Dark block palettes
Builds in deepslate, blackstone and dark wood, with a lighter frame so the shape still reads.
Nether fortressDark nether bricks between grey basalt pillars, with red nether brick roofs. Shroomlight is the light source, so the build glows without a torch in sight.Deepslate keepA dark stone castle that still has depth: lighter tuff brick pillars against deepslate brick walls, a dark oak roof, and glowstone set into the walls instead of torches.Pale garden manorPale oak planks with grey pale oak log pillars, a dark tile roof and a single orange note from resin bricks. Looks right in a pale garden or on a foggy hill.Blackstone bastionPolished blackstone bricks with lighter basalt pillars, the blocks a bastion is made of. Magma blocks glow along the base, and a few gilded blackstone blocks are the only gold.Dark oak manorDark oak walls between stone brick pillars, under a steep deepslate brick roof that is a shade lighter than the walls. A birch floor keeps the inside from being too dark, bookshelves line the walls and red glass colours the light.
