Few things to note. No barbican, no bastions, no gatehouse. Also virtually no decorations inside :sad.gif:
Update pic - eagle-eye overview (yes the keep is too big for the castle, or the castle is too small for the keep...)
#1. View of my hilltop keep from the ground.
#2. A closeup of the stair system. Note the single fence posts running up the outside. I was trying to get lights to sit on top of them, but I failed :sad.gif:
#3. The current front door to my castle. (yes it sucks, you dont need to tell me that :tongue.gif: It will change when I get around to it)
#4. Another entrance view to give you a better view of the front of my castle.
#5. Top shot of the stair-way.
#6. Top shot from the other side. (All the white lines along the ground are steps.....I dont like having to jump when I walk around my town :tongue.gif: )
#7. View over the front wall.
#8. Close-up of the gate. Best portcullis I could come up with :/ Yes, the entire wall is filled with lava....Dried up 3 lava flows to get enough lava!
#9. Original entrance to my base. Inside the waterfall. Used to be into a large hill, which turned into my keep over time :smile.gif:
#10. Test cactus farm I built. Next on my list to raze :smile.gif:
#11. Door behind the waterfall. Button on this side, pressure plate on the other.
#12. The first room I carved out on this world! Lava incinerator and eternal spring.
#13. Same room. Storage chests, workbench and forges.
#14. Top of my boat-a-vator :smile.gif: Lava behind glass is sexy IMO!
#15. Tree farm. Nothing special.
#16. Wheat farm. Stolen from someone on here, works very well!
#17. Branch farm @ bedrock. Mirrored on the other side. 3 levels high.
#18. Bottom of the boat-a-vator.
#19. View through the front door of my castle. Floor pattern I put together.
#20. Main floor / Floor pattern. 2nd view.
#21. Second floor of the keep. Open-air bailey. Took the grass a while to grow its way up here :smile.gif:
#22. Looking up at the central keep.
#23. Parapet facing the front of my castle.
#24. Throne room + throne. Near the top of the keep. Theres a ladder hidden behind a picture behind the throne.....shhhhhh :tongue.gif:
#25. Bedroom in the clouds! Roof is 1 block from the sky limit.
#26. Looking through my 'floorlight' at the throne room.
#27. My 'epic' dock :smile.gif: lol
#28. Yes I have a boat dispenser.......Jealous? :smile.gif: (yes I know theres a better model I could make, with a return mechanism.....but Im too stoopid to get it to work....lol.
I suggest growing a garden of sorts outside. A place where you can take walks in. With lots of trees--mainly.
Too much room in the castle walls.
I plan on it. The area near the water with the several levels will be a garden area. I know theres a lot of open space inside the walls. I plan on filling it with an entire town. Houses, an inn, a market area, stables, everything you can think of in a medieval town.
This is absolutely stunning! The great thing is you left yourself so much exterior room to work with inside the walls. You could possibly add some small houses inside the walls perimeter, fill it up with farms, with trees? There are so many options.
Started off as my first day base (behind the waterfall). Morphed into a decent sized castle with a large-ish wall surrounding the future town/harbor.
I will gladly listen to any and all suggestions you may have, especially re: the glass walkway up to the castle itself :smile.gif:
In case anyone cares, this is 100% legit :smile.gif:

It's called Brown and Bloom, no animated water :sad.gif:
Also, the "better light" mod for the soft lighting blending, and the better grass mod (bundled) for the sexy grass blocks.

Yeah im seriously considering it. The is where the old hill extended to before I cleared it away.
Its a lot of and a rather awkward place to get to :sad.gif:
TBH I might have close to enough in my chests already....
Hey. =D
