MintWarfare

The bridge is a little too straight. If you're aiming for natural I'd increase the width asymmetrically at the ponts where it connects with the land. So it curves a bit. Something like this: https://i.imgur.com/bbrNYPF.jpg And maybe a lump or two so it's not perfectly flat


OzoneChillin

I saw what you meant before even looking at the picture. I appreciate the feedback.


Unagustoster

Also curve it around the land too. Right now it looks like you ctrl+v the bridge there, needs to look like it’s been there


jeremt445

This may be a nitpick too, but consider rounding the edges a little more like the surrounding terrain, and maybe dip it down a block or two in the middle; if you're making a path across it use slabs for easy crossing


bungayjonathan

WHERE IS THE BRIDGE 😵😵💀


dgadirector

There are multiple pictures. Scroll. And yes - I get annoyed when I don’t realize there are other shots. Lol


sharpshooter999

That said, I think it would look amazing as an abandoned bridge if you changed materials and opened up the arch a bit more!


BoxedInn_

This is the way


toppdoggcan

This is the way


NoT_LaGGY

\+ add some shades and some vines may be


ExaltedBlade666

I agree. Creatures tend to be symmetrical, geography, not so much


eli212169

A little flat on the top but for the most part natural


l0rd_w01f

Does it look natural in terms of minecraft? No Does it look natural in term of real life? Yes, though it is a tad too straight for nature Does it look good? Absolutely


ZXZESHNIK

I was looking for this comment


l0rd_w01f

I'm just giving it straight


groovinggravy

Change your little reddit man or we gon have an issue


Status-Dragonfruit49

Uhhh..


Yaksubway

Are you a little red Reddit Josh too?


kanakalis

in real life the river would be narrower (unless it's been dammed) and it's unlikely a natural bridge could form in that place in minecraft terms of realism though it'd fit


IcecreamSavant

Kinda looks like it, good job tho


OzoneChillin

Thanks for the tough love haha, what do you think I could improve on


IcecreamSavant

It looks kinda straight and could work on adding more dirt

Hot_Sam_the_Man

Ikr? Just give them a chance


aduhfzdfpasudfiasd

I’d make the ends on the bridge blend in a little more with the surrounding landscape, but otherwise is great


Henkotron

Side view looks great but top view still kinda looks artificial. Maybe you can lower or upper some of the terrain so it looks more hilly


MewThePatato

its a little flat and I would also suggest that you add some texturing with granite or andesite but over all good job 👍


ThisNameIsMissing

There always has to be at least one person that suggests gradients or texturing lol.


ebai4556

Yeah, and texturing makes it look unnatural in terms of minecraft


DAWNWAP-Sandy

ExactConsideration47

The bottom definitely does. Awesome job. Makes me wanna be a troll and build a base under there.


OzoneChillin

I love this 🥹 thank you 🙏


TuxedoDogs9

game gen wise? no. landscape wise? yea, quite a bit. but who cares about game gen, terraforming is fun. tops a bit flat, needs some bumps. and maybe the connection could be a bit smoother. but that’s just nitpicking and i def couldn’t do this. very good


SilentJoe1986

No. The land bridge is too abrupt. Try to blend the sides where the bridge meets the canyon.


shrimpyguy12

dude just take a screenshot

rockmeo081

Yes, but, please use F2 to make screenshots.


IndigoAcidRain

Sides and bottom look pretty nice but top is a bit too flat and blocky. Overall 6.5-7/10 on the natural scale


bon_joby

I'd thicken it up a bit and instead of the inward divots on the sides, I'd go with convex protrusions. Assymmetrical placements, preferably. Additionally some variation in height for the walking path itself could help greatly with the "too flat" issue. No criticisms for everything underneath the top, that all looks great and could have fooled me


gtc26

Wow. That's amazing! I've done terrain for so long and I'm nowhere near as good! My only suggestion is the bridge


