Minecraft Bi-Weekly Build Challenge #24: Train Station

Posted: 23 Jul 2017 03:55 AM PDT

LAST WEEK'S THEME: SPOMENIKS

Gold

Atrufulgium

I personally thought that no one could make the graffiti work well. I thought it'd just look out of place. In this build, using the resources available to him (commands and armour stands) he was able to make some convincing graffiti on the face of the build. Now, focusing on the rest of it, I feel like these Spomeniks had a good style to them, mixing stones so they weren't too much alike but also they had a good shape. And the build was built with the terrain which all of us really liked (the judges).

Silver

KingKowen

I really liked the colours on these. The mixture of hardened clay (or terracotta now is it?) and stone really gave these structures a nice style. I found the shapes captivating and they looked alien in a way, with the twists and the squares in them. Also loved the red terracotta in one of them, a really good way of including that hard block in your build. A small thing is that the rainbow one, while cool, differed a bit too much from the style of the other ones and there was just too much colour in them. Maybe without the wool and just the red terracotta a stone it would have fit in with the rest? Still cool build and was really neat to see your concept art!

Bronze

WeatinWarfightr

Like the vines on these, really gave them an old feel and also they blended with the terrain with the stone path around them. However, the first one (the star) felt a bit too flat and seemed to lack detail or a crazy thing that most of the Spomeniks seemed to have (weird curves or messed up shapes). The star seemed just a little to normal for this challenge, if you get what I'm saying. However, the other ones were very well done and were really cool to see!

Surely we've all made one of these at one point or another.

Mojang, since we are doing texture changes, please improve the looks of water.

Posted: 23 Jul 2017 12:46 AM PDT

Maybe make it brighter and more transparent, but water blocks below other water blocks become less transparent to give off a feeling of depth?

Edit: or the change in transparency would only be done by source blocks. I just thought waterfalls would be weird if all water did this.

I made a small texture pack to change early crops and be able to identify what is planted

We need a "Ocean Exploration" update

Posted: 23 Jul 2017 08:55 AM PDT

imagine adding Fish, Sharks, Dolphins, Coral Reefs, Shipwrecks(loot in said shipwrecks), An actual sea monster(not just an elder guardian, more fish(hundreds), Seaweed, jellyfish, seahorses, and make some of the fish/sharks/dolphins actually jump out and back into the water.
The water we have now is just emptiness nothing, a squid and a ocean monument is all we have.

A simple drawbridge

Gonna be the wise guy for a moment: Texture changes often appears worse until you get use to them. Give it time before complaining.

Posted: 23 Jul 2017 11:23 AM PDT

It's impossible to make changes in a game without people genuinely disliking them. Textures have been changed a lot thorugh the years and they looked bad in the beginning, however, I'd never want them back now.

Mostly, it's for the better even thought you don't see it immediately.

My almost-done first redstone computer (just needs a program counter, a clock, and a couple other things)

Futuristic one chunk building. Rendered with chunky.

Mojang should make Lava storable in Cauldrons. It could act like Vanilla Bin block.

Mojang, while changing the new textures, replace the red bands in the hay bale with ropes colored similarly to the bale itself.

Posted: 23 Jul 2017 02:16 PM PDT

I see no use for the hay bale where the red band is beneficial to its use. It's passable in some cases, such as being used as actual hay bales, but for something like a thatched roof it just intrudes. This would fix a lot of problems with the block, and I feel thicker ropes also contribute better to the new artstyle than the red.

Island House (No shaders - just optifine/custom sky)

Went in a ravine to find a very unique 'ocean' monument

I think we need an overhaul update for Villages.

Posted: 23 Jul 2017 06:24 PM PDT

With all the new updates, I loved the complex design of mansions! They have a good use of complex block combinations, and looks beautiful considering brainless evil mobs made them.

But villages still use that old design for their houses, the only change we got is the dirt path and wood type depending upon their location. Villages feel very uninteresting, it would be good to give them a complete overhaul such as complex block combinations, design varying depending on biome, more biomes having villages, more types of structures such as animal farms, town hall, mining outpost, merchant shop, brewery. Some villages could be protected by walls naturally, some villages could spawn underground with a completely different structure and vibe to it!

Oh and stop saying "mods can do that" to every suggestion, installing mods isn't for everyone and of mods can do anything why is mojang updating the textures because "resource packs can do that"

Then again I would love somethings in Vanilla to get a overhaul, to every man his own.
