Guys i'm super new to reddit but idk where else to get help so

basically im just trying to build this cool structure in my world but i cant for the life of me figure out what colors and blocks to use and (if any) what parts to actuate. i've also barely started on the build so far, but i dont really feel like continuing until i can get the colors and blocks right since everything i've tried looks really ugly.

I'm using dragonlens so resources arent a problem and a few other mods like calamity for bosses

  1. Dude, that looks awesome.

    Better than anything I’ve built (besides a mediocre bar).

    Anyways, I’ve heard to actuate anything “background” ish (like the random floating things, so you can fly easier), and paint them white. Then you can go through it, and its hitboxless (that should look right, idk)

    I personally dont build much but probably use a variety of colored walls for a gradient and use paint and hammer blocks

    -Need building advice

    How the fuck, does one build something like that, I would have to play for the next 10 years on the same world if I wanted to build that just for the design alone

    This is amazing

    If I’m reading right you are trying to recreate the image in your world.

    The vast majority of the terrain portions are just regular Ice. For some of the background walls it looks like variants of dirt walls and stone walls. For the man-made parts I see either ebonstone brick or Sandstone brick. I can also see stained glass and gemspark wall, diamond tends to take paint best. As for the other blocks I’d have to lay them out in a dev world to look back and forth with, which I recommend you do for all builds when your trying to recreate someone else’s builds.

    As for colors it looks like the non-ice blocks are painted sky-blue, you’ll have to experiment to see if its the deep variant or not.
