Empires SMP: Amethyst Empire Expansion! Episode 3

Today on the Empires SMP, my friends and I attempt to take on the end... the hard way. Flying machine tragedy happens, but I am gifted some elytra from pixlriffs! I then clear out an amethyst geode for farming, and begin creating a new cliff house. We take a trip to the nether, and explore all the fantastic purple blocks.

Hello Gem, here is another block you (and everyone in general) barely use: glazed terracotta! I think the purple glazed terracotta could look great as a decorative element, middle point of floor, top or bottom of pillar, it would match purpur and ametist so well. Also it could give you an opportunity to trade and see how you stand with smallishbeans! ☺️😉 Hope my suggestion was somewhat useful for you, love the series!

Idk why, but when Gem said she was gonna expand the top of the waterfall and move it up, my first thought was that the waterfall came from an underground spring inside the mountain.

[@kenchieh2819]

You could add glow lichen and glow berries to make it a glowing hot spring!

[@sillykitty3904]

I'm not sure if the waterfall should be from a hole at the bottom of the spring or if the spring should have part of wall open to the outside where the water fall runs out the spring and out of the hole and down the mountain. Like an open air hot spring.

[@priscillagocende7984]

Imagine if she made like a hole in the side of her mountain and filled it in with amethyst so it looked like the whole mountain was just one big geode.I feel like that would look so epic!
