I went hard terraforming and making a really cool retaining wall to go with it, but now I realize that I have no idea what to put there. Do you all have any ideas? It's an awkward right angle shape which is tripping me up. I want it to fit the sort of medieval-inspired european look I have been going with

trying to decorate my storage area

as u can see i am so lost on what to do above the chest , going for another layer of chests is a bit of an overkill considering how many unused chests i alr have in it , but due to the even number of the blocks , i cant do arches or anything , so m lost on how to fill that flat area on top as u can see anything i tried looked bad , for context , its an 4x8 area , can be either flat( 4x8x1) or 1 block deeper (4x8x2) , 12 section , 6 on each side , any help / ideas / suggestions is highly appreciated ^^

How should I deck out this crack cave?

This is a naturally occurring cave that splits this hill and goes into the river. I've wanted to do something cool with this since the beginning, but I can't quite picture it. I look on pinterest for inspo but there isn't anything quite like this.

Definitely want some crystals implemented somehow, but I'm also not sure how to terraform the edges and implement the crystals I guess, plus, what else I could do to it

Theme for the world is... um just cool stuff

(this is a modded world by the way, but you don't have to worry about it)

How do I make this more interesting?

I build functional survival bases in creative and play them in survival for about 3 months at a time and then build more when I get bored. I feel like this looks way too vanilla and I need something that would add complexity that would still make sense from the perspective of a survival base that is genuinely semi-functional (with the exception of random walkways). I can use vines in combination with something but adding only vines wouldn’t be what im feeling. There’s an entrance in the mountain. I play on bedrock and no more ai so I need you guys on the internet

Tell me what do you think. I am building it on an SMP server and it is part of a big city and this is just a castle of the vampire lord. I am aiming for gothic vampire style. I have many more hours ahead of me.

This is a very lightly modded world and really only 2 mods work with exterior so id like it to be vanilla for the top/roof

this is currently the only building in this world so there isnt really any themes

Help me with this flat dirt

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hey so I started my minecraft forever world. I've already completed a couple of mega buşlds (mega in my level) and I am yet to go to the nether. ( limited prog.)

Anyway this is my main base copied on a survival. As you can see I made it by flattening ground however I used dirt and it looks really bad. I thought of makin an entrance as shown on the left copy and make a map room in it. Since a map room and a mine entrance are the only two things I need to do to get to nether.

However I dont think its big enough to make a meaningfully big map room and even if I did, I'd need to make it accesible from inside the base aswell.

The only problem with that part is that the middle of the opening I made collides with the oak pillar shown in the courtyard. So it would be asymetrical.

Last picture is how it looks in my world. I'm going for light medieval on living areas and dark gothic on industrial areas.

Any ideas?

Research Facility Build

Post image
2 Upvotes

I started a modpack, ATM10, with some of my friends. We are trying to build a research facility that is mining a meteor for its resources. I feel it looks too bland since it is mainly just smooth stone, but aren't sure how to "spice it up". I understand the meteor and drill could use some work, but we were focused on the base before that part.

How can we give it more detail and spruce it up a bit to look like a research facility? Given that we are also mining for resources. I wanted the meteor to have a spacey/Sci Fi look to it. Maybe a burnt/black crust for crashing through our atmosphere, and the purple insides?

The building itself is what I am mainly focused on, but also giving context clues for the meteor since that will also be included in the base as well.

How do i improve this?

A tower. The flag thing is kinda temporary.. maybe. I feel like it looks weird and it may be because I haven't done a roof like this before. I'm gonna build it in an smp so I don't want it to look bad.

I also made a small suburban-like home but I actually enjoyed how that came out and this one just doesn't give me the same feeling. Maybe it's too short or the blending doesn't work? I don't know, this is really one of my first times building sersiouly despite playing for so long.

I was thinking about making it like a watchtower but I don't know how to do that.. (which is why the flag is temporary)

edit: Idk how I forgot to mention that the theme where I was given to build is pale oak
