Design and Build Decorative Bases with New Blocks

Explore Available Decorative Blocks

The modpack includes extensive new building blocks for aesthetic purposes. Visit your creative inventory or gather samples from the world to see the full palette. Look for blocks that match your desired architectural style—whether rustic, modern, or fantasy-themed.

Plan Your Base Layout

Sketch out your design before placing blocks. Consider how mechanical systems will integrate with your living spaces. Leave room for future expansion and ensure your base looks intentional rather than cluttered.

Layer Materials for Visual Depth

Combine different block types to create texture and contrast. Use stairs, slabs, and walls to break up flat surfaces. Add decorative details like hanging plants, lanterns, or custom furniture to make spaces feel lived-in.

Integrate Function with Form

Arrange your production lines and storage areas within your base design rather than hiding them away. Showcase your mechanical contraptions as part of your aesthetic—exposed gears and flowing water can look beautiful when arranged thoughtfully.
