    [1]: Your in-game name: Tychonyx
    [2]: The name of your structure: Zen Farm
    [3]: The story of your structure: One day I realized that the district I lived in did not yet have a public farm. A few other districts were growing things like wheat, carrots, and melons, but I realized that sugar cane was not being grown. I was then inspired by the structure of a glass atrium housing a unique koi pond and thought of making an all-glass sugar cane farm with a fountain and thus the zen farm was born.

    No offence, but I don't think this counts as a great construction. It's a nice little farm, sure, but great...?

    Yeah I meant it as just kind of something to throw out there. I'm working on gathering materials for an awesome construction now. I just kinda wanted to get my foot in the door with this thread.

    Looks good! Great work! :p maybe a little bit bigger, and some more materials, and it could be improved.

    It's very simple, that's all I am saying :( . Not worth of the title "Great" if you ask me, I hope your next structure will be impressive tough :)!

    Good luck!

    One question for anyone who wishes to answer: does a great construction have to be something like a massive tower or skyscraper or something like that or can it be a little more reasonable for normal people to make like say a well-designed house? Because no offense to the people who make those large towers and massive beautiful structures, but those are particularly unreasonable for people to make. In my own opinion (you may agree or disagree), a great construction is something that obviously takes a lot of thought into making. I have seen many houses that are well-built and the interiors are very thoughtful and make good use of the items avaliable in minecraft that are very impressive in my opinion but would probably not count as a great construction by the standards of the other structures in this forum. I'm not attempting to cause any massive disturbance but I think that it would be a lot more inclusive and obtainable if the standards for a "great construction" were a little more reasonable and followed more along the lines of "this building is original in its interior/exterior, there is something that is creative about it, it is obvious that you put effort into making something nice". If possible, i would love it if there were a separate set of guidelines for houses or things of a smaller nature such as "this is an original structure, it serves the practical purposes of a house in a creative fashion (such as a nice kitchen and basement, etc.), and has the main elements of a real house using the materials avaliable. (such as a bathroom/bedroom/etc.)"
    anyway, it is simply food for thought. feel free to say otherwise

    Nobody said it must be something massive, it's builder decision what he/she want to build. For me it's more like: hmm, I'll build something great just for fun and share it on great constructions thread so I can see others comments talking about what I could make better or what should I change. No matter if it will be a nice and cosy log cabin or huge skyscraper. Remember it's not a competition where you have to compare yourself do other players, it's only about having fun on server by building awesome stuff :)
