Welcome to my thread for custom trees. Here you may see all the trees i have made, currently we only have 6 trees, but it will grow and i also really need advice so..any feedback would be appreciated!
Ok here are the trees!

Minecraft (Hint&Tips) Guide To Making Things Look Old!
Ok so I have always been very fond of medieval houses, towns and stuff. And here I will show you how I, and maybe others make our things look old! Now, lets get onto it!:
Material Use
Ok, so Material use is very important and has a large impact on your buildings.
So now that thats sorted lets look at some other areas of material use. For example cobwebs: Cobwebs add a very nice feel to your builds and definitely improve the reality meter. These can be used in Chimneys (We look into Chimneys later), attics, caves, etc.
Walls and Fences
Walls and fences also are very important in an old house, if you have corners on your roof or something. You can add these as supports and things. Cobblestone walls definitely look nice scattered around the place. These can be used for supports for many other things for example, bridges, paths, etc
Roofs and Paths
Roofs and Paths AS WELL, are important in your builds. Paths can be made out of most materials and scattering your blocks around look very nice, I like that mix of gravel with cobble, But lots of neat paths include leaves, clay, and lots of other things:
So now that those are out of the way lets move onto other stuff.
Vines!
Vines definitely help your builds, they add nice reality to those old abandoned houses, usually in forests or large masses of green. For example, here is a town I made with vines:
As you can see, I have leave blocks hanging off from the top, this, I thought would be a nice touch to the house seeing as the vines were overgrowing and taking over that colourful feel I wanted. With those leaves I connected them all at the top, to make it extra realistic, cause no leaves randomly grow on roofs by themselves.
Chimneys!
So, Now we move onto chimneys, they are used in many old medieval houses. Both old and modern houses have them these days, but different styles. These days are more Brick, like so:
If your doing an old house its a good idea to add some smoke coming out, I think the best combination is cobwebs and grey wool or clay of some sorts. Like this:
But if you think thats a bit over the top just go with the plain cobweb smoke
Buildings and Decorations!
Attics And Interiors
Interior is a large factor in the old buildings.
For Houses
When I build a house, I always imagine the person living inside it so I can put in as much detail as I can. For example: I have pictured a soldier who has survived some war and spends his days reminiscing of his son, who died in the war. He has also picked up a small hobby of writing, and occasionally plans story’s and poems.
In his house, I put a lot of detail, he has his personal writing desk where he does his pieces, I remodeled it into this world, as the server I work on doesn't let me use my builds for other things:
He also has a beautiful view of the sunrise from his kitchen window. His kitchen is the usual but is also where he stores his old war things, such as Armour, weapons etc, this I unfortunately can not remodel though as I used a plugin from the server, but I hope I gave you an idea of it.
Lots of other things as well, such as storage places, usually isolated from the main areas such as kitchens, bedrooms and stuff. These will usually include chests, crates, hay bales, cobwebs, and other stuff! And usually no windows.
For Stables
So, Stables are really nice touches for the old towns and villages. You wanna make it as realistic as possible, here is one I made a while ago:
As you can see, its not very developed but does the job. Still needs loads more detail though, I just slapped it on. It holds the horse in a little pen where he has water and grass. They hold there food, saddles, Armour, etc. In some chests in the attic and down low, They also hold a guard there making sure to look after the horses and defend the building from intruders. Unfortunately, you can not see him, as he despawned.
You wanna make your stables bigger, to be honest, as said before this build was rushed but yours doesn’t have to be! You can also add lots of windows making sure the horses have a nice view and don’t think they're in a jail.
Stables usually aren’t in the middle of a town either, they should be placed not too far a way from the center, so a place where people can easily get to, but also not too close, cause people might not like the horses in their company and the smell of the poo!
For Taverns or Shops
Taverns and shops/stalls are very common in old towns and are very useful. For Stalls people usually do this or something:
Taverns get a little more complicated, I usually just put in some of those classic tables and chairs, a nice door, some stools, a long bench, and a nice bar, as usual I don’t have the walls here cause I couldn’t use my other build, but try to imagine them:
The bars gotta have a lot of detail, and in this case, the item frames are your friends. You gotta put in the drinks and food, even have a cool menu on the bench!
Fountains!
Fountains are one of my favourite things to build in Minecraft! Note: These fountains will include those paths we talked about earlier!
So its pretty basic, put in the chairs, lamp, and the scattered path. But you can also add in much more detail, for example a rubbish bin or hole, some tables? I don't know, but the possibility’s in Minecraft are always endless right???
Gardens, Parks, and Custom Trees!
Gardens, Parks, and Custom Trees end up being really fun and you realize how much detail you can actually put into them. We are gonna start with Gardens though.
Here is a wonderful garden type thing one of my friends made!:
As you can see he has added in little hills with flowers and crops, as well as little pools, nice paths, a brilliant overhang entrance, And a nice custom tree to top it off!
Now onto Parks. Parks can just be gardens but in bigger size. These parks usually include the same stuff the fountains do except a few more custom trees!
Now we go Custom Trees!!!!!'
Custom trees are very nice for old builds and have a very nice feel to them. So we have to start with the trunk, we can add in cool branches if we want!

