I’m a photographer, and I love to take pictures of buildings and houses. Another way to improve the look of the image is by taking it from an angle, so the picture would have more depth in it. Remember - you are in a 3D space (if we ignore time for a moment, no pun intended), but the camera only sees a 2D image. That’s because it has only one lens, and you have two eyes. Try to recreate that depth with lighting (shadows are your friend), angles (sometimes just moving a little bit to the side could help), and composition (I recommend learning about the rule of thirds, it’s a fairly simple concept and could help your photos improve a lot).

Okay but like, this *genuinely* did make me feel better about my building skills. There's been so many times where I've done replication as a method for learning building styles and techniques, and there's been *so many times* where I've replicated something block-for-block, and something about it just looked *wrong* , and it genuinely got to a point where I felt like my self-esteem had hit such a critically low point that I genuinely couldn't perceive anything I built as on par with my source material or inspiration (like, I've never considered myself a bad builder, but I never considered myself a particular amazing builder either). Seeing this video has genuinely made me see, metaphorically and literally, why nothing I built ever seems as good as the sort of things I can find on google or in a youtube thumbnail. A sincere thank you, SmallishBeans. I think this might be the first time a video has actually made me feel better about myself.

Really REALLY pro tips i learned from Donfuer 1 - volume: what most builds miss is depth in texture, usually being flat. Overhang your roofs, add slabs into the walls under support beams, make struts sticking out from beams that hold lamps, add shrubbery, replace cobble with mossy cobble, etc. Decorate and change to add detail while maintain a mostly cohesive idea. 2 - shaders: always judge your final builds with shaders or build with shaders enabled to make sure your build looks great in proper lighting. 3 - copy others: nobodys going to hate on you for copying a design or building something mimicking a design, and the experience will NEVER be detrimental. Always learn, minecraft gives you that opportunity.
