While these shots are in creative, I've already built the island, trunk and branches in survival on the ROG SMP. Lots and lots of grinding. Like, a week's worth, at least, and around 15 hours of build time, all done solo. Still need to place all of the leaves, but I've already gathered all the mats!
Why did I design this massive tree and island, you ask? Why, to hide my industrial area which currently includes: guardian farm, super smelter, cactus farm, and guardian farm's afk spot (which is also a tree farm), of course! That's the sane thing to do, right?!
Island: cyan terracotta, stone, moss, grass, tuff, mycelium, cobblestone, dirt, sea lanterns, moss carpet, and glow lichen
Bark: acacia wood, basalt, sea lanterns, gray carpet, and glow lichen
Leaves: green stained glass & panes, lime stained glass & panes, yellow stained glass & panes, azalea leaves, oak leaves, moss and soooooo many sea lanterns.
Shaders: ComplimentaryReimagined
Below is where it's at in survival. So hard to get ALL of it in a screenshot and looks a bit odd due to the lower view and FOV. It's 100% spawn proof to keep the guardian farm rates from falling.
Almost 300,000 blocks total when done (not including the farms themselves), and goes from sea level to build height.

i was looking back at some of my old minecraft paintings and the way i've painted trees has evolved a bit over the years! here are some style tests:
choppy and smooth i haven't really used before in previous works
fluffy was how i first started out drawing trees (see here and here)
fluffy somehow evolved into shaggy, which is unfortunately best seen in paintings i never finished like this one, but you can kinda start to see it manifest here lol.
what's your favourite style?? i actually like fluffy a lot! i'm thinking of switching back to it, or doing something in between shaggy and fluffy...

this is how i designed my custom bald cypress trees!!
I grew up seeing these trees all over the place, so making them in Minecraft was very happy for me. They're some of my favorite trees and are great for many Southern-US ecosystems (both wet and dry)!
other screenshots and the video these were made for below cut
the knees were my favorite part to do

Someone should've told me that "isn't sad the slightest bit a day after extremely traumatizing event but will cry for hours if a rat dies in a movie" was a thing. My trauma doesn't matter to me. Having to cut a single tree in Minecraft to progress through the game though? STUDIDUEIKXUDEKED EIKED
