Any Suggestions?

So I just started terraforming today on my own server and I think I'm doing ok.
I am doing it on a 450x450 plot so I have plenty of room and I was wondering if you guys had any ideas of things I could do to make it better.
I still have to add trees in some areas but ill probably do the trees when I'm done.
Here are some pics:

Thanks for your time.

 

Are you planning on making buildings? like a town or anything? Or just terraforming? If just terraforming keep it up! but tbh, the amount of diversity in the materials for the ground makes it look unrealistic.....

 

Like mini said above, the amount of different blocks used makes the terrain look unrealistic. Choose a smaller selection, and make sure that the blocks used generally blend. If they don't combine and go well together then it won't look good. However making it blend into one color makes it have no texture. Which means you have to have a contrast of color. So how do you have to go around those two things? The amount of times used for the blocks. Don't make the amount of each block equal. Make more of a block then another. So what you would want to do is have one block type that's bearly used and is placed here and there. Then another that's used slightly more, and more, and more. Doing this will add contrast and texture, but doesn't make the colors blend. Using an equal amount of blocks that's distributed evenly makes it look funky. Add variation to everything. Remeber, nature isn't perfect and everything has to be inconsistent and consistent at the same time. (Sounds weird but it'll make sense once you dive in more). Also, are those trees just grown right in? If you're making your own build with trees instead of using plain ones that you can grow in try making custom ones. This makes the build unique and shows more effort instead of just spawning then in to get it done. In terms of the terraforming itself it looks great! It looks pretty well. I hope you use these tips for the build. Good luck! That is definetly a great start.

 

same as mini and senor
if you change the grass with coarsed dirt you'll get somme sort of a wasteland (thats what my mind sees in it)

 

ok ill try it

 

Another thing I forgot to say is there needs to be some separation between your texture. Just the other day I was going for this swampy graveyard kind of a texture and I realized there needs to be a little bit of separation. For example, I needed grass blocks to separate my podzols and stone bricks, and my cobblestone, etc. Im not saying so that it needs to be divided into groups with grass blocks, but to kind of break everything apart there needs to be a main block that is used which I briefly touched up on. This really breaks everything up and makes it look more appealing. Just another thought that popped in my brain. Anyways, good luck again on the terraform!
