steep citrus
hi! i've been working on my first MC mod, to add some lil decorative goodies to the game. I'm starting with a mushroom block, and i decided to let it stack up like dripleaf. I'm not entirely happy with my current designs for the stem as it gets taller, and i'm not entirely sure how i want to approach it so I'm looking for feedback on what i could improve.
The first pic is 3 blocks tall with a thicker base. The second one is 2 blocks tall with a slim base, and the third is the original 1-block version.
this isn't based on any particular species, but here are a few refs that i'm taking some visual inspiration from.
the way that the stalks spread out from a clustered base and curve around is definitely a big part of their visual appeal, and unfortunately not quite possible to replicate with minecraft's limitations. i'm also curious if the stalk looks too flimsy/thin? because that may be a good reason to have it flare out a bit at the base.
if i do have it flare at the base, I don't really feel like this transition to being one pixel thinner looks all that pleasant from above. maybe it needs some sort of transition, like an outer layer of fuzz (ie in the second ref) to ease that transition a bit?
i dunno, feel free to share your thoughts :>
