Installing Rain Gutters Downspouts and Awnings in Macaw
Base Rain Gutter hardware and decorative awnings provide functional water drainage details and colorful storefront overhangs in Macaw's Roofs. These fixtures transform flat building edges into realistic architectural facades.
Fabricating Rain Gutters and Downspouts
The drainage system begins with basic metallic forging using standard iron nuggets:
- Place three
Iron Nugget items in a V-shape (two in the top corners, one in the center bottom) on a crafting table to produce one Base Rain Gutter. - Combining three Base Rain Gutter pieces in a crafting grid yields one finished
Rain Gutter horizontal channel. - Placing three Base Rain Gutter pieces in an alternative arrangement yields one vertical
Rain Gutter Downspout.
Horizontal gutters attach directly beneath roof edges to channel rainwater away from walls, while vertical downspouts direct drainage safely to ground level.
Dyeing Gutters Across Sixteen Colors
To harmonize drainage hardware with different wall claddings and painted trims, gutters support complete coloration across sixteen dye colors:
- Surrounding one dye item with eight Rain Gutter pieces on a crafting table yields eight dyed gutters, such as
Red Rain Gutter, 
Blue Rain Gutter, 
Black Rain Gutter, or 
White Rain Gutter. - Similarly, placing eight Rain Gutter Downspout pieces around one dye item produces eight dyed downspouts, such as
Red Rain Gutter Downspout, 
Green Rain Gutter Downspout, or 
Yellow Rain Gutter Downspout.
Matching the gutter tint to wall trim or roof color creates unified architectural palettes across suburban towns and historic villages.
Assembling Striped Fabric Awnings
For commercial facades, market stalls, and kitchen windows, the mod provides vibrant fabric awnings that shade outdoor areas from rain and sunlight:
- Place two colored carpet items alongside one
White Carpet in the crafting grid. - For example, combining two red carpets with one white carpet yields one
Red Striped Awning. - Using black carpet yields one
Black Striped Awning, while blue carpet yields one 
Blue Striped Awning. - Every dye color produces a corresponding striped pattern featuring alternating white and colored panels.
Awnings can be placed in continuous horizontal bands over storefronts, creating charming covered pedestrian walkways.
Combining Eaves and Drainage Channels
Realistic building design integrates sloped lower roof sections with drainage piping:
- Install lower base roof blocks along exterior walls to form protruding eaves.
- Snap Rain Gutter channels directly along the outermost bottom edge of the sloped eaves.
- Connect horizontal runs to Rain Gutter Downspout piping at building corners, running the pipe down to the foundation.
This combination prevents builds from appearing boxy while adding authentic structural depth to residential exteriors.
