Using Structures as Building Inspiration

Studying Structure Design

ATi Structures uses only vanilla blocks, making them perfect references for your own builds. Each structure demonstrates different architectural styles:

• Medieval towers and fortresses show stone and deepslate construction
• Cottages display wood and thatch roofing techniques
• Ruins reveal weathered, aged building aesthetics
• Shrines showcase symmetrical, ceremonial layouts

Extracting Design Elements

• Photograph or sketch distinctive features: roof shapes, wall patterns, window placement, and decorative details
• Note block combinations: Observe how the mod mixes stone types, wood varieties, and stairs to create texture and depth
• Study terrain integration: See how structures nestle into hillsides and avoid floating blocks—apply this to your own placements
• Adapt layouts: Take a cottage's interior arrangement or a tower's spiral staircase and modify it for your own projects
• Collect materials: Loot chests provide abundant building stone, making it practical to gather resources while studying the designs
