now let me place the jellyfish you get from fishing
i want an ambient lightsource for water that isnt just like jellyfish blocks
hey i suggested that
Ultimately we'll see if it goes anywhere, may not be a thing for hotfixes for 1.4.5 but possibly a later day as it'd be a very nice addition π
You're proving my point in the doc too, that builders want ambient critters like this in aquatic builds
this is why i updated the light sources page (just added the blocks but no other info
)
my specific comments in the doc is that while the jellyfish jars are neat & good for lighting, them being restricted in just the jars can make them a bit awkward to work with (+ look a little awkward in some cases)
e.g
kinda looks like bubbles
relatively, which makes them not terrible but
which is what happens when you place a land critter in water
or a water critter on land
ye
fragment blocks are one of my go-tos for stuff like this
they also paint quite nicely
plus, i also really like reef block
building outside of journey is so restictive i hate it
coralstone was fine (namely after the touched up sprite), but for a bit more colour, reef is fantastic
plus good texture too
kind of why i don't do so
i purely build on a server & with 1.4.5 stuff, in journey
i don't even want to think about banner obtainability for builds in regular worlds
just because of how far in the game some of the useful stuff is
angry dandelion banner in particular
plus echo coating is also my first short to do quite well too so i am quite happy with that
that lamp post is nice
i knew everything else but def good tips
yeah
it is just general build tip stuff, nothing too specific
like even the lamp post i don't exactly do my designs in full
just simply the fact you can make the regular lamp post slightly better
Are there content creators that are rivals
guys hear me out should i mine my whole world out to make a floaty world?
i mean, they added skyblock so if you really want one without the effort you could do that
i wanna do it with effort so i can hoarde all my blocks
i dont really think so, if there is then its just a little gag probably
i like hoarding for some reason
i mean, its kinda up to you
said design looks more like this
i think its cool
or variations
then again im a noob when i build
point is having a bit more to the bottom of the lamp posts with columns or fences
There's no noob when it comes to building
as the regular lamp post is quite thin on it's own
ty
also hm i notice water isn't saving correctly again for 4 sloped tiles
oh well too lazy to fix for a new pic
I thought those were players π
the mannequins? nop
Yea
I thought they were players but then I saw only just brown color
if i was on pc i would make the most killer shi fr fr i just suck with switch lmao
Yeayea
i dont wanna use a male character model but i hate that the female model has smaller legs and that the sleeves are cut off
also i wanna try to make some more vanities
the interesting thing with mannequins on mounts; animated mounts like the black spot or cute fishron are static, however digging molecart is animated
there might be other examples but this is the one i noticed
how do you come up with some of the ideas you do π
what about them?
like if i knew the ideas you use i could probably implement them in builds
but i could never come up with any of them
The mole cart is like a cushion
Well I've kind of just been building since last decade, so naturally I have quite a refined style of how my ideas come together
Plus I look at builds at more than just builds in some cases
Worldbuilding being involved for some cases, or giving a sense of exploration
But it really varies from piece to piece
the only like idea that i did on my own is custom gem trees
Mannequins are something in particular I've been using to help my builds feel more "alive" ever since 1.4
& they just keep improving them, which is great
also these chains, these were fun to do
When they added Minecart functionality to Mannequins in one of the 1.4.5 hotfixes I immediately jumped to make these
they werent too hard, def just tedious
Giant custom chains are a staple for connecting planetoids, not something I do, but rather something I'm well familiar with seeing from 1.3
youve probably seen this build i did but this is my best example of a custom gem tree
and its not even that special, just a normal tree without leaves
Solid, my only comment is that I feel regular living wood's texture doesn't quite match gem trees as much. Would recommend another stone-like texture or just more stone & living mahogany
That is just my opinion though ofc, still looks great
Living mahogany is very underrated for stone mixes & as you can see with the minecart example, I use it quite a bit
It has a very nice texture for stone mixes overall
taken from khaios, bubblegum block is decent for some dirt mixing
yeah, that was the other one he mentioned, couldnt remember
Boulder obviously is a good new addition, but best to be a bit sparing with it
yeah
someone said, once you see the boulder texture you used too much
probably you
yea
do you have an example of any lunar fragment bricks being used?
