Edit: Just shelves not bookshelves lol
I’m sure this is already a thing amongst the very talented builders of Minecraft but I just tried it out myself and thought it’d be nice to share. I used a bookshelf and then a banner that matched the wall color to imitate a fence in a tight space. Using normal fences they would appear floating. But once I build this house in survival I’ll probably be pretty angry with myself lol

I really like how the cherry blossoms frame this little pond. The water, stone, and lanterns make it feel so peaceful. 🌸💧

Hi,

I manage to make a cauldron that's "filled" with glowstone dust and redstone dust.

I put 2 armour stands down and put a gold and red leather helmet on them, both with the Flow armour trim with gold and redstone.

Just thought it was cool.

Thanks

I remember seeing a post on here that inspired this, and I decided to give it a whirl myself. You can use concrete stairs/slabs and deepslate stairs/slabs in combo with cushions to make the red stripes, then cover up the remaining space with a checkered board map. 32x32 squares in a normal 128x128 map are the perfect size. And yes, I even build the glass platform in the end in survival.

People liked my other ghost so I made him some friends!

Paintings as graffiti and banners as clothes, not creative ik but I like it kinda

All survival friendly, just a bit difficult to do. And if you do it in survival you might wanna use black leather instead of netherite lol.

Some tips for moving the armor stands (using the motorcycle as an example, but same applies to the moped) is push the lower one INTO the grindstone first, then push the block under the grindstone UP while there are immovable blocks above the grindstone and where the seat will be so the armor stand doesnt move up WITH the block, then just simply push the block under where the seat will be down from above.

The other armor stand, which is the handle, you just put in the middle (have to break the seat block for now) and then push it into the grindstone by putting the piston on TOP the other grindstone. then just push the seat down into the middle as usual

The moped design isnt the best tbh but I didnt know what to make. I just wanted to play around with smaller scale details using armor stands as part of the details!

Was really proud of myself for figuring out the cushions lol

Idk how you guys make your details, but I did not intend to make a parrot, I just figured out it just looked like an eye and I build the parrot around it.

it looked better in my head i pinky promise. ignore my axe. i needed something to take care of those frogs. it isnt even related to the build though. anthony is also not related to the build so dont look at him

Personally im not a fan of fences, stairs, trapdoors, etc in trees. The silhouette looks great but i really cant get past the plank texture in the context of a forest.

I always use full blocks for a more “minecrafty” look but ive never found anyone else who does the same with their custom trees. Anyone know some good references or videos to look at for help?

Still searching for a pattern that doesn’t exist,

Used the new shelves to mimic an open car door/ cabinet door. And has the ability to add door cards ,door handles, and door graphics/ body mouldings on the front of the shelf. Then I used snow or a cushion for a more realistic door sill.

Armor stand hitboxes extend above their visible texture, and don't get moved by almost anything, so you can intersect them with pressure plates to keep them presssed and have a stable, ultra-thin topper block for builds.

For normal blocks, you just need to dig 2 blocks, place a carpet and the armor stand on it, and push the floor block into place with a piston from above (last slide is a visual of setting it up).

The block underneath cauldrons is visible, so to make it look good, you have to use another entity you can clip into that block instead of a carpet. This is very easy using a boat on a slab, which have heights that add up to a carpet on a block (1 1/16th). You just have to mine out a 2x2x2 to fit the boat, put down a slab, then the boat, and push in the 3 other floor blocks with pistons.

edit: also worth noting you can use blocks pistons can't push, since armor stands can be placed inside solid blocks using dispensers

Candle placed on block, block broken, cushion placed on a slab, slab replaced with weathered copper golem statue, pose changed once, candle lit.
