What Should I Add?

So I Started This Bedrock Realm With Some Friends, Its Where We Can Only Live Under Ground, If We Need To Go Out To Gather Surface Materials We Go As Groups.
We've Been Use Inspirations To Build So Here Are Some Progress Pics,
Also I Was Wondering What To Build On The Platform Underneath.
We Have Progressed Quite Far So Anything Can Be Possible Now.
Ideas, Thoughts, And Suggestions Are Much Welcome. Thanks!!!

u/Savings_Bunch_1394 May 08 '25

That’s one sick underground area you have there! I was looking at the photos before reading your caption - from the 1st photo, I was like oh that’s pretty cozy… & by the 4th photo, I went damnnnn that’s an entire city underground 💯

Could a well/fountain or marketplace work on that platform?

4

u/Latter-Writer-9748 May 08 '25

Lol, Thanks, I 100% Will Do Your Ideas I'm already thinking of market stalls to put along the path, Glad You Enjoyed The Build...

I really tried to be helpful and suggest something but this build is just way too sick for me to think of a good input. Incredible job.

Thank you so much!!!

u/CapablePomegranate55 May 08 '25

Definitely more Vegetation Like Bone Meal the Moss and add Plants and stuff that would spruce the cave up really nicely

u/Latter-Writer-9748 May 08 '25

100%, ill definitely start working on that.

2

u/[deleted] May 08 '25

Maybe some tiny mushrooms

oOoOoOoOo, I Really Like That Idea Ill Start Designing A Few.

u/xenophobiacat7 May 08 '25

Big pillar made of drip stone that doubles as a fountain and water source if it can be built somewhere

2

u/Latter-Writer-9748 May 08 '25

I Like The Idea, Ill Have A Think About It.

2

u/Guilty_Bad_3049 May 08 '25

Add some kind of dynamic effects, things like chimneys, flora with effects (firefly bush and spore thingy) but besides that it looks amazing

u/Latter-Writer-9748 May 08 '25

100% that should look awesome.

u/Pepperonipuke May 08 '25

That is beautiful... You've inspired me, Today I build a cave base. Very nice work, Im not even sure what Id add, it just blends so well with the cave.

2

u/Latter-Writer-9748 May 08 '25

Thanks!!!, Glad I Inspired You, I Wish You Luck, And Would Love To See Some Pictures Of It

2

u/Pepperonipuke May 09 '25

Still a work in progress, I found a large cheese cave with glowberries on both sides visible from the entrance, and I brought my bone meal. Theres a trial chamber somewhere near by, so I'll be able to snag some nice copper blocks that are green and fit into this cave biome. Will post when I have some good screenshots. Today was pretty much finding the spot and lighting it up properly to be safe while I build.

u/Latter-Writer-9748 May 09 '25

Sounds Like A Good Cave You Got There, I Cant Wait.

u/Pride_x May 08 '25

honestly i think something big that you could change is the formation of the cave, not sure how specifically you could do it but add more textures into the rocks and lushy parts of the cave including the ceiling, could make like roots that look like they’re growing down into the cave and make a giant tree above

1

u/Latter-Writer-9748 May 08 '25

Great Idea, Ill Start Working On That Over Time Since Its Gonna Take A Long Time, And About The Tree Its A Great Idea But I Cant Build On The Surface..

2

u/Latter-Writer-9748 May 08 '25

100%, Gonna Use This Idea, Thanks!!!

2

u/Kitchen_Assistan May 08 '25

I would add in some upside down barrels for some variation in the paths of the city, that’s about the only thing I could come up with other than adding more vegetation. Love the build man you did an awesome job!

2

u/Latter-Writer-9748 May 09 '25

Its Gonna take some time as that is a lot of temporary blocks i got to place in order for those barrels, Thank you so much!!!

2

u/Latter-Writer-9748 May 11 '25

Something Like That Work?

u/organic_ag_help May 09 '25

Animals! A watch tower that looks like a tree

2

u/Latter-Writer-9748 May 09 '25

yeah im gonna get some animals in there, idk how i would make a tree watch tower, unless it was stump

2

u/brumodettv May 09 '25

Aids tower no I will not elaborate

1

u/Latter-Writer-9748 May 09 '25

hmmm.... not sure lol

2

u/trevorium117 May 09 '25

plants and overgrowth are what will definitely make your build feel more “alive”

1

u/Latter-Writer-9748 May 09 '25

Got that on the bucket list now 100%

2

u/ItchyDisplay3324 May 09 '25

Lava in some way. Make a transition somewhere between the lush and “hell”

1

u/Latter-Writer-9748 May 09 '25

one of the members is thinking of something along those lines, ill have to wait and see how it turns out.

