HELLO IM BACK! Thanks to suggestions from some fine folks in the comments here, and @himochi gently walking me thru the process of installing a modloader, I have shaders again!!! Here's some shots of smaller builds I've made in the meanwhile, more shots under the cut! The buoys have a lil secret--
I'm actually really proud of them; I took inspiration from this video but ended up fiddling with my own design in order to do some SHENANIGANS:
There's a waterlogged sculk sensor with amethyst hidden inside, so when you boat past, you get a STARTLINGLY NAUTICAL "ding ding!" noise from the amethyst resonating! IM SO ABSURDLY PROUD OF THIS DISCOVERY LMAO i made everyone come over to boat past my buoys
Here's another pic of the map room where you can really get the full Lobby vibes:
I built this under the spawn house, which I'd been using as a launch point for some exploring, and needed a place to put my maps that wasn't just Taping Them To A Dirt Wall lmao. It might get expanded (I had vague thoughts about a hallway leading to a REALLY BIG MAP display), but there's already a Big Map Room over in town that we're all collaborating on that includes linked copies of the maps I'd started, so this is just an lil bonus display now. I MIGHT STILL EXPAND IT LATER JUST FOR FUN....
The lava basement is under my house! It was built for ore storage and smelting and also I wanted a place to collect lava for smelting fuel. The autosmelter is small but IM SO PLEASED to have managed to build one! Here's what it looks like in complementary shaders, where you can see a little more of what's going on:
The Lava Control Panel over there in the corner is mostly aesthetic but I DID learn enough redstone to make it so that if you hit the buttons, a light behind those level indicator banners lights up! (mostly because Boo keeps pushing all my aesthetic buttons when he visits so I thought it would be funny if these ones did something)
Anyway, of course the rethinking voxels shader can't be normal about a room lit by lava so GOTTA INCLUDE SOME COOL DARK SHOTS:
i still can't play the game with shaders on but they run a LOT nicer on the setup mochi helped me with; very excited for more pretty shots.... i gotta get some more pics of lake progress soon!!
