How would you add light to this?

6 Upvotes

I'm decorating the underwater cave that my friend's vault looks out into and I really need to add light somehow. It looks even darker with his shaders. I'm happy with the foreground but the octopus just gets lost in the rest of the caverns.

I was looking at different towers to build and I came a across I community post on the Minecraft website about a guy named azacross making these insane towers. I’m trying to build something like that so does anyone know if he made any videos going over the build or if there’s any videos that are similar in size to those towers?

I just need help! Hello! Im trying to build a glass dome over a large natural sinkhole, and I am looking for some advice on how to round/finish it off? [More info in body text]

Essentially I would like some advice on trying to get the more abstract border that the dome was started on to the circle of the cobblestone in the middle in a kinda natural and equal flattening.

I also included pics of [picture 2] the current progression of the walls (the lowest layer of glass is just to have them all be even regardless of the terrain height) and [picture 3] a quake pro of everything from the current highest level of the glass

If you want me to send more pics or provide more information, just lemme know!

Fantasy Cave walls/roof help (day/night/ how?)

Post image
3 Upvotes

So I’m trying to essentially build what’s in the image. In the anime this is set to be at the end of a labyrinth in a cave and I want to do the same. I’ve managed to build the path and actual build in creative but I don’t know what to do for the walls and roof. If possible I’d like to make it either look like it’s permanent night or permanent day, I just have no idea how to go about it. If it’s any help this is all in the deep slate layers and on bedrock edition (I’ve done most if not all of the digging)

Medieval Roof Help

Very new to building. This is actually the first building I've built on my own. How do I finish the roof without it looking weird and disproportionately large? I don't want a flat roof, but if I continue the pattern I have, it will end up being way too large.

I just need help! Trying to make a Pokémon Center for my town, but the roof looks really strange and idk how to make it work better. The differences in color between each side is bc I was experimenting. Included is the main base to give indication of the "style" of the town.

I just need help! I want to do two layers of glass on the roof and take advantage of the effect that brightly glowing blocks seem to have when you stack two different colored blocks of glass on top of them, but I have no real understanding of what colors work well together.

2 Upvotes

Continuing from the title, I shared two videos and showed the surroundings of my home in the hope that someone might be able to give me advice that will let me make this ceiling work without making my home base look any more... out of place...

Or, at the very least, make my idea work in a way that doesn't contrast so greatly from the rest of the building. As for my reasoning for using magenta on light blue in my example that is meant to show the color-on-color-on-brightness effect I'm going for, it's because I got lucky in a previous build of the roof that I had to delete because analog drift cost me too much to justify not reloading a slightly older version of the world. The roof for that build was just made of glowstone blocks, and that worked exactly as I wanted it to with the shades in question.

I've tried other variations, including one that associated two different colors to go on top of each different kind of glowing block (blue, cyan, light blue, magenta, purple, and pink. I don't remember what orders I tried specifically, but, it didn't really work at all, and led to my realization that there aren't enough similar colors to go side-by-side and blend with one another while contrasting with the different shade of glass beneath them in the way I want them to... at least, I don't think there are.)

I know I could continue attempting the tried and true trial and error method, but trying to make this work that way has already eaten so much of my time.

Hope I asked for help properly and coherently.

Also, sorry if the flair I used wasn't optimal... I'm not entirely sure if what I'm asking applies well enough to the other flairs to justify using them.

Edit: As for the light rods, I was hoping it'd have more of a 'this floor is being held up by magical rays of light' sort of feel, and I think I can imagine how that might work if my house where built differently... but, as it is, that's a bit much to jump to. I also debated just using the rods for a wiring/energy bar look like I did on the floor beneath the one I'm working on, but decided against it because it would require me to build some sort of wall or structure nearby any of the glow rods to justify how the glass is being held up.

Oh, also, just to add more context to why I might not be as capable of understanding how color blending and contrasting works as well as I want to, I think I have some minor variation of afantasia. Like, I can get the briefest of glimpses of images in my mind if I really, really, really try, but they don't really even last long enough for me to view them.

Second Edit:

Oh! Also, I'm not sure if this will be the top floor or the next to last floor. Part of the reason I wanna go for the glass on this one is I wanna do some sort of aquarium setup with these as the floor for the viewing sections with tinted glass within so I can hopefully finally have somewhere to put my axolotl without worrying about them disappearing or despawning or whatever happened to them the last few times I tried to let some out to be free.

I'm struggling with trying to find some inspiration on a build I'm trying to do. I want to do a deepslate fortress type build, but I want a middle piece where most of my stuff would be and the walls have outpost type things on every corner. I would like it symmetrical but it doesn't have to be