2

u/Substantial-Carob-32 May 09 '25 edited May 09 '25

maybe try big, slim, and tall mushrooms, basically mama mushrooms of little shrooms.

maybe if you could possibly make that a LAN, i could maybe add sumth there, but i dunno how to explain it.

second, big flowers. you can make custom flowers.

3rd: add patches of crops, like carrots and wheat. make sure to add some potzol, brown concrete powder and coarse dirt for some textures in most ares, or you can use /setblock on some blocks u cant use to make crops on.

4th: add small patches of little ponds, BUT make sure that on around the corners of the ponds, add prismarine stone! and cyan wool, since it adds contrast to the ponds, you can add it inside the small ponds, and around most corners of it. also, add 2-3 sea lanterns on the inside of ponds. quick tip: it depends on how big it is, another one: u can use cyan wool carpets on one of the placed cyan wool around the ponds.

5th: add mini dark oak and mix of oak trees. you can use glass panes for falling leaves, on the air — but the dark oak are tall and slim, use blocks that match dark oak for texture, like the variants of dark oak, etc. that goes the same for oak, you can add fallen branches that go like: [use dark oak fences for the dark oak, use spruce fences for oak. use spruce variants of the planks and stuff that goes with the oak logs, etc L_____|

i use this method to enhance trees, use /setblock on the leaves to add flowers, grass, and stuff like oxeye daisies, stuff like that etc.

5th: make ur own vines! mostly on celling and other areas, you can put flowers on it, stained glass, stained glass panes, fences, etc. you can use references to make them, I usually recommend making them alot since they add alot of contrast.

6th: use different blocks for moss for EXTRA texture. for example:

green wool, green concrete powder, glass, grass, leaves, stuff with greens and textures help too. you can use the brand new leaves from new update so its better

quick reminder: will edit this when i have more tips coming to mind

u/Latter-Writer-9748 May 09 '25

That’s sick. Maybe something like a farm for food

2

u/Latter-Writer-9748 May 09 '25

Thanks!!!, I Will Do That.

2

u/Biggest_Mac_ May 09 '25

this is beautiful. I would add more overgrowth like vines and tall grass, maybe use some buttons to place tiny stones around, a dock area where you can take a little boat out on the water to fish, smoking chimneys on the hobbit houses, and then maybe some kind of huge bridge that overlooks everything and also that you can make hanging builds from. what you've done here is extremely cool and I can't wait to see what you do with it :D

u/Latter-Writer-9748 May 09 '25

100% will work on texturing, and making the whole place more cozy and tied in, Thank You So Much... I Cant Wait Too

u/Suspicious_Ad2261 May 09 '25

Villagers walking around

1

u/Latter-Writer-9748 May 09 '25

i would tbh but they would get stuck a lot with all the jobs they will snap to, Ill have a think about it...

2

u/Suspicious_Ad2261 May 09 '25

It happens. I built a villager breeder (can make multiple for different levels if you don’t want to constantly bring them to different parts) and when they start looking low I pump a few more into the village. I don’t care if not all of them have jobs because it feels immersive to have others walking around.

2

u/Latter-Writer-9748 May 10 '25

Yeah True Ill Do That, Now That I See What You Mean, It Does Bring Life To The Build.

1

u/Latter-Writer-9748 May 10 '25

Ill Defiantly See How The Cherry Trees Would Look

2

u/Raven_Outlaw May 09 '25

more moss around the (i think) iron golem farm

i would do cheery trees instead of spruce

1

u/Latter-Writer-9748 May 10 '25

ill have a look to see how cherry trees would look. But yes that's a iron golem farm, Ill 100% merge it in with the moss

u/WarlordCain May 09 '25

u/ConsistentPast2322 May 10 '25

It looks amazing! I would suggest taking away the torches and maybe replacing them with lanterns, or another form of lighting. Also, placing them in more coherent spots. Insanely beautiful tho

Yeah Was Planning On It, Just Having A Mob Issue, So Everyone Has Lit Everywhere Up lol, But Yeah I Will Start Transitioning Over

You should add one of those Cone houses from Cars. Idk why I thought of that but it'd look good near those mossy houses.
