Summary

Unique to this map, it's set inside of another map, under construction. The player will spawn inside a vacant building in Minecraft:Creative mode, with two signs and floating, sparkling arrows pointing towards a Minecraft:chest. Inside the chest are nine copies of a "rule book" item, which contains instructions, giving rules on the competition similar those on the signs.

Behind the chest is a path made of Minecraft:concrete, Minecraft:moss blocks, and Minecraft:concrete powder which leads to a Minecraft:mud brick fountain. outside, where the player may notice that the map is an incomplete, floating island. Behind the fountain is a Minecraft:diorite rock with visible Minecraft:scaffolding and floating Minecraft:cobblestone spelling out Under Construction. A similar installation can be found to the left, next to an unfinished pavilion, behind the path, next to a large, stylized Minecraft:tree, and to the right. Next to the right rock is a large Minecraft:tuff podium, labeled BUILD HERE! and marked with Minecraft:creeper faces. Inside a dotted outline made of Minecraft:yellow concrete and below arrows outlined with Minecraft:sea lanterns, the player will find a Minecraft:beacon powered by Minecraft:blocks of diamond, marked with Minecraft:bamboo signs instructing the player to remove the beacon.

From there, the player is allowed to build whatever they desire.
