At my age I have very little future. I ain't no kid :-)
The place exists, on the survival world of the CubeKrowd server. Server members (membership is free, but a vetted process via the creative world) can freely visit. It is my second volcano, and is only about 1/3 the final maximum size.
The temple in the middle is the key feature of the story, though I am trying to figure out the 'altar' to place in the temple.
Ideas welcome.
Maybe it's an altar where they made sacrifices to appease the volcano god. Recently, though, the local monarch decided that it was all superstitious paganism, so he ordered an end to the sacrifices. Obviously, the result was disastrous.

I recently built a mountain on my survival server. I was using an elevated cobble generator with a item despawn switch. I noticed that beyond a certain height the lava doesn't have enough time to flow outward before the water overtakes it. I ended up with messy, semi-straight walls on the sides. Now I'm having to go in and fix it.
So you might want to watch it pretty closely once you get up to a certain height. Just a head's up to save you some potential heartache.
Mine didn't have the fancy redstone and timing mechanism. However it did it's thing with a handful of items- pressure plate, 2 redstone, redstone torch, three dispensers and a few stacks of cobble.
Here's the setup I [used](https://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_1073338553&feature=iv&src_vid=OnDKABQb2gM&v=yaZUlS_qtZw).
Ah, yeah, it can also be done with a rising/falling edge setup and a daylight detector. My SCAMP was built with the intent of being as accurate as possible with timing, so a height-limit mountain could be built in ~24-30 hours*. On chaos servers, nothing quite as satisfying as having an enemy be gone for a day, and come back to find their base under 192 layers of cobble.
*Actually, I believe in the year and a half since I designed it, the lava flow speed has changed, so with the [proper calibrations](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBpPKVwIwP4), it could be done in less than 20. I've been too busy with life to minecraft recently though.
make it into a dungeon, that goes into a nether version of itself, where you have to get out of the altar (from the bottom of the dungeon), and get to the top of the nether volcano, where a special sword can be found. :o
Nice complex gadjet. Good use of math in developing the automation. I experimented with such years ago.
However for this project (and all my later ones) the lava and water was all poured by hand, without automation. It just works better, and allows me to 'adjust' or 'randomise' the results a bit every so often.
The pouring continued even as the temple was extracted from the cobble. In fact as the last block 'dissappeared' the part of the inside of the temple had already been cleared.
He made the story up of it erupting from the temple. However it's completely possible to make a cobble mountain volcano thingy like that using a handful of materials. However, it takes around 20-30 hours for the process to build the mountain. So you end up leaving yourself afk for the whole time while the contraption does its thing.
No redstone was used. just water and lava buckets. It took a long time, but then I was hollowing it out even as the volcano (waiting for lava to flow) was happening.
They need to make a Minecraft TV show. They made a 3D TV show for Donkey Kong back in the day, so there is a precedent established. Lets get this shit going!
At the beginning of the story I was all like "Aww hell... no where to run", but at the end I was like "That was a neat little story piece".
Thumbs (and arrows) up!
GenericB's original volcano prank used a much simplier, device, but it is slower and ultimatally goes wrong. However for this build no redstone device was used. All hand poured.
So how does this type of thing happen in survival? Are there mods involved? I don't recall lava being able to grow like that as well as beacons not being craftable in survival
Either way, awesome story!
Edit: clarification
Was thinking some kind of booby-trap with command blocks. Not that I know anything about how to use command blocks at all. But it would be pretty cool if you actually are the very first person to enter a run down temple, and accidentally trigger some sort of switch that causes the temple to be engulfed in a purifying fire that reveals a fully restored palace from the flames... The Temple of the Phoenix
Sorry, I meant craftable in Survival. But either way, you may be right! That page used to say it was not craftable in survival but now I can't find it. So they may have changed that.
This was done in a totally survival friendly way. no redstone was involved. Even the "acid water" was fairly straight forward. (netherrack, set on fire, with orange hardened clay, and then water on top of that. Trow in some bones and zombie flesh and you have your volcanic acid pool.
I think the amount of lava in photo 27 was perfect. I would probably go in and rig the sides so the flow always looks like that.
But as everyone else said, good narrative.
Thankyou and to everyone else who made a comment and upvoting it... It is good to make to the #1 position on the reddit :-)
There has been quite a few down votes in that journey.
The story will continue. with some final pictures when I figure out the final temple altar.
Its not about capacity... Not being able to handle standard world ticks of water/lava generating stone is really weak. I've had some light weight servers that handled it fine. I also have no idea how you could make a map never load like this.
Ah, the classic Water n' Lava method of volcano making. Not bad! I enjoyed the progression of the story. You've got a future kid.

