Idea- Later on, you realize that over time, the bridge is starting to slowly collapse, then you build a man-made support structure ( if under the bridge can be a pillar or if over can be chains).

[@d.vandervelde7749]

Same bro, the first look at the entrance and instant Erebor/Moria vibes

[@alexanderstewart5180]

I was thinking exactly the same thing

[@grimrsp]

something you've probably already thought of is over time there would be land slides, snow storms, natural disasters etc.. so of course the pillars would need to be repaired but also the landscape would change fallen dirt, moss would grow, random plants would sprout up if your going for a old/natural kind of look these small things could really pull it together!

[@joshuaadams9232]

I think if you want the bridge look more natural you're gonna need to add some vertical dept; for example add some slabs and little moss patches hanging over the edges

[@nicenag3399]

I think you can get a lot of inspiration from the mine in "Lord of the rings". (Maybe a dragon on a pile of gold in one of the deeper caves?)

[@nickwoodbridge6291]

Or something like the moria hallways

[@SapphireSeahorse494]

the bridge reminded me of Moria so much!! And there was even a deeper, big open cave that had lava at the bottom underneath everything! (there's water in LOTR but lava is even cooler for Gandalf and the Balrog to fall into.

[@admiralpeak]

Yes you absolute genius. something like moria or erebor

[@Screenload]

I was thinking the same 😀

[@papalovegood7323]

Would be really cool

[@evk2486]

I love the base so far, and I can't wait to see it grow! One suggestion though, i think the bridge would look even nicer if the top wasn't flat - the middle could still be flat for walking, but you can maybe build up the edges and fill the ground with slabs and stairs and waterlog a few of them.

[@viktorijasuklina4184]

That's a good idea, I also thought about the same thing! I think it would look rlly cool, like the bridge was carved from the sideways pillar

[@alwayssleepy3738]

looking like a broken pillar

[@artempopov50]

Thought about the same. Also he can use waterlogged slabs/stairs and stalactites to create feeling of natural erosion.

[@lordbunka]

A dwarven village with railroads, mineshafts, houses, fortresses would be cool

[@craigsymborski92]

He should add a small flatish path across the bridge as if it has been eroded from travelers, with the edges being rounded like natural rock

[@wiseguy7603]

The cave is so big, since you want some details to show that it has been ‘lived in’, it would be awesome if you make little dwarven houses for your villagers. Instead of the huts you now have, make it so they have their own houses scattered around the caves. Really gives you the feel of a dwarven mine/city.

[@robertsimpson9010]

The field mansion kinda gives me Iceland vibes. Colorful box homes. Love that aesthetic. Kinda like Aurora Skies from the sims 3.

[@rory9088]

Love the bridge, but seems a little stretched, have you considered adding a stalagmite as a pillar in the middle so that it’s more like two bridges than one? Just a thought.

Idea for the base: With the bridge you should have vines hanging down holding the bridge up. Since it starts in a lush cave I feel like it would fit.

[@Querez8504]

ah yes the plants will be holding up the metric tons of rock

[@jayofthep]

I would also make it slope up slightly with slabs gradually moving it up a block or two so it isnt so flat

[@josephbolton5893]

If he places moss and clay on the bridge he should also put some dripstone in the ceiling above the bridge above that spot and have it drip water down onto it. I think it would look really neat and add an explanation as to how the moss is growing there.

i would suggest making the bridge less uniform from the top in due time! it's all flat and straight for now and i think it would look a lot more at home with depth and curves and stuff

Same thought. Stairs and slabs on the top to curve the edge so it looks less sharp and flat.

[@tammysquire6992]

yes and maybe diagonalizing too, a bit more 3D.

[@batmanbatfat2362]

I think that moss hanging over the sides of the bridge would look amazing.

[@benjaminbreeden5042]

the deep crevasse that leads to stress’s base would be cool as a glowing crystal/ancient power but be left open so you can fly to stress’s base

[@strana6875]

If you want the bridge to look “lived in” you can do moss/clay patches around the edge, and then various dirts, path blocks, and stone!

