Almost every Japanese-themed build in Minecraft includes a sakura tree. With the help of a variety of pink blocks available, players can create beautiful sakura trees. Some blocks suitable for building the leaves of a sakura tree are:

• Pink stained glass
• Pink stained glass panes
• Pink terracotta
• Pink wool
• Pink carpet

As for the wood, players can go with whatever Overworld wood they prefer. Darker wood logs from spruce and dark oak trees might look good with bright pink shades. Players can look at photos of real sakura trees to bring their creation as close to reality as possible.

When it comes to farms, many players do not do their best to improve its appearance. But that doesn't need to be the case. With a little planning and understanding of game mechanics, players can build around the farm without disrupting its work.

Players can follow Redditor u/aJackYoutube's path to come up with a beautiful design for an iron farm. The OP hid the iron farm by creating a building around it. They had to be careful of any spawning location. But ultimately, the design turned out pretty well and had a charming look rarely seen with farms.

5) A simple wooden house

Beauty lies in simplicity. Yes, the complex builds created with thousands of blocks are attractive and glaring to any player's eyes. Similarly, a simple wooden house can also be fairly appealing if appropriately constructed.

In Minecraft, all wood-type blocks have amazing textures that are fit for construction straight out of a tree. Players can build a simple and elegant wooden house using only various types of wood blocks like slabs, stairs, planks, and blocks with similar textures.

Wooden houses are usually recommended to beginners as wood is very cheap in Minecraft. It can be found and grown almost anywhere in the game.
