A screenshot of minecraft showing an overview of the ModFest 1.21 showcase map. The screenshot is taken at night, and displays a world enclosed by a large circular wall. In the center, a white temple resembling an analogue clock can be seen. Stretching from the temple are large transparent wall-like structures, dividing vanilla terrain dotted with lights, buildings, and paths. Biomes include deserts, badlands, jungles, plains, a spruce forest, and an area resembling an older version of minecraft.

On the wall hangs a beige schematic for a bomb, which appears to be hanging in the corner of the room. On flanking tables lays a brewing stand, a computer, a vault-boy like figurine, and a propped-open metal cube.A screenshot of Minecraft depicting a cobblestone and brick house on a small island with a large rainbow in the background. the island is accessible by a simplistic stone bridge, and many signs are placed around it. Only blocks available in minecraft classic are used in this scene, and they have the texture and colour scheme from roughly this era of the game as well.A screenshot of Minecraft depicting a dimly lit temple clad in grey bricks. Candles adorn pillars that arch up to struts along the roof. In the center of the image a platform with a lectern is visible, along with more candles and two candelabras. Behind it is an iron door, and above a square "window" of black blocks with glowing white "stars" in them is set into the wall.
