Never built anything to this size or scale before. Seeking some help. This is what I have and this is an idea of what I was the fina result to me. I’m having trouble with the bottom half and shaping it. The base is 19x19 and is 34 blocks tall. Can anyone help with the shaping of what’s circled.
The first 2 pictures are what my world currently looks like, and the 3rd and 4th are the direction I want to take it. I’ve already laid out the village and picked the location for a hidden underground library/sanctuary beneath the jungle, but I’ve never attempted a project at this scale before. My goal is for the jungle to feel partially explored near the outskirts with paths, campsites, ruins/statues, etc., and then gradually become denser and more overgrown the deeper you go, especially around the hidden library area. I’m mainly struggling with where to actually begin and how to make the transition feel natural instead of random. Any advice from more experienced large-scale builders on planning, terraforming, pathing, or custom jungle design would be appreciated.
