One thing I find funny is that everyone says that LOTR is too long to watch but then they will happily binge a whole Netflix TV Show or two in one sitting!

Thanks!

You are correct, lol. Dartmoor really looks like the Shire or Rohan to me.

The winter was part of Saruman’s plan, he cast an evil blizzard remember? lol

Thanks, dark oak might be better for the throne room. I did make a platform for it but it looks kind of out of place I guess. And there’s not much room in the hallway for it. I might change the chandeliers so I can make a bigger htrone. Maybe just hang the lanterns spaced out along the beams. I was also considering to add some banners or paintings. I will definitely add more texture to the floor and walls. It looks a bit dull. Might try a mangrove floor to match the red carpet. Outlining the carpet is a good idea and would definitely help tie it together with the throne. I appreciate the advice! I will try it out.

Ok thanks I will try it and see and thansk for the idea. I love welsh castles. I went to Castell Rhuddlan and Beeston Castle. Well Beeston is technically not a Welsh castle but close enough lol.

I never farm witches, lol. But yeah they are cause they require going to the Nether. And chorus fruits are not fully AFK-able. You have to manually place them. Plus I still think they clash too much with the build style since I am going for a medieval style. But I might use lantern or shroom lights.

Thanks! I did take inspiration from Norman castles so glad you like it. I thought of adding some fountains because it does need more water. But it’s kind of on a hill so not sure if a moat would look good or not? But I might try that out and see. Its’ a cool idea and would let me make a drawbridge since there is a gatehouse already.

Glad I am not the only one who is confused about that! I never heard of that before. Maybe they are playing modded?

Never heard of Herault carpets. I only play on Vanilla. But I will try different textures perhaps. I find that candles flicker and dissapear in screenshots. Only good for seeing up close.

I wanted to keep it simple and not overload the details. It’s a small room so it would feel too busy too much colour. But I might try copper bars instead of oak fences. And maybe different bushes, many thanks.

Ok, thanks I will try to add variety. I like the similarity but I guess people do prefer some detail.

You are correct that they don’t look good but I wanted blocks that are easily farmable. You would not notice them anyway because I take screenshots from far away. I might try lanterns but making end rods is slightly expensive and in my opinion it looks a bit modern. But thanks for the advice! :) I will consider other stuff like maybe shroom lights or frog lights instead. Might have to make a frog light farm. Plus, there are dark oak fences so that kind of obscures the blocks. Good idea though. I will try out different things.

Maybe you could use a different block like pale oak or iron blocks? Observatories would have large telescopes poking through. But fair enough.

Thanks! I got a burst of energy so I wanted to get it done. Then I can move onto the detailing phase.

Nice! Maybe you can make a telescope pointing out of it with non oxidized copper

Thanks!

That’s a good idea thanks! I was thinking of doing something like that so that might be a better location for it.

I watched a video about this and the game does look strikingly similar in every biome and mechanic. There are seed-based voxel games that manage to do things differently like Valheim. However, I found it ironic that they did not sue Hytale yet.

well medieval people loved churches. Look at Cambridge. There are dozens of them. So cant go wrong with multiple ones. And traditionally the royalty would have their own services exclusively from commoners but of course your world does not have to adhere to those rules. And if you already have a cathedral then it makes sense not to repeat the build. House of Lords would be cool but to me that does not really seem like a castle though definitely an administrative building. So maybe I misunderstood what you wanted. I say try it out in creative mode first and use real world pics to help you perhaps. Good luck!
