Voxel cherry-blossom diorama with drifting petals

Create a serene cherry-blossom scene rendered with Three.js as a voxel diorama — a small, contemplative 3D world where a blocky cherry tree stands in full bloom beside a quiet pond, with petals drifting on a gentle breeze. The mood is everything: soft pastel light, unhurried motion, and a calm that rewards simply being there. Build the world entirely from voxels: a mature sakura tree with a weathered, forking trunk and layered clouds of pink blossom clusters in varied hues; a grassy bank with stepping stones and wildflowers; a still pond that mirrors the tree and sky; a resting accent such as a wooden bench or a small stone lantern; and distant misty hills for depth. Favor soft shading, a warm-to-cool gradient sky, and lighting that suggests late afternoon in spring. Let the scene live quietly: petals detach from the canopy and spiral down, some landing on the water with delicate ripples; the blossom canopy sways almost imperceptibly; light shifts slowly as thin clouds drift past. Give visitors gentle orbit and zoom controls (drag, scroll, pinch) with smooth eased motion, plus a subtle idle camera drift when no one is interacting. A slow day-to-dusk light cycle would deepen the atmosphere — warm gold fading into violet dusk, perhaps fireflies or paper lanterns appearing at night. Carry the experience through its quieter states: the stillness on first load, the rhythm of falling petals over time, and small rewards for patient observers — a petal settling on the bench, ripples intersecting on the pond, a heron or koi glimpsed in the shallows. Keep it contemplative rather than busy; every motion should serve serenity, not spectacle. Make it complete and self-contained: responsive on desktop and mobile, graceful with reduced-motion preferences, and never showing a broken or empty state. The voxel craft itself should feel hand-composed — natural branch structure, varied blossom color, considered placement — not a primitive cube-on-a-stick demo. Do not take shortcuts or settle for a cookie-cutter 3D demo. This skill imposes no token budget limit, so pursue the full depth of the experience and keep refining its composition, lighting, motion, and small details until the scene feels authored, serene, and complete.