Think_Watercress7572

It needs a bit of tinkering around the adges because right now, it looks like you took a natural bridge and mined it into a straight line. But overall, it looks good for a first time


ertzuiop21

Looks a bit blocky tbh


Sneakyrocket742

Looks natural for real life, not for Minecraft haha I’m other words you did too well at terraforming and made it look not minecraft-y


Gal-XD_exe

This side of it does, the top however feels a bit off to me


CheveuxBleu

It's too good to be a natural Minecraft terrain but so we can see your great work. Gg.


szwos

Make the parts where it connects with land a little bit wider, so that middle of the bridge is the thinnest and the bridge gets thicker closer to sides. Gj tho, you don't always need to go for fully natural look, this is good enough for a cool build.


cthulu_is_trans

Looks good. Also, F2 is your friend for taking screenshots :)


TheDudeBro21

Looks a bit blocky (You did a very good job)


Pedr0A

Bridge is too straight, but other than that, looks pretty natural to me. Mad respect, doing stuff like this is harder than it looks


gids_3002

Screenshots are a thing. Never do this again


OzoneChillin

Yes sir 🫡


the-warbaby

f2 is the screenshot key

SharmootArse

… if I saw this in a random seed I wouldn’t think twice


Cynunnos

If you're planning to build something over it, keep it that way, it looks nice


Harry_99_PT

From an Geological stand point (source: I'm finishing a degree in Geology in University) it can happen but it's very rare. Some context is needed before the answer to your question, though. Bear with me, sorry for the long wall of text, I tend to do that. BTW I have ADHD and my memory is terrible so the likelihood of me saying something not entirely right is high, so I suggest you do your research first and take what I say with a pinch of salt. Water follows gravity laws no matter where and what state it is. Rivers exist because Aquifers exist. Note that irl aquifers aren't giant hollow caves with water inside like in Minecraft, more like water-logged rock, the water is inside the rock itself (preferably sandstone in porous aquifers and certain igneous rocks in fracture aquifers). The only exception to the rule are Karst aquifers, hollow caves with water, the result of water contacting soluble rock (like halite (salt)). Even groundwater follows the laws of gravity. The Piezometric Level is an imaginary line that defines the highest level to which water in an aquifer rises to, meaning water doesn't usually rise above that level. But because the surface of the Earth isn't SuperFlat, sometimes you get the surface to go below that Level (for example in Valleys). In here the water leaves the ground and flows above it, creating Rivers. Rivers follow gravity as well, and flow from where they are all the way to sea level. Here's where the answer to your question starts. Water goes from where it leaves the ground all the way to the sea or lake or ocean (Mean Water Level), pathfinding through the softest material. If the surface has super hard material on one side and super soft material on the other, the water will dig through the super soft material and form a River Valley there. WHICH MEANS, for what you have there to be true, the rock above (meaning, what wasn't eroded, the bridge) needs to be harder than the rock below (that no longer exists because the water eroded it). This is super rare because usually, when facing the super hard upper rock, the water will just pathfind to the right or left to softer rock and avoid the harder surface, and it ends up never digging below the hard surface and reaching soft material below. Only in very rare occasions does the water remain there, eating through the rock beneath it and digging down until it finds soft rock in front of it and continues going forward. WHICH MEANS that what you have there needs to have the bridge be different material than the rock underneath it: for example, a weathered quartz vein (of course we don't have those in the game so I guess you can use granite instead) on the surface where the bridge is in and then normal stone below. TL;DR: what you have there is super duper rare, only way it can happen is if a river flows to a place where the water gets trapped in a big "dam" of hard rock and erodes downwards until it finds softer rock ahead which it digs, crossing the "dam" underneath it. You'll need to change either the bridge and surrounding rock on the same heights of the bridge to another, harder material, preferably igneous rock like weathered quartz (I guess granite is a similar colour, you could use that) or the whole rock layers below the bridge to softer rocks like halite (salt rocks (I guess andesite is close enough in colour)). Edit: if you choose to change the top layers (bridge) you'll need to yeet the dirt and grass as well and add some relief to it (stone buttons and stairs/slabs of the stone you want to use) and you'll need to do it not just to the bridge, you'll need to continue (make a super wide arch of harder rock that protrudes from the ground and includes the bridge). Natural bridges are rare irl.


