(ooc) Daily Halfling Build #7 (TAKING REQUESTS)

[NotEvilAtAll 10906]

In which I build a halfling related thing on my singleplayer creative superflat world every day until my internal organs give out or something.

 

@Hobbs_Burrows asked me on discord to try doing a build like the cottages I did for DHB #6 but with spruce and stripped oak logs. I went with spruce and sandstone instead because I’m going through a sandstone phase.]

 

If anybody has any other ideas for stuff they’d like me to try building, just reply to this thread with what you want! I don’t have that much time tomorrow, so I can’t guarantee it’ll get done right away, but I’ll try my best.

 

Frame. Notice how there’s an actual floor this time, and that the cottage is larger. This isn’t for super poor halflings anymore!

 

Frame but C U R V Y.

 

Adding in the hay bales. It took me a while to get it right with the more oval-like shape of this cottage. I eventually figured it out though. I added in spruce slabs all around the top of the cottage because otherwise the hay sticks out like a sore thumb.

 

Grassy boi.

 

A bit of dirt, bonemeal, and other things later, this is what I’ve got. I added a small mushroom growing on the roof, just to make it feel ALIVE. I’m also really proud of how the entrance turned out. It looks fantastic.

 

Finished exterior. Note the addition of small stones in the roof.

 

Back view.

 

View from the ground level.

 

The trapdoor in the wall is important. This halfling here was having a meal of a baked potato at the time this place was built. It’s probably cold by now.

 

Bedside storage and book stash.

 

Hidden behind the trapdoor in the wall is a shrine to the mushroom gods. May the Shroomlord bless us all.

 

Note to self:

-hide more secret stuff in future builds because they add that extra touch.

-trapdoors can be used to make for SUPER EPIC entrances.

-use item frames as plates more often.

-maybe try mixing partially dirt covered cottages with fully covered burrow rooms? That’d make for an interesting build.

The mushroom is *chefs kiss*

 

I would love to see a different take on a storage place for halflings, we normally have it in either a windmill or a burrow but I think it would be cool to see what other options could be available.

 

I also think it could be cool to see a burrow with both birch and dark oak together, total opposites but I think they could be cool together.
