Better Than Wolves Forum

As always ion those look pretty amazing :). I think I may have to steal that fence design in the last photo.

Mob farm in my new world: https://imgur.com/a/VFma6. I decided that I would try and make the area getting to it actually look good. Usually if my mob farm is above ground I put a building around it but then it looks ugly on the inside, or I build it underground (like this one) and never add anything. So this time I fixed that.

finished my nether gold farm. made it in the middle of a lava ocean with the main room under it and all netherrack covered by demon spawn. help from a lvl 3 fire beacon and lots of invisibility potions.

The world I started playing after the recent update trend had an extreme hills nearby with several floating islands. One has a high water source block. I've made it my base and I'm trying to integrate a castle aesthetic. I'm not super far along yet. And yes, my structure has caught on fire a few times.

This isn't a build, it's more like an interesting occurrence I came across while walking around my world. It's kinda funny, makes me wonder how did this happen... Ravine party...

finished a really big plot of farms and some burial mounds above some easy access mob spawners.

This is how I start my mob farms typically if I have a high enough water source. I laid out my spawn pads and central gathering point and built an aqueduct system to match. This lets me build my processing center at the height I want first and work my way up from there.

Ion and Sterling beautiful work!

Ion has the prize for fantasy build with that texture and design but Sterlings build into location and scale are very impressive!

Thanks for sharing!

Been a while since I've posted here. My most recent world (I changed the biome colors because I didn't like the blueish color). Warning: Very large images.

Overview: Left to right:
Top row: Enchanting/brewing, Mob farm (with added jungle trees for aesthetics), Windmill, Sawmill/turntables, Millstones.
Middle: Cauldron (Starting hovel is to the left of the cauldron, hidden from view, which contains animals).
Bottom: Hemp farm, Storage + crucible/kiln/stoked cauldron.

From the other direction: Hemp farm front:

Really cool stuff guys!

I just made an album with the auto pottery setup of my previous world.(pre-AAAAAAAAHHHH) it needed some tinkering to make it work again, but there it is.

Auto Pottery

So after a couple of years I finally decided to finish the skin of that old monstrosity that is my wool farm.

It is a gargantuan project, at least for my standards. The sheer amount of right clicking to orientate mouldings sidings and corners alone is staggering. I have the left and right side more or less done, but I realised I'm just making a huge flat rectangle, which is very boring, so I'm trying to spice it up a bit on the front and rear sides, taking some inspiration from art deco architecture and general aesthetics (of which I am a huge fan)

Meanwhile the actual farm is switched off because I simply can't store all that wool :P And yes, I'm old school :P

EDIT: for reference this is what I originally had in mind, which I find boring

I built a new stable for animals, which currently only holds cows. Eventually it will also have pigs and sheep, once I go and get them. https://imgur.com/a/jMlwHDG

That is a fine barn you've built. I'd share mine but it's shit. You've encouraged me to build a better one :)

Got a sorting machine for the mob grinder.
Quickly "throw something together and get it working" snowballed into building a monster bigger than the mobfarm itself.
Designing everything to fit together in a 3-D puzzle was quite a lot of fun, and this thing barely fits in the height limit- with the lowest floor anchored onto bedrock.
Added bonus of everything being parkour friendly and being able to climb almost anywhere in the machine.
Starting from the top; the fancy pile of stonework (top right) was the only thing needing a soulforge. After the saws, EXP is first filtered out and carried off to a separate room (under the main entrance). Next stop is the bellows. Redstone timer/controller for the bellows (releases the pistons) The lightweight items are split off into the upper storage units. The remaining items go down this double canal. Rotted arrows in the left channel, everything else in the right.
The drops which don't require rendering are split off into the central storage units Finally the arrows, bows, and ironware makes it to the smelting plant. Lower storage units. From left to right: Heads/Skulls, Flints, Strings, Shafts, Iron How the smelting plant works Digging this deep allows for some spectacular waterfalls. Main entrance into the sorting room I quite like this little alcove for the 3rd waterwheel Thanks for sticking with me.
Also could you guys poke me if think of a name for this machine? She needs something better than 'Sorting Room' and I'm stuck for ideas.

Texturepack is Soartex Fanver.

made a full auto mossycobble farm around a skellie spawner that i had under my base.
i can fill some more in the space but the design would take a hit. anyway i have 28 buddy blocks detecting the changes.

Tried messing around with a bit of different building styles for my windmill: Large image, smaller one posted below.

Can you upload a smaller version of that pic somewhere? It's coming in line by line like Drew Barrymore on a 14.4K modem :)

I hated it when someone turned on the shower and the connection dropped...

Huh weird. The second one is 1720x720. Might be imgur's servers are serving it slow, though my connection loads it fine. I guess another 50% smaller to 860x360? Also trying a different image host.
EDIT: Just for good measure, here's a link instead of embedding: https://imgur.com/u2PyEt8

Idk why or if it's even actually connected in any way, but the first two images wouldn't load for me initially. Went to the third, loaded just fine. Went back up and both of the larger images then loaded just fine for whatever reason.

But anyways. Oddities with images doesn't matter in the long run: I really like your windmill design! Hopefully soon I can actually manage to survive long enough to make it that far (not a single problem with the mod to be honest, just my own lack of time to play and the silly mistakes I make because of that thanks to trying to rush when I should be taking it safer and easier).

Finished my nether portal, easily one of the sketchiest experiences building I've ever had. I only almost fell twice though, surprisingly. https://imgur.com/a/nU2IFN9

Finally got around to actually making a proper storage building that didn't just have stuff thrown in randomly. https://imgur.com/a/6i7p4oo

I'm making progress, but I still don't have a sustainable food source. I've eaten all the nearby animals, and I want to save the ones further out to bring back once I can breed them.

Edit: I maybe should have put this in the Early Game Discussion thread. Your guys' builds are intense and glorious.
