Build One Of My Builds For My Application, Looking For Constructive Criticism And Feedback

This is a continuation of this post from last week:
https://forums.wynncraft.com/threads/medieval-style-wooden-estate.249462/

- Built in 1.13.2

I've completed this build which I made over the course of a week, and around maybe 9 hours total? Don't know for sure. Anyways, I'm looking for suggestions on anything I can improve and change to make it better.

Things to note, this was obviously made on a minecraft generated world so the terraforming is not the focus here. I had just found this really cool plateau area and decided to build on it :P. If anyone is for whatever reason curious what seed this is, it's -2343395555782074687 (MC Version 1.13.2 and coordinates of this cool plateau area are x: 900 y: 86 z: 450

I tried to demonstrate some different skills throughout it including town planning, diagonal houses/bridges (+ that stupid 33 degree long ass bridge), tree modeling, medieval-style houses, farmland, etc.

And yes, I am aware the large central building isn't the exact same style as the rest of the build.

Also there's a village nearby and in one of the pictures you can see part of the farm with the purple/black un- textured blocks o.O

 

I think it's good for the team! It would be cool to add some boats in the water features to tie it all together. Maybe a dock or two? It's looking great!

 

Sounds like a good idea, I might put a small boat in the larger body of water.
Thanks

 

It's good but definitely not good enough for the build team. It's overdetailed and repetetive and the palette is a little meh. It's not a bad build by any standard but it's more gavel style. I also don't understand why bricks are mixed into the road?

 

I think it's pretty cool and matches the wynncraft build style, reminds me of Gelibord in a savanna plateau

 

hm well I'll still try :P and yea i guess i can see the gavel style connection when you point it out. I put brick into the roads because it felt a little bit lack of colour.

 

For paths, I find it best to have variation between a couple different blocks that have similar colours. Too much contrast on a path can be a bit distracting. Maybe try using gravel or dark cobblestone (monster egg versions of blocks have a darker texture) instead of the brick?

As for the structures, there are a couple specific parts that are overdetailed - for example, the cobblestone with stairs on the side of the house in the third-last screenshot. Try to keep the supports fairly simple, and decorate the areas between them.

 

Best build eva
10/10 would nii rune again

Lol ;) I only have my phone atm... I'll respond to our group chat later when I can take time to write. I hope you enjoy being on the build team ;D

 

That's really good, well done!

 

i love when people furnish stalls and houses for merchants and stuff.

it just makes me more impressed somehow.

i'm probably too used to wynn and can't see things correctly without some place that could have decoration for a merchant

but yeah the town looks great and im in love with the brick paths and the houses look pretty good

it rly reminds me of those unused empty corkus villages

 

Glad you like it :)

 

I guess maybe for the color some blue, vibrant green, and yellow would help? Like hay bales, water fountains, and vines?

 

Yellow, green and maybe some kind of pink-red would be a suitable decoration palette for the city. That's a good point you're saying

 

Thank you! I try my best to make valid points on a daily basis :).

 

@ExertKarma
Hey, Ex-team member here.
Good luck with your application!

Here are just a couple words of advice.

Wether you get in the team or not, please consider atleast learning the basics of world edit and voxel sniper. Show them that you're atleast adept in terms of world edit and terrain manipulation, once you've learned the basics, dive into the advanced section as soon as possible. Go onto builders refuge, mess around with a couple of commands, see what you can do. It really opens lots of new oppotunities.

Another piece of advice form me is please reconsider your detailing, most are extremely repetative and look generally messy. I think its really good keeping in line with Wynncraft's style, but if you want to move to greener pastures in the future you really have to reconsider your building style.

Last piece of advice, allways try to improve, learn from others and make sure you participate in game night.

I can show you the door but wether you decide to walk into it, is all up to you. :) Good luck!

 

Thanks for all the advice.
In terms of voxelsniper, as I said this was one of my builds for an application, so I did include quite a large terraforming build I did purely with the plugin which (at least to me), came out very well. I wasn't using the builder's refuge server, but instead a smaller less known server called AJgaming which simply had voxelsniper added along with worldedit. It had quite some amazing builders there as well from what I've seen.
Also, sorry to ask, what is game night?

As for this build, as people have pointed out, it is kind of "gavel style" or overdetailed, so I think I'm going to try to make some builds that match wynncraft's 1.18 design of simpler shapes which come together to form a stronger looking build... Once I'm done with my school finals. And if I don't make it on the team, I'll just use the new builds I'm working on for a future application.

I sent my application around the beginning of June or late May but I know they take time so I'll wait :)

Thanks for the advice!
