What you typed
a desert ship
The offline reader calls this Desert Ship. The size is small. Walls are sandstone, the roof is sandstone, and the trim is cut sandstone. No height was set, so the plan uses its usual height for this size. It uses the stock ship plan.
This build has 1,708 blocks, 1,633 of them solid. The three most common are sandstone (997), water (413), oak fence (73). It also has 75 air blocks, left out of the material list. Watch plays for 45 seconds, the length of this build’s timelapse. The seed is 3837771688, taken from the sentence, so the same words build the same thing offline.
