(ooc) Daily Halfling Build #6

[NotEvilAtAll 10906]

In which I build a halfling related thing on my singleplayer creative world every day until I’m pretty good at it.

 

today I did MESSY MEDEIVAL STUFF! Ok, not really. It’s fairly different from what I normally build though. I’m quite happy with how it turned out.

More block mixing, different block palettes, all that stuff yadda yadda. Also trying my hand at more above-ground building so if there’s ever a need for that in a village I’d be better at it.

 

Heavily inspired by the builds of Stettin outside of Carolustadt in Atlas. Those cottages looked very nice, and this build here is basically my attempt at turning it into something halfling-like.

 

A basic circle-ish shape of cobblestone, built up three high, with some irregular elements thrown in for flavor. I then line it with spruce slabs.

 

I covered it with hay bales by spamming blocks everywhere until it looked nice.

 

It was already a fine cottage before, but I had to halfling-ify it. I threw in a bit of grass on the top and sides so it would fit in better with rolling hills of burrows next to it. Also twisty chimney because why not.

 

Working on the second cottage. I did the hay first and then the spruce lining for this one. I don’t think it makes that big of a difference.

 

The two of them side by side. They have little windows framed slightly with spruce.

 

Interior of first cottage. Unlit campfires make for good food racks.

 

Not a sleeping arrangement suitable for the wealthiest of halflings, but good enough for a cottage!

 

Interior of the second cottage. I borrowed a lot from the first interior because I’m lazy. A few new things, however. I like the look of the mushroom in the flower pot.

 

notes to self:

-cottages are kinda poggers, especially now that cobblestone texture isn’t so ugly with most people use the 1.14+ texture pack.

-maybe try building multi-room cottages like this? It would be interesting to see if I could turn this build style into something fit for non-poor halflings.

-andesite looks pretty good too. I should use it more often. Might be an interesting kitchen floor block for burrows, who knows.

Good work, I really enjoy the grass on the roof and feel like it does what you said, helps it blend into the rolling hills of a halfling village.

We’ve needed actual buildings for a while now, seeing as burrows are very single-use. I feel this could be a good addition to the culture.

Burrows can be used for many things other than housing, especially if they’re partially blended with above ground building in/around it. That being said, it would be cool if we could throw in a cottage or two like this somewhere in the 8.0 village.