1 moment
Boulder is good cause itβs rounded which is relatively uncommon
stardust i haven't touched
same with nebula
however solar & vortex i have
moreso solar
solar used here with gray paint, radio thing full moon morning lighting in a blizzard to dampen the warm lighting #terraria-creations message
bringing out a mtg reference again, i could see them being somewhat decent for a birthing pod design
i was not expecting the pic to be that big
solar also works good in a hive mix with hive & fragment block
plus, the warm lighting is a benefit here
looks like retro monolith without the monolith
radio thing goes a long way & is the best monolith π
well that is the thing, full moon lighting
i guess its also the dont stave monolith
but i also have like 25 minutes in dont starve
Now this just looks like a sauna
that is radio thing, yes
examples of radio thing's lighting outside of a full moon
much more warm, much harsher
off topic and if you dont mind me asking, where do you get your like overall ideas for builds from?
vs again full moon lighting
uh
it's complicated to really describe how my brain functions, but i constantly have ideas flowing basically nearly at all times
mmmm
random ideas, inspirations from media, certain music i want to build to, etc
specific stuff i want to practice, try out, etc
tl:dr
- harsher warmer regular lighting outside of full moon great for well, more harsh environments. examples such as desert builds, crimson, etc
- full moon lighting much colder, more tranquil, great for builds like in the snow biome, ocean, etc
all depends on the kind of environment you're using it for
it can go a long way
i eventually will be doing a whole video explaining radio thing in depth, but that won't be for a good few months
golden ridge
aha
here is the examples of what radio thing is referencing from dst
thanks to, random google images
for regular vs full moon
it would be nice if i understood how my brain works π
then from there, time of day also is a major impact. as obviously the pillars pic here looks much brighter than the firewatch tower
same applies to full moon lighting, it becomes much softer cold kind of lighting in the morning compared to early to middle of the night
in which it is more akin to this
Everyone probably would want to be able to understand their brain in full, at least in some sense
i like have a stream of thoughts but i cant hear anything still idk
Question, uh what did you use to get this type of vibes
radio thing with full moon lighting
Ohh thanks
but my brain still feels like crowded often
was correct in my assumption
Its actually pretty to look at
precisely why I adore radio thing lighting so much & am the #1 fan for it
to the point of @'ing Red on Bsky about getting a placed version added, which was in fact added in 1.4.5
albeit me & Red have talked before (& still do) it was one I really wanted to get out there lol
thats a cute bathroom
like i havent tried this out but seeing the spikes reminded me. i had the idea to use negative painted spikes as stars
2nd one i've ever built & a much larger one, thanks
Does anyone have a good reference for creating a spiral shape?
youd probably be better at applying this than i would be
mmmmm using spikes like that isn't really what I do
as I use spikes for parkour usage mostly, in which I have a very specific shaping style
this here has one example of it, let me grab another
another 2 rather
about to do my first castle build π¬
i didnt even think thatd be a parkour thing at first
also this (1st image) makes a good example of a darker stone mix, i was going to talk about it earlier
Spikes are fantastic for parkour usage
How you place them for mapmaking, matters a lot
namely for the leniency of the map's gameplay & how polished it feels
i have some parkour map experience OUTSIDE of penguin
which is why i asked you if your maps were available anywhere outside of penguin
well no, they really shouldn't be unless someone used a modified client to take them off the server
I have to learn parkour cause some maps in DGZ just have goofy ahh obstacles to get an item
I manage Parkour on PG & it has been my main hobby for the past 6y now
Which from that & the help of our Developers coding features for it, it has become our most expansive gamemode & probably the most dedicated Parkour community for Terraria as a whole
Which this again loops back to my whole point about some parts of my builds having worldbuilding involved, or the sense of exploration to traverse. By nature of Parkour maps being, maps you play with different movement tech involved
If it wasn't for Parkour building being an interest of mine, I wouldn't be where I am now as a builder if one at all
one of my friends made this but i did play it
Hook map?
this is from like early 1.4
you got uhh
soc, emerald hook, and fart in a jar and thats it
me and my friends got into trying out terraria parkour bc of celeste
and we had no reference besides celeste
There is plenty of overlap yea
Some of our mapmakers have actually made modded celeste maps of relative popularity
Graveyard monolith π
theres more maps that this as well
some examples being Dusk City by Meario, Everlasting Farewell, Calypta & Midnight Monsoon by Luma, Mount Vesuvius by Yoshachobi7, etc
Dusk City & Midnight Monsoon both being Strawberry Jam maps of course
Eventually I do plan to make some full Celeste maps of my own, I have attempted many times over the years, but I just haven't quite got to where I want as a creative in that space to put maps out yet
This also applies to many other creative forms with games, such as making custom Lethal Company moons, mod ideas for TModloader, etc. If there is some way I can interact with a game to create, I'm probably in some form interested
BTD6 I have one map editor level I'm quite proud of, then another WIP that has been sitting around for quite some time to finish still, but happy with so far. Point is I just like creating things as it is one of my favourite parts of games
also this one, theres still more examples π
Why does it look like an intestine
i would love to be more into creating for various games but i like terraria too much tbh
No offence
This one probably sparks a worse reaction than the other one
i dont remember the right or leftmost ones but i remember the others
that one was kinda hell to complete
Is ur friend like intestine fan or something 
Ok now to actually comment on it for a moment. A lot of builders "new" to making parkour, will often make layouts like that
