How to build Marina Bay Sands in Minecraft

Singapore's famous skyline hotel: three 57-storey glass towers, each made of two legs that lean together as they rise, topped by the SkyPark, a ship-shaped deck that spans all three towers and juts far out past the end. Up top are the infinity pool along the bay edge, palm trees, white cabanas, a rooftop bar and the observation deck on the cantilever. Below are the glass-roofed shopping podium, the waterfront promenade, the lotus-shaped ArtScience Museum on the bay and a grove of Supertrees from Gardens by the Bay. Spectacular at Night.

Open the interactive 3D plan above to build it one layer at a time: every layer has a numbered top-down plan, a block list and full-screen step-by-step instructions you can tick off as you go. You can also download it for Litematica, WorldEdit or Minecraft Bedrock, or view it in your room in AR.

Building tips

  1. Mark out the three tower footprints first, 13 wide with 11-block gaps. Everything else lines up with them.
  2. Each tower is two legs. The back leg goes straight up; the front leg starts 8 blocks out at the bottom and steps back toward it as it rises until they join about two thirds of the way up. Step it back one block at a time and the lean reads as a smooth curve.
  3. Lay the SkyPark out on the ground first if it helps. It is 88 blocks long, 13 wide in the middle, with a rounded west end and a long pointed cantilever on the east end that sticks out 21 blocks past the last tower.
  4. Build the SkyPark hull as a shell: a solid underside, two rings of white for the sides and a full deck on top. The inside is hidden, so you do not need to fill it.
  5. The infinity pool runs along the bay-side edge with the water right up to the lip. A row of glass below the lip makes the edge look like it disappears.
  6. Supertrees: a thin green trunk, then a funnel of purple glass that opens out at the top. A few glowstone blocks inside each canopy make them glow purple at night.
  7. Put sea lanterns along the SkyPark hull and the promenade, and scatter glowstone just inside the tower glass for lit hotel rooms. Then switch to Night.
