The first is the specific arrangement of blocks. Curves can only be implied, but horizontal and vertical straight lines are very easy. Leaving more space suggests roominess, which minimal space will look cramped or busy. | The first is the specific arrangement of blocks.

The second is the selection of blocks. Unless they're being removed regularly, there's little functional difference between most blocks, so the color and texture of the block used is more important. Exceptions include [[Fire|burnable]] blocks near a [[campfire]], [[glass]] (which can let in light), and the ability of [[compost]] and dirt to grow plants or [[tree]]s. Additionally, [[Reinforced Platform|reinforced platforms]] block the formation of back walls below them. | The second is the selection of blocks.

Others such as [[Shark Jaw|shark jaws]] are purely decorative. [[Chandelier]]s are both decorative and produce powerful light. The right arrangement of light sources (and thus shadows) can alter the appearance of most blocks. | ||
