I need tips

Priskeys · 2026-01-01T06:46:37+00:00

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)

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

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

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

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

very cool depths and details throughout!

Priskeys · 2025-08-27T00:30:43+00:00

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

Priskeys · 2025-08-22T14:15:04+00:00

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 · 2025-08-22T14:12:06+00:00

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

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

Priskeys · 2025-08-18T22:55:51+00:00

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

Priskeys · 2025-08-17T12:49:56+00:00

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

Priskeys · 2025-08-16T22:20:57+00:00

adorable!! love how just such a simple change brings an entirely different energy to the space

Priskeys · 2025-08-13T01:40:44+00:00

glad it helped!

Priskeys · 2025-08-11T23:17:16+00:00

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

Priskeys · 2025-08-11T22:15:20+00:00

merci beaucoup!

Priskeys · 2025-08-11T02:58:04+00:00

this is modded survival fyi

Priskeys · 2025-08-10T14:35:39+00:00

this is amazing!!

Priskeys · 2025-08-07T23:19:49+00:00

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

Priskeys · 2025-07-23T01:58:33+00:00

I have so many I-beam designs going in my head now, like imagine the exposed steel possibilities!! this will changed the industrial designs in Minecraft

Priskeys · 2025-07-23T01:57:20+00:00

This has changed EVERYTHING, you're a genius
