ion and Pommes, you two are very talented. Every time (and i do mean every time!) that i see the amazing creations you make i go through a process of awe at the builds, anger at you because you can create things so pleasing and elaborate, sadness because i dont have the talent, and then finally awe again.

What i like the most is that even though things aren't "perfectly symmetrical" or "even" perchance, the buildings are seamless and wholly unique.

I love it! :P

That's pretty awesome dawnraider!
I love the contrast of the white stone (I think?) and the bookshelves.

Very nice build Dawnraider
What texture pack do you use?

Finally reached a point with my base on the server I've been playing on for the past so many months that I feel like sharing it. I still have a lot of aesthetic work to do (including essentially everything that isn't pictured here) but I think I've decided on an aesthetic I like.

EDIT2: I just realized I left out one of my favorite things in this base! How could I do such a thing!? https://imgur.com/a/ToLZm Unfortunately it's not padded (yet)

(Btw, the texture pack is Mesh's mix)

Yeah, the whole thing is white stone and white cobble (It took about 30 stacks of end stone to make the whole thing). And the texturepack is Conquest.

Here is a pic showing off my simplistic Windmill Design as well as a good portion of my favorite base.

I had tons of hemp before getting to a stoked cauldron for glue (which only happened recently), so I decided, why not make a vertical windmill for the hell of it!

some dessert builds. only exterior made so far and all are connected by roads to my plain base. two were old villages raised and improved and an old pyramid temple and i only left some. you get lot's of sandstone from them so it was all used for roads.

I restarted recently due to continuing problems with my old world, and I've decided to try and pretty up my hovel with some wood flooring and trim. Really helps make it feel like less of a hole-in-the-ground despite it being literally that. =)

So I made a thing...

Where's the sacrificial chamber? If you have farming deities you need one.
Then you need to invite a friend to see your world. And sacrifice him.

Guaranteed to have the healthiest crops.

Can't. Accidentally sacrificed myself in lava, along with 5 stacks of hemp seeds. I'm out in the middle of nowhere atm. Shedding blood will have to wait.

Well, bright side is they will be appeased for a while...

I decided to map out the area around my spawn base:

I really love to see fuly tiled maps up on walls. I'm gonna have to make a zoomed in one of my town!

So I've been working on both aesthetic and mechanical stuff recently.

That statue is pretty cool DiamondArms, clever use of the iron gates.

I've made a variety of windmills in my time, and found one design that I really love the aesthetic of. Trouble is, it's too small to be really useful. So I recreated it in Creative and I'm trying to expand it to make it more useful, but I feel like I'm not doing a good job with it. Ah well. On the right is the original, and the left is my attempt at embiggening it.

Wow Caevin! That is amazing. Certainly the most beautiful windmill i've ever seen. And also the biggest, mine are usually tall and thin or short and fat..

I put there a screenshot of my new attempt playing this mod (the previous one was 2 years ago, when I ended up crafting soulforged steel tools and armor). This is my "base" where I can live until I acquire enough materials to build something decorous. the hole on the ground was caused by some creepers..

Here you can see, on the left, that I've just started farming hemps. Underground I have also a cauldron, a chickens farm and a portal.

Rather a bold move building your base that near to a jungle and the ocean XD. Out of curiosity why do you have the lightblocks if the hemp is outdoors? They grow just fine in sunlight.

Well, with the lights, they also grow at night, aka double as fast.

finally got some automation going in my new world and the interior the mill is built into the side of a floating island near OS that had a convenient water source for access.

Thanks for the praise Aetherius, I like your little place too. Seems like a nice oasis. As Dawnraider said, bold putting it next to a jungle, I bet that gets fun sometimes.

The idea of a windmill on a floating island seems awesome Ancilangeli, but I've never gotten around to making one. Congratulations on reaching automation level though!

This here is a chicken coop. I tried to find a compromise between having chickens entirely on hoppers but still make it look somewhat coop-like, with mixed results. I have to feed them manually, and despite being surrounded by glass blocks they appear to pop out sometimes. Alack.

Yep that's a chicken coop alright, complete with big ass spiders

If your chicken coop doesn't have big ass spiders, then what are you even doing?

Caevin, you inspired me...