i think they just drew with tedit
Lots of open room, spikes covering the edges like that without much thought exactly
Lots of tunnel-like shapes
But once you start to get better at building, naturally your structuring will be more refined
You won't be making as excessively large layouts
these were all made before i got into building so i had no reference of good and bad really
Baby steps they say
Obviously some forms of movement do still benefit from this style of layout
Such as a dash alongside rocket boots
But the forms of movement that benefit from large tunnel layouts aren't nearly as popular
this doesnt even seem possible to make idk what they were cooking
Depends on the movement
fart in a jar, soc, and emerald hook
If a hook is involved, it would be quite easy to make happen
Then yeah that isn't an issue whatsoever
i guess "cheesing" it wouldnt be too hard
If anything, how open it is just makes it easier for a hook, not even to mention the dash & very good double jump
Yeah i think thats doable with a hook and double jump
A block that prevents hooks to attach on
Hmmmm
shimmer π
Ohhhh
it also has a fun interaction immediately bouncing you with anti-gravity hook by nature of how that hook works
"Kelp" is an example of a map of mine that is a small & refined hook layout even if it is for a beginner by being incredibly easy
Which from there you can kind of see how open hook gameplay can be, even if it is just the regular grappling hook
hook parkour with dash and cloud in a bottle is really fun when theres only spikes to hook on to
while fun, it can certainly be harder to balance
more refined & restricted movement can certainly help balance gameplay's difficulty a lot more
which then can lead to less repetitive & more meaningful gameplay as well. rather than just doing the same stuff over & over again, there can be so much more depth
side thing, i have a cyberpunk city im "making" (havent touched it in a while) and would like some guidance π
i only have the layout currently which sucks
Is this like those famous Facebook post where like,
Which one will fill first
Or something
i dont think im online enough to get that π
My fault
Does it have rooms inside or is it just a display city?
i have this little bunny thing i made tho that greets you when you enter at least
itll likely just be a display city
this is a server so i cant really keep npcs
Well, if you're doing cyber-punk, you'll want to figure out how much of nature you'll incorporate...
Some people feel like you'll be 50%/50%, others feel like nature will be absent... But I think you'll like the equipment in this.
im not even really happy with the layout tbh π
Keep it as it is until you figure out where you wanna start. π
will comment this leans more solarpunk than cyberpunk per say, just the distinction between the styles. but yes nature can still be plenty incorporated into cyberpunk builds
well not that it leans more solarpunk, rather this is solarpunk
As a layout it is plenty solid for a smaller cyberpunk build, as a lot of the cyberpunk style is to clutter buildings together. but it can be quite overwhelming to try & learn
i also kinda need a way to distinguish between certain builds with them being so similar
yeah that is the other thing
cyberpunk leans very dark palette wise
so it really comes down to how you decorate each building to help distinguish them
i will note that cyberpunk is where you get most usage out of negative paint, that is for sure
the amount of bizarre neon colours you can get work really well
one of ebsiffers builds from tewwawia season 1 that he didnt finish π
for example, my bestie literally used negative painted ducky wallpaper for a cyberpunk build & it worked fantastic where she used it
so like the point is; if some blocks, walls or furniture interest you to try out with some wacky colours, chances are cyberpunk as a style is the perfect place
i see
ye
cyberpunk as a style is the best excuse to use a lot of bizarre negative paint combinations
im not that creative 
gemspark and bubble block are carrying
try things out, the list of blocks & walls are your oyster
cyberpunk is definitely where gemspark blocks also see most of their use for sure yea
they work really well
i do have every block in a world so i could see them painted i guess
i still kinda wanna pivot to a solarpunk tho
i feel like that design doesnt fit well with that idea
well yeah, that falls under cyberpunk
You can have one or two builds that have "natural" technology.
iβm also limited with blocks
bc were only pre plant rn
so none of the like βtechβ blocks
The problem is, "convenience" is going to win over natural methods.
just the point about the last example was that what was shown is specifically solarpunk rather than cyberpunk given how it is a build focused on the natural energy sources worked in with nature such as solar panels & wind turbines. which are a staple for solarpunk
plus the overall composition of the build being much brighter, more colourful
those are the major distinctions
What might help you with building and organizing thoughts is that every cyberpunk city has an energy source.
It doesn't have to "connect" to each location, but it has to connect in the sense that, every part of the city obtains a piece of that energy to run.
my main idea was that i was gonna go for a cyberpunk 2077 kinda style
The picture I included, clearly, shouldn't be utilizing Vortex pillar technology, but in this economy, I mean...
5 to 7 bunnies every third day, or an unruly NPC, is it really that bad lol?
Can you use asphalt lol?
i def cant be using a vortex pillar for an energy source (pre plant)
It's a reference Sour.
It's to shape an idea.
the only thing thats "done" is this little overpass
Just to make another comment on the "Punk" styles as a whole, they are fantastic for worldbuilding which is something I have mentioned a few times now. The kinds of concepts that go into the builds with these styles goes a long way. Like the kinds of energy sources for a cyberpunk build, what lead these styles of cities to be where they are in the first place, their sustainability methods, etc.
would love to worldbuild but this is next to me
Well I don't exactly mean worldbuild in the sense of making a whole world, but the concept & thought process behind builds. You can have purely separate builds in different worlds from each other that still connect & worldbuild by concept
I don't know lol... But it's nice, it's coherent... I know it's probably more solar punk than cyberpunk.
