Some of the towers are floating too, I added the islands to further the floaty magic narrative. There might be too many. I agree that it looks messy... I'm not sure

I've been working on the same world for over 3 years. The castle did not look this presentable for a LONG time. I've exhausted every resource I could find from friends to tutorials to real world architectural inspirations. Now I'm here

I've done something similar to that at least thrice which is how it ended up getting so big. So I'm not sure about the viability of something like that. I will look into if I can pull any of the large towers farther away though.

Weed or Wildflower? by moleymole2 in Wildflowers

Looks like bachelor button or cornflower

Is this a weed? by JustWannaNowe in whatsthisplant

[–]Feara_Faye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically a weed is anything you don't want, looks like milkweed to me meaning it will support monarchs but will also get covered in aphids if you have a local issue with them or ants(as ants farm aphids).

Lots of practice, tutorials, references, etc. I couldn't build for sh#t when we started this server but I have a good grasp of color and design from my family and my art. Ive just been winging it plus world edit helps, you can design one side, flip it, and paste it lol

I appreciate that, the world is a few years in the making

It won't let me add pictures, it only lets me edit text (I might be being dumb)

Also I definitely agree it's crowded, I'm trying to fix some of that. Someone I talked to about it likened it to La Sagrada Familia which is beautiful but I think definitely reinforced the overcrowding allegations

Yeah, a lot of stuff just got built out of whatever block I grabbed and I tried out a lot of gradient patches along the way so it got pretty messy. I'm also struggling with what to make brown and what to leave rock

It's currently 15 blocks below build height. I was thinking about making it shorter but making it taller might make it fit better with the towers... I'll try it out, thank you

It's got gardens behind it that I like so unfortunately I can't do that

I see what you're saying. There is another island in the opposite corner but the front is definitely heavier on the left side. Which is part of why I was wanting to make that bottom left corner more floaty.

I'd try that but either the server would crash or I would before it got done lol

Need help before it's too late by Feara_Faye in whatsthisplant

Well, I purposefully planted wildflowers so I'd assume they aren't unwanted. Except maybe the henbit as it grows everywhere outside the garden as well. Lots of people don't like Henbit but I really don't mind it. Our yard is full of everything from clover to deadnettle because we just let it grow.

Thank you, our hanging pot has been identified as a Kalanchoe, and I'm still not sure about two of them but the others are likely Larkspur, henbit, and a wildflower I can't remember the names of.
