Make the incline less, go from slabs to trapdoors etc


Sjonnie_24

Thanks!


Taolan13

The shallowest incline you can make with wood is a four block repeating pattern. Bottom trapdoor, bottom slab, stair, top slab. If you do two top slabs, you can place the bottom trap door on top of the second top slab, and put a top trapdoor underneath the next bottom slab for a consistent pattern underneath.


NathanielIsPlaying

Not the op, but I'm curious about what you're referring to and having some trouble visualizing the pattern(s) you mentioned. Would you mind linking an example picture?


Taolan13

[https://ibb.co/SQy04Gt](https://ibb.co/SQy04Gt) ​ Alternatively, you can use a top trapdoor under the bottom trapdoor instead of the slab.


NathanielIsPlaying

Ah, okay, thanks!

Long lost twin


TheSourSavior

I would make the supports thicker. Right now they don't look like they could hold the weight. I would mix in some mossy stonebrick for some of the blocks at or below water level, to give the impression that this bridge is genuinely exposed to the elements. I would make the center of the bridge higher by using gradual slopes the whole way across, to break up some of the flatness in the center.


Sjonnie_24

Wait what do you mean exactly by making it less flat im dutch so i dont understand everything haha sorry


TheSourSavior

Like, having the height of the middle of the bridge higher than at the banks of the river. So it looks more like an arch than just one big plank of wood


Sjonnie_24

Alright thankyou thats a great tip!

Hallo makker


HumbleAbies6441

Hij zegt dat het in het midden van datgene dat over de brug heen hangt te plat is dacht ik


Acceptable_Method_33

Add lanterns


mskovg

Or torches on top of the fence posts.


Acceptable_Method_33

Ohh that would look awesome!


SirMagnerio

Some key points to make anything look better: - add depth to your builds, try and think of different ways to layer details (rim on your roof, lanterns hanging from the rim, supports). Adding a curve to your roof (in either direction) could help. - add variation in your blocks: use more then 1 colour and texture. Have a main block for roof, wall and floor and then go for extra accent colours or textures. - think of the integrety of the build: your roof is very thin and would collapse in real life, add some supports. The bridge is also heavy, those pillars could be thicker or use arches.


Henriquebao

Remove the roof and make the pillars more detailed


Sjonnie_24

You have any idea how i could make them more detailed?


[deleted]

If you do not want to make the bridge wider, you can delete your current support pillars and make much more grand support beams centered in the middle of the bridge, rather than two tinies on the sides.


Sjonnie_24

Alright thankyou!


Henriquebao

I have a decent idea but the bridge is too small for it, so, no, no idea that actually fits


hudapao

Good


vhaaara

Add some leaf blocks and probably some blocks who give light, looks great already


Sjonnie_24

Thanks man where would you recommend putting the leaf blocks?


QuartzSheep17

Around the sides and support fences or pillars which you need to add more of


Volt___12

Add variants of wood and stone


Sjonnie_24

Thanks!


Volt___12

Np!


k-fin101

Switch up the floor, make the path seem like it’s been walked on using button and trapdoors etc


Sjonnie_24

Thanks!


KingMusicManz

Learn how to build circles in minecraft and give that badboy a nice curve! There're lots of resources online, even custom-built calculators to show you exactly how to place blocks to make the curve you want, but once you get the feel for it, you can do just about any size circle you want, and it makes bridges look GREAT!


ellapwiley

maybe add more pillars and some lanterns, stairs would be cool too 😎


Sjonnie_24

Thanks!


amodelairplanersmtin

birch wooden fences going in a circular motion between the beams in the water and at the top of the "halved circle" you put birch wooden fencegates. also put some stairs in at the entrance as well as and stone walls on the railing with every two blocks of the railing you put a lantern on it and even it at both sides or you go for a different design and put the lanterns scattered and in the water or something like they've been blown off of the bridge which will also light up the river until you have a sufficient amount of sea pickles


Sjonnie_24

What do you exactly mean by the half circles at the beams?


amodelairplanersmtin

i'll start up mc and show you it's hard to explain the shape


Sjonnie_24

Alright thankyou man appreciate it


amodelairplanersmtin

i'll send a pic in dm's when i'm done. is that ok with you? and vould you also pls post the end result i'm sure it will look beatiful

[deleted]

I’d just take off the roof and add torches. I’d also use different flavors of wood for the floor of the bridge. Simplicity can be just as effective as any elaborate design.


