Now I just gotta do the sides and the inside as well as fix up the terrain around it. I also might add glowstone to illuminate the windows.

I like the aesthetic, with a Norman style keep and the gatehouse on the curtain wall.

Have you considered digging a moat around the outside of the curtain wall? You could flood it too, but most actual medieval moats were dry. Their main function is to make the walls harder to ladder over and to stop siege towers from reaching the walls.

Looks nice. I wonder, instead of glowstone, which is IMO a bit ugly. Do end rods on either ends of the inside window frames look good?

You are correct that they don't look good but I wanted blocks that are easily farmable. You would not notice them anyway because I take screenshots from far away. I might try lanterns but making end rods is slightly expensive and in my opinion it looks a bit modern. But thanks for the advice! :) I will consider other stuff like maybe shroom lights or frog lights instead. Might have to make a frog light farm. Plus, there are dark oak fences so that kind of obscures the blocks. Good idea though. I will try out different things.

Are blazes and chorus fruit that much more difficult to farm than witches?

I forgot about shroom and frog lights. I haven't played in a while. Hiding lights behind banners is a good trick to hide them when they don't fit the esthetic.

The rods might hide nicely behind the fence, but since you're on survival it'd be quite the task to get enough.
