This is a recreation of the iconic mask worn by electronic musician Joel Zimmerman, A.K.A. [http://www.deadmau5.com/ Deadmau5]. The design is based upon a diamond sphere, circular ears, and a 45° wedge of lightstone for the mouth. The eyes and various other tweaks were constructed manually.

== Destruction and Reconstruction ==

Soon after its completion, [[fazaden]] and [[CousinMosquito]] suggested it might look better with [[netherrack]] instead of diamond, as Deadmau5's mask is sometimes red. With TaviRider's permission, fazaden used [[creplace]] to make the change. He then changed it to [[glass]], [[gold]], [[obsidian]], [[mossy cobblestone]], and finally [[ice]]. This final transformation was disastrous. The ice began to melt because of its proximity to [[lightstone]], and the structure started falling apart. A hurried attempt to undo the damage somehow turned much of the structure into [[stone pressure plate]]s, most which fell to the ground. Further attempts to fix the structure left a partial shell that had shifted out of place, and the entire project was declared a total loss.

After many apologies, the site was cleared, and [[fazaden]], [[TaviRider]], [[MBoffin]] and [[CousinMosquito]] rebuilt it. This second version looks nearly identical, and also has a double spiral staircase leading to the top of the head, and flaming "mau5brain" exactly in the center.
