17. Nether Brick and Basalt Fishery & Fish Ponds
Introduction
Farming isn’t just about crops and livestock; a dark gothic fishery featuring stone docks and bubbling fish ponds completes your homestead’s food supply.
What This Idea Means
This design creates a moody waterfront pier. Dark nether brick docks jut out over deep water ponds stocked with tropical fish and axolotls, lit by glowing underwater sea lanterns.
How to Make It
Build wooden docks using dark oak planks and fences over a natural or man-made pond. Construct a small fishing hut on the shore using nether bricks and cracked stone. Place sea lanterns beneath the water to create an eerie aquatic glow.
Tips and Variations
- Add item frames on dock posts holding fishing rods and raw cod.
- Build small crane mechanisms using chains and hopper blocks to lift catches from the water.
