The key to this build, according to Aderlyon Build Team member Amelia, is the "soul magma" itself. That's where the inspiration started: with a magic, blue lava that matched the new soul fire blocks in the Nether update. Maybe all blocks need a blue counterpart, actually. Blue dirt, anyone? Take notes, developers!
"During our [first] day of planning, we discussed the idea of "magic lava" and decided to model a biome around this concept," Amelia says. Nine builders – almost half of the total Aderlyon Build Team members – spent three days terraforming the cave, and another three days building the structures, trying to use as many of the new Nether blocks as possible.
The project was actually part of a Nether building competition held on Planet Minecraft, which the team ended up winning (congrats!). But they hadn't actually used the new Nether blocks before. "Cacus' Revenge was the first 1.16 build for our team to work on," says Amelia, "so many of the members were discovering new blocks and finding creative ways to include the new features." On top of the difficulty of working with new materials, the team also had to build in the Nether to enter the competition, where the view distance and the lighting are much, much worse than in the overworld. It's basically like building a house while squinting. And everything is on fire.
