The Kingdom of Mossland

KoM 2-5 | The Tinker's Cottage

After all the large scale building projects I was starting to feel a bit burnt out, so I did what I always do and went off into the hinterlands around the city and built something small. Introducing... The Tinker's Cottage.

Built on a river at the borders of the Kingdom, this cottage is home to an eccentric engineer who makes all sorts of wacky clockwork contraptions and surprisingly good baked goods. The cottage is split between a small living area and a large workshop. There is also a dock for fishing and boat storage, and several vegetable gardens. The cottage has a large copper spike built into the roof to attract lightning strikes for experiments, and the tools in the workshop are powered by the water wheel.

The pink gazebo 🌸

In the process of trying to find the reference for the precious post, I'm posting a gazebo build! The gazebo build itself is altered with its roof because I wanted similar roof tiles to the previous builds. Even though I try to stay coherent with the materials, it isn't perfect. As for the garden and rice patties, I had some ideas but I mostly just worked with my environment and creative muscles with my limited space.

Texture packs: Mizunos16craft, Mizunos16craftCIT, and Xali's Bushy Leaves

Shaders: Complimentary Shaders

It's been awhile so here is the garden I built behind the house in the last post!

Pale Oak my Beloved

[daydreamdoodles]

how the fuck am I suppose to do homework today when the pale garden is an update coming to Minecraft. How am I suppose to answer questions about clean dining rooms when The Creaking exists and you have to find its heart to kill it. It lives in a desaturated world. Does it know how bright the sun is??? Does it know its eyes are the colour of it??

the thing i immediately LOVE about the pale garden and the creaking is that it kinda feels to me like they're trying to emulate the creep factor that old minecraft had. the low visibility, the emptiness, the unfamiliar sounds, the feeling that something else is there just out of sight... the same elements that led to the rise of herobrine and other stories, and are now seeing a resurgence with the rise of args and digital horror series. looking into a dark forest and seeing a set of glowing eyes staring back at you is the exact same horror that herobrine was built on. seeing them showcase this biome felt like a throwback all the way to back when i first booted up the game more than a decade ago and felt an immense sense of unease as i looked to the horizon, and i absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on this update.

40 - The Royal Gardens

It’s been a while, but another build has finally been completed. After weeks of not playing, and even more weeks of not working on the castle, the royal gardens have been built. The gardens occupy the largest courtyard of the castle and serve no purpose other than to look nice. In this fantasy cottage core utopia, have a garden shows that you are a good person, and have a sweet, multi-acre garden with a massive greenhouse that features plants from all over the world shows that you are a hella rich, good person.

The gardens feature a seating/party area and axolotl pond close to the castle, and past that are many flowers, trees, bushes, and mushrooms that one can admire from the many paths that criss-cross the yard. There is also a sizeable population of bees living here. Opposite the castle is the botanical gardens/greenhouse. I tried to add plants from every biome and make each section of plants look unique. I also avoided anything from the nether as I don’t know how that will play into the head canon of my fictional Minecraft world yet. There was an attempt at a cherry blossom pink tree, but that did not go well, so I used my custom birch trunk with azalea leaves tree instead.

Overall, I’m pleased with the build. Now that I have a job that sees me sitting at a desk for nearly 7 hours a day, I don’t have a lot of interest in doing the same thing when I get home, and have been spending my free time doing real life crafts (shameless plug of my crafts @jbry). Sadly, this prevented me from taking part in more of Clovercrafted’s Buildtober, but sometimes life says you have to be an adult and not play Minecraft all the time. I don’t know how soon another update will come, but I do often think about the world I’ve been making, and would like to spend some more time in it.

The reveals from minecraft live felt a bit underwhelming to me, like the lack of plant variety from a biome called the Pale Garden, so I tried coming up with some quick little concepts! I really hope they do end up expanding upon the features announced, I'd love to see their features have more depth.

I love the pale garden and how it's like a parallel to dark forests. I love how the two divert expectations.

Dark forests, despite their name, are saturated and full of life. Even compared to regular forests, there's a lot more biodiversity than many of the "basic" biomes. There's three whole different trees found there, giant mushrooms, and plenty of flowers. They're one of the biomes capable of spawning a lush cave underneath it. It has its dangers just like any other overworld biome, obviously, but it's nothing overly more than anywhere else. Traversing it can be tricky sometimes and illagers may take residence in the biome's woodland mansions, but it's ultimately a very colorful and lively environment.

Opposing it is the new pale garden. Usually white and light colors are seen as pristine and good, but the pale garden takes it the opposite direction and goes right into uncanny valley territory. It has none of the color of dark forests, none of the biodiversity, none of the liveliness. It has trees and moss that look familiar, but something is off. It has a signature mob, but even the creaking is just a puppet of the trees, not really sentient, not really even plotting against anything. There's "life", but, once again, it's wrong.

I think the pale garden is a wonderful addition to Minecraft's world building as it is, but the deliberate parallel to dark forests? Delicious.

yk what? fuck this negativity. minecraft live wasn’t that bad and the new update looks cool as hell.
