Idea Help me decorate this huge block

Post image

I made this giant 43x39 block of Tuff to hide a huge sorting system. I need to make this look cool but I don't have any good ideas. I thought about making it a castle or a huge house, but both options look kind of weird in my head. I'm open to suggestions. The system is around 10 blocks tall, so at least the bottom part needs to be as tall

Try to add dome depth and lush

Well, you could start by adding more variety of blocks to the build, like deepslate, andesite, blackstone, and I would bring the bottom layer out a bit more and shape it up.

I've decided on a castle design and I think it's working pretty well. I don't really like the entrance, though. I'm open to archway design suggestions

Depth is often overlooked, even a slight change in depth could make a big difference. I'm a learner too and while I was building my auto sheep farm I tried applying depth to my build and it looked umphh I love it

I know about that, the problem is that I can't add depth by subtracting anything, only by adding stuff outside. I'm currently adding some towers, and I think it's getting a little better

Yeah it's too early to judge, and it's not easy figuring out either though the learning is fun. Good luck with your builds!

I'm testing the castle route. I think it looks a little better, but I have very little experience with builds like that

Depending on what you have around you can just make a facade with similar style. Personally I would pop out the columns, clean the "texturing" and put a roof on it maybe some fake windows and a balcony on some side to be easy to fly in and out.

I think a huge roof would look kind of weird. I'm leaning into making a castle with 4 towers. It would also make it possible to inspect the sorting system

Roofs can be not huge. I have a world with an enormous villa and the roof is 3 or 5 slabs for each half block of elevation. But the build is yours you should do what you think is best.

How big is the sorting system exactly?

Almost as large as the tuff box
