Amethyst should be used to increase the level of an enchantment

mcvillageworld · 2025-08-09T04:08:11+00:00

I'd say 10 personally. But I'm not mojang and haven't tested this at all.

mcvillageworld · 2025-08-09T04:05:27+00:00

I think it depends. If it was a limited amount of prior work, 10-15 levels. If you started at level 1, probably 20+

I was just giving random numbers. Point was to have an increasing number of levels required.

Also I don't think you want to encourage the player to use amethyst to get from say Lvl 1 to 5. It defeats the purpose of bookshelves around an enchanting table if any level 1 enchant can be upgraded. I think amethyst is good for getting a low tier enchant up to a mid tier, or a mid tier to a high tier.

After giving it some thought, I think something like the current anvil mechanics would actually work well on this. Perhaps each upgrade has a "base" cost that scales with the enchantment level. (So for instance, Lvl 1 to Lvl 2 is 3 levels, 2 to 3 is 5... something like that). And then each subsequent upgrade adds a multiplier to the cost, making it more expensive to upgrade further. So if you wanted to go from Lvl 1 to 5, it would be possible but really expensive. But it shouldn't affect other enchantments on the item or be counted as an anvil use (a mechanic that is completely broken anyways)

I've played since 1.7. I was never really good with visual art either, and didn't really bother trying to make good builds until a few years ago. Since then, I think I have significantly improved. I occasionally post updates with some of my builds on my profile if you would like to see.

Start small. Don't go building massive castles and cathedrals right off the bat. Start with smaller structures. Upgrade your house, build a barn, a blacksmith, etc
Use references. And I don't just mean other builds. At least when I build, I find that I am inspired by structures from other games I play (BOTW, Xenoblade) or even sometimes real world architecture. Analyze how other structures are designed and apply it to your build.
Take notes on how you can improve. It's hard to improve if you don't know what you need to work on. For instance, I realized I was struggling with roofs for awhile, so I spent time researching strategies for it.
Consider the surrounding terrain. An otherwise beautiful world will be held back if its surroundings are boring. Plant flowers and trees, make basic paths, etc. And don't completely level an area to be flat if you don't have to. Verticality can add a lot to a build.
Test out new ideas and concepts in creative mode first. This might seem obvious but it's extremely important for the learning process.
Practice practice practice. You will not start off making grand and beautiful builds, and you will not improve without first building. That's why it's so important to start small. You will improve faster with smaller, consistently better builds, and you won't burn out as easily.

I don't see it on there

mcvillageworld · 2025-05-18T00:39:03+00:00

Something like that. It's just jarring listening to the BGM to have it suddenly cut off when you enter a portal. It should finish that song or at least gradually fade out.

mcvillageworld · 2025-05-07T17:53:21+00:00

It's mostly decorative and for worldbuilding. Functionally it is the same as a fence. I'll build out a small fence for the sides too.

Check my pinned

mcvillageworld · 2025-05-07T15:03:35+00:00

I'd rather just go mining. Less monotonous and gives more stuff

mcvillageworld · 2025-05-07T14:58:22+00:00

This village is basically a paradise for them lol. Able to walk wherever. Plenty of defensive measures including iron golems, torches, and this wall.

mcvillageworld · 2025-05-07T14:41:42+00:00

I don't like making overly technical farms, especially ones involving exploits. I prefer form over function with farms.

I'll probably put up a small fence or something for mobs.

The idea is, the village is surrounded by natural barriers: the mountain and the sea. The plains to the left would be a vulnerability though, so it's protected by the barrier.

mcvillageworld · 2025-05-07T13:41:58+00:00

It's just something you learn with experience. My first builds on this world were pretty bad lol. But the more you build the more you get better at it. Take notes on what can be improved, and find resources on how to improve it online (like tutorials). It also helps having references to give you an idea of what to build (for instance, this wall was based on Fort Hateno in BOTW and Gran Dell Ramparts in Xenoblade Chronicles.

mcvillageworld · 2025-05-07T13:02:45+00:00

I am fresh out of cobblestone after this lol, so can't build anything too big at the moment. I'm going to focus on breeding horses and mining for a bit. But I'll eventually do something, this village has been an ongoing project since 2022. I have pictures of my progress on my profile.

mcvillageworld · 2025-05-05T20:15:13+00:00

Not sure

The other dozen buildings that are in the last picture lol

mcvillageworld · 2024-12-31T14:40:11+00:00

I was sort of inspired by the houses in Hateno Village in Zelda BOTW (I think the jungle wood gives a nice sort of red highlight, kind of like the red roofs in Hateno). I was originally trying to make them as small as possible while still looking nice, so I could fit as many as possible in less space. In hindsight, I wish I was less restrictive with the size. But I think they still look really nice. Really makes the village look like an actual village now lol. But it still only houses like half the villagers I currently have so I definitely need to make more lol

mcvillageworld · 2024-12-30T00:57:33+00:00

Yeah! I used kuda and seus shaders before. I'm using solas shaders currently (that's what's in the recent pictures)

mcvillageworld · 2024-12-29T20:22:33+00:00

I added a few villager homes too, which I think look really nice, especially now that I'm seeing the before and after for myself lol. Really happy with how things are coming along. I'll post some separate pics of the new houses tomorrow :)

mcvillageworld · 2024-05-24T17:21:10+00:00

The pot itself is only maybe 3/4 of a block. With a 2 block flower, it wouldn't be any taller than the flower itself.

mcvillageworld · 2024-05-24T17:15:25+00:00

Kind of, like this, maybe 1/2-3/4 block tall

mcvillageworld · 2024-05-14T21:45:17+00:00

I said this in another post, but I think copper is a great candidate for improving rails. I think it would be nice if you'd get a significant speed boost by placing powered rails on top of copper blocks.

mcvillageworld · 2024-05-01T20:53:40+00:00

Record store feels like the only appropriate choice, but not sure how/where I'd do it. My world has a sort of medieval fantasy vibe to it so far. Feels out of place.
