(ooc) Daily Halfling Build #9 (going full mushroom)

[NotEvilAtAll 10906]

In which I build something halfling-like on my singleplayer superflat world every day until I’m 80 years old or the forums shut down, whichever comes first.

 

Today I did a request from @TakeMeT0TheFae to build something halflings can store items in that isn’t a burrow or windmill. I made a storage mushroom with a tavern on top. It is very nice.

 

This is completely new for me. I’m not just trying new colors here, I’m trying out a whole new sphere of building. Apologies for not doing a DHB yesterday. I was busy.

 

Stem looking pretty darned good so far, but I needed to make the top all circular, and I’ve never tried to make something circular of this size before. I went with a free-form approach, as can be seen here. I sorta just placed blocks until it looked mostly rounded.

 

Nothing much, but it’s a good start. The top part will be made from red concrete once I get to it.

 

Trying to simulate the funky mushroom undersides. This looks alright, but I’m sure it’d look better if I made the mushroom larger.

 

Another screenshot of trying to make this funky mushroom stuff work out well. I changed around the perimeter of the mushroom so it doesn’t look weird from underneath.

 

Somehow I managed it. I did a little bit more work on the stem as well so it looks natural.

 

View from underneath.

 

There’s a staircase going up and down along the stem. Pictured here is the unfinished interior of the upper mushroom.

 

The finished exterior. Not doing a door because I like the open feel to this.

 

The staircase in the stem of the mushroom.

 

At the bottom of the staircase, you find two doors.

 

The right door leads to a working room of sorts. This is where you can make things for the village.

 

The left door leads to the storage. Not an incredible amount of storage for a build that’s supposed to be THE halfling storage building, but it’s enough for a small community.

 

Going back up the staircase, you’ll find the tavern part of this build. The chandelier is a bit ugly, but it has its own charm to it in a weird sense. There’s a mushroom growing out of the staircase because why not. The counter is strange but I think it still works plenty fine for what it needs to do.

 

notes to self:

-mushrooms are cool. a village without mushroom stuff in it is a sad village, unless it has a good melon tree or something.

-I should do more circular builds like this so I can get used to building larger rounded objects.

-Think of a better chandelier design next time you make one.

This is so good and I love seeing what you produce everyday.  I adore this honestly, it’s so interesting seeing new takes on halfling construction, and honestly I was surprised this ended up as good as it is, I think it could fit into a nice little village quite nice if we used tiny mushrooms around the village more.

This is really cute, Boletius the Mushroom approves

Replaced the chandelier with some weird bioluminescent growths hanging from the ceiling. I also framed the torches so that they’re wall mounted and look better. I did the same to the torch on the staircase after I took this screenshot, don’t worry.

 

Also, you can see that I added in some windows. It’s pretty high up in this mushroom, so it makes sense to be able to take in the view!

 

Finally, I threw in some smooth red sandstone slabs. The slabs make it feel like part of the mushroom has decayed a bit. I really like the look.

 

How the newly windowed build looks at night.

 

Threw in some red carpets to texture the top of the mushroom better. It looked a bit lacking compared to the rest of the build, so I thought it could do with a bit of texturing.
