## Description

A landmark you can see from the sea. Three-block stripes of white and red concrete rise to a smooth stone gallery with a slab railing, and a glass lantern room holds a glowstone core that stays lit all night.

## Materials

| Block | Count |
| --- | ---: |
| White Concrete | 190 |
| Red Concrete | 160 |
| Stone Bricks | 97 |
| Smooth Stone | 68 |
| Smooth Stone Slab | 32 |
| Glass | 30 |
| Ladder | 22 |
| Glowstone | 3 |
| Lantern | 1 |
| Spruce Door | 1 |

## Build steps

1. Base: Place a stone brick circle 11 blocks wide.
2. Striped tower: Build a hollow circle 7 blocks wide, alternating three layers of white concrete and three of red, up to 21 blocks.
3. Gallery: Cap the tower with a solid smooth stone circle 9 blocks wide and add a ring of smooth stone slabs around its edge.
4. Lamp room: In the centre, build a 3 by 3 glass box three blocks tall with a glowstone column in the middle, then a red concrete cap and a lantern on top.
5. Access: Add a door at the base and a ladder inside against the back wall up to the gallery.

## Tips

- Build on a small island or the end of a pier.
- Glowstone gives light level 15 and never needs power.
- Add a few windows on the way up so the ladder climb is lit.
