[Klazam]

SCREENSHOTS (Still in planning stages)

Spoiler:

The underwater approach to my home:


Entry room:



Future bedroom/trophy room (VERY MUCH A WIP) (Yes, cobble wall and stairs are intentional)


I plan to expand this to be a storage room, but for now, its just a antechamber to downstairs


My underground tree and plant farm!


Main hall: (Obby in the floor is because i don't even have a diamond pick yet)


This will be my workshop.


This is the passage to my (future)mines.

Izak, I have some quartz, help yourself.

no clue about swamp tho. try UT's swamp?

[Maestro]

izak, take apart my house with me and you can have all of it for the Enderfarm.
I've been preparing to renovate anyway - did you like what else I did to The End or are you going to make it all different?

[chkflip]

You guys killed the dragon?

[izakthegoomba]

I like the general layout, but if I can get enough quartz to build with I'll probably replace the blocks to make it all fit the same style.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

Maestro's Village

[chkflip]

Looks like a pre-generated village, tbh.

[Maestro]

It IS a pre-generated Village, but 1) I've been undertaking huge renovations including the semi-complete gravel path extending around the water-logged side of the Village, and 2) that's not the point, the point is the screenie looks fucking amazing.

[chkflip]

Big ups, it's purty. Should take another when it's day and all the derps are out and about.

Vanilla or modded?

[Maestro]

Modded.

[Rob14]

Maestro, you should put up iron golems in that village ASAP so as not to have dead villagers. js

[Klazam]

If you want a wall there, I'll help with that later

feel free to steal all my cobble if so desired

[EspeciallyTheLies]

[EspeciallyTheLies]

Birthday party!
With awesome cake hat LOL

[Maestro]

Later that night on the Vanilla server...Maestro is seeing everything you see but 1,000,000,000x more beautiful...

Spoiler:

Yes, that is a lens flare IN-GAME.
Yes, there're chunk lines in the beautiful water. *grumble* (I'm still looking into which shaderpack I like the most. Will post other screenshots as I go.)

[Maestro]

That's not actually going to happen though. I'm going to bed...zZzZz

[izakthegoomba]

I tried shaders once. My framerate actually stopped being a thing that exists.

[izakthegoomba]

M, the thing you want taken apart is the redstone/quartz temple, right?

[Klazam]

ETL is AWESOME.

my new wallpaper that she made:

Spoiler:

THANKS SO MUCH!

[EspeciallyTheLies]

<3 I'm really glad you like it, Klaz! I was hoping it didn't come out too "dungeon-y" for you, but I thought the look fit with the abyssal stone.

M what are shaders? That looks so amazing! I want to try something with that. It really looks incredible.

[Maestro]

M, the thing you want taken apart is the redstone/quartz temple, right?

Yeah, but please don't start till I come back on sometime soon.

@ETL: As far as I understood it, shaders are basically files Minecraft uses to render the various effects programmed into the game - anything rendered that isn't blocks is, from my understanding, involved with shaders. The Sun, the Moon, the Stars, the Sky, Liquids, shadows (if there are any), most (if not all) animations, etc. Recently, I found a VERY easy tutorial that explains the current installation instructions for a Mod that allows you to change what "shader packs" you use in Minecraft.

Check the description first to skip half of the video and head straight to the tutorial - there're also download links down there if you don't wanna hear his instructions.



The shader pack Tierce and Oso immediately thought of when I posted that screenie is "Sonic Ether's Unbelievable Shaders" which has been around since before MC Release v1.3. SEUS is still the most commonly used, I guess, but in the download link(s) in the description of the video above, he supplies you with a collection of about 50 (???) different shader packs all made by different people and with varying changes from MC's default shaders. You can click and switch through them all in-game through a new mini-menu called "Shaders", right under video settings.

I'll double check some other time to share with you the name of the one above, which I felt was the best for me. Obviously I'm using Coterie Craft with it; I'd recommend using a non-Default texture pack with these, I'm not sure why but it seems to improve the performance slightly. That being said, if you don't run with upwards of 150-200 FPS on Vanilla Vanilla, you probably shouldn't try these. You'll just end up with one beautiful, unplayable game.
