Figuring out an underwater home in MINECRAFT
What started as a short trip into Minecraft to check out the Update Aquatic has turned into an underwater episode of Grand Designs where I (a great sea witch) am building a lair in a crevasse I found, and an imaginary Kevin McCloud is making concerned noises.
I’m at the point where I have a nook I’m happy with and which provides a mission statement for the rest of the area, but I haven’t expanded yet. The aesthetic centres on bluish glowing cubes, dead coral and sea pickles.

Sea pickles look like small green candles and you can arrange them in little groups of one to four on top of a block. I’m using them as a mood lighting solution, picking out parts of the nook which would otherwise be in shadow, but which a bluish beacon would ruin by being too harsh.
