: Yeah, I made it, thing took me 3000+ blocks (since I didn't use stone) of limestone, the thing isn't hollow.

There's a considerable flaw in the pyramid build instructions: it fails to take into account that the corner walls on the upper levels '''cannot be built''' because of path problems. The only way to actually build this is to put temporary floors (described in the section below) or put ramps along the outside. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 21:01, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Pyramid construct?[edit]

The pyramid design that is currently recommended (and given instructions for) seems to focus primarily on making a blocky pyramid.

However, I was able to improve upon the design, which culminated in the construction of this:
