Build 1.20 Style Heliolux Village

Hello! When I played Realm of Light part 5 in the hero beta, I was really excited to see the new rebuilt area in all of its glory. What I expected was the regular Realm of Light but laid out similarly to the Silent Expanse with multiple regions and the heliolux village. What we instead got was sky islands. I'm not disappointed about that though, what did disappoint me is the lack of Heliolux. I thought that instead of being removed, they would be expanded upon. Unfortunately not. But let's pretend they did stay in the canon of Wynncraft for a moment. How would their new village look?

I decided to make my own Heliolux Village so that we can see how it could've been:

It's not as good as I'd hoped it to be, if i spent multiple days expanding on it it could've been cooler. The thing I am proud of out of this entire build is the central statue of Orphion though, which is the first thing i made.

Spoiler: Another angle of the statue

I was worried about how the statue would turn out since I'm not very good at building organics, but i think it looks great and is probably the best statue I've ever built in minecraft. I'm even tempted to change my plans for my housing plot and make this statue there instead of the colossus head i had planned.

Here's a look at some of the shops i made:

I'm running out of image file space on this thread so I'll just mention the rest of the features

• Various plants from the ingame light realm
• A couple of hanging gardens
• Portal to the main light realm (the idea is that it is accessed through a portal in the nexus of light entrance)
• 2 towers (i couldn't get the st basil's cathedral style right with the shorter one)
• Sun banners
• A balcony at the back (i considered putting a sun there as a reference to the original heliolux village but i didnt think it would really work)
• Light realm versions of the dern spikes
• Every crafting profession block as well as a blacksmith

If this were in the game, there would be some things to gather there:
1 wood node (light)
2 fish nodes (koi)

I hope you like it! If you have any ideas for stuff I could add for later versions of this build, let me know!

 

man this makes me think of what couldve been.... T-T i really love this!!! especially the orphion statue :D!!!

 

I really want a Heliolux Village in the Realm of Light, since I absolutely love the new RoL builds, I think that having a nice peaceful village with Heliolux's in it would be amazing. I adore the style you went with, the village is quite small but that doesn't change the idea, great job :)

 

I feel like the fact there was no Helioluxes in the Realm of Light part 5 kind of degraded my opinion on the quest itself. It's a pretty good quest, but they still could have used the Helioluxes in there.

And I'll say this - That is a great village for the Heliolux. I kind of like how the 'sun' in the village got replaced with a statue of :goodboye:.

 

very cool build but why the hec would helioluxs be selling stuff when literally noone is going to be visiting the village other than themselves.

 

Nice build but why is orphions tail on fire?

 

It's supposed to be the more orange part at the tip of his tail

 

A part of me is hoping that the helioux return to the realm in a later update. I mean the central tp hub in the realm of light has three more allocated spaces, which implies there are plans to expand and build a couple other islands for bonus content or quest stuff. Perhaps a small helioux village or possibly a full city is in the works with a quest or maybe just as a part to a bigger quest outside of the realm, like for dern.