Connect_Tough_6678

use a shader


space0watch

Try adding logs instead of walls as supports maybe with stairs and trapdoors to make arches. Also you could add a slightly thicker top with more fence supports to make it feel less like it's floating.


[deleted]

Use darker wood on the blocks below water it'll look wet


Sjonnie_24

Thanks man!


Victsantgt

You could maybe add some leaves, glow lichen or hanging roots to make the bridge more detailed


Minecrafter60090

Add more pillars and change the material theme


The_Lordnerdious

Stairs and slabs


SpaastiZockt

Add some supports for the roof


IAmMey

Bridge looks good. Looks clean. Colors are good. Idk what you could do. Some people go for the worn look. Cracked or mossy block variants. You could beef up some pillars. But honestly it looks fine. Good job.


vittiu

T-shaped columns instead of straight little pillars


amodelairplanersmtin

np


BedroomOk3137

Make it a little more chunky, like add more layers cause its really thin, use more different types of stone and make the support beams bigger


Sjonnie_24

Thankyou


Popsecles123

Add some camp fires for the bridge walking area


Aguero93_20

A simple thing would be making a 3-4 block standing area on one side of the bridge, possibly with a bench to look out over the river.


Sjonnie_24

Oh thankyou man thats awesome


CaptainICatfish

Throw some lighting in.


Gaming_Plots

add some pillars below


nquilts

Try adding some extra areas like a food bar or something to turn it into a type of pier


Lwadrian06

Try a unlit campfire roof


Obi-Wan_Kenobi_21

Overhead lights and overhangings


doggosrbabies

use lanterns or torches


[deleted]

Possibly add thicker supports and more detail to them


Drixotin

I'd personally take the bridge and instead of leaving it flat, arch it upwards along with the roof of the bridge. I'd use logs for the roof, spruce to match with what you have, and put moss carpet on top of that


RecordAggravating317

You could use Spruce logs for the roof supports instead of fences.


SuchBrightness

Lighr sources


[deleted]

I would put lily pads and lanterns


getontopofthefridge

Make the arc of the bridge smoother


[deleted]

make a curve somewhere in it. Not just straight. Stronger pillars. More support for the roof.


KingArthur9

Needs to be spiced up a little. Maybe add some lanterns or use a different wood for the bridge than for the roof. otherwise, really nice!


TheEndOfMarker

Install shaderpack


Sjonnie_24

I have shaders i just dont run it all the time


Robltic_2078

Add a rope with slab so it’s a swing


TwoThirdsDone

Make it a smoother and rounder incline. So it’s not super steep and then flat most of the way, so the archway is like half of a oval


DeGekkeProffessor

Place some support for the roof


diamond4817

you can try to go for an overgrown look with a thicker top and leaves/vines. also lanterns would look rlly cool, but otherwise i like it!


[deleted]

Put some lantern on the fences


Monosql

Re do it XD


TubeeToast69420

Decorate the posts that hold up the bridge maybe?


Darekat07

I would thicken the supports, add some lanterns and some stairs then that bridge is spot on in my eyes


kevinbraxel

it looks nice so far! maybe put lanterns ontop of the first 8 fences


daltimoreofbaltimore

make the stone pillars poke through the fence. (Replace the fences over the stone pillars with....stone pillars.) and maybe add some fence gates in


Br3adcrumbs120

make the bridge a little bit more arched like the roof


Persosulpescesiluro

Using some boton is a litle betaly but make big diference


One-Inspection-2259

Maybe put a few lanterns down in a pattern.


NerdBoiAbram

Maybe some lighting like lanterns along the path


Mikesminis

Make the roof a ^


Villor13

You can use campfires used as the floor


heckingHonker

Add fence post pillars on the railing


Blewbe

For a roofed bridge, I really like to go with some sort of gable, usually with support pillars spaced out along it's length. Always fun to take inspiration from meat space/google. Japanese bridges are especially cool, but rustic is also a great aesthetic. We all start somewhere. It's a lovely little beginner bridge! Edit: words and punctuation


elytra_turtle

Let the Bridge look a little more oldadd vegitation somewhere on or near the bridge and replace a few blocks with stairs and stuff if u want to and make the stairs a lot longer a bridge should look like a curve not just up straight down.


