Minecraft Bi-Weekly Build Challenge #51: Aquarium

LAST WEEK'S THEME: ROBINSON CRUSOE

Gold

First off, I'll say that I really liked how the island was shaped. There was some good terraforming, using multiple nature blocks to get across and shape and feel to the island. Also, really liked the cliff area and the fact that coarse dirt was used underneath those other dirt blocks. As for the island itself, not much else I can say other than it was really well built. I liked the crashed airplane and thought the use of prismarine there was a weird but cool choice. I liked the huts from a distance but up close I found that they looked a little too uninhabited for some reason. It may just be since they were practically all exactly the same, they just seemed artificial. However, this is probably just me.

Awesome build!

Silver

Another cool build!

This one here, the island was a bit larger but I feel you guys did a good job terraforming it and making it still seem unique. Some other build, the islands felt too repetitive, with the same pattern of trees and nothing different. Your build here had enough diversity to make it still interesting. Also really liked the tree house. I always find they are very easy to mess up if people make them too big. Because then, it looks unrealistic and the tree is overshadowed immensely by the house part. My only small complaint was that the shipwreck underwater looked just too much like a weird cylinder underwater. Above water, it looked really cool! Below, it just was too big I found.

Good build!

Bronze

A very simple and small build, but that checks off each box and is well done. Really liked the custom trees and found it was a neat use of the stripped planks to create these palm trees. However, they did seem a little too small compared to the houses. Speaking of the house, really liked it! It was small and simple but had a lot of detail on it. For your island, I liked what you were doing but some parts seem too jagged. The cliff, while if you had one side that was just a cliffside, I don't think on an island as small as yours that it would be a really big mound of earth. It would probably be a more gradual incline leading from the island itself. Also, the archway felt a little out of place as well for the same reason. I couldn't imagine an archway just forming out of the blue with nothing else around it. Besides that, really liked your cave/treasure cove and thought it was a great build!

Introduction

Now it's time to incorporate some of that update aquatic stuff into our normal builds! This time, we'll be building aquariums to store fish in them, because it's possible to capture them with buckets!

Let's make the best and most beautiful aquariums there is!

Also note that after this challenge, we'll be moving away from water based challenges. I just wanted to do another one since the update is still fairly new!

New Textures

People have been asking about the new textures. As of now, the textures are only in the testing phase and will possibly change in the future. We have decided that we'll wait from allowing them in the build challenge as of now until there's a more official release of them. This may change next challenge as we, the judges, haven't had a full discussion on the matter but as of now, this is the ruling. Happy building!

Creature concept: The YETI (link to concept art included)

Posted: 05 Aug 2018 05:32 AM PDT

Forget the coral reefs and sunny beaches, its time for winter and here comes the Yeti!

A rare creature living in the snowy areas, roaming around the snowy landscapes leaving trackable footprints. The big protector of the frozen wild will be friendly as long as you keep your axe in your pocket near those cute little forest animals.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Yeti can spawn only in biomes with snow, and only during a snowfall. It's a very rare creature, but leaves footprints in the snow so player is alerted of it's presence. Is a passive mob, unless attacked or if a player attacks another creature near it.

This is my first fan concept and after painstakingly modeling it (newbie modeler), I realized I could have used the Iron Golem as a base and spend way less hours on this. Live and learn!
