How To Build A Cave (Part 2)______________________________________________________________________ Alright guys and girls, I decided to make a Tutorial "How To Build A Cave" In this tutorial I'll explain you - step-by-step - How I'm building caves. Well, I haven't much experience at building but I saw many buildings of other players and learned how to use which block in which situation. _______________________________________________________________________ > > > First Step: - Digging A Cave < < < _______________________________________________________________________ At the begin of our build we have to dig a cave. Just trough breaking the dirt blocks under your plot. You should add some structures like: forks into the cave, canyons, smaller rooms, bigger rooms, dead ends and so on... Make sure that you have enough space into the direction you are digging to prevent that the room you would build doesn't become smaller then you like. If you set light sorces (Torches, Glowstone, Redstone Torches, Jack O' Lantern and Lava) you will be more able to see what you are doing: ______________________________________________________________________ > > > Second Step: - Set A Main Cave Block < < < ______________________________________________________________________ If you've digged out enough dirt it should looks like a cave or a part of it. I'm always build one room of a cave at once, because it could become boring to doing the same step for a longer time: Now, there we have the rough strucutre of out cave, we will chose a main block they will replace all Dirt Blocks. Just break and replace them. If you don't like any shape of your cave you can correct it trough breaking more blocks/place more blocks. ______________________________________________________________________ > > > Third Step: - Add Similar Blocks To The Cave < < < ______________________________________________________________________ Now it looks more like a cave than before: But only one Block? Isn't that a little bit boring? Of course, so we will add 3, 4 ,5 other blocks they have similar colors to the basic block they decorate our cave now. Here I made an example which blocks will fit to each other, but It's better to experiment yourself with different and similar blocks to find out the best combination for your cave: In my case I choosed Stone Blocks as 2nd block and placed them with a little distance between each other everywhere in my cave: Clay was the 3rd block I've choose because it fits into the color schema: As last (but not least ;) ) I used Bedrock to add more contrast to my cave. Well It isn't used so common for building but in my case it looks nice, so I think: ______________________________________________________________________ How To Build A Cave (Part 2)