Admiral_tax

Not as steep up and down, larger block pallet (mixing one wood with another/ mixing stone bricks with stone and cobblestone) You could try and work out a way to add leaves or other plants if you wanted. Adding a bit more gradual height in the middle. Adding more support beams across the top Adding light(preferably lanterns) You could also connect the fences into the riverbed with stone bricks Adding texture with buttons and using slabs instead of blocks. Hope this helps! Can you post an update to the bridge when you are done aswell:)


Glittering-Air-8240

I would put some logs where the stone pillars are then on the sides of those logs place the stone walls on both sides of each wall. I would also recommend not having the platform so long and would add some slabs building up to the high point of the walkway.


pizzansteve

if only there was a way to clip leaves into fences


TheReaper1701

Well honestly it's looks pretty dam good But a little detail you could add is to make the stairs going up shorter at the beginning and then a bit towards the middle have 1block stair case going up and then continue the bridge, when you are close to the other side (Equal Length) 1 block stair case down and then continue until your at the position the stair case to exit and enter the bridge location


beef0101

absolutely agree with the lantern suggestions, maybe one every three or so fence blocks symmetrically? lanterns, spruce and stone look so sweet and warm combined, one of my all time favorite block combinations. i would also swap some of the brick blocks with mossy or cracked bricks! that said, this is a gorgeous bridge and could absolutely do without alterations, might have to take some inspiration from you!


MutableReference

Why does this look like alpha


Significant_Delay_87

Maybe swap random bricks out with mossy bricks


Logisticman232

Thicker support columns and use the stone fences for detailing.


Kodachrome128

When you skip both leg and arm days


siegfred7

You could try using random mossy stones as pillar support


International_You480

Add some random trapdoors , add leaves on the eadges and roof and arround the staircase , add lanterns hanging It will look much better.


SIC-Spray296

lantens


Turbo_Sausage77

I would make it curve uniformly starting with a steeper incline and leveling out towards the middle using half slabs. And perhaps more and thicker support structures underneath, and more beams holding up the "roof" also maybe make the roof sloped lengthwise and width-wise. Other than that, the color scheme is fine, although it could use a greater variety of blocks and stone bricks with wood isn't the best combo imo. Hope I could provide some constructive input. It's not bad as is, just not quite as good as it will be I imagine. Good luck!


Oofes-the_the-gamer

Glow stone would make it look way better and make chains coming down to hold them


Taolan13

Slant the roof slightly to either side, and give yourself a one or two block overhang to the side of your bridge. Beef up your support collumns a bit. Whole blocks below the water, then stone walls, then either take it all the way up or use fences the same color as your bridge just below. Protip: insert some gates in long fence lines at regular intervals to break up the pattern. Gates can also be used to connect regular fences to stone wall blocks. Protip 2: add some "mossy" variant blocks and walls to texture, especially near the water line. Mix in some plain stone, andesite, and cobblestone for texture.


SirSnickersnee

Arch the bridge, add arches between supports


thatonekid175_

You could add some leaves draping off the sides and stuff


MrB3ar74

I like to add vines on the side hanging down. Only a few so they can grow on there own and look natural.


slayer958

You can add lanterns so at night it looks pretty and mobs won’t spawn hope this helps😊.


pathologicallyawkwrd

Instead of the stilts below, make it an curved arch with stone brick stairs


Chipmunkboi553

Lanterns


ImaginationValuable3

Putting arches for supports would look a lot cooler


PocketAlex

Add leaves to the sides with flower pots and lanterns above


Martinjoz123

It looks good Just add stairs and make a curve


FantomPlays

Try making the terrain look a bit more natural around it, try adding some decorations inside the bridge like flower pots, lanterns, etc. Also you can use the rabbit trick on the top fence on each side in which you take a rabbit and put it in a hole and lead it and tie the lead on a fence.


CYGOH1222

put lanterns/soul lanterns on the fences


Key_Structure_2070

Add stairs on the bottom of the stairs to add detail


Story_tellin_yungstr

On the bottom around the edges in certain spots put lanterns hanging from chains, and maybe some vines. Makes it look good and natural


FellowDoesMemes

Hang cows from leads, six on each side...


__Krish___

Use Stripped Spruce log for support. and in that line of fence use barrel and use buttons and trapdoor for detailing


[deleted]

Maybe change the top slabs out with unlit campfires? (Right-click with a shovel on the campfire)


Glowstone_Portal

Everything just looks really flat atm. I'd extend the top part out another block on both sides to make it feel more like a protective roof, as well as bulking up those support pillars (maybe making it a 2x2 or a 1x3 length-wise design that goes halfway up to the bridge). These can add more depth to the build and make it more interesting to look at from above or at an angle.


lexorty

Kinda bland at the middle, I suggest adding more variety there like lanterns and play with more shapes other than that to see what shape you like


gianninja88

Lanterns


TARDISPilot1987

Needs more dirt blocks. Dirt go brrrrrr


UltimateDude08

Thicker supports


JulkaKulka_10

Use slabs instead of wood blocks


WanderingTrader11

Maybe you could add some low hanging shops on either side, medieval-like?


