The Return of the Temple of Notch

Official Pitch: Return of the Temple of Notch

1. Core Concept

Bring back the legendary community creation, "The Temple of Notch," as an official, rare desert or badlands structure that tests players with a classic redstone judgment mechanic.

2. Structure & Mechanics

• The Judgment Chamber: Features a massive, block-built face overlooking a pool of water. Players place a tribute (like a Gold Ingot or Diamond) into a hopper.

• The Randomizer Engine: A hidden redstone circuit processes the offering, triggering one of two outcomes:

  • The Blessing: The face "smiles" (pistons shift), opening a secret vault filled with enchanted books, notch apples, and netherite scrap.

  • The Curse: The face "frowns," opening trapdoors beneath the player that drop them into a pit of obsidian, lava, and husks.

3. Why This Works for Mojang

• Community Nostalgia: Directly honors one of the most famous viral videos in Minecraft history, rewarding long-time players.

• Redstone Mystery: Provides survival players with a mysterious, RNG-based temple interaction built entirely with vanilla redstone components.
