Built a small fantasy-style tavern (named The Sleeping Dragon) in a friend's Realms server to serve as a safe zone to rest and restock on supplies. A farmer villager at the main desk offers all the usual trades up to and including golden carrots, while a butcher in the attached cafe offers cooked chicken along with the usual other trades. Barrels in both locations contain stacks of free food, and simple garden plots behind the tavern host crops players can harvest to sell to the villagers.
The second floor of the tavern (accessed via a spiral staircase in the tower) contains five, furnished rooms that all resemble the one shown. Above that, the tower balcony offers a panoramic view of the starter area including a small hedge maze with multiple dead-ends with treasure chests placed about containing various mid-game loot. The maze also fearless a small clearing with a koi pond and bench, and another small nook with a fountain and copper golem statue.
On one side, tall, ornamental evergreens frame the hedge maze to offer players a point of reference while they traverse the maze. The far exit leads to a simple dirt path road that extends to the shore of the marshland's bay.
Didn't want to go too overboard with the designs, hoping the builds would help new players get situated while inspiring a little creativity beyond the game's vanilla villages.
