Summary / Notes
Over the course of many months, I (Kadalyst) and AbdulFmMicrosoft have worked hard to renovate The Great Olivia Library by Aminto, with two goals in mind:
- Making it suitable for holding thousands of entries
- Making it visually appealing
…and quite honestly, I think we succeeded.
The general color scheme and theme may not be for everyone, but I’ve long since accepted that and decided I don’t care; Say what you will about the colors and theme, but we succeeded in upgrading it.
Changes
Below is a list of the changes we made to the map, divided between structural changes and cosmetic changes.
Structural
These changes affected the structure of the building itself
- Extended the depth of the cutouts in the North and South hallway
- Cut off the East/West wings, and replaced them with custom wings cobbled together from an upper level roof and some freehand designs.
- Gutted the (now extended) cutouts in the North hallway in favor of a single large cutout on each side
- Minor tweaks to the ceilings of cutouts and mid-level landings
Cosmetic
These changes affected the visual look of the building
- Swapped the majority of the stone and stone variants (cobbled, bricks, smooth) for their deepslate variants
- Swapped or removed all redstone lamps in favor of glass covered frog lights
- Removed the Bookshelves running down the middle of the North and South hallways and inside the cutouts
- Replaced the tree in the center with a statue (itself cobbled together from two other statues + a free-handed Shulker Box)
- Replaced all floors with custom designs utilizing concrete, concrete powder, terracotta, and deepslate tiles
- Replaced various styling and decor with fancier or nicer versions
Gardens
These changes affected the gardens and outdoor portions of the build
- Northern fountains given patterned flowerbeds surrounding them
- Southern flowerbeds replaced with custom trees
- Rectangular fountains re-colored and shifted to accommodate the structural changes to the East/West wings
- Hedge trims changed to Spruce and lighting to Sculk Catalyst
- Pathways reworked to accommodate the changes to the East/West wings while maintaining original style and layout
- General flower spam removed
- Custom trees added around East/West wings
- Border trees replaced with similarly uniform custom spruce trees
Credit
Aside from the obvious credit to Aminto for The Great Olivia Library, I also must credit:
- exsilit for their Tree Bundle
- Wet for their Tree/Rock/Bush Pack Both of which were used for the custom trees
Additionally,
- Good_O_Rusty for their Wizard Statues pack, which provided the head of the center statue
- thebigbaron for their Fantasy Collection which provided the body of the center statue
