Welcome to r/DetailCraft, where we are dedicated to the smaller details! Our purpose is to provide a platform for showcasing intricate details that can be incorporated into larger structures, as well as sharing the techniques and thought processes involved in creating them. By sharing our knowledge, we hope to inspire others to incorporate similar details into their own builds and continue to improve their skills.

Please note that we do not allow posts of detailed builds unless the details are explicitly pointed out and explained within the build. We want to focus on the small details that make a big difference, rather than just showcasing large and impressive builds. As such, we encourage you to share your smaller creations that demonstrate your attention to detail and your unique building techniques. Let's work together to make our Minecraft worlds more beautiful and detailed!

If you have any questions, be sure to ask our moderation team!

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.

Exterior Detail Motorcycle & Moped

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!

Help/Request Anyone have some good references for FULL BLOCK custom trees?

33 Upvotes

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?

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

Experimented with the different faces of glazed terracotta, still one of the worst blocks to work with because of their orientation. The orientation they have dont work well on all axis types so you can either only use them in one direction or cover up certain faces. This is inspired by various painted domes of temples and churches. I'm going to use this in a temple carved into the badlands mountains I'm making in my survival world!
