Grounding Exterior Walls and Roofs
Softbound casts smooth dark tones along block edges and beneath overhangs, which makes player-built structures look anchored to the terrain instead of floating on grass.
1. Add a one-block foundation trim, stairs, or stone walls around the base of a house; Softbound's corner shading naturally darkens the seam where your build meets the ground.
2. Extend roof eaves by a single block over exterior walls to cast a gentle shadow band down the facade during sunny weather.
3. Plant trees or build pergolas next to paths so their canopies drop soft, natural shade onto walkways without hiding your block palette.
Adding Depth to Interior Rooms
Flat indoor walls often blend together in vanilla lighting. With Softbound active, every recessed edge collects subtle ambient darkness.
- Frame flat walls with pillars, upside-down stairs, or trapdoors to create corners that catch the pack's ambient shading.
- Recessed windows and inset bookshelves gain extra visual depth automatically, even in brightly lit survival bases.
- Space your lanterns or torches evenly; Softbound's smooth lighting balance keeps bright blocks near light sources from washing out surrounding wood and stone textures.
