Here's another build for @otherside-wanderer's buildtober. The idea here is that an underground village needed a way to water their crops so they turned a shed, and some old mining equipment, into a storm generator. I've been wanting to build an underground sky for a while and I think it turned out pretty well, for my first attempt. This build was really difficult to take screen shots of so I hope it looks alright on Tumblr.

There are gifs of the lightning effect under the cut. I don't think they'll cause issues for people sensitive to flashing lights but I can only guess so I wanted to separate them from the images to be sure. There are no other still images below the cut. Also, I made the gifs with shaders turned off because the warm colors of the shader ruined the effect.

(Short lore / story ahead, skip to the end if you want my thoughts and info)

The building had always been there, a creation from the ancient builders, created with magic and skill. When they disappeared, no villager had any knowledge on what it was or how to maintain it, only that the two orbs of wealth were to never be touched or stolen.

Over time, the building slowly fell into ruin, the bricks becoming cracked and overrun with vines, the chains almost invisible from the bushes coating them. At one point, a pillar split in two, causing the village to fall into a panic, but a tiny amount magic, left over from the ancient builders, kept it upright. The obsidian cracked and shattered, and it is rumoured that when it cracks, its wails can be heard echoing throughout the fields.

Many theory's where made on the building, and the purpose it served. Great librarians and clerics, the wise men of the village, came to the conclusion it was built to act as a wormhole, a way of passing through to a different realm, but the magic of it slowly faded with no one to upkeep it. They were almost right, the building was a form of portal, but it was not created to allow easy movement between realms.

It was created as a prison.

It was a doorway to a prison of the highest security, an entire dimension, created by the ancient builders to hold an enemy of unimaginable power, one so destructive it scared even them.

What the villagers didn't know was that the building was a door. A door that was locked tightly, but those locks where slowly rusting, with this great enemy waiting patiently in the hellish landscape within.

The world had forgotten it, but it remembered. It knew what it was called, what its purpose was. It was a creature of pure evil, of destruction and plague.

It was The Wither.

(Decided to try and right some story / lore for this build out of boredom, first time trying! It was created for @otherside-wanderer buildtober, with the prompt Ruin which made me think of ruined portals. I'm half happy with how it turned out, especially the pillars, but sadly the max portal size in Minecraft is 23x23, so the pentagram on it looks a little goofy. I might work on it some more and post the update later!)

Feedback / Comments on both the story and build appreciated!

CLOVERCRAFTED'S BUILDTOBER 2023

[image i.d: a dark greenish-blue spooky forest with white text overlayed on top, the contents of the text is described after the rules]

hello and welcome once again to clovercrafted's buildtober 2023 edition! an event created to challenge and inspire some spooky and seasonal builds! coming to you mildly belated!

How does this work?

Simple! Above there is a prompt listed for each day (I'll also write them below as well so there's both text and image available). There's 31 themes for the 31 days of October! For each theme you build something related to it in Minecraft! It's up to you how to complete each theme!

Can I use Mods, texture packs, shaders, other things that aren't vanilla?

Yeah! Go wild! Have fun! Use whatever you have at your disposial!

Do I have to do these in order?

Well, yes but also no! If you want to go in order you can do, but I also don't mind if you skip a day to come back to it later or do them out of order if you get stumped.

What if October decides that I can't do this for reasons?

No prob bob! If you miss a day you can do it whenever, if you forget same thing do it when you want to. If you end up missing all of the month don't worry, I won't be throwing the list away so you can pick it up when you please. Heck even make it buildcember or something!

Sweet I think I know what I'm doing now! But what if I have more questions?

Drop me an ask for any extra info! You can start uploading your builds on October 1st your timezone! Feel free to tag me @clovercrafted in your builds if you'd like and don't forget to use the tag #clovers buildtober 2023 so I can lurk on the tag!

Day 19: Moss

A mossy cave with a cozy hut inside. Featuring giant mushrooms and glowing crystals.

[priskeys]

i decided to do a light-based take on @clovercrafted's prompt of 'Reflection' for day 5 of Build-tober 2023 (late ik, bite me)

aka I built a Classical Order Backrooms

featuring the cool lighting effects of the Complementary Reimagined shader

many more cool screenshots below the cut!

i just found the minute color changes to be really neat

i know it's not a typical 'build' for the prompt, but i think it's more about what the idea inspires than the execution of it :)

[notexactlywonderland]

Much happier with this build for @clustercraft's buildtober

[evilest-opossum]

Day 4 of @clustercraft's buildtober- Grave Man, who would have such an ego to make their grave a giant statue of their own face? What a nerd.

Or maybe. I just miss that stupid face... Once lovingly adorned by beautiful greenery and flowers, it's being slowly overcome with brown mushy plant matter and fungus that wishes to turn it into the cracked and crippled monument we see before us now.

More cameos from previous builds

(It was me, that's my face)

[otherside-wanderer]

Happy Spooky Season, minecrafters! This year I'm running my own Buildtober - shown here are 31 prompts representing the 31 days of October. Usually, these kinds of challenges require you fulfill a specific prompt each day, but my intention with this is to inspire you to build!

See a prompt you like, even if the date has passed? Build something for it!

See multiple prompts that would be cool combined? Build something for them together!

Don't like a prompt or can't come up with anything? Skip it!

Want to start early or late? Start whenever you want, and most importantly, have fun!

When I participate in these building challenges, I love to take the prompts out of order, combine them, really make the challenge my own. If you decide to participate, I'd love to check out and reblog your work, so make sure to use the tag #othersides buildtober 2024 - you can even tag me @otherside-wanderer in your posts if you want, too!

Questions? Send me an ask - I don't bite! 🧛

[ipminecraft]

Here's another build for @clustercraft's buildtober. This is one of the most picturesque places I've found in Minecraft so I'm really glad I got a chance to do this build here. And, I updated my shaders so now I can take really nice screenshots again!
