New castle wall - Input needed!

A bit more block variation could help

 

Meaning, use different types of blocks.

 

Yeah, like said above, more block variation.

Chuck a slab here and cobble fence there, etc.

 

I don't think you need anymore block variation. Well, maybe you could add iron blocks to your walls.

 

Make it much taller and use more slabs and stairs etc to add more depth and detail. It currently looks too fat and short. Defo make it taller.

 

Don't use all those trapdoors. When it comes to using trapdoors, only have one every so often, like something to go in the centre. Never use it in a repetitive pattern.

Also, don't put on blocks because you feel you have to - placing down a couple of tripwire hooks does not equal 'detail'. You don't want to overload it. On the cobblestone areas, try adding some slabs or stairs just so the wall doesn't look completely blank. You could try placing a slab that leaves a gap and put another block behind it so the build appears to have layers underneath- this is what we mean by 'depth'.

 

Why didn't I get the alert? Strange...

Anyways, I recommend, if you insist on the repetition, to space it out by a couple blocks; however, repetition looks lazy, so I suggest mixing it up a bit. Maybe add an extra layer of depth by implementing support arches.

 

As stated above, you should add more variation i.e a brighter coloured block such as quartz.

 

Make sure to make it really big, as it will look really cool.

 

You have to remember that you need to pick blocks that work together. Throwing quartz onto that wall wouldn't look right.

 

it was an example -__-
