried inside with some treasures, and a secret entrance of no one can find to memorize the beloved Her Majesty. Can you pass the queen's trial and find the hidden treasure?

Features:
- Works in 1.15+ ONLY.
- Has a SUPER SECRET ENTRANCE! Only if you please the queen, she will let you in!
- It ONLY OPENS IN DAY! The soul of the queen sleeps, any visitor is not welcomed after sunset.
- No cheat / command used at all. You may even build it with tools in survival.

Updates:
- Improved the maiden's figure.
- Added the 1.15 featured hidden entrance, very likely to be my original concept AFAIK.

Spoilers:
- Really? There is no such an editor function on this site!
- Yeah, stop reading this or watching the video if you wanna find it out yourself!
- Yet you won't do this, I'm sure, and I can't stop myself telling you how it works, if you keep looking for that.
1. Pick up a flower (any kind, like dandelion) and hold it, walk into the statue by the front. If the soul of the queen pleases, she will open the gate for you by commanding the nature around.
2. If the queen does not respond to you, stand still and wait for a while, it is her test on your patience!
(Won't take too long, max 1 min around)

How to import (in vanilla MC):
1. Read the instruction about structure block on wiki.
2. Place the nbt file under {MC directory}/saves/{your world}/generated/minecraft/structures/.
3. Open your world and type: /give @a minecraft:structure_block 1.
4. Load it into your world, relative position = 0,0,0, structure name = file name.
5. Replace the structure block with stone brick and it is done.
6. It is also importable by WorldEdit, or anything supports .nbt files.

Technical:
- Lead will break if loaded by a structure block or you may tweak the door for a better mechanism, which works in night! That is also a 1.15 feature. (I'd better keep it like such, too many spoilers will make it less interesting!).

~ Thanks to BSL shaders for the amazing screenshots.
~ Simple, aye? Pretty Minecraftic anyway, but please endorse if you like my statue or the concept, and have some fun!
~ You won't break anything, will you? :D

This is absolutely beautiful and the redstone door is so cool, i'd never think of using mobs being attracted to open piston doors.
I love it!

Thank you!

Eventually, the secret is revealed, and the queen shall rest in peace.

The pistons are working if I used the button. Can you give insight as to how the trigger worked if the player held an item in the area?

Patience is the key! :))

Well, I know that is kinda unexpected sometimes. I did record like 5 times and pick the shortest one to save everyone's time in watching.

And if you do mind the waiting, there is a better way for that mechanism I have mentioned above in the 'Technical' section. If you get that idea and tweak it, then you will never have to wait, and it will work 24hs in game! I'm not gonna spoil it for anyone else reading this~ I have given a hint to you in the link to Mojang's dev log so you may wanna improve that since you have already found it out using a button. :p

The reason I did not make it so is because structure blocks can't save leads; that is kinda a glitch in vanilla MC.

And the Queen loves nature, present her a flower, not anything else :))

Is there a possibility to just have the way she looks for that to be uploaded for 1.12.2?
cause i love how it looks, but when i try to load it into 1.12.2, it doesn't seem to load anything besides a handful of blocks and moss :(

Thank you for supporting my creation!

By default means of method, it is not possible to downgrade any save / nbt files from 1.3.0+ to 1.2.2- because MC official rewrote the NBT data structure. I think that is the reason why MCEdit is perma-broken too.

It is possible to be batch-edited in JSON format with a mod called NBT Explorer (https://github.com/jaquadro/NBTExplorer) to manually convert new block data to old ones, but it requires some work.

There might be mods somewhere which is technically very possible to revert nbt format, but I haven't found one myself. The last peroid I played MC was about 5 years ago and I updated things recently without such a warning before I realized people called that 'the update that destroys the world'.

Sorry for what I can't help. If you play from 1.3.0+, everything will be fine.
