Frozen Iron Veins

Weekly one chunk biome 1 REMADE!

Left is new, right is old

So it's the final month of my little weekly one chunk biome project, and I feel like I've improved a lot with my builds, so to showcase some of that improvement I thought it'd be fun to try and revisit and remake the first four builds I made for this project every week! These builds are seperate from the project itself

The first one was Frozen Iron Veins, and this one turned out to be an even bigger difference than I expected.

It was the first build I made for this project, so I didn't really know what I was doing with my terrain building, and I can very clearly see that now when I look at the messy texturing of the floor, and the placements of the ice were really messy as well. The inconsistency of the snow layers on the ground don't make any sense either. Everything was just messy lol.

So I tried to fix all that... and I think it went really well actually

The shaping of the terrain in the new one is much nicer and smoother with the way I like to use slabs nowadays, and the texturing of the calcite and snow isn't just literally randomized with a trowel mod anymore. I stopped using that tool a couple months ago with Scorched Path, and ever since then I've noticed a big improvement in my builds actually lol

I made the iron veins a bit bigger than I first expected, but I quite like how much bigger they look here. Especially the ice surrounding it is a lot better since I tried to place it a bit more like they're spiked away from the veins, if that makes any sense.

Lastly, the plantage just gives the build a lot more life, which it desperately needed since it looked quite dull imo.

Overall I think this was a really great improvement, I'm really happy to see how much I've learned throughout this year cause that was exactly what I was hoping when I started this project.

Next week will be time for Golden Hell :)
