I'm going to skip the nice instructions and get straight into my challenge. So, let's begin!
This challenge begins with loading up a normal world- no mods and resource packs are required. Also, make sure that this is a random seed- DO NOT CHOOSE A SEED YOU KNOW IS AWESOME. Half of this challenge is about not knowing what you're getting into.
In a nutshell, the challenge is that you load a random world, find a list on the internet or anywhere you can find it, and go down the list, building each thing and trying to find a good environment for it. When you finish the challenge, your world will almost be like an amusement park.
Beginning of a List:
A snowman hotel -interpret this anyway you like-
A factory doubled as a treehouse
A ship-wrecked schooner
A vortex sucking up the world around it
A swamp lab
Anything that reaches the build height limit. ANYTHING.
A peaceful looking cottage -but it's not so serene if you look around...
A reincarnation of your house
A naval base
A torture chamber
A network of spider nest cavesAnd so on...
Please reply with whether you think this idea is good and might do it and you can also add on to the list. Be creative and try not to be to specific.

Hey, I love this idea of jumping into the unknown!
I especially feel inclined to build 2) (can't get enough of tree houses!) 3) (nor ships!), 6) and 8) (whole building or just apartment...) !
I recently did 5) and 7) (except the non-serene part!)
Don't know if I have the stomach for 10)... or, actually, I could rebuild my cramped family's scorching hot car going on a too long road trip in summer in the 90's...I think it is close enough =D
some optional additions:
a gigantic previously unknown creature! (it can be something known, but the size-change will make it unexpected and unknown enough)
Thanks! I just built an industrial treehouse circling around a jungle tree.

Build 2 : A factory doubled as a tree-house
Ok, here is my first build! I misread the challenge a bit, so this is just a big tree doubled as a factory =D
So I built a pumpkin and cookie factory as a big tree. It's assembly line is very primitive! The ingredients are produced in the factory branches (pun intended!) and just thrown down to the bottom of the trunk where the crafting tables are. =D Then the products are stored in minecarts with chests and shipped directly into the next build which also has a trunk of sorts... *SUSPENSE!*
Pictures:
Top: Chickens on carpet-covered hoppers. Branches: bottom left wheat, top left pumpkins, top right sugar canes, right cocoa beans
Nothing fancy in this trunk
Build 10 :A torture chamber
In the form of my family's car in the 1990's, a Peugeot 505 GTI... imagine being stuck in endless sun and traffic on the highways through central Europe with sweaty and unhappy siblings at your sides:D
A monster!
I drew the first Minecraft skin of myself for this picture! Have a cookie or a pie!
Build 8 : A reincarnation of your house
Well, my apartment at least!
It consists of a corridor connecting three rooms, a bathroom and a kitchen. It also has an outdoor terrace. Check out the images in the spoiler for a more detailed explanation and walk-through.
Corridor. The apartment entrance is to the right. To the left, music studio followed by bathroom and workshop/kitchen at the end. Behind is office, workout area, bedroom/library and terrace. The following pictures are posted in the order listed here.
Music recording studio. The potato is an Avantone mono-speaker =D and the ironbars a microphone hanging from the ceiling! The black nether brick represent instrument cases and the wooden trap doors carton-boxes are simple sound insulation.
Bathroom
Workshop with materials for carpentry, upcycling and electronics
Kitchen with seeds for planting and populating the terrace.
Office and art studio. Tatami mats for workout/meditation (near). The apartment entrance is visible in the background
Bedroom with small library and wardrobes. The iron railings is supposed to represent the foldable hanger I use to dry clothes on, and the iron pressure plate the vacuum robot =)
Terrace with plants, rainwater collection and 3-stage composting. You can see into the bedroom (left) and the workout/meditation area (right). Solar panels represented by light sensors are not yet in place.
Sorry about the car. Really though, it's awesome that you changed the factory tree idea. Good job!

Build 3: A ship-wrecked schooner
I'm really happy with this build, and I think I learnt a lot while making it.
I will briefly describe the process for you:
I started with two large lines, one straight going up the shore, and one diagonal in the water. I then fleshed out the lines into shapes to create the hull.
After that I added masts and sails. For the sails I used different colors; white for the dry parts and grey to show the soaked and submerged parts.
This was followed by adding details to indicate the remains of the ship's furniture, cargo, and equipment
Finally I had the tremendously rewarding pleasure of spreading out bits and pieces of wood everywhere, as well as setting some parts on fire. Just to show how powerful of an event the wrecking of the ship was.
Nice. I personally stink at making any sort of boat. Period. Way better than anything I could make!

Did number 6 on your list, build to the build limit, something I had never done before (if you don't count just building a 1x1 pillar)
I did it in the form of a space ship.
The exterior is more or less done, but the interior could use a lot of work.
For fun, I connected the entrance to my apartment on the hillside to the entrance of the spaceship with a walkway.
Two other builds from before are also visible in the screenshot, the shipwreck and the tree/factory
I hope you like it! Any ideas for improvements are also much welcome, this is the first time I build something on this scale.

I found a list online of things I can build (https://sites.google.com/site/griffingaming24/minecraft/1001-things-to-build-in-minecraft-list), can I use this to do the challenge? This is a cool idea
Please, unsubscribe me from your issues
Go straight ahead! That is the one I'm doing!
