4. Obsidian and Iron-Bar Village Jail and Guard Tower
Introduction and What This Idea Means
Keeping your villagers safe from zombie raids requires a formidable defense structure. An obsidian and deepslate guard tower integrated with iron-barred prison cells provides security with a menacing Gothic aesthetic.
How to Make It
Build a cylindrical or square multi-story tower using polished deepslate and obsidian corner pillars. On the ground floor, construct holding cells using iron bars and dark oak doors. Add an open-air lookout platform at the top equipped with a bell.
Tips
Place villagers or Iron Golems on the top watchtower platform so they can oversee the entire village perimeter.
Variations and Essentials
- Variations: Use smooth basalt vertical pillars for a fluted architectural column effect along the tower walls.
- Essentials: Obsidian, polished deepslate, iron bars, village bell, dark oak doors.
