Welcome to the video guys. Today I'm going to be showing you my drylands desert village on the sea. First I'd like to thank everybody who's been showing me support. I wouldn't even be doing YouTube right now if it wasn't for the love that I got on my first video. So that being said, let's jump right into it. My village is surrounded by water. Every single quarter is touching land. I didn't plan that out. That's just how it worked out because I knew for as soon as I saw this waterfall and the open space in the middle, I knew that I was going to use this for my village location. The first single notice is the swimming pool in the middle. Obviously I actually built this foundation from the bottom of the ground, the bottom of the water from the seabed. I built it off of that because the four last patch you would spawn when you logged in underneath your floor. So I figured building the foundation from the from the actual ground up in the water would prevent that. But I found that logging in would just spawn me inside of a foundation piece, which was like this just bad, you know. Now it's fixed. Everything's fine. I have these statues all facing inward and they alternate from the statue with the sword, the statue with the axe. They just go back and forth all the way around and they're all facing the water. Look, there's fish sticks and I'll get just chilling. I know there are a lot of other little improvements that I can make on this. But the way I see it is I've basically filled up all the empty space. And you know that was my goal. I didn't want to like awkward open empty spaces. But yeah, so I'm going to go ahead and wait till it's nighttime so I can show you what it looks like at night. So here is what it looks like at night. If you see the tricks I use with the lighting, then you'll know this is pretty crazy. I kind of stumbled upon this trick. I'm probably going to make tips and tricks video for building and lighting. But I basically I put these candles throughout these breezeways like this on both sides and it ended up lighting up through the corners and through the holes in the floor. So now it's like a really cool lighting effect that I have here. But I said, huh, I should use that on my swimming pool. And as you can see, I did, I actually broke the foundation blocks behind this. I put thin ones here and I put a bunch of candles layered all the way around the edges of this entire swimming pool. I also threw these tiles in the bottom and it was really sketchy. Like if I would have messed up on one tile and misplaced it, there's no way to destroy it. Like it's too deep in the water to destroy. Like I would have just been screwed and I would have had to lift the whole floor up and build above it. Anyways, I'm glad that worked out fine. I put these plants. I wanted some greenery, 100%. I think every village should have plants. It just makes it live better. Adds more color. So I did all slap berries because this is like my fishing village. And as you know, you need a lot of slap juice in order to make all the epic bait buckets you need for fishing and catching all those legendary fish. So I wouldn't have had and planted over a hundred of these. There's probably like 120 of them somewhere around that. If you notice, the floor looks really cool, right? Now this is the shock floor. But what I did is I rotated every single floor tile by one, every other one. So like this one goes straight. This is sideways. This is straight. This sideways. And I think it's really really cool. I like it. I could have just threw them all in there, but it wouldn't look as textured and unique, I guess. When I was streaming somebody in my chat, one of my viewers said that I had too many lights on here. So I destroyed these two. And I destroyed that one. And I looked at it. And I think it just looks better with more lights. I think I put it completely filled in. Let me know what you guys think in the comments about that though. Also, I need your guys' help. Okay. I really need to, like, hear as an opinion on whether I should have, obviously I shouldn't have we here, but whether I should have this little planner here, like should I have a crop growing between these benches like that? Or should I leave it like this open? And if so, which crop should I put there? I'd really like to hear feedback on that. Let me go to my map real quick. I moved my main hub, my press lens knowledge, from here to over here. And I'm building my shore village here. And the really cool thing about it is I don't need these tall ladders and I don't need jump pods. I can just literally put three wavebrake charms on and swim. I swim to here. There's a sand bar. I can, well, I'm walking on the sand bar. I get all of my stamina back and I make it into two swims. So everything's working out perfect for me on this server, which is my only server. Yeah, I was also thinking about putting lights underneath the floor here and lighting up these statues. Wait, I actually didn't own one of them. Which one was it? There's so much light now. It's like part and tell, right? Oh, it looks like it might be this one over here. Yeah, there's more light here. Yeah, I put it on this side. It must have been because the weeds lit up over on this side. Like I said, I'm really open to suggestions and hopefully I give you guys some ideas of what you want to do with your villages. I know I didn't want to use the same building materials. I want to use the only the desert building materials, which I did. These railings, everything is actually the desert other than the flooring. And I guess this, the slot berries are grown on the beach, which technically the beach is right over there. I think that concludes this video. You guys have any questions on how I did anything or like I said, if you have any suggestions for me, let me know in the comments. I respond like immediately. I'm pretty much on all the time. As you can see, this is survival and I did do this solo. So it did take me quite a bit of farming and whatnot to get this thing the way it is right now. Other than that, I appreciate you stopping by and I'll see you in the next one.