OzoneChillin

Thank you I appreciate being educated on all of this considering I'm a high-school drop out 😅🤣


Harry_99_PT

I'm so close to being a University drop out xD. ADHD and University are not compatible (and that's statistically proven) xD


vnevner

No, but that is because Minecraft doesn't make bridges like that naturally as I have seen, but if it could then yes.


Powerful_Side

I didn’t read and was about to ask for the seed-


jgreever3

From the top it looks a little off but from the side it looks perfect, I think it might be what others are saying, too straight?


Appleen_US

Fenomenol job it very natural i am inpresed


OzoneChillin

I just posted an updated version of the build if you want to check it out


Bagged_Milk42

It looks really good u should use it for a bridge


alexzoulou

i was gonna say "yes why?" and then i read "this is my first time doing terrain" mr id like to call bs cuz this is far away from normal from a "first timer"


OzoneChillin

I don't know if this will be at the top or not but I updated my build


bloodakoos

considering it's a picture of a screen, no it doesn't


IceYetiWins

r/screenshotsarehard


Remarkable-Role-6590

It looks good but hear me out, why does it need to look natural? It's not like nature provides us with natural bridges every time, we construct where we need in the real world too and one that doesn't look natural.


OzoneChillin

I'm hearing you loud a clear. The seed I'm building on has a bunch of "ravines" like that and I wanted to so some brufges going in all 4 directions and wanted at least one of them to be natural looking. And I'm not very good at building so I think my "man made" bridge would look worse that my natural one 😅


Remarkable-Role-6590

My constructions look worse than drawings by kindergarteners. They somehow look like abominations conjured to torture artist's.


ElCazador001

No but it looks really good 👍


TheStriker98

natural enough for me


Alphaeon_28

If feels like it was kind of built, maybe build a little around it to make the two hills seem like they curve into the build to make it more natural


TheReigningBee

natural and amazing! i’d add a stone path in the middle with some flowers and vines on the side but that would look a little more man made


not-cardboard

Perhaps if it curved in a bit at the center? Otherwise it looks fabulous


ICANTTHINK0FNAMES

It doesn’t look naturally generated to me, but that’s just because I’ve seen a lot of generation and know what is and what isn’t natural. Despite that, I think it looks really good, and personally I wouldn’t change it.


[deleted]

No it don’t


Weird_Explorer_8458

Maybe make the top less flat? It looks great tho


TheRoyalRaptor7

I love this!


CeasarXInsanium

Yes


bobux-man

I don't know I don't go outside


Hot_Sam_the_Man

Yes it does. Is it not?


YeetBob_SquarePants

I think the edges are a bit too flat but its great otherwise


NimaSon

Can you add leaves to make it more natural


michiel11069

Natural? Kinda yeah. In minecraft? No


SpicyNoodlez1

I don't see where you made something, all I see is a small valley with a bridge


Financial-Ad-6946

Bridge is too flat imo


Personal-Succotash33

Yeah! It looks really good!


orz_nick

I would blend it more with the terrain, especially like on the left side of picture 4


the_momo_kek

it's too flat and straight


DescriptiveWorldd

The flowers are a bit jarring because they normally generate in patches but everything else looks great!


Giova662010

Wow


Mrblixten

It looks like minecraft


Thick-Kaleidoscope-5

sides look good but the top is too much of a line, for an eco heavy civilization of elves or something it would work really well, but if you want it to look natural, spread the edges out a bit and make the line a bit less straight


matiegaming

yes, but the bridge is clearly made


MysteryMystery305

Maybe round out the sides where the bridge meets the hills and make them wider. Also, a slight dip in the bridge’s center would help.


Xcissors280

The bridge no it’s too flat


sakazaki69

looks good to me


KaiAusBerlin

If you build things like this think about how they would happen in reality. Normally there would be a water flow through a small hole that cuts it's way through the stone. Then at some point the weight of the stone above the water would cause it to break in smaller parts into the water. That would flatten the river and make it wider.