Agreed.
Just the kinds of creative stories or ideas, even if small, can help elevate a build conceptually
The process, the reason for why you chose to make it, etc
I don't even know what this thing is.
To me, it's a test of patience, like Jenga... This would be the only one of us kind of I built it, but it clearly means something to the creator.
once more im plagued with my eternal mental block
like all great ideas but i have no clue how to implement anything
But it uses something simple like the silly balloon and says, "This is actually an energy source that can rip open the earth and summon every single enemy from the game at once."
100% this, I'm always asking myself these types of questions when I'm making a build. I recently did a jungle pylon build and the story that I made in my head is that it's a reclaimed lihzard temple lost to time, dryad came in and made it her home and that kinda helped me set the palette, lay out a theme, and set the boundaries a bit. I kept asking myself, "well why would this work if this is the plot?" and I would reset the room and change it until I was happy with what fit my story
Sour, why does that specific picture stand out to you?
The one that you'd like to use as inspiration?
well i mostly chose it bc it was the best pic of what i envision when i think og cyberpunk 2077
but id say the biggest thing besides that is how almost dystopian it feels
like giant billboards plastered everywhere
its so full of life yet so lifeless
so full of color but still lacking in color
okay, dystopian is a good word, so what I'd go off that is the mood is going to be dark, the only thing bright in the build is going to be the neon signs
i currently have the mushroom biome to darken the vibe as well
ye that's good
Here are some color ideas...
You're a master with paint, so similar wall backgrounds with the same color may yield similar results, right?
did somebody say solarpunk?? (sorry I will use any excuse to repost this)
I always love this lol.
How did you do the globe?
Those should be easy items to find in pre-Hardmode.
This is the only other thing I could find...
Not mine but the way...
im a master at paint?!
You have all of those charts, right?
The ones with the blocks and the yield effects?
so i can paint them
tho i should probably get a version of every one painted
for quick access
very neon
Just jump in!
I'll be back later... Ciao!
npc housing, jungle, Aether (Caverns) and tundra
!!uses calamity items in mechanic's room and doors in aether house!!
Mushroom-covered Dragon Skull Cave. The horn spiral isn't great, but I did my best.
i love dragon builds
'Cause Dragons are cool, duh π
gif?
nooo why is my gif automodded...
gifs dont send here
oh
idk why
π
when i first saw this my brain was screaming modded and i couldnt find a reason why
I have no idea even how to mod XD
TBH I just googled "Terraria Dragon" and got roughly the shape of the jaw.
Add some living fire for the eye and nostril, and bada bing, dragon.
Bad spiral and all.
lol nah your fine
Added a little bedroom in the back.
id say youd want to make the horn wider
Fair
i looked up "terraria mosque" "terraria desert town" "terraria jungle town" "terraria sand castle" today
trying to make a desert city
just fishing for ideas LOL
im surprised there isnt a noteblock mod yet
chat dead?
yeah
night homie's
usually this chat is pretty slow
I'm here!

Hi.
Have you drawn any inspiration?
I was thinking about your situation though...
You aren't going to be fully creative if you don't have access to all the blocks.
while i havent done anything, i did random search on magic the gathering cards and saw this which is kinda cool
Hmm...
cant really be creative rn because i cant think of anything anyway
solarpunk is just cottagecore cyberpunk
change my mind
how so?
i dont have a reason to why not
it takes place in the future
its dominated by green corps
its all green and bloom and everything happy
and clean
though tbh I find it quite unrealistic for its overoptimism because of how irl green policies work
no surprise I rarely see it in mainstream fiction, opposed to the other punk genres
i dont think its supposed to be realistic
duh it's a fictional genre, still they are anchored to reality for it to be believable
among the punk genres, I find solarpunk & biopunk to be the most unrealistic
i never heard of solarpunk until the other day
@rugged wedge, what do you think about these two?
only cyberpunk
And I've actually never heard of cottagecore.
dang are you new to the internet?
idk, not bad i feel like they would def benfit from new blocks, mostly librarian
How tf
I mean, punk genres outside of cyberpunk are pretty rare in general
When was the last mainstream steam punk thing?
Wild wild west?
So, what happened was, I took all my points, and put them into skills that I already had...
But I've never really went out and put any more points into anything new.
rip
Cottagecore sounds like you're leaning hard into being Amish and barn-raising lol.
Yeah yeah yeah... I can admit to not knowing something lol.
Of course.
id rather grow up in a barn than an apartment π€ͺ
youre fine lol, its a fun building style
Lifting a skeletal barn and running across the fields before setting it down with thirty other guys.
#That'sTheDream.
That movie was so so.
I had to watch it again.
