Looking for addon thumbnail tips

I've been working on creating my first proper thumbnail for my addon and I can't tell if something's missing, so am here to ask for tips/feedback

I could tidy up the blocks' edges a bit and perhaps add some outlines to the blocks, but I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions or tips?

Many thanks in advance (:

My Canvas addon has been approved on Curseforge

Canvas adds a layer based painting system (not too dissimilar from creating banners), allowing you to create canvas paintings and paintable wall blocks, massively expending decorative potential for your builds.

This is the first release of canvas has a fair emoutn of deisngs to play with, which can be changed using creatable paint and painting tools, including deconstructed glazed terracotta patterns (so far only the patterns from white, light grey, grey and black glazed teracotta). I have many more patterns lined up for future updates (:

To download, head to Curseforge at:

I'd love to see what people make with this, and would also be keen to hear suggestions on other patterns I could potentially add

I've almost added more art to Bedrock with this addon (WIP)

It's been a moment since I last sent an update, but I'm getting pretty close to finishing the first release of my Canvas addon for Bedrock (:

-

It's effectively a way to paint on canvases and walls to bring that extra layer of design and colour to your builds

-

Just a few more things to tweak, add, and clean up to give the best UX I can come up with for this one for now. Feedback would be very welcome when I'm done (or now)

My first in-game instructional guidebook

Whilst making a few tweaks to clean up my add-on I decided to put the time in to make an instructional guidebook to learn how to use the add-on in-game. It took a while, but I'm quite happy with the result, and now I have something to build off of for future development (:

Does anyone else here have any experience with making in-game guidebooks for their add-ons? How did it go?

Instruction book tips?

I've started making an instruction book for my first addon and was wondering if anyone had any tips with lining up the book with the player position, etc., or if anyone had any interesting quirks they've come up with they'd be willing to share. The book I had in mind are one's like the Secret Doors Addon, or Tinkers' Construct (:

Lava Lamps - My second Bedrock addon

I'm pretty happy with how my Lava Lamps turned out after all of the tweaks and details.

It's just been approved on CurseForge, so is available now to anyone who wants to try it (:

A cave wall aquarium I built

I love the lighting effects you can get with Vibrant Visuals and some coloured lighting. It adds a whole new level of atmospheric to builds (:

My first Bedrock Add-on - Dyeable and powerable Sea Lanterns

After playing Minecraft for around 18 years I've finally made my first add-on.

Chromatic Sea Lanterns adds 16 dyeable Sea Lanterns and 17 Redstone-powered lamp variants (including the vanilla Sea Lantern), each casting their own coloured light with Vibrant Visuals enabled.

Free to download on CurseForge: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft-bedrock/addons/chromatic-sea-lanterns

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
