The Sakura Peninsula is a major terraforming build east of Silverwhere, solely built by Ravenpuffe. It is for the most part inspired by the Yellowstone Biome in the Minecraft Terralith mod as well as the Yellowstone region itself. The area is roughly 300x300 blocks.
The entire area is littered with geothermal springs and geysers and is encircled by a towering wall with imposing fortifications. It also has an artificial bay that holds hydrothermal features, swimming in said bay not recommended. The higher elevations hold dense forests of conifers, while large potters containing normal sized cherry blossoms are in the lower areas. The most notable areas of the build are Tree-capped Plateau, the Caustic Coastline and the Sakura Bay. There are also multiple builds that are scattered around such as the three Touhou Project statues, the Monument to Drowned and the Underground Agriculture Center.
Before plans
The peninsula was chosen by random chance as Ravenpuffe was accustomed to living in savannah biomes, of which they settled in one during the 1.16 Stresstest. The area used to contain a village and was very hilly, most of which are long gone and unrecognizable. For a long time since at least April of 2021 the area was dominated by a large cherry blossom tree. Planning for the project didn't into come being until around mid-December of 2021.
ConstructionThe tree was eventually scrapped and approximately 90 thousand blocks of calcite was collected for the project. Which is an estimated to be 156 geodes that were mined in 2 trips to the Amplified world. It was also thanks to generous donations of calcite by Thiskal and Lonk that the first parts of the land replacement was completed. Over the course of 6 months, the area was terraformed until construction was dubbed completed on July 11th 2022.
