LAST WEEK'S THEME: SPORTS STADIUM

Gold

KingKowen

Welp, this one is a winner.

Love everything about this build really. A really cool look to the exterior that doesn't have a plain slanted roof, a well made field and some nice stands is basically all we asked for and that we got.

An interesting thing I found is the terrain and parking lot around the building. Normally, I don't like that builds are built in superflat cause the ugly flat terrain around it throws me off but this build actually made a good landscape around the build! It even took me a minute to see that it was in a superflat! Well done!

We liked how even though it was a mistake, the build was built in a snow biome because we found the colours used in the build matched the terrain well. Also, we liked the scoreboard and net. However, it still needed a bit more. The stands were really plain and there wasn't much detail done to them. Also, the walls were really flat on the exterior and if there were some more structure to the stadium, it would have looked a bit better in my mind. However, still a good build!

Liked the design of this build and the structure to it, even though there could have been some varying up outside (though liked the use of smooth sandstone).The roof, although was just slanted, was cut off at some points and made it more interesting that way. However, I find the colour choice weren't great. Oak and sandstone are both really light blocks. We needed a darker block in the build to add some contrast. Without it, the build just seemed to light. Still good build though!

Introduction

First of all, I'd like to apologize because this summer while I've still been able to put up the challenges more or less on time, during the week I've been less active answering questions or detailing answers just because I've been busy this summer. Thankfully, this should change come September when I have more time at home.

But speaking of summer, what a beautiful one! I love being outside in parks or gardens just being around nature, so let's make one this time! This challenge should be easier to do (in both hard and easy) so make sure your build is even better than the rest–detail is everything this challenge!

So let's make some gardens!

Challenge

For both easy and hard, I highly recommend adding your own personal flair to it to try and make it different from your competitors. It's easy to make a garden–What will set yours apart is the layout and different approaches to this theme.

Easy Mode:

Make a garden with an area for each of the crops (wheat, carrots, potatoes and beets). Each crop must have its own garden and paths must connect each area. There must also be one area for flowers.

Hard Mode:

Same as easy mode but add a small cottage, a small pond for fishing, another two areas for flowers and (this one is optional) a hedge maze. I don't know why I want to see that but when I came up with this challenge, for some reason I imagined hedge mazes. So make a hedge maze or leave it out, doesn't matter to me but I will be happy if I see one that fits in with your build 🙂
