This Minecraft build is surely a blast from the past, just not in the way most castles or villages are.

The green coloration works perfectly with the slate-esque roof and the marble trim.

Even better, players won't have to worry about keeping the plant life watered, thanks to Minecraft's gameplay mechanics.

Aquariums are wonderfully relaxing in Minecraft, so why not incorporate one into a home design?

This build by SheepGG utilizes quartz for a modern look but sports a large water tank on the exterior. Inside, players can find various forms of aquatic life, including seagrass, kelp, and of course, more than a few varieties of fish. The tank itself may be too small for the likes of axolotls or turtles, but there's no rule stating that players can't make their aquatic tank much larger as a result.


7) Modern Underwater House
