Diamond Menger Sponge

This is a level 3 Menger Sponge, a straightforward 3D fractal.

I built this on Reddit's public SMP server at c.nerd.nu during the Minecraft Marathon. The marathon was to raise money for the Child's Play charity.

The blocks weren't mined manually of course, but every block was placed manually in approximately four hours.

Minecraft Structure Planer Used?

[TaviRider]

@mikenancy1 Nope, done entirely by hand (with the benefit of the /give command to get the diamond blocks, and a way to teleport around). The Menger Sponge pattern isn't that difficult to follow.

How is this a Sponge???

[TaviRider]

@LordZazan I didn't name it; it's just the name for this kind of 3D fractal. I think the idea is that there's spaces an d hollow parts all the way through it, like a sponge.

[TaviRider]

@livedandletdie Not enough time to do the next level. This was a one-day event.

With holes in it.
