Snifferish Builds #1

Taking a dip into modded minecraft with Sniff's latest video! Specifically Chisels and Bits, which will probably show up in the future as I enjoy rats smp.

The windows and the moss and the wisteria on Sniff's cottage really show of the artistic strengths of the chisels and bits mod. Using round windows in contrast with the dramatic sharp shape of the roof helps push the cozy vibe. The lattice designs on the circle windows is so neat and keeps the pattern from becoming too repetitive. Sniff added a tiny stained glass arch above the door which adds a ton of personality to the build. Having windows cracked open and the wood chopping log also add extra life to the cottage.

Just inside the door, there's boots, a hat, and a backpack. Sniff built this cottage for themself and these extra lived in details add to the feeling that Sniff actually lives here.

Cozy is the game with this interior and I wish I could live here. Plants in every corner and a big bed with a library on one side and a sunlit art setup on the other? Dream Home.

Sniff's attention to shape and weight when it comes to sculpting cloth, like those curtains, is admirable. I love the pattern on the carpet but I'm pretty sure that's a default from one of her mods since Sniff didn't mention designing it (and she noted when she was bringing in previous models they've made like the bed). Sniff mentioned they like high ceilings, which was why they didn't do an attic. For my own person tastes, I'm more torn. Sniff ended up doing a loft which I think looks stellar, but the a-line ceiling in this section of the house, I'm less a fan of. I don't think I've ever lived somewhere with an a-line ceiling, so maybe that's why it feel off/unfinished to me?

Kitchen is cute! Love the stove, fridge and shelving! I like that the sink faucet's gold color matches the detailing on the stove/fridge. But something about the sink isn't doing it for me. I think it might be because its the least textured spot in the room? But porcelain is smooth, so a texture wouldn't make sense. I'd be curious what adding a little lip around the edge of the sink would do? It'd probably be too bulky and throw off the scale.

I just noticed that the stove wall is a different texture than the one by the sink. That's an interesting choice. In this image it didn't feel right, but I watched back her video and it looks a lot more cohesive in motion and adds some nice warmth to the room.

I couldn't get a good screenshot of the loft, but I loved the inclusion of a book press and the art desk. Adding a railing for safety, also very good.

A lovely build. The colors are warm and earthy. Chisels and Bits builders go off.

Made a post office to sell Forestry mod stamps to other server members, and I figured I'd help man the counter myself :)

oh and here's my tank for my herbivorous/prespawned dino fish :) got an alligator gar and a buuunch of nautilus! i had more but i fed them to my plesiosauri and ichthyosauri :) need another alligator gar and some coelacanths so i can breed them and use them as live food for my piscivore dinos !!!

i did the mural in the back with chisels and bits! wanted to make it sorta like a comfy spot for them w no predators n stuff! i'd chisels and bits in more stuff for the floor but it's easy for them to get stuck in and it doesn't look right even if i do the fluid bits it still separates by the whole block :'v

Thinking about @gehtsis’s children and how terrifying it would be to get their team assigned to help you escape from a mystery dungeon.

If these are what my heroes look like I'm 99% certain I'd be screaming and running the other way. Menacing cryptid-looking grim reaper and cursed psychic clay doll. I love them.

[bad-traffic-smp-ideas]

Wild card idea: all blocks and items explode into bits from the chisel and bits mod when mined/consumed. Good luck.

Joel DID mention recently how much he missed chisel and bits...

i can't get over how cute javier is when he introduces himself to ppodong. he's so serious about it that lloyd thinks he's about to question his cover story for how ppodong was summoned but no. he was just thinking really hard about how he should call him or if he had a name. and then when lloyd gives him the go ahead to call ppodong however he wants he just. calls him sir ppodong and fucking shakes hands with him. he introduces himself and shakes hands with the hamster like c'mon that's so fucking cute i cannot stop thinking about it just look at him

it's adorable.

and it's also one of the first times in the novel that you get the sense that 'oh. that's a kid.' it's subtle and lowkey but you can kinda feel that javier is actually excited about ppodong, he's curious about him and really gentle when he meets him. like. he's just a kid. a kid that probably never had a pet before and is now in close proximity with a cute and fluffy little hamster and just. wants to know his name.

it's just. it's very cute.

I know he doesn't have glasses but the lens symbolism...

after attempting to commission art of boba fett without his helmet, i am forced to consider that a good number of artists, subconsciously or not, cannot accept that temuera morrison has always been hot despite his lack of european features, and honestly this explains a lot about the fucking travesty that is every single clone's face in TCW and TBB

[aphverse-confessions]

Here's a positive confession for your return (hope your break was great btw! :D)

I don't think we really appreciate how much effort went into the builds and skins for the MCD/Mystreet characters. I mean seriously!! I love staring at the backgrounds for MCD especially. Because there's so much texture and excellent builds everywhere. All of the different villages are so atmospheric and capture their vibe beautifully imo. The character skins are also, for the most part, really good! A couple of the mys skins do fall flat for me but when they're good they're GOOD. A handful of the S2, S3, and s5 outfits are some memorable highlights in my mind.

Made a lil terrarium for some Better End silk moths.

With a small workspace to store their food and some replacement foliage.

Absolutely had to build them a home in the overworld. Just look at em, adore them to bits!
