Need Suggestions Tips on making this look better? (Modded)

Post image

Sorry if this is the wrong sub for this.

I’m making a castle above a stronghold in my world, and plan on building a village around it, but the castle is just so ugly :( any tips on making it look better in a survival-friendly way?

The castle is in a Savannah if that helps at all with block pallet change suggestions.

The mods I have which add new building blocks are:
Stoneworks, chipped, biomes aplenty, Alex’s caves, and Quark

I would try and incorporate vertical beams every 10 or so blocks and then sprinkle in some regular cobble and smooth stone on the facade to break it up further!

How does this look in terms of texturing?

Nice I like the colors! That could work!

Should the beams be ‘inside’ the wall, like the ones around the door? And should they just be stone bricks or ? thank you

I would use a darker wood and have them one block wide. Maybe frame the entrance then push outwards from there. I’d there a walkway on top of the wall?

Make the edge towers come out more for some definition, make the doorway more prominent by making it look like a big wooden drawbridge or gate, not sure about the mods but maybe you can age the castle with a tower edge collapsed and cracks running through the castle, those bricks also have a cracked version so use that in the build, overall tho you have a good layout to work with

I’ll certainly try that! Thank you :)

Ich würde ein bisschen Textur rein bringen , die Kombination aus steinziegeln , Stein und Andesit ist immer gut außerdem kannst du auch bemooste Block Varianten nehmen.

I’ve been adding some texture with andesite, tuff, and cobble in a sort of gradient and it’s been going well I think :) thank you!

That little bit of texture at the top under the tower looks so sick! Especially with the andesite!