Disponibility: I'm not sure what your asking here.
Attachments (Previous builds, projects, etc): Well i have my projects/pieces on a USB but just give me something to write and i'll do it (perfectly).
About yourself: I am a 10 year old writer currently in the process of my second novel, this one shall be published. I also play soccer as a hobby and a few other things
-Use glowstone or redstone lamps as street lights.
-Keep industrial and residential areas apart. If you want to make a big modern building, you put it with all of the other large buildings. If you want to make a cozy little cabin, put it with the other houses. Putting a little cabin next to a giant modern building is kind of weird.
Yeah you're making good progress, but have a bit more of a think about how you'd like to group your buildings. Right now you've got a mix between tall sky scrapers and little wood cabins with little in between and the disparity's pretty noticeable. Decide on how big you imagine the city will be too. Generally, for every big tall building, you should have two to three smaller ones.
Planning is the key really, show that you've put some thought into setting out the different districts and thought about the city layout, otherwise it's just going to look like a random collection of buildings.
Yeah thanks for that. I wanted to know your opinions. Those cabins were basically place holders. I'll also definitely start planning a layout now! I've already got the metro line sketched out so i'll base it off that! Thanks for the help guys!

Material Use
Ok, so Material use is very important and has a large impact on your buildings.
For example:
[img]http://i.imgur.com/DYZxgv0.png[/img]
Here is a wall, its plain right? Just all stone looking.
Now you can add to this by just adding in some cobblestone like so:
[img]http://i.imgur.com/HiLiq3e.png[/img]
I sometimes add in a few little scattered blocks at the bottom to give it that extra nice old feel.
[img]http://i.imgur.com/01oDZTg.png[/img]
If your in 1.8 or something you could do a mix of polished and unpolished stones!
[img]http://i.imgur.com/sJnh6v6.png[/img]
So now that thats sorted lets look at some other areas of material use. For example cobwebs: Cobwebs add a very nice feel to your builds and definitely improve the reality meter. These can be used in Chimneys (We look into Chimneys later), attics, caves, etc.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/X85TkOu.png[/img]
[img]http://i.imgur.com/fc1KBKH.png[/img]
Paths can also have little potholes and things in them, to give it that look of abandoned, as well as wrongly placed things scattering off the path.
Roofs also are very important in your builds. I build some like this, with the scattered wood giving it a nice look:
[img]http://i.imgur.com/RKzEPez.png[/img]
And then there are many others for example these:

So now that those are out of the way lets move onto other stuff.

Then he has his bedroom, rowed with bookshelves and a table with the skull of his son and some enemies, This I also had to remodel:
[img]http://i.imgur.com/DFjrUI4.png[/img]
He also has a beautiful view of the sunrise from his kitchen window. His kitchen is the usual but is also where he stores his old war things, such as Armour, weapons etc, this I unfortunately can not remodel though as I used a plugin from the server, but I hope I gave you an idea of it.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/TStXzTE.jpg[/img]
Ignore the text on that picture, I just couldn't be bothered making my own so I got it from the interne
But you can explore with different materials, like how I recently made some stalls out of blue and light blue clay, and I liked it! Here they are:
[img]http://i.imgur.com/LECLT7E.png[/img]
Taverns get a little more complicated, I usually just put in some of those classic tables and chairs, a nice door, some stools, a long bench, and a nice bar, as usual I don’t have the walls here cause I couldn’t use my other build, but try to imagine them:
[img]http://i.imgur.com/pGUE3yC.png[/img]

Custom trees are very nice for old builds and have a very nice feel to them. So we have to start with the trunk, we can add in cool branches if we want!
[img]http://i.imgur.com/8wDHSxl.png[/img]
So it looks like a dead tree at the moment, but now we add the leaves:
[img]http://i.imgur.com/qh9lkzO.png[/img]
You want it random but not too random, it has to have some rough edges, not just a round blob. So we end up with something like this:
[img]http://i.imgur.com/ib5Fx7F.png[/img]
Hope you enjoyed that custom tree tutorial! Enjoy some more!:
