I haven’t wandered over to look at your “lame rip-off” version for a bit (you know part of why), but if you want building tips, I’ve got lots. My first minecraft house was a square smooth stone box as well. :3 It takes a bit to get used to what you want to add to a house, so you can plan out what you need, and then wrangle the design around it. Like this pyramid came from deciding to put my farmland on the roof. And I’d done a tiered garden in one of my previous worlds that came out rather nice (it’s the bottom picture in my post on Minecraft earlier), so I combined “tiered” and “roof” and came up with “pyramid”, and from there, it was a fairly simple bit of design work. The only reason older sisters can do such things better is that we’ve been at it longer. :3

I recognize that Minecraft pyramid. My lame rip-off version languishes unfinished off screen. Older sisters do get the prerogative of being better at a lot of things than younger sisters.

It was midday when I drew this, and some light was seeping past the curtains, so it was merely, what, dark gray?

And yeah, I get my techie tendencies from you. I’ve just taken more time to learn the skills, and I step up when Mom makes her computer blorp.

You didn’t add that the level of illumination in your room leaves everything looking black.

I am not that far behind you as a techie due to my mysterious power to read the manual. I just don’t get any hands-on experience when I can use my daughter as skilled labor.