[@cntdarthgaming]

A tip with the bridge : The top half looks like it was chopped off so maybe add some unevenness to to the top OR round the sides, anyways love the vid and designs!

[@etiennecasavant]

Great idea, I thought of something similar : Maybe add a slight inverted arch to the bridge, which will make it thinner and narrower in the middle, therefore looking a bit more natural.

[@wendyhughes8740]

Yes if going for a well-used natural bridge it would be worn in the middle where walked more. Plus mossy cobble and green as bridges over river.

[@admirali.a.6175]

You could make the entrance bridge look eroded and naturally broken, by adding small chunks that apparently fell off, with grass growing on top. I think stone walls, stairs and slabs could help add some variety to the build, adding small cracks and a story to the bridge

[@Jelly_ggg]

That brigde looks amazing! I'm getting Moria-vibes just from the bridge itself! Now you have to build a hidden balrog in the deepest part of the caves :D

[@limme2001]

Something the hobbit inspired would be extremely cool. Might be cliche but a dwarf kingdom would fit in perfectly. Medieval big pillars, grand gates, etc. cut out and shaped with the cave formation will always look splendid but I’m sure it will turn out great whatever direction you decide to go in!

[@austinparag9441]

The original cobble bridge remined me of the narrow bridge out of moria lol

[@ak471077]

You could make the bridge semi-natural. Parts of it would be made of stalacmites (the ones that come from the bottom) and been conected by man made wood or stone bridges.

[@jasonreed7522]

Cool idea, i think he definitely should go for a mix of natural and clearly man made connections in the cave. Not to be "that guy" but its stalagmites (grow up from the ground) and stalactites (grow down from the ceiling), you have a c where the g goes.

A tip for caves. A stalagmite might one day reach the top of the cave and stalactites hold on tight to the roof. Easy way to remember it. If it touches both it's a pillar/column I believe (don't really remember)

[@julianthebagel2299]

I suggest making small campsites all over the cave so it looks like it is being explored

[@liamyoung6959]

In terms of texturing the bridge, I think you should add a little cobble stone into it when/if you texture the rest of the cave. Some small dripstone on the bottom might work too. To texture the top a little, I would add aome small lumps of stone with buttons and slabs because right now it looks slightly too flat. Im loving the other ideas for the cave so much too, it's looking realy good!

[@mammapappa9971]

just let the man play the game...

[@tammysquire6992]

I think he's going for the freshly carved bridge idea, which will slowly develop character as it is used. It's a bit like when you make a natural path by breaking the vegitation as you walk from A to B, then turning some into path blocks on another trip, then the same maybe with gravel etc till you have a completely natural looking path over time.

Stalagmites are the "pillars" that are on the floor that might grow to the top. Stalactites hold on tightly to the ceiling. ("Pillars" that are hanging from the ceiling).

[@dutch_and_dimes]

Stalagmites are Natural Formations of Sedimentary Material present on the floors of most Caves or Cave Formations, most likely remains of Weathered Material due to Natural Causes, such as Natural Disasters and Seeping Rainfall. Although their existence and Formation has been recorded over the long part of history, Stalagmites are very rare, and often don't like to form in Nature. Most Stalagmites are rarely formed in Sharp, Pillar-like formations, and you will instead see most of them as small bumps or slopes of elevation in the Cave Floor. However, depending on Material Composition and Method of Formation, it is possible for Stalagmites to form sharp spikes or jagged edges, as more suspended material can cling, onto such areas and wear away over time. This can be seen in most weak-bonding Material, such as Calcium, Clay, Diorite, or a similar Composition of such. The most common recordings of such Formation take place in areas of High Altitudes and an above-average chance of Rainfall. Stalactites are Natural Formations of Non-Sedimentary Material present on the ceilings of most Caves or Cave Formations. The commonplace assumption is that such formations are not dependent entirely on material composition, but mostly on the method of Formation itself. Most Stalactites can only be formed through the process of large amounts of Rainfall seeping into Caves, washing away most of the top-half of the cave's more Sedimentary, Suspended Material, leaving the Solid, Less Sedimentary Material behind. This can cause sharp spikes or pointed cones of Solid Material to Form from where the liquid is most likely to drip from in the Cave's Natural Terrain. Such accounts are usually recorded in places with higher Chances for Rainfall, such as Tropical Rainforests, Weathered Mountains, or Riversides. -Please Note, I haven't studied Geology in a few Years, so some of this information might be either Invalid or Disproven by Professionals in the Field. Believe at your own Risk.

