International Space Station is a Minecraft:Marketplace map themed around the real life International Space Station.
Summary
Players spawn inside a room, cradled with a Minecraft:chest and several Minecraft:stained glass windows, showing the Minecraft:void. In the player's Minecraft:inventory is a book, ISS Field Manual by Dr. Ed Yukator. Behind the chest is a Minecraft:sign, inviting the player into the ISS. Passing through an Minecraft:iron door, players will enter a bizarre room, with many floating Minecraft:levers, Minecraft:buttons, Minecraft:iron bars, and Minecraft:nether brick fences. At the end of the hall are several Minecraft:paintings with Minecraft:iron trapdoors, representing monitors, and behind those a door with a split path. Due to the space station's lack of gravity, however, the path is split vertically and horizontally.
Dropping down through an Minecraft:oak trapdoor surrounded by Minecraft:smooth stone slabs, players will fall down a long tunnel into a chamber made of quartz, with Minecraft:sea lanterns at the bottom. A similar room lies above the entrance. The horizontal path is a hallway lined with Minecraft:blocks of iron and iron trapdoors, leading to a door of Minecraft:green terracotta, with a similar splitting path. In this vertical path are more "monitors" and redstone blocks, such as Minecraft:daylight detectors and Minecraft:redstone repeater, and beyond that a wider chamber. To the right of this room is an airlock, marked by a sign, consisting of a Minecraft:polished andesite Minecraft:piston door, and near it is another vertical room in the floor. This one is much wider, with many "machines" such as nether brick fences and added Minecraft:light blue carpets.
To the left of the room is a hallway with items such as Minecraft:ladders and Minecraft:pressure plates, leading to a window in the floor marked with Minecraft:blocks of lapis lazuli and Minecraft:white wool. Straight through the preceeding chamber is a fourth path, into a similarly wide room with a door made of Minecraft:cyan wool with blue carpets. Inside is a slightly raised section with green carpets, a wall of birch fences, monitors, levers, and bars. At the end is another wide door lined with blue carpets, with two iron doors leading nowhere installed in the walls, and three more paths. The right path, the Columbus Module, is identified by a Minecraft:tripwire hook, and represents a named laboratory in the real space station, with several Minecraft:item frames and colored wool at the end. The left path is another long hall with floating blocks. Heading straight, Hatch to NASA Shuttle, serving as another exit, this time using an iron door.
