Guardian Temples are notoriously difficult to navigate. Between the crushing, unbreathable depths of the ocean, and the less-than-welcoming native Guardian population, getting a good look at temples is often a difficult undertaking. While this isn't the first such attempt, Redditor gamacrit managed to un-flood and excavate an entire underwater temple, in Survival mode! Aside from a gigantic crater in the desert, one of the curious side-effects was Guardians spawning in the middle of the air, and plopping to the freshly exposed ground.
Of course, once you have a fully exposed temple, then what? Do you make a Guardian farm out of it? Try and live in it? Stuff Guardians in Minecarts and make a hilarious rolling zoo? What ideas do you have for an excavated temple?

Posted Mar 16, 2016On ps3 my son and I have one that we took over in survival. We added a glass entrance and it became our base. It was a pain emptying out the water without sponges. It was worth the work. Made a video of it.

Posted Mar 20, 2016Try going out into the Ocean(s) exclusively for awhile. I typically run into about a dozen of them for every, fully Zoomed-Out, Map, I do one of this trips, on (though I'll admit it takes several hours /Map, and that's even if it's just Water, I'm going-over, via Boat of course).

Posted Mar 21, 2016I mostly play on worlds that I've been using for several updates is the thing, so I have to go well out of my way to find any new worldgen features. Considering how wide the radius of already-explored wilderness is by this point, unless a recent update adds a natural resource I really really want, I usually can't be bothered.

Posted Mar 22, 2016The article did state "Aside from a gigantic crater in the desert," which hints that he probably got that sand from the desert.

Posted Mar 26, 2016When I tend to end up with a lot of cobblestone from mining and I come across a desert to set up a settlement in, I will build 2m wide roads with the cobblestone, excavating all the sand and sandstone underneath. That gets me a lot of sand without turning the desert into an eyesore. (It felt wrong to build a road on top of sand which is supposed to be shifty and loose)
Same building philosophy was applied to any exterior structures, as well.
