Minecraft Make a Machine: The Biome Rocket

Our idea was to make a biome rocket.  On the outside it looks like a rocket with an elevator inside.  In the biome rocket we put different levels of different environments. On the outside it looks like a rocket but on the inside it's an amazing biome rocket with a water elevator on the inside of the entrance.

Level 1 - it has a desert and ocean environment.  We put in cactus, sand and little hills.  We used a lot of different textures in the ocean and put in fish.

Level 2 - we have a snow and jungle biome.  There is an igloo.

Level 3 - has a plains and futuristic environment.  There is an automatic watermelon farm.  When the watermelon grows there’s like a dispenser that destroys and takes the watermelon slices into a chest (so you can eat it).

We made this so people can experience what it would be like to live in different environments.

In the futuristic zone there is a teleportation, if you walk into the room where the treasure is you get teleported to a secret underground destination.  If you try and walk into the house to escape you get teleported back.

We all enjoyed making our biome rocket.
