Minecraft fortified island

[matthewbim11]

Hello Blockheads. I've recently created a fortified island within Minecraft. I've created everything I can think of that is useful and would like your input as to what I could add to make the quality of the map better. I plan to make this island self sustaining with wood, food and water.


Red- House(unfinished)
Lime Green- Center Fountain
Cyan-Trees
White- Nether Portal
Orange-Surrounding wall 4 high and two wide
Blue-Boat Dock
Yellow-Wheat Farm
The island is around a thousand blocks away from mainland.


Thanks, constructive criticism welcome.

Looks like you took your first Minecraft house and slapped it on an island.

I was really focused on creating everything else, so I just Worldedited some walls and a roof in the place for the house. Notice the "unfinished" part.

Those little black things in between the fence and the house are chests. My computer still experiences that bug :C.

you don't need to sustain water because it's not a necessity. Also, this was made in creative, not survival.

This was made 90% survival. I plan to tear down the house and rebuild making it 100% legit. I was flying to take the picture.

Oh, in that case this is horrid. It has no in-depth features, or any detail to make it at least look nice.

[matthewbim11]

That's why I decided to ask you guys on what to change or add. How can one add detail to something like this?

what about a mine?

[matthewbim11]

what about a mine?

That was my next thought. I'm going to add a mine-shaft down to bedrock and do strip mining. (Position will be at the other end of the gravel road.

Inside the house


The Boat Dock



Ps; It took forever and 7 iron shovels to level out this land ;-;

More edit:
There's a stupid cavern where I was planing to put my mine what do?

[matthewbim11]

Mineshaft complete.

Did you know you could break water sources(and small lava sources) using torches?

house is terrible, just a box with wood. you need to actually design the house with different materials for it to be good. otherwise this is just a big topic of pictures of a mine that happens in every single minecraft game.

belongs in the minecraft topic too

I didn't see a minecraftegatopic. And again, the house is just there for now. I will be rebuilding it.

It's not made out of dirt. Must be second.
