Functional Timepieces, Aquariums & Accent Decor Guide

guide

Interactive home decor brings dynamic life into interior builds through audible grandfather clocks, metallic aquariums, working gramophones, and ornamental glass curiosities. Rather than relying entirely on static wooden blocks, [Let's Do] Furniture introduces mechanical and acoustic features that make survival bases feel inhabited and meticulously maintained.

Wall Clocks and Chiming Grandfather Clocks

Keeping track of daylight schedules is simplified through crafted wall clocks and monumental grandfather clocks. These timepieces display authentic clock faces and offer functional feedback to passing players.

Crafting domestic clocks:

Crafting 1 Acacia Clock requires 7 Stick, 1 Clock, and 1 Acacia Slab.
Upgrading into a floor-standing pendulum clock: combining 1 Acacia Clock with 2 Acacia Planks yields 1 Acacia Grandfather Clock.

Wall clocks mount neatly above fireplaces, desks, and kitchen arches. Interacting with or hovering over a wall clock reveals the current in-game time of day directly in its tooltip, making it easy to monitor underground mining shifts without stepping outdoors.

Grandfather clocks stand three blocks tall, showcasing ornate wooden cabinetry and a swinging pendulum window. Beyond telling time, grandfather clocks produce continuous ambient ticking sounds that echo softly through quiet hallways. At regular intervals, the clock mechanism triggers a resonant bell chime that announces the passage of hours across nearby rooms.

Metal Framed Aquariums

Aquatic exhibits and laboratory terrariums utilize reinforced metal fish tanks. These tanks feature clear glass walls supported by heavy metallic top and bottom rims, offering seamless viewing angles for swimming fish and vibrant coral specimens.

Crafting metallic fish tanks:

Assembling 1 Copper Fish Tank requires 6 Copper Ingot and 3 Glass.
Assembling 1 Iron Fish Tank requires 6 Iron Ingot and 3 Glass.

Copper tanks feature warm orange trim that complements rustic tavern bars, coastal piers, and brick laboratories. Iron tanks present dark gray metallic edges suited for modern mansions and industrial facilities. Tanks can be filled with water to house tropical fish, cod, or salmon, turning bare living room walls into lively aquatic centerpieces.

Gramophones and Sound Systems

Living rooms and dance halls can incorporate music playback through the gramophone. Featuring an antique brass horn attached to an ornate wooden base, the gramophone modernizes the utility of vanilla jukeboxes.

Crafting 1 Gramophone requires 4 Gold Ingot, 1 Jukebox, and 2 wooden slabs.

Inserting a music disc into the gramophone begins immediate audio playback. Unlike basic jukeboxes, the gramophone allows players to configure continuous background music. Right-clicking the unit enables toggling repeat mode between on and off, allowing favorite melodies to loop indefinitely during gatherings or building sessions.

Interior Accents, Mirrors, and Curios

To complete domestic spaces, a variety of small decorative furnishings provide visual variety:

Cash Register: Commercial shops, bank counters, and market stalls can install 2 Cash Register, crafted from 4 Copper Ingot and 2 Gold Ingot.
Boat in a Jar: Nautical studies and maritime museums can display 1 Boat in a Jar, created by sealing 1 wooden boat inside 1 Glass Bottle.
Wall Mirrors: Crafting 2 Acacia Mirror combines 7 Stick, 1 Tinted Glass, and 1 Acacia Slab. Mirrors hang on walls to simulate reflective dressing surfaces in bathrooms and walk-in closets.
Window Shutters: Flanking window openings with 4 Acacia Shutter, crafted from 6 Acacia Slab, adds architectural depth to exterior facades.
Fabric Curtains: Softening window edges utilizes fabric curtains. Combining 2 Stick with 4 Black Wool yields 4 Black Curtain, while 4 Blue Wool yields 4 Blue Curtain.
