Deco Ideas: Caves & Caverns
A guide to the decorative aspect of caves.
If you're looking to create a cave or cave entrance without a lot of customization involved or for ideas on how to decorative your cave once you've customized it, this is for you.
Hunter Moon's
Want to make a hole/tunnel in the ground?
Here's a few tips on how to make one that looks like Hunter Moon's.
Using gozas or cloth obviously it will come out square, You can soften and round the edges with rocks.
You'll need a house decorating tool and an axe.
To stack the rocks easily so you can raise them to your desired location place a trash barrel in the spot you'd like the rocks.
You can place the barrel by saying 'I wish to place a trash barrel'
Use the axe to chop the barrel once you put the rocks inside.
If you're nervous that you may lose connection and the rocks will be deleted, you can use a wooden container and chop that with the axe instead.
Remember that chopping that container will destroy it, so don't use one you aren't willing to lose.
Another example of a solen hive style hole:
Vlad of Atlantic
Vlad also has a very unique idea, You can actually enter this hole. He's placed stairs beneath a part of it to enter his cave beneath.

Cave Entrances (Upright) - TommyGirl
Using stones and black dyed cloth or curtains you can make a standing cave entrance against a wall. A good space saver if you have a smaller home or don't want to invest a whole floor.
(Curtains come from heritage tokens)
Ice Caves
Faeryl
Snow piles were Holiday gifts from 2009.
Snow Tree is available from uogamecodes.
If you have vendors and cannot or don't want to put down snow tiles in customization..
Gozas made with white bod reward cloth, or the new carpet pieces dyed with white natural dyes will also work.
When dying the carpet pieces be away one charge can dye one stack as large as your pack is able to hold.. They do not need to be dyed seperately.
You can also use white dye to dye most furniture or decorative items.
Remember furniture needs to be made with any wood oak or higher, and cannot have been placed in your home previous to dying it if it is a deeded item.
I hope this has been helpful, I've really enjoyed making it.
