Whenever we were building the Taj Mahal, if we do not measure and plan carefully, our building might turn out to be crooked in one part while the other part looks perfectly fine.

We need to build a circle in a square world and we also need to consider the proportions of the diametre and radius of the centrel dome by arranging using square cubes. It's the toughest part indeed.

Taj Mahal, the majestic ivory-white marble islamic mausoleum, right next to the bank of Yamuna river in the Indian city of Agra. It was commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan to house the tomb of his favourite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. It also houses the tomb of Shah Jahan himself, next to the empress's tomb. The tomb is the centrepiece and the main attraction of this 17-hectare (42-acre) complex, which comprises a guest house, a mosque and is set in formal gardens bounded on three sides. Lastly, the whole complex is surrounded by crenellated wall.

We have to refer to the Minarets that we have built first, the estimate the size of our Central Dome so we can make another similar dome with bigger size. It musn't be too small or too big, otherwise it will make the whole building look weird.
Thus, we have tried several times to reconstruct the Central Dome of the Taj Mahal.

We referred to many original images， adjusted them several times to make the interior less monotonous and looks elegant by inserting some lightning.

Ever since we started building the Taj Mahal, we have been searching for information in order to learn more about the Taj Mahal, but we didn't realize that the history of the Taj Mahal was so interesting.

Besides, we are also busy with school and upcoming SPM examination, our extra free time to complete the task are totally tide up. We have to go to school in the morning, having extra classes in the afternoon, and more homework to complete in the evening, and sometimes we even have to participate in extracurricular activities. Due to our busy daily schedule, we all tried to build our world heritage site from 8pm until 2am after midnight on weekends. By regularly making time to meet and complete task, we have learned about better time-management.

We normally have simple discussions at school. When building at home we use an apps called "Discord" as a communication channel. This greatly improves our efficiency during the project.

It's very important to have spatial imagination to draft, measure and plan our building ahead. We just need to find some information on the internet, this can greatly improve our progress so we will not have to redo again if it is unsymmetrical.

Historic buildings and monuments are assets that should be preserved and inherited from one generation to the next. With the presence of historical buildings, the new generation will be more appreciative and sensitive to the development of the country's history.

The design of the Main Entrance is similar to the Taj Mahal mausoleum entrance. This made our building process easier as we are quite familiar with the pattern and structure.

We can't win against time. We know that everyone has the same amount of time to complete this project. But as the SPM students, taking classes from morning to night has become a norm. This makes it difficult to find time for completing our construction, especially among teammates, because everyone has their own things to do.

The mosque is the building located to the west, towards Mecca. It is a red sandstone construction inlaid with white rectangular marble.

The Mehman Khana is one of the lesser-known among the other buildings on this complex, offering the visitors intricate marble inlay work and floral decorations on the walls and a ceiling composed of red sandstone. The building is almost identical to the Masjid.

Total height of the building :

73 m: 123 b

Width of the building :

580 x 305 m : 143 x 136 b

The total area occupied :

176,900 m:19,448 B

2. The interior of the Taj Mahal as we did not have the entire image of the interior of Taj Mahal.

3. We didn't fully copy the second-floor Iwans because they may make the interior more crowded and complicated.

4. We didn't build stairs too as it will make the whole place looks crowded with too much things.

Taj Mahal was built in 1631. It was commissioned by Shah Jahan to build this mausoleum in the memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal, who died while giving birth to their 14th child, Gauhara Begum. The construction was first started in 1632, and the mausoleum was the first to complete in 1648. Then it took another 5 five years to complete the surrounding buildings and gardens. Shah Jahan grieved for his beloved wife after the death of Mumtaz Mahal, has now been illustrated as a love story behind the Taj Mahal.

The Taj Mahal attracts a huge number of tourists every year. UNESCO had documented more than 2 million visitors in 2001, and the number was increased to about 7–8 million in 2014. The Indian government had to preserve this cultural heritage by raising the ticket rate, banned vehicles that could pollute the area from entering the complex and limiting the visiting hours for no longer than three hours.

Though it is visited by a massive influx of tourists, it was still often featured as the most recommended travel destinations. Night viewing is open for the public on the day of the full moon and two days before and after except Fridays and the month of Ramadan.

Foreign high rank officers often visit the Taj Mahal while they were on their trips to India, including notable figures too such as Jacqueline Kennedy, Jimmy Carter, George H. W. Bush, Mark Zuckerberg, Vladimir Putin, Princess Diana, Donald Trump, Prince Charles and Queen Elizabeth.

Though Taj Mahal was well-known for its spectacular achitecture and construction, there were several myths behind the building of Taj Mahal.

One of the myths was that Shah Jahan planned to build a second black marble mausoleum across the Yamuna river. It was suggested that his son Aurangzeb overthrew Shah Jahan before he could be built the Black Taj.

Apart from the second Black Taj, there was another most shocking rumour about the construction of Taj Mahal. It was rumoured that Shah Jahan did not want other people to copy Taj Mahal, so he had the artisans to cut-off their hands to ensure they could not replicate  any building similar to Taj Mahal. However, this is just a rumour without a concrete evidence.

Another fun facts about Taj Mahal is that it is almost perfectly symmetrical and this is the main reason why we find it easy to build at first. The minarets, walls, rooms and even gardens follow the perfect symmetry. The only part that was claimed as unsymmetrical is the tomb of Shah Jahan next to his wife and we have also tried to replicate the same placement of the tomb in the Taj Mahal.

Because we are using Minecraft JAVA 1.18.2 version instead of Minecraft Education Edition, it is very difficult for us to get NPCs to have dialogues. Moreover, it is very difficult to create interaction among the characters, especially in Minecraft, because it will require a lot of commands.

# data[].attributes.body
In the end, we found a solution from several tutorial videos on Youtube, and learn the commands by trial and error to get the NPCs to talk to each other in the Java version.
