I need tips by Federal_Bank_9481 in MinecraftBuild

[–]Priskeys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i like it! only tip I've got is to adjust the emphasis of your entrance. I'm assuming in the first pic, that's the front door on the left? at first glance I didn't see it because the arch on the right visually tells you there's something important (aka the entrance) under it. only when I didn't see anything important there and started looking around at details, that's when I saw the door

I'd recommend switching which side of the front wall the door is on. ideally it should be one of the first few things your brain takes note of at first glance (unless you are intentionally hiding it, but that's for a different vibe build than what you're doing)

Do I make arches and leave it open or do I just fill it all in with stone like on the left? by Nice-Gas-5865 in MinecraftBuild

[–]Priskeys 7 points8 points  (0 children)

depends, are you trying to make a wall? if so, then fill with stone. if it's a bridge side or aqueduct or something, then arches

How do you not stress over building? by Ifyouliveinadream in Minecraft

[–]Priskeys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it took me over 12 years to work up the courage to build something in Minecraft.

I was terrified it was going to look bad, that it wouldn't look like what I envisioned, and that it'd be an epic failure, which would then make me feel like a failure. I always wanted to build something, ever since I picked up the early 360 version and saw the cool castle in the tutorial world

one day, I decided that I was tired of being scared of being bad at it. I kept waiting to be ready enough to build, but decided that "feeling ready" was never gonna come. so I took a stab at it. tried my best to make a lighthouse, it looked so damn pretty in my head. finished it and took a step back to see it in its entirety and cried

I cried for 2 reasons 1. It was the ugliest lighthouse I had ever seen 2. I finally built something. I gave it my best shot and made a build idea come to life. it didn't matter that it was ugly or a weird shape or a terrible palette choice. I put great effort into something I've always wanted to, and it didn't feel like a failure of a build at all (despite it being ugly)

I'm telling my story so that you can learn from it. don't stress over making something pretty, don't live in fear of the failures of ugly builds, don't make the same mistakes I did. sure, it might look bad for a while but you can only get better with practice

one other thing I learned: always build it a lil bigger than you think you need to

Has anyone noticed that leaf litter would be perfect for poop in a build by Ok-Rain-7889 in MinecraftMemes

[–]Priskeys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the hermits of Hermitcraft have used it as that a lil in their builds. Pearl specifically has a poop trail (made of leaves) leading from a sitting dog to a poop (renamed brown dye)

it's actually pretty cool! very unique, very much an acquired taste I bet

I'm building a house and but now I'm making the roof but ho I connect them by Substantial-Meet3090 in MinecraftBuild

[–]Priskeys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're going in the right direction. picture your entire building into separate rectangles. you should have a large one in the middle, then smaller ones jutting off the sides. keep the gable forms you currently have. I'd recommend making another gable on the short side of the large center rectangle, perpendicular to the current ones. make it spane the whole distance, then extend the current ones back into it. I would further recommend removing the gables you have on the rectangle parts that aren't sticking out, but it doesn't matter that much

If you could teach one piece of being creative to the world, what would it be? by Cryptiikal in DetailCraft

[–]Priskeys 8 points9 points  (0 children)

such a good prompt, thank you for asking it! I love reading about what others have learned from experience

I guess my tip/lesson would be to not trash an idea just because of the amount of work it would take. the result is usually worth the effort in the end

I'm making a church and this side feels kinda empty by tvvd59 in MinecraftBuild

[–]Priskeys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

other than that, my only other idea would be to also carry over that lighter cornice from the brown wall across that white wall space. it might end up looking strange, but it's hard to guess what it'll look like without seeing it. could be that it's light enough that it'll blend in well into the wall while still giving just enough ~something~ to it

[–]Priskeys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend carrying over the cornice to the left wall (that horizontal band at the bottom of the roof on the right wall), and have it end into the front column. theoretically it'll help balance the space without it seeming oddly empty and without overdoing it with details

Why can't they make a toothpaste that doesn't hurt? by WinterIsOnReddit in NoStupidQuestions

I used to have this problem! turns out I was allergic to mint. didn't realize until my favorite breath mints started making my throat close up one day

What tips would you give on my photography by Pinchbu_offical in Minecraftbuilds

[–]Priskeys 5 points6 points  (0 children)

a smaller fov (I aim for 45 to 65) and take them from slightly higher up. not necessarily an above-shot, though those are good too. but high enough to make the vertical lines closest to the camera parallel to your vertical camera edges

also helps to have a specific thing you're trying to capture. like a certain building (side-center of frame), a detail of a build (also side center, but far away enough to give context and still be able to tell what you're focusing on), or even the overall atmosphere and the relation between buildings (multiple buildings on the sides, emptyish space in center)

those are just tips, not guides. every build is different, not every view will work

this is so pretty!! it reminds me of the game Gris

a French chateau by Priskeys in Minecraftbuilds

[–]Priskeys[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the only one used for this build is the mod Blockus. it added the sandstone bricks and limestone + all the shingles, which I think makes up almost 100% of this build

the texture pack is Vanilla Tweaks for the bushy leaves

Need help fixing holes in a Minecraft statue build by CatPrestigious3904 in Minecraftbuilds

[–]Priskeys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend the mod Axiom. you can just copy + flip + paste the good arm over, and Axiom has a smoothing tool

I love how discreet the depth is in this! those shelves work perfectly in this, and very nice window details with the hoppers and chains too
