Howdy, y’all! Joe Hills here, recording as I always do in Nashville, Tennessee, and this morning on the HermitCraft server, it was time to start work on the facade of the Wool Street project.
During a previous brainstorming call, Xisuma, who holds the grey and light green wool permits, suggested we base our build on the front of the New York Stock Exchange, but replace their large American flag with one of our own that showcased the colors of wool available.
I had a rough idea going into this that I’d scale the building to be proportionate to a 13m high flag with 13 stripes, seven of which were colored and alternated with white, and then use the remaining colors to render a pixel art wolf in the upper left corner.
As I was mocking up the facades with scaffolds, PearlescentMoon, holder of the magenta wool permit came by and advised I construct the building from sandstone with a mix of birch and oak splattered in for texture. That sounded good to me! I’ve only had time to do the base layer of sandstone so by the end of the stream, but I’m happy with how that turned out.
The quartz for the six central pillars came from ImpulseSV, holder of the brown wool permit. The contrast of those pillars against the colorful flag in front of them and the black glass behind them just feels right. Plus, it’ll look fantastic from the interior!
The location is working out great so far. Although we’ll need to extend the building on either side to accommodate all the redstone for the shop, the facade is exactly where I want it!
At the end of the stream, I sent messages to the Hermits asking for help collecting sandstone and for input on the y-level the shopping area should be at so we can avoid unnecessary digging.
I’ll be back to work on this project on my next HermitCraft stream, don’t miss it! You can always find my streaming schedule at https://joehills.net/soon/.
Until next time, y’all, this is Joe Hills from Nashville, Tennessee.
Keep adventuring!