I swear when I watched it when I was younger, it was Will Smith and Robin Williams.
Anyways.
Which library matches that image you sent Sour?
Also, we have the same profile effect lol.
... And no.
sorry, working on taking pics of every block painted, more just doing something
id say the one on the left tbh
You don't like the huge clock room?
for a grand library the other one makes more sense
technically yes youre correct
cottagecore is essentially the rural lifestyle
living in a cottage
my internet is so bad today 
away from civilization and the often noisy, crime-ridden, stressful cities
dont expect any of the books to remain legible after being in water though
i tried sending the original card from magic but it got automodded
so if you wanna see it, its "Waterlogged Teachings//Inundated Archive"
trying to make this a google drive but i need to remove my deadname 
im too lazy to change my emails
yay
theres every block painted every color
its missing magical ice and poo is in the wrong spot but idc
i finished all of the pics when i realized the mistake and didnt wanna go back to change it
Is @glossy sail here
Same
despite its 1st trial run, its working okayish
164 gnomes in 1 day is pretty alright
damn that's pretty good, do the effects of gnomes on luck stack or is this farm just for fun?
yes
wait, do u mean the gnome statues or, luck increasing gnome spawns?
if gnome statues, no, their luck doesnt stack
164 would sell for like 2 plat roughly
but luck increases rare mobs spawns and gnomes are considered rare
also, the reason I built the gnome farm is for money
luck how placing a petrified gnome increase your overall luck
I need likely 300 plat coins worth of dynamite for... something
maybe add in a couple thousand wires too, idk
that seems overkill
and maybe, just maybe, a lever
nahhh
i got like 5k dynamite and only used about 2k on a mob farm and a hole from top to bottom thats a whole screen wide in a large world
okay, maybe its a little overkill
but
its prep
for actual world building
its for lore
cuz my characters name is Samael
you would need like 65x that for a large world roughly
ah but throwing them is boring
I wanna do it Tony Stark style
trust the process
it is absolutely necessary
any rocket launcher would be better anyway
phm
holy fck I am right
I kinda just eyeballed the total amount cuz I wasnt sure
but thanks for the clarifications
youd need roughly 140000 dynamite to clear a world (leaving margin for error). each dynamite is 20 silver, thats 2800000 silver or 280 plat
I'm looking to do a graveyard build in pre hard mode. Anyone got any ideas?
you could easily get him to 89% happiness tho pre boss so thats more like 250
the plants vs zombied graveyard
and max happiness would be 210 plat
how bout if using explosives?
idk, i only know how much you need to clear a screen size hole with dynamite bc ive done it
so Ig Id need 420 plat for 2 screen lengths
I could probably need less cuz my phone has lesser resolution than ur laptop
or pc
thats good
6.25 +/- 0.75 platinum coins
it seems explosives are less efficent than dynamite technically
dynamite breaks 177 blocks at max and explosives break 314 at max
156 blocks* but still more efficent
bc explosives take 3 dynamite
hey, could i get some building advice/help? ive been having artists block on how i should do my jungle village
specifically, a shaft i have down to my plantera/bee queen arena
like...for my hellivator im planning on doing a crane with a rope down, but i dont know what to do to fit a jungle/natural vibe
i wanna improve at building, make stuff i can be proud of and looks nice, but even the most basic stuff i feel overwhelmed with options and not having enough at the same time
i know you mentioned artists block but do you have any like rough idea of what youre going for possibly
and is it just a small 3 wide tunnel from digtoise
its 5 wide, could carve it out more and give it more rough texture
i had an idea, like it being an ancient temple opening or ancient well
that or an excavation shaft
and for the rest of the village, i was thinking a more natural vibe built around each of the NPC's. Of course im going with the standard dryad + witchdoctor + painter combo, i guess the painter would have a more recently built/normal looking house while the dryad and/or witchdoctor would live in huts, or in the side of a hill we have...
there's also a nice spot to put a pylon...lemme grab my land
not purposfully trying to overload you but this could help picking out blocks if you go for that
this does help a lot
pinterest or just google could also help for some help too
ive been assembling a collage/idea board, but a shaft is something hard to make look good...
this is my general building area
the others in my group insisted on having the shaft
and that little raised platform between the 2 cave entrances is where i plan on putting the pylon
i guess there's also the thing of making sure they're all close enough to each other to count
im going to bed real soon so i cant help with blocks from this but im sure other people will be able to help still
also, it follows the blocks wiki page image decently as well so you can reference that possibly for all of the pre 1.4.5 blocks]
like i keptt the general order of the blocks and the rough categories
thanks, i guess im struggling with a good idea for the outlines of these things
my idea would just be like a well that leads down to whatever
like...i did have 2 ideas, mostly stemming around this sort of vibe
or like this, but miniturized
what do you think?
kind whatβs was envisioning when you said temple
kinda what i was*
yikes iβm tired
yeah, maybe i should come back here in the morning
you can stay, i wonβt be
but yeah, the idea of it being an ancient, dried up well
also idk when someone else is getting on
also...god 25 blocks is tiny, i may need to compress things down more
also hereβs every block but black
in case you want a darker look
i like when the bricks i use in jungle builds are darker
im also limited in my block pallet due to pre hardmode
hmmm...could get darker the deeper it goes in, until it gives way to nature
iirc, this build doesnt use any hardmode blocks i dont think
#terraria-creations message
oooo nice
the other issue i have is...well, the guys on my sserver want the drop to be "safe" from things like bees, so making the shaft go all the way down as a tube...
if youβre post skeletron you can get echo coating
itβll hide the blocks but theyβll still act like a block is there

huh, fair, but i guess a part of me feels like thats cheating
yeah, you gotta be around for a bit
plus would get confusing when running away from stuff and hitting an invisible wall
Oh i see
you do you, i was pretty much giving an easy way out
the other idea i had was making just a reeeaaallllly deep tree
larger trees are a little hard to build and have them look like a tree rather than a wood tunnel
yeah...
thereβs another word but itβs a little strange and would make the sentence a little phallicβ¦
i mean, since itβs underground you wonβt really see the whole tree anyway so it could work out
So guys, im just going to describe it, i built a castle and has a 2 separate entrance room (i alr have dining and hall stuff) any idea on what should i put to it?
Im running out of ideas actually
i think it would be easier if i saw it, could you dm it to me and iβll repost it here
Okay
and steal it 
i wonβt steal it
so like the 2 right and left ones
Yep
a simple potted tree could be nice
Potted tree? Wait a sec idk that was a thing lol
iβd say just some plantlife whether itβs a potted tree, planter boxes, etc.
Potted Trees are decorative items purchased from the Dryad for 3* GC* each.
thereβs quite a few
Ohhh thank you π
also
Potted Lava Plants are placeable furniture items. They have a 1/2 (50%) chance of being dropped when opening an Obsidian Crate or Hellstone Crate.
They give off a considerable amount of light but do not count as light sources for NPC housingβ¦
I just finished everything in the city and a wide bridge, im only stuck with these empty rooms
Thank you, ill brb
anyone got tips on how to decorate this building? also, if yall got any other tips or stuff i could change on the building itself that'd be great π
You could use different chandeliers or more for lighting, candelabras on platforms work too
Also, everything in here is considered a table for housing purposes, you can be very flexible with room designs that include housing
Use sink
There's also potted trees, pots, planter boxes, placable healing and mana potions, paintings, dye plants, plates + food item
The rubblemaker and portable kiln can also help make some decor
Love that
Bathtub my favourite table
how do i add a pictureπ₯Ί
#terrarian-role-info while you wait for that you can use imgur.com
The lightening ambience is pretty good. It's got a cool castle vibe
Bathtubs do NOT have a flat surface
the floor of the bathtub
hello, so ive been still thinking about what to do with my builds and i have roughly an idea...im just struggling with some aspects
potted trees my belovedπ₯°
genuine question, how do people make 3d stuff like this? do they just paint everything a shade darker and keep on going or what? genuinely shocking
AI surely i can barely make a wooden box
lol
Simply put, a collection of builds I've made over the last two years (and some really old stuff from 2014, just to show how improvement is inherent to practice)
The Cathedral of Rifts
My latest build, made for the 10th Anniversary of the game, winner of the screenshot category, roughly 40 hours...
2021
Pretty sure ai imaging wasnt around at that time especially not of such quality
yes and no
paint IS used to make thigns darker, but actuation is also a major part of it, allowing you to make blocks darker without altering their colour
most 3D builds that aren't purely monochrome
mmmm boulder rain
How... Did you decide to set up your button configuration like that?
settings > controls
No, not "how" lol...
I meant, "why" do you have your configuration set like that?
Like, you have two whip buttons...
its not for whips
Your jump is at the bottom of the right side instead of the top of the right side...
For the purpose of the demo, I'm referencing it as a whip button.
my layout covers 3 things, fight, build, and everything else
its all for convenience
no
I'm just curious as to the setup.
I've never tried that.
I've created a control setting called "Camera Mode"...
It eliminates every button but the direction pad and the jump button, and they're both smaller than default.
yeah they cleverly use either black and gray paint or they use darker blocks

the boulders and the harpies together made me think you were moving to the right at high speed, until i remembered that boulders can roll π
also, defensive housing shenanigans
That's cool
So we're all playing summoner class right now
looking good.. i think..
im gonna add dirt walls in the pillars as a "support"
it might look clearer when i finish building it
just a little fun project
something like this
i built something similar hope this can hlep
You can try to make the land bigger
Are you going for like, an underpass on a mountain, or just a floating thing
liek a tunnel being worked on under construction idk how to explain it
im gonna add crates and stuff
also maybe some like tiny hut at the top with a rope going down to thje bottom
im honestly just free styling
That's one way to improve
Kind of like a mine is being made and a mineshaft at the bottom of it?
yes
Landscaping it can be a pain
mm not quite sure if a hammered part looks better than non hammered
You can try to only hammer a few blocks and leave ones as it is
The top could use more varied terrain tbh
Looks a bit flat
Maybe that'd help
what a struggle to make shape for shape that i'm not used to
i want to add foliage but i dont know how to
like grass walls or something
im also gonna plant trees i just dont really have acorns right now
More foliage would work but i think the terrain could use some work first
No use adding foliage on terrain that looks unnatural
how do you suggest i change the terrain?
