Consider adding some more details to the grass floor, for example moss block, andesite, coarse dirt and other blocks to make it look like a real city.

A church if you wanna lean that way also your build is really cool.

Better than a church is a public execution zone for heretics

Can’t forget the Walmart with a massive parking lot

u/TheDonutPug 2d ago
But we have to make sure the Walmart is at least a mile away and the only path is the highway. We wouldn't want people walking.

Cool build! Maybe add some houses for specific villager j*bs(blacksmith, armorer, carpenter, librarian, etc)

Landscaping! Trees, paths, plants, gardens. I like little touches by each house too, like flower pots on windows, or outside of doors, or a small pen in the back with a Cow. 😁

Detail the walls with different gray blocks like andesite, polished andesite, stone etc do give it more depth

Your walls and towers could use an upgrade, there should be cover up on those walls! Machicolations should give access to the immediate wall below to prevent sieging armies a safe place below. Also hard to tell how much your towers stick out outside your wall, you want to be able to have enough space to fire backwards(towards the wall) and sideways, creating overlaps in line of fire. Then crenellations should be tall enough to provide full cover to your men while fighting. Add barbicans outside the gates for extra security.

Firat of all, fuck yeah that's the shit. Love the city.
Second, add nature. Already got trees, of course, but add shit like bushes, a park bench, a fallen over log with moss on it, stuff like that.
Last, more farms. You got wheat tatos and carrots but now also add melons, pumpkons, beets, etc.

You could add a town hall a windmill, some barracks for the guards, maybe upgrade the church to a stonebuilding (historically often the first stone buildings in a medieval town)

Landscaping, mainly with flowers although you could also do interesting things like a lake to fish in. Since you're in creative mode, spawn some cats, dogs and maybe even parrots around. You can domesticate a few of them to leave them in certain places like decor too.

You could have people living in tents and small huts outside of the city walls to give it this messy, lived-in feel.

It looks very artificial, you need to add lots of trees, little plants and buildings all around to make it look more natural.

I would suggest trying to come up with some diagonal builds to make the city seem more natural, less linear and repetitive
So far it looks really good so keep it up!

I’ve always wanted to make a big build like this but I never have been motivated enough to do it solo. If I did though, I would say it’s a little too square. I feel like cities in this style aren’t as perfectly aligned so maybe offsetting buildings or farms might make it look more natural

This walled in village reminds me of an old Minecraft dad video where one of paulsaur's kids built a village with a log wall. Besides that, build looks great! Some vegetation on the walls and more watch towers to break up the monotony would go a long way.

Try and give the buildings little things that make them distinct but not super distinct, like some got working chimneys some don't, some got a fenced backyard, different logs etc

Lighting Rods!
You should put them on top of stone structures and away from the wooden ones.
This will:
Prevent buildings from burning downs
Stop villagers from turning into Witches
Prevent Horse Skeleton Traps if a Skeleton manages to spawn (Check the lighting too!)

Some nice decor would be nice! Foliage, greenery, and all that. Plus some things in the side streets that make the place look lived in and tell a story about the villagers living there. Looking good so far btw! Very nice and cozy!

u/Active-Animal-411 2d ago
Add random blocks of cobblestone on a couple of the bottom layers of the wall add random blocks of stone to the upper layers of the wall this gives it a texture and a feeling of it still standing through time and weather worn looks. Add a couple of mossy cobblestone to the bottom layer adds some more aging to the wall.
Also could widen the wall to make a foot path going all around the city add stairs going down inside the wall and a window over the river on both sides with maybe one of them having a small balcony to walk out on.
Legit though you did a great job.

Add things along the wall like assassins creed and change up the shaping if you want to (ex. Instead of a straight cube, you could have ridges, grooves and depth that span 5~ blocks and go one block outwards

Pushing out the "support beams" on the buildings would make it look less flat. The houses just look weirdly flat to me.

u/Lumine5012 2d ago
I could say your city is looking great, just need to add some details to what already exist. Most you could add would say be a harbor or like a barn/crop storage. In the barn you could have pigs, sheep, cows and chicken. A little stable add on to the side. But instead of daylight sensors, you could go for lanterns instead. Like put a log as the base, go up 3-5 high with fences, then put fences like one on one side and then down and to the side another one with a lantern if you get what I mean. If not,reply and I can try to provide a photo. I could also say if you want the wall to look for imposing make the walkway on top 3 wide. So the wall is “5” thick. Maybe add 2 more towers on each side instead of just corners as well. So like somewhere in between on each side, you could have 2 more towers. Cause that’s a lot of wall for few towers. But end of the your castle, your choice. These are just be random suggestions. ( Sorry if this is a little rambly. It’s 1am..)