Love the grind this season. Happy to see it. Love your videos

You should have a glass bottom in the bridge, so you can actually see the cave below on your way in.

[@tammysquire6992]

oooh maybe big patches of the stone have eroded due to Iskallium leakage which has hardened into lime glass in some places?!

[@komischertyp4]

@@tammysquire6992 I wrote the comment before he build the bridge, but this could actually still make it work! Great idea!

[@jamdamonium]

I feel like he should make a glass floor across the entire cave at bridge level, with pillars etc mixed in

[@foggiertiger535]

@@tammysquire6992 that would be cool but i feel like the cave would have too many conterasting themes

[@syystomu]

I feel like the red mushrooms contrast really nicely with the greens of the lime glass and the moss and the dark grass, I'd keep them

[@the_Lena_girl]

Looking forward to this project so much! Gonna be honest you had me fooled last episode with not actually doing the cave base for a bit till I realised what and where you were building

[@kaleria608]

I found a really nice cave on a single player world and really wanted to build there but just couldn't get inspired. I can't wait to watch you this season to hopefully rekindle my spark for the cave and get some great ideas!

[@buritsuu]

This is giving me dwarven/ancient ruins vibes! i cant wait to see it completed

[@Goldyferret]

I hadn't realized how much space was in the Omega Cave until Iskall flew through it again, holy crap. It would also be super cool to expand the moss and glow berry roof near the entrance!

[@doubla871]

You should definitely use the spires to “hold”staircases up, I think it would give it a really cool look

Iskall: Nature isn’t easy Also Iskall: *builds an Omega Tree*

[@BomptonBillions999]

halfway builds an omega tree

[@CAST-1]

True 😬

[@samschellhase8831]

Idea for some of the bridges: make some cliffs get near each other, and then finish the connection using a wooden or “rope” bridge?

[@joellentz4074]

Love how there are two groups that are basically the same with you stress and false as cave forest mountain then there is impulse gem and pearl cave forest mountain cant wait to see what you all do with your areas

[@golden_left_nut2260]

Your cave is gonna look amazing, can't wait to see how this season plays out for you iskall

[@jessicafisher4244]

I feel like the bridge needs some changes in height on the surface of it. It looks a little odd being completely flat on the top. Very excited to see how this base turns out as the season progresses.

[@rain596]

The cave entrance looks spectacular :D I love all the colors you're using. the moss blends the dark forest with the lush cave in a really cool way

[@bananaioz1070]

Maybe add like a pillar below the bridge? and maybe add a little hill to it to make it look a little more natural Love the base as of now!

[@BigHeadGreg]

It's been awhile since I have been this excited to see a Minecraft build. I can't wait to see what you do to make that cave look awesome.

[@thenoob3324]

I like how iskall starts the video, simple and straightforward, but when he says that he forgot what he was going to say, it became funny and I laughed.

[@ShadowGod64]

everyone in Hermitcraft: takes many hours to build something really awesome also everyone in Hermitcraft: *"get pranked"*

[@brucetoons]

suggestion for your bridge: add some stone hanging from it (similar to the large stalagmites that you see in the rest of the cave), It would help it feel more natural and a bit less out of place
