Building depth is an essential technique to make the player's base pop.

As seen in the demonstration above, adding multiple layers to the Wool wall creates an amazing effect that stands out to the eye.

If players have flat walls on the outside of their base, they are encouraged to add some depth to it.

#4 - Block Variance

Block variance is extremely important if the player does not want their build to look boring and repetitive. The base shown in the image above would look significantly worse if they just used Bricks for the entire base.

All players are recommended to experiment with different block combinations to see which blocks complement each other.

Plants are a fantastic and cheap way to add some life to the base, literally. Players can simply add leaf blocks, cactus, trees, vines, or any plant to make their base look stylish as well as eco-friendly.

Plants are very easy to decorate with, and do not take much artistic skill to get to look nice in a base.

Players who are having trouble getting the plants to flow well with their base are highly recommended to watch the video above, which details how to add greenery to a base effectively.

It is just as important to know how to decorate the interior of a base as it is the exterior. A base with an amazing exterior but a boring interior will be highly disappointing for anyone entering.

As seen in the picture above, Minecraft players have many blocks at their disposal to decorate their interior, such as trapdoors, barrels, signs, buttons, and lanterns.

Players can get extremely creative with these smaller blocks, much like the creator of the image above has.

#1 - Theme

For a Minecraft player's build to look cohesive, there must be a theme.

A theme can be decided based on many factors, such as what blocks the build will consist of or what biome the build is located in.

In the image above, the builder decided to create an End-themed build. Thus, they used a lot of purple blocks, chorus fruit, and End stone to complete the theme. Most players would agree that the creator of the base above succeeded in creating an End-themed build.