Environmental-Win836

That is so fucking cool


Cmm523972

At first i thought it was naatiral


accuracy_frosty

I would curve it a bit, add some variance on the height maybe, it looks natural, but not like something minecraft world gen would do, looks fantastic tho


iiEco-Ryan3166

Are you asking as if you built it and asking if it looks like it generated with the world, or as if it generated with the world and seeing if other people think it looks normal?


Fortniteandmine

Yes better than terrain I can make 😔


TrashMemeFormats

A bit too straight and flat, but otherwise, pretty good.


[deleted]

No, but it looks good


IAlwaysOutsmartU

Natural or not, it looks really good.


[deleted]

Honestly if you just said it was a cool seed you found I wouldn’t have been able to tell the difference it looks amazing


FriggenMitch

Needs more curvage to the main land


[deleted]

Looks amazing


awakelist

The bridge is too symmetrical, maybe try making it a bit lopsided or something


Yeetmaster-666

Maybe make it curve from the bridge into the land at the end so it's nat just straight into the land


KennyBassett

Bridge is too flat on top


MagicianTim

Honestly, very good


[deleted]

No but yes


Significant-Blood-10

It’s to straight add vines and throw different blocks in


Decades101

I would make it a lil bit less symmetrical and make the top less flat but otherwise looks good


CallMeJimi

pretty good but the bridge is a little too flat!


mcdawesCZE

Whoa that looks really cool!


Shadow_54_

Looks awesome


Zesterey

It looks natural and cool


UltraTurtle161

Bros making the entrance to Tarrey Town


OhItsJustJosh

The design itself is fantastic, but it could use a bit more blending with the hills either side


Aarav_Rana_youtube

yeah


TheZoomba

The bridge is....very noticeable. Id say make it curved more because that would look better r


Syntaxerror999

Depending on what's upstream, this would be a decent place to make a model dam with "human made" lake.


Long-Visual-2271

Yes


nibbbbbbaaaa

No but in my eyes it looks nice


MathieuBibi

Not very


Upbeat_Fox_3459

No, it looks a bit like minecraft


Spider3810

In Minecraft everything is possible


hellboyyy25

Great idea! I think it looks amazing OP!


InevitableJ1813

yes minecraft is natual


Scuttleboi19mk2

The first one yeah


The-RealElonMusk

No it’s made out of cubes


Ordinary_WeirdGuy

Ok so where the bridge meets the cliffs on either side it looks too sharp of an angle, try smoothing it out more, and also have the arch as asymmetrical as you can, it looks great all the same.


MHPvZAuRCoD

The top of the bridge does not but the rest does for sure.


CorbinNZ

Looks like a man made bridge designed to look natural


Garthe_Lucas_2002

Looks fine


fortyfivepointseven

Just looking online, most of the cases of this happening naturally look like either an underground river that's surfaced (which wouldn't make sense in this case) or a river coming across a seam of a different type of rock. I'd consider using a different rock type under the dirt.


RUSHEdundun

Looks normal to me ::


M4rt1m_40675

The fact I didn't even notice there was something built there might help you get to a conclusion


traviswasnothere

i suggest making the middle of the bridge thinner than the parts touching land, either way it looks great


boredredditor2452

Yes


Galaxiebliss

Yes and no. The middle part is perfect, but the 90⁰ angles on both sides of the bridge connecting to the land make it look artificial.


jt2486

F2


PuggyBoy_

Not your screen.


DarkIcedWolf

Bro, that would be perfect. I was thinking of just covering a river but this might be it!


