No matter how small a build may be, within the Minecraft community, there is always someone who finds a way to make it even smaller. A user by the name of SirAdyUnleashed created a miniature taiga biome, and upon closer inspection, you’ll notice that the trees are merely saplings, while everything else consists of fences and flower pots. One of the most intriguing entries in this contest was a mini desert by findidledee2. How did they create those wonderful cacti? To be honest, I feel a bit awkward saying this, but sea cucumbers were used as cacti. It’s a very simple build, yet it’s incredibly well thought out. The minimalism combines essential elements that allow for easy recognition of this biome type. Perfect!
Biomes are just one of the many recognizable elements in Minecraft Bedrock. There is a vast array of locations to discover, and nearly all of them can be envisioned in miniature form.
The mini ocean temple, created by the team Just_playing_games, allows players to experience the underwater world while remaining on land! To sustain life on this little island, the creators had to employ some clever techniques. They soaked smooth sandstone slabs in water for the coral effect, and the floating heads were generated using console commands. Was it fair to use external tools? Well, technically yes; there were no strict rules set. Besides, if it enhances the build, why not go for it? While this may not qualify as a biome, scaling down an ocean temple to such dimensions requires remarkable building skills. I certainly wouldn’t mind having something like this on my map.
This is what a mini-version of the Edge City and the Fortress of the Lower World looks like: Looking at these builds, I can’t help but wonder: “What can be achieved with mods?” There are specific skills that play a crucial role in constructing scaled-down versions of biomes and other structures. However, it’s impossible to create the same builds by hand as you would with the mod Chisels & Bits.
The capabilities of this mod have been utilized by YukiTheNeko. They crafted an incredibly adorable mini-island within a closed cube. The mod does not introduce major alterations; rather, it adds small yet significant features that allow for a transformation in the overall building concept. After installing and activating the mod, each block in Minecraft is broken down into several smaller versions of that same type of block. This allows for highly detailed assembly.
If such opportunities are available to us, why not use them for other purposes? For instance, creating a biome room showcasing exhibits of all the main biomes in the game. User Tommy_Tonk did just that. He constructed a mini-version of the dining mountains inside his home. I would love to have something like that myself. Imagine a tiny space filled with complete mountains and valleys; perhaps the only thing missing there is a mini-version of mobs. Creating such projects will likely take a considerable amount of time: learning the mod, designing all areas, and constructing them. However, what truly matters is your desire to build this. If you genuinely enjoy doing it, then it doesn’t matter how much you need to learn or how long it takes.
