SPOOKY BIOMES AND MATERIALS
Whatever you decide to build for your Minecraft Halloween project, it pays to take a little time to think about where you want to build it, and what materials you want to use to do it. We, personally, think swamp biomes are already a little bit spooky, and suited to dark and rainy conditions (see ‘Controlling the Weather’ section), we also like to use plenty of mossy stone, vines and other plants in our Halloween builds to make things look Gothic and abandoned – bringing the outside inside is the key there.
That’s just us, though. If you want to build a snowy nightmare for your friends, you go for it! Just take a little time to make sure your build fits in with its location; it all enhances the effect.
CONTROLLING THE WEATHER AND TIME OF DAY
Nothing sets a scary scene like a dark gloomy night, so why not create one for a Halloween world? Again, this can be done with a console command; so, to make. If you like, you can also add a duration for the rain in seconds – so would set up a very long period of rain even on Minecraft time! If you want to try out something more complicated, there are clever ways to set a world to permanently rain using observers, farmland and command blocks – but it’s not a simple process, and there’s an easier way explained below.