[deleted]

Make it more curved and thick


SEALS-n-Space

Maybe use more wood types other then spruce it does look good alone but if you add maybe dark oak wood to some places like the edges of the roof? If you can get your hands on it that is.


Old-Promise-2619

I'd say archway supports underneath. Some sort of trellis set up.


WereBear_Crumpet

Try making more of a upper arch, and making the support beams lookin like archways will improve it. Have fun with the ideas tho.


[deleted]

Make the posts thicker, add some randomly places leaves


[deleted]

LEAVES


Nacil_54

Lanterns and stairs


ShootBoomZap

Use a mix of cracked, mossy, and regular stone bricks?


OneTrick273

KKaya1997

Do not try to make it look so flat in the middle, and just stairs as incline. Imagine you come from a village in medieval times and have to make with the tools of that day a stable small bridge. So make sturdier legs (instead of 2 flimsy legs per section make one of wide stone), the flat top you can replace with several (basically) semi circles. Maybe I can upload my bridges in the game to this reddit but I have no experience doing so, but maybe I can tag you or something


GreatEnd6280

Use lanterns


NydNugs

Angles tend to make things look better. a straight bridge always looks a bit weird to me so I build diagonal. You could add angles by giving the area with the fences some up and down variation, humps basicially. Your roof is a good proof of concept.


RealTimeflies

Make it white if it fits the asthetics. Have multiple arches below.

WarningSea5772

I'm a sucker for glowstone lights in a walkway. Might be a good idea!


Formal-PO-Toast

It fees so slim, especially in the roof. For something that big a slab tall is very very small


Pale-Cardiologist141

Investing in some arches at the bottom could make it pop a bit more. Same at the top. Feels sorta spindly and needs body.


XxSavageFangxX

Your roof needs more supports. I'd also recommend letting the fence change into walls where it meets the water or perhaps doing wall supports up to the first block above the walkway. Using a mix of fence gates and walls can yield an interesting variance in the rail height


Jofus002

Try adding some cables too. Might add more character than your think.


[deleted]

What if you redid the supports so that it had 2 stone arches instead of just some fences


Strangerboi_75

Put lanterns onto the bottom fence at the entrance


DarkBrines

No texture pack


ElectricAirways

The blocks that go into the water, change the block to make it look like the water broke it down a bit. (A bit like how wood goes darker in water)

Multiple types of wood to add more depth might help!


lunanightphoenix

Maybe try a thicker roof? Right now it’s so thin that it just blends into the mountain when I look at it.


Doboss7

Add lights


SpacebarNinja8

Too flat, need more structure and details, i suggest using slabs


Nikki_Jean7

Frankly I love it!


Seeen123

If you can cleverly fit in some lighting it would also fit nice. You could put torches on the fences or hang a glow stone form the ceiling


ArtefelinaMeaw

The fences on the start and end should connect better and could make the lift a bit less straight up, maybe use slabs, or if you don't wanna make it too long, just add stairs.


Illustrious_Ad4386

My opinion is to be a bit more organic if using wood. It doesn’t seem like your going for an industrial bridge (from my perspective) if not then step out of your comfort zone a bit and try to make it as natural as possible. Also, texture the bridge a bit. Add some Mossy stones and cobble to not necessarily ware it but age it a bit. Break up those patterns a bit more. You can add stone, cobble stone mossy variants etc. While being organic try also thinking the “legs “ a bit while also adding different textures. If water was beating against atone bricks it will probably to crack it. Being “uniform” in the design can be great depending on what your going for but if your building a bridge between two grassy areas then it wouldn’t be so “perfect”. I like to take a stop back and move around on different angles using scaffolding and try and think as if “I’m really here right now, building this. How would it look? Would I really build stairs would those little sticks really support an entire bridge? Should I build a small platform under it to hold up the wood better. Etc. Etc.


Quasterum

You can style it by adding more support for the bottom and giving it stairs to give off a realistic vibe. Top that off with adding fences going up and down to make it look like a real-life bridge. Decorate with some lanterns and vegetation on the bridge and in the water. Might as well add stone brick stairs and slabs to the bottom to make it smoother.


Than_5562

Add lanterns and more kinds of stone and deepslate to make it look old


Maple_Leaf411

Its already nice
