Piston & Egg

This is a statue of a dragon egg on a piston. The piston acts as the pedestal of the statue, and the dragon egg is obtained once you beat the game, so it symbolizes a Minecraft world that has defeated its dragon, or final boss. so it's like a trophy. The cool part about this project is that with the Light(Operator Utilities) item, surrounding the statue with it creates an light source so that it's easy to see even at night.

Match the block's color to the pixels' colors on the piston, then build it with a pixel to block scale.

Use barriers, invisible blocks, to build a chute for the water to be placed in. Place candles of different colors on a block, then break the block, to create the effect of having floating candles. Repeat around the piston.

Put a dragon egg next to another block as comparison, and build using the pixel to block scale. Add purple and gray patches after building the egg's shape.

Cover the entire build with Light (Invisible light sources) so that the build can be seen at night, or in darkness.