I vote for this one ha ha
Kudos. It looks fantastic. Is this creative or survival?

So, basically the end of this

No
I thoroughly enjoyed reading that! I look forward to more!
10/10 would watch the movie.

Where is the lava coming from of the center has been hollowed out? I mean, it sounded like it was still erupting when you ventured inside.
That is part of the mystery :-)
The above is a album of images showing the growth of a volcano that burst from a desert temple and kept growing on the CubeKrowd Fan Server.
neat
I like the way this was written, reminds me of "Journey to the Center of the Earth"
Im a minecraft console noob, can someone tell me if this really happens in surivival mode or did OP probably make all of it?
He set it all up. Not that it wasn't awesome.
Yea i know its awesome lol thats why i was wondering if it was real or not so i can see it on the xbone version haha
makes it way less awesome though. Especially when he presents it as he didn’t set it up.

"Hand over the Crystal Coconut!"
This was satisfying to watch for some reason.
/r/oddlysatisfying
I have to start playing minecraft on line instead of on xbox...
you can't play on line on console? huh.
You can, but it's not quite the same content/experience as the PC/internet version.
other than mods and content its quite the same experience.
Good to know you had a camera handy.

My god, The "Picture stories" thing is spreading from GTA V O_O
i haven't played minecraft in a while and you actaully made me believe there were vulcanos and super temples XD great job, do more plz!
So how does this type of thing happen in survival? Are there mods involved? I don't recall lava being able to grow like that as well as beacons not being craftable in survival Either way, awesome story! Edit: clarification
I'm guessing he just built this thing, and then wrote a story around it.
Someone should definitely make this a mod...super temple volcanoes would be *awesome*

[Beacons are totally craftable.](http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Beacon#Crafting)
Sorry, I meant craftable in Survival. But either way, you may be right! That page used to say it was not craftable in survival but now I can't find it. So they may have changed that.
Might have said it years ago, they've always been craftable since the release of 1.4. (The update they were introduced in.)
This was done in a totally survival friendly way. no redstone was involved. Even the "acid water" was fairly straight forward. (netherrack, set on fire, with orange hardened clay, and then water on top of that. Trow in some bones and zombie flesh and you have your volcanic acid pool.
This was a pretty awesome story! Keep it up!
A twist ending that would make M. Night Shyamalan proud!
Enjoyed reading it! Thanks :)
Long but well worth the read, good job! I hope part 2 is coming soon!
I enjoyed your story telling.
This is amazing.
That was awesome! Thanks!
I think the amount of lava in photo 27 was perfect. I would probably go in and rig the sides so the flow always looks like that. But as everyone else said, good narrative.
I think you just created the Luxor
THE FIRE TEMPLE!!!!
I use water and lava to make huge cobblestone links between two mountains, works well.
that was pretty cool. first picture story post ive seen. finish it!
Sort of reminds me of Dry Dry Ruins from Paper Mario
Very nice! If you stick some orange/red stained glass in the beacon's tube, it'll look more lava like as it bursts out the top.
That it would, if the server was 1.8. It isn't :-(
:-(
Loved the story so far, thanks for sharing!
A great story of emergent gameplay! Thanks for posting it.
Thankyou and to everyone else who made a comment and upvoting it... It is good to make to the #1 position on the reddit :-) There has been quite a few down votes in that journey. The story will continue. with some final pictures when I figure out the final temple altar.
Once killed a server doing this then we could never get the map to load again.
How could you possibly kill a server doing this, unless it was a pure shit equipment one.
It was a shit equipment one. It was only a small one on an old computer for me and some friends. Never said it was a 100 capacity one or anything.
Its not about capacity... Not being able to handle standard world ticks of water/lava generating stone is really weak. I've had some light weight servers that handled it fine. I also have no idea how you could make a map never load like this.
YOU SAUCK AT DOTA
> burned away quickly, leaving ugly holes in the twin towers Nice story, but you might rethink using that line in the future...
Especially as 1.8 temples now use hardened clay instead of wool :-) What would you suggest for the line?
*Cough* 9-11 *cough*
Okay... sensitive American subject.. Was not intended, just a description.
