I'm working on a very steep canyon in my desert

plus some other recent builds towards the end, also i make youtube videos (still learning the process) on this world if you wanna check it out, here is the most recent one!!: https://youtu.be/WT6wtd07Xqo

I wanted to try and recreate the coastal saltwater marshes in South Carolina, and with the new(ish) bushes I was finally able to do so! First screenshot is with shaders, the rest are vanilla.

Unsure about uploading images that aren't from minecraft or OC, so links to inspiration for those who aren't familiar with the irl area below :)

Marsh Boardwalk

Marsh Boardwalk #2

Saltwater Marsh Overhead

I used a badlands biome near my base to create a "burned forest". This was built on the Astraea SMP. More details can be found here: https://youtu.be/gwcEngwvAs4

The Cow was inspired by a a cow I saw in a Jake Kelton Crafts video, but everything else is of my own design. This is all vanilla Minecraft, using a debug stick and invisible item frames. one thing I'm proud of is the penguin. You can't see it, but I placed a dragon head in an invisible item frame to act as the penguin's neck. Most of these are all to-scale (exceptions being turtle, snake, and perry the platypus)

What do you think?

Quest: Find Shrek

Everything can be done without mods, but I used Axiom to help me set up the display entities.
