Five simple path designs

Tutorial Difficulty: 2/10

If there's one lesson I've learned from my many years mining and crafting, it's this: Never have a Creeper as a housemate. No, wait, that's not it. Always turn fire tick off? That's a good tip, but that's not it either! Oh, yeah, I remember: The devil's in the details. I've built many a house, and all of them can be as fancy-schmancy as you like on the outside and inside, but it don't mean nothing unless you've also made them detailed.

As they say, you can build a house out of solid diamond blocks, but that doesn't make it nice to look at. They do say that, don't they?

Sometimes those details are easy to overlook, like adding window sills, overhangs, and chimneys, but the most underappreciated detail of them all might just be the humble path. It's always there for you, supporting you on your journey and taking you where you need to go, but let me guess: you either just keep it as the plain grass texture, or best–case scenario you use your shovel to make that indented path texture, don't you?

Hey, no shame in that. If it's good enough for villagers, why not players, too? But I'm here to level up your skills, and today, it's all about paths.

The thing to remember with making your builds look organic and textured is to vary the blocks you use, and that works for paths, too. Zaypixel's five designs are very different from one another, and designed to work for different biomes, but the one thing they all have in common is that they look weathered and worn and lived-in, just like a path should.

There's the farmy path, which combines different woods, haybales, sunflowers, wheat, and bog-standard dirt, and a desert path which uses the nice orange acacia wood and sandstone walls to make it look like a ruined road.

If you're in or near a taiga biome (or you just like the look of it), you can use podzol, mossy cobblestone, berries, and spruce fences to make a path look like it was made for the taiga biome. As a bonus: those berries might attract foxes! Yay!

The most expensive path, though, is the one that uses stone, nether brick, redstone lamps, and – gasp – dark prismarine to create a dramatic and gorgeous Japanese-inspired ancient walkway. This one goes above and beyond, with fancy lamps and an archway, as well as the neat trick of putting string on top of bamboo to keep it at the height you want.

Whichever path is the path for you, they'll all take you in the right direction.