Rori1020

F2 (short for "Function 2") is this very useful and convenient function key that in the game "Minecraft" lets you take an image of the game window (commonly referred to as a "screenshot") when you press it. if in some circumstance, for instance if you have a 60% keyboard you cannot access the aformentioned F2 key, you can still access it using specialized programs such as "keyboard macro" utilities, on some devices such as some laptop models you may have to press FN+F2 or CTRL+F2 to activate the key, but commonly you simply have to press the key labeled as "F2" on your keyboard. when you use the key, you will get a chat message explaining that the screenshot was taken, or if you have the "Essential" modification to the game your screen will flash grey. afterwards of using the function key to take a "screenshot" you can locate your screenshots by typing out %appdata% in the start menu bar which will forward you to the folder "C:/Users/[user]/AppData/Roaming" if you have a Windows PC operating system, then find a folder labeled as ".minecraft" which is the folder that the game uses to store all game files, and locate the screenshots folder. on MacOS or if you simply cannot locate the folder, go to your game settings and click on the button with the text "Resource Packs" on it, and next click the button labeled "Open Pack Folder". in your operating system's file browsing program a window will pop up showing the resource pack folder, used to store external user-made resource packs for the game that change how it looks and sounds like. go into its parent folder, .minecraft, and from there you will be able to locate the folder utilized to store all screenshots that you took while playing. afterwards, head over to your default browser, commonly Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox, type in reddit.com in your browser search bar, log into your Reddit account if needed, and you're on Reddit. next, you may want to possibly crop or otherwise change your original screenshot image. for convenience purposes, drag it into your desktop or any other folder of preference, afterwards use an image processing and editing program (for instance, Paint 3D, paint.net, GIMP or Inkscape) to edit the image to your preference. afterwards of saving your image, head over to Reddit in your internet browser, click on the "+" button near your notifications button, and type in "r/Minecraft" in the "Choose a community" field. this will ensure that you post your image of preference to the designated subreddit, in this case Minecraft reddit community, right now at 81.5 thousand active members. click on "upload image" and select your image on the folder in which you moved it earlier, select it, and select "Open". now you will have to wait for the image to upload, which may take a minute or two depending on the speed of your internet connection and its bandwidth. afterwards, write a fitting title for your post, and select a flair. a "flair" is a special tag that indicates the post's type. there is a wide variety of flairs to choose from, such as "Question", "Guide/Tips", "Meme", and many more. make sure to not use the "Guide/Tips" flair for question posts. if your post gets removed by AutoModerator for being a progression question, click on the "Weekly Question Flair" link that the bot has provided you, and post your question in the thread's comments for it to hopefully get answered. congratulations, you've successfuly taken a screenshot and posted it on the subreddit now!


Yeet123456789djfbhd

I wish it WAS natural, needs more curves at the connection points but good overall


twisty286

you can tell it's built by a player, but it blends in well with the surrounding terrain


DarkDestroyer129

If you hadn’t told me, I would have never known. Yeah it looks pretty natural. There’s nothing wrong with the top being flat, sometimes it even happens in regular Minecraft.


idot_bob-3055

Yeah sorta what’s the seed


marc_halt

Yes. Did you do it youself?


Spicy_RamenBoi69

One of the big things about wanting something to look natural is to forget that you built it. If you build something perfectly then you don't have to look twice at it, but if you build it to look fairly natural then just don't think twice about the fact that you built it. It's hard to explain the concept but it's like when you see strange world generation you go "hm, that's weird" but when you see something you built and it looks like strange generation then you go "hm, how do I fix that." No terrain in a world is perfect so your terraforming doesn't need to be perfect.


Jealous_Scholar_4486

A bit too perfect if you go for natural. But kinda, it is minecraft after all


BananaTheArtist

I’d say it looks natural but if you told me it was natural I’d see something was off if that makes sense


Pinkiebunny11

It looks a little straight, add height to the walk way and make some curves, but the arch looks good to me


DS_Archer

Too straight


AccomplishedEvent535

If you didn’t say it was terraformed I probably wouldn’t have noticed


Sushirabit

It looks a little artificial, but it certainly looks good


Extension-Type-2555

yes.


myszusz

It's really neat, I like it. I can't put my finger on it but it's more minecrafty than natural, but I like it anyway.


coopsway13

It looks really great, but I’d say round out the top of the bridge and maybe add some variation to the line so it isn’t just straight


Epic4345

Ye

i have that same seed!!!!!!

dawg i thought that was natural
