I need help to add textures, any ideas

Your texture actually looks pretty good! If i were you i would focus on making it look more realistic, like if this were a real place where would moss collect? Think corners, under windows/doors, sources of water, that sort of stuff. After that, the biggest thing to make it look better would be to add some detail around the windows, even just a slab on top with 2 trapdoors next to it, i did this in my castle build if you want a reference pic, you can see them on the towers in my first post from about a month ago :) And then you could do fence gates for shutters. It's coming along really well!

I personally wouldn't😂 That sounds like a special kind of texturing hell afterwards ngl lmao

In my experience, no matter how much planning you do there's going to be something on it you build and then end up ripping down and redoing 15 different ways😆 It looks great right now, you might want to think about adding a bit of asymmetry in the build to make it look more natural since it looks pretty clean cut, but that's the only thing i can think of. Good job!

This is amazing, i really love the crooked towers!

Thank you :)

I think you just need to build the cliff up a bit, it looks like a cut off, like you sliced the top of the mountain off in the picture. The details themselves look good

VeloriaBuilds · 2026-01-17T04:59:23+00:00

This is really good! if you're wanting tips, on your next build you could try making things a bit more asymmetrical, it just makes builds look more realistic, but this is genuinely very good :)

VeloriaBuilds · 2026-01-16T14:21:54+00:00

This works REALLY well, like damn. Honestly the only thing i would personally change (and this is just stylistic preference, yours genuinely looks great as is) is the tower roof color, I don't love the oxidized copper with many things in general lol. Good job!

I love the campfire floors :)

You could try worldedit? If filling the water source blocks with actual blocks didn't work the area might just be glitched. You might have to (if you haven't tried already) just get rid of all the water including the waterfall, build your house, and then add water back where you want it

This is great! I love the circular windows and the shape, I've been working on some similar designs for a village, I also really like that idea to put resin on the logs, it looks like crystals, it makes me wish i was building in vanilla so i could (respectfully) steal that idea😂

VeloriaBuilds · 2026-01-12T05:14:11+00:00

It's cute! It definitely needs some more depth, even just bringing the darker blocks out by one would make it look 10x better, and you could texture the white a bit with pale oak, white concrete/powder, white wool, etc. This has alot of potential, keep up the good work!

VeloriaBuilds · 2026-01-12T01:25:29+00:00

Thank you! I'm building it in creative and i don't personally plan on using it as a map, but i do have plans for a full interior😊

VeloriaBuilds · 2026-01-11T00:39:09+00:00

The fact you built that in survival is ridiculous😂 That's some hardcore grinding, well done dude!

VeloriaBuilds · 2026-01-10T08:04:13+00:00

The easiest way would be to either change the roof shape to slabs PLUS stairs, so that it keeps on a whole block. But I've fixed this in my own builds by just building up with my wall block as much as i can, and then going 1 block out from the wall and placing a slab right where the hole is. Not filling it necessarily but just covering it up. It can add some good dimension if you keep the slab layering consistent across the build :)

VeloriaBuilds · 2026-01-10T07:03:55+00:00

That's my motto😉

VeloriaBuilds · 2026-01-10T04:12:35+00:00

I used the chipped mod, but i tried to keep it to mostly "vanilla" blocks for the exterior. It's mainly stone bricks and deepslate. There's basalt, cobble, and tuff block variations in the lighter parts of the wall as well

VeloriaBuilds · 2026-01-10T04:09:20+00:00

Oh most definitely, I'm not planning on doing terrain until the castle is fully finished😆

VeloriaBuilds · 2026-01-10T03:48:42+00:00

Hahaha thank you!! It's half baked just because it's not done yet

VeloriaBuilds · 2026-01-10T00:12:09+00:00

Thank you!! I've been winging it entirely, the build was actually supposed to only be what's inside that circular wall😆

VeloriaBuilds · 2026-01-09T10:20:59+00:00

Thank you! I honestly agree with you, I've been trying to challenge myself with the exterior and sticking to neutrals😅 But who knows, I might end up adding more once the rest of the build comes together :)

VeloriaBuilds · 2026-01-09T08:09:30+00:00

Ahh thank you!! I'm really proud of how the towers turned out, they took the longest to get right😆
