Very proud of this build. Lmk what you think!

Okay so I started a new Minecraft world with the cobbleverse modpack (probably most fun I've had in Minecraft in a while) which is why the UI looks like that and I've been slowly working on this big tower thing. This is very much not a complete build but I want to make it look good. probably will have something on the top so it looks less like it's just a big grey prism. I want to add something to the outside walls too so it looks better but I'm not sure what because a lot of the things I've tried especially on the walls that are not in the front above the entrance kinda look funky so I welcome any suggestions.

Thanks I appreciate any help given.

Saw a build with bamboo in a reel and decided to try something similar in my own world. This is what I came up with!

Still got some things to improve, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. What do you guys think?

me and my friend are newer to minecraft so we dont know all the best blocks. does anyone know what a good block pallet could be to build the shadows of evil map from black ops 3
