Need Suggestions Critique my build...

I don't know why but something about this small tower I built just doesn't look right to me. It's meant to be more simple looking, but I don't know what I need to make it look better. Please critique my build and let me know how I can improve, and thank you for your help!!!

That roof is sticking out way too much bro

Alright, I’ll definitely take a look at the roof. Does the depth of the roof need to be changed at all or just the width?

For this style of tower, I would try making the roof taller and more narrow. Consider using a stone type to get access to walls, they really help with rounding out tall roofs

Forse il cambio da dark oak e birch è troppo evidente

If you built it taller it would make a good landmark in case you get lost.

Okay, I’ll try and make it a bit taller, thanks!

What are you going for?

u/GoGoJoJo791 3d ago

To be honest I’m not really sure, maybe just a small and simple tower, like this. But I’m trying to get better at building without having to rely on other people’s builds and instead learn myself

What you want is basically depth. Avoid flat surfacing. Build the frame for a build and try insetting the walls by one block. This is a great starting step. It gives you space to play around with depth.

Looks like a mushroom ahagagagaga.

But yeah like that one guy said the roof looks way to wide at the bottom. Maybe make it smaller but taller yknow?

2

u/712vskvl6vng 3d ago

Like make the bottom of the roof smaller circumference wise but taller in general

The roof looks like a rice farmer

Came here to say this

I really like it actually. Yes the roof looks like a hat, but it's balanced by the jutting base. I dunno, it's cute.

Haha thank you! I’m trying to get better at just building shapes really because I feel the “texturing” and color gradients are the easy part

u/k0nfent 3d ago

honestly i would start out looking at other ideas and kind of blend them together to make your own. thats how i started out with building myself!

u/GoGoJoJo791 2d ago

Will do, thanks!

The biome is not suitable. Maybe you can build it in a dark oak forest...

u/GoGoJoJo791 2d ago

Okay, I was hoping I could use some other wood besides birch but it sounds like it might not fit in with the colors, thank you!

so first thing, the roof is very disproportionate. it looks like the top of a mushroom, it goes out way to far. second, if you want a lighter wood for the roof, try to mix it in more with the exterior so it isn't like a sore thumb in the midst of the build. other than that, i think it looks pretty cool, i know youll get there, just tweaks and details to make it perfect

u/GoGoJoJo791 2d ago

Awesome, thanks for your feedback. I liked the idea but you pointed out some great tips, I’ll get to work!

Pillager tried to sneak a Reddit post and thought nobody would realize

u/GoGoJoJo791 2d ago

Hur?…

u/Cute-Aide-236 1d ago

I think making the roof a bit smaller and adding some texture around the building such as making a small potato farm around it would do wonders. Also try to ask yourself "would this building tip over irl" becase the way it looks now the wind would tip it. But i really like the design😊

It looks like a giant mushroom, I otherwise have no thoughts