More hills and bumps, hammered as well
Small snippet from that one build i keep reposting, here's an example
I hardly ever have full blocks without hammered/sloped blocks next to them
im horrible at this
It's your first time
You don't need to despise yourself, you'll eventually improve:)
That looks good to be honest
Try to make things asymmetrical
Would help it look more natural
Things, especially foliage, are hardly ever summetrical
You can try to watch tutorials on how to landscape, or just place blocks until it looks appealing to you
mm i think i prefer how it was before, might opt for a slightly more simplistic look
Up to you, a build looks the best when you think it looks good
true
i really like the like quarter block that happens once you hammer a block once
probably just gonna put a few of those around
Also as for the foliage, you can use the rubblemaker, goblin tinkerer sells it
As for the other two, the demolitionist sells them.
This is already pinned if you ever need it
#terraria-creations message
Seeds from the dryad always work too
The windmill would look so much better if u use a bunch of actuators and timers to make it look like its actually spinning
nonetheless amazing tho
Living leaf walls,
Uhh grass walls also from the dryad
i dont have the living leaf wand unfortunately
Don't need it
You need a living loom
i think im gonna opt for only grass walls and differently painted grass walls
ah
You don't need the wand for living leaf/wood walls
Living loom is for that
Shimmer your normal loom
To get a living loom
Or find one in the big living trees
arent there many living looms in the trees?
ah ok
If you don't find one in there
The shimmering a regular loom into a living one is a fallback option in case your world doesn't have any
oh god i only have one living tree in this world
do they only spawn in expert and above? ive never seen one in my classic worlds
Where's the pins at
Although there is a chance your world won't have any
yess lliving loom
It had one?
Do you have access to actuators yet?
yes
no clue what those are
Nice
oh look
They're the things that allow you to put blocks in the background
Perfect
Oh sweet
is there a way to get mossy stone walls or something?
Scrape itt
You can get moss through using a paint scraper on moss, then i assume you can craft it with stone into mossy stone walls
You should use vine walls instead
The hell's a vine wall?
I don't think its called a vine wall but
It's this one
Why did I call it vine wall
π€Ά
Ecto mist is a graveyard biome
Relatable, but I just collect the tombstones
arghh i shouldve doen that
is there a way to make walls thinner?
yes
this is also on the wiki
under echo coating
might add it to echo walls as well but idk
or maybe just background walls\
*i should mention beams are generally avoided when using them for their namesake because they take up block space
using fences to create beams while not taking up block space (but taking wall space instead) is a more widely used method
ah alr
also ebonwood walls and large bamboo
i'm not saying theyre bad blocks, theyre very pretty when used right
its just that beams are better used as blocks and not beams
large bamboo and ash wood β€οΈ
not necessarily
but most of the time yes
i would say ash wood looks better as like horizontal beams
but id be lying
in some cases
because the hard lines on boreal make it look more like a beam to me
yeah...
living wood looks so similar to dirt
but for horizontal beams/flooring its amazing
i wanted to use it as flooring but i couldnt tell apart dirt and the living wood
are you sure that's living wood then
yes
no i get it
i don't see it
can you tell me where the living wood is and where the dirt is?
the image is sending
why is my internet so shit
700 kb
yeah
there's 2 blocks of living wood next to the regular wood
that's next to dirt
tbh i wouldnt really notice the difference if i wanst looking for the wood
we need a tick freeze for terraria
i need to take pictures of magical ice block without it breaking
should the design inside the house go? looks like im kinda trying too hard
chat im cooked, i was cleaning out discords i was apart of to minimize pings and accidently left this one
now i gotta get terrarian back
whenever it happens i do got some builds to post
can you post imgur links without the perms?
