Minecraft Activate the Monument

May 21, 2023 (IST)

I was watching the 9th devlog of Space64 (WIP name) by FireDragon04, and as he talked about activating the doorway by enabling beacons, I thought about Minecraft beacons, and a spin on the Minecraft CTM (Complete the Monument) formula where you activate beacons instead of fetching wool and returning it to the monument. A Minecraft ATM. (Activate the Monument. Hah.)

I’d say the main difference is that loosing a monument key is now impossible, since they don’t exist. This is usually solved by regenerating the keys, or making ways to keep your inventory, or preventing your items from despawning, which is no longer required.

Perhaps it will feel like less of a fetch quest?

I know I want to recreate FireDragon04’s game in Minecraft, at least a general vibe. I’m a fan of Halo, sci-fi, brutalism, and grand buildings. I can just imaging the whole thing as a Complete the Monument Activate the Monument. I even have vague ideas of progression, dungeons, gameplay, grand architecture and the ending in mind.
