When you don't want to use up all of your wood making ladders, use shears to collect and use vines instead:) They make your mining adventures a little different and colorful.

SIMPLE BUT TIME CONSUMING: old/abandoned roads.

First zip ahead to place logs and lanterns so you remember generally where you're going. Then tap like crazy with a shovel to leave the traditional path marks scattered about. Choose two or three types of bricks, and replace some of the dirt blocks with each kind.

This is a long-term project for me that will connect several maps, but you can make smaller roads and paths around gardens or ponds that lead to your house etc.

There are a lot of of cool and complex designs out there, but this is a super simple building blog as that is my favorite way to build. THAT SAID, I thought I'd make a little post about simple ways to make builds look more complex.

Here's what I'm starting with. In my toolbar you'll see a mix of objects made of different types of wood. The simplest ways to make things look complex?

1) Cover every face of the block with something and 2) mix up the types of wood

Try these outside of a dirt or tree house for a cool effect. Maybe there's a cave wall you can cover with things. Mix them up and don't worry about it.

SO FANCY. Just cover all parts of the block.

For me, a whole house done in this way feels too busy. But I'll use things like this around the entrances, or when I'm making smaller camps.

I mean it's one way to do it

CAN you get an enchanted book by fishing in your own garden? Yes. Yes you can. Ridiculous but true lol

This is like the tree equivalent of a dirt house haha. I love these kinds of builds: see trees close together, then fill in the gaps with whatever stones you're carrying, leaves and glass.

One of my favorite ways to tuck torches away and make them more like lamps: trap doors! Of course you can’t use the solid ones, but the ones you can see through (oak, jungle wood) work great. The only thing is, the torch and trap door can’t take up the same block of space, so you have to put up a “dummy” block (one you aren’t going to keep there) to get the trap door to go the right way:

1. there’s where I want my torch!

2. I add the dummy block I don’t want to keep

3. I tap the part of the dummy block closest to the torch to place the trap so it will swing to cover the torch

4. I tap the trap door to make sure it goes where I want

5. I destroy the dummy block

6. The trap will still open and close

Dark oak treetop base! Still adding details here and there but the best decision was definitely to add a small potato garden. If you don't want to go to groud level any time soon, or if you're in a biome that has few animals, potatoes are the best things to plant. Baked potatoes are the best if there's no meat around.