yeah
fixed up the no paint picture (added in echo and magical ice
now theres 30 more painted ones i need to change
welp thats pretty much the finished product
im just gonna clean up a bit with the torches and add trees on the top
that looks really good icl
you should try the rubblemaker for some more foliage if you have the goblin tinkerer
Events and bosses give some things worth some coin
eye is a really nice source of cash early on if you get spare summons
you can sell the demonite/crimtane for nice cash
and on expert the shield is worth a nice amount
im gonna kill queen bee a few times for bees knees so she should be a nice money source for a bit
okay so i replaced all the dynasty wood in my build with ash wood and oh my god it looks so much better
could someone proof read this chart for every block if they have the time

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OsxalMqUvKdchuDO8-v4qWtsm_Lf-DRguSHRzkajENw/edit?usp=sharing
friendship ended with dryad flower seeds in planter boxes
rubblemaker plants are my new best friends
they seem a lot easier to make than like strange plants
but also strange plants still have their use
bc they have the hitbox of 1 block (iirc) but it has the sprite of like a 2x3 or 3x3 plant
i need to retake EVERY SINGLE painted photo again because of a few mistakes, might kms π
thats 30 different photos bc poo was in the wrong spot
strange plants are sometimes too big sprite-wise
rubblemaker plants can fit in 2x2 or 2x3
instead of the strange plant's 3x3 fat ahh sprite being able to sit in a singular planter box
can you even paint magical ice blocks?
can you paint labubu blocks?
nvm, i had something selected in tedit
i was wondering why the blocks werent placing
the ice blocks dont stay on tedit when saving
i take it that they break upon the world reloading
https://imgur.com/a/8ADC94N what should i add or change?
wasnt that bad but still annoying i had to redo it
now i need to edit in all the echo blocks
a somewhat easy thing to do would be to just stone mix to give it more of a varied texture
heres an example of it, you just use different kinds of similar blocks to and it helps the overall feel of the build
mostly by breaking up the repeated textures
it also depends on what you want the build to feel/look like to know what to add
im going for more of a abandon look
ill try that thank youu
Something like this?
AUGH i NEED to build to improve but i cant think of ideas so i cant build anything thus cant improve
you make me so jealous
how tf you all build like that
practice
just lots of time building
my max is like boxes in a row
I feel that, inspiration be tough sometimes
Lots of practice and experimenting
Make something very simple, a house. Sounds easy but a good looking house is not so easy
do you know a good building blocks for a star castle or smth like that?
similar block like there are on clouds
my issue is that ive built too many houses
This was the result when I decided to make a house for once, and experimented with the roof which turned out great ngl
Greenhouse, those are relatively easy to decorate
like the last build i completed was this one
how do u stack the strange plants
I like.
not near it in the pic so the photo didnt have the shimmer effect
Echo blocks or any other block that blends
their hitbox is smaller than their sprite
i think i will be in that level in a cuple of years
oh they can be placed on any tile??
Pretty neat, though feels like there are too many spikes and the spikes are too big and the same shape
dude i was placing grass and echo painting it π
but what is the name and how to obatain this shiny block
couple fog machines here?
aetherium block?
aetherium brick and block
let shimmer come into contact with water
i could try that
or throw dirt into shimmer
thanks
already told you but i used the bottom right section of this to build the house in my shimmer build
even better
Yβall like my spawn point? Anyone got ideas of what else I can do with it?
I'm maybe not experienced in building but it looks pretty good
I mean the eye of cathhulu in map looks awesome
Hold on
Mushroom don't really fit
Yeah mushroom isnβt fully centered which I canβt do much about
Larger map photo
That's some crazy pixel art. Loving it, especially majora's mask and Sora
I also wanted to build a castle but it was crazy amouyof work
Samus and Sora were definitely the most complex
Oh shoot I didn't see Metroid. The more I look the better it is
Real
How long does it took
Uhhh which one
How long do you have your world
I can tell you from experience it takes how long time. I mean I've only done a few pixel art things and only one huge one and I'm still not done with it lol
World is from 2013 on PS3
I can guess it's like 300 hours of work
I mean for just building
Uhh not sure tbh
Bro is older than my cp
I have hell builds too and more than what you see in the picture
U builit in ps3?
This is the same world?
HOW
Ahhh! I'm blinded by all the greatness!
It looks like years of work
β€οΈ
You should a honored one or smth
@spare gulch asks "What is the best kind of wall for a bunker for the arm dealer "
Hello everyone
Hi

i need some bunker image to be inspired i want to for the arm dealer
If it was build on a controller?
1 sec
Some were
I mean I use a controller on PC so yeah
beachside campsite
https://imgur.com/a/MPL8kXM
Had you think that you should put it on internet to watch the beauty of this world?
why tf do i not have a pic of this build
I mean I really want to be on this world
how does one acquire this skill 
Not yet my world isnβt finished
okay
real
I am a starter so that's looks impossible to me lol
Boreal gray?
It's like "creation of Adam" art type shit
I'm not Worthy enough
Nice bro what is the materials name ?
stone slab wall
I want to open my world up here and let people from this Discord server join in to tour
Background walls, also just known as walls, are tiles that create backgrounds on top of biome backgrounds. Walls are hidden behind everything else, such as blocks. Some types of walls are naturally generated at world creation, being abundant in certain biomes like the Underground Jungle. They are one...
this page could help
its missing the new 1.4.5 walls rn
My world also functions as an all items world going up to 1.1 which is pretty outdated though
That's moody, very nice
1.1?!?
World predates 1.2
