I’m kinda new to Boundless, used to play a lot of Minecraft before this. I really like the chiselling and the “boundless” materials in this game. A very disappointing amount of white blocks however .
At this point I’m hooked, and I want to build something epic. I have built this in Minecraft:
Does anyone else prefer this high-fantasy gothic style architecture? Also has anyone built something of this scale and detail in Boundless? Because I’d love to see it! Please share any screen-shots, suggestions, or advice down below. I’m new, and I’m starting to love this game.
I absolutely love the style, but I don’t have the talent to be RPing Ludwig II on Alder any time soon… I might pull off a few medieval-style shacks and barns perhaps though? And I love seeing what others build like this.
Welcome to the game!
I also love high fantasy style, but I haven’t build something to that scale so far. Just single buildings:
For “white” colors, I can recommend Ashen Blue Sedimentary from Minorengle
That’s the “white” rock color we had in the beta universe. It works quite well, I use it for signs and Shop Stands.
Cool Violet from Alder and Cool Slate from Gellis or Niia Zed Ka are brighter but the color tint shows a bit more.
Cold berry is a good option for a “white” block also. But i’m also waiting for true white blocks myself. When an exoplanet comes out with pure white i’m definitely stocking up a few shop stands worth
When some folks see a few of the fairly-tale style castles like Neuschwanstein in Bavaria, they might think them medieval because of the style, but they’re actually the whimsical constructs of a 19th century king, Ludwig II. His family, the Wittelsbachs, were a pretty interesting lot. Anyways, he seems to have built these extravagant structures solely to suit his own fancy, though of course now it is a big tourist draw. Would love to visit myself. Which gives me comfort when I see the huge, impractical mansions people build way up on the mountains where I live and maybe live in a few weeks a year… perhaps those will be a big tourist attraction a few hundred years from now!
If I had the time and talent, I probably would make a Ludwig II alt and grab viceroy of some world doing exactly this, reproducing his castles.
