Window Treatments, Utility Tools & Parapet Accents
Customizing fenestration in Macaw's Windows involves utility tools like the Window Hammer, alongside operable shutters, pull-down blinds, fabric curtains, and exterior parapets. While installing window blocks establishes the core glass aperture, adding functional window treatments and perimeter trims brings authentic residential charm and architectural completeness to survival builds.
The Window Hammer Utility Tool
The 
Window Hammer serves as the primary configuration tool for adjusting installed window geometries. Rather than repeatedly breaking and replacing glass blocks to achieve desired corner connections, builders can adjust windows in place using this specialized tool.
- Crafting 1 Window Hammer requires 1
Iron Ingot, 2 
Stick, and 1 
Iron Nugget.
Holding the Window Hammer and right-clicking on any placed window cycles through its available connection states, including full frames, horizontal borders, vertical dividing mullions, and borderless center panes. This mechanic allows precise control over multi-block window assemblies, ensuring that large panoramic displays or arched bay windows connect with clean, intentional lines.
Operable Shutters and Wooden Blinds
Exterior facade depth and privacy control can be achieved by flanking window frames with operable wooden shutters and horizontal blinds:
- Standard shutters: Crafting 3
Acacia Shutter uses 3 
Acacia Trapdoor. Standard shutters display solid wooden paneling that swings outward against exterior walls. - Louvered shutters: Crafting 3
Acacia Louvered Shutter uses 3 
Acacia Slab. Louvered shutters feature angled slats that allow air ventilation while deflecting harsh direct sunlight. - Operable blinds: Crafting 3
Acacia Blinds combines 3 Acacia Slab with 6 Stick.
Blinds hang directly within window recesses, covering the interior glass surface. Right-clicking installed blinds toggles them open or closed with realistic mechanical sound effects. When closed, blinds obscure line of sight, preventing exterior onlookers from seeing into private bedrooms or vault chambers.
Fabric Curtains and Curtain Rods
Softening interior window edges utilizes draped fabric curtains hung from wooden or metallic rods. Curtains are available across sixteen dyed color variants, including the 
White Curtain, 
Black Curtain, 
Blue Curtain, and 
Red Curtain.
Hanging curtains requires mounting sturdy rods directly above window apertures:
- Log curtain rods: Combining 2 Stick with 1
Acacia Log crafts 5 
Acacia Curtain Rod. - Metal rods: Modern and industrial builds can install the
Metal Curtain Rod or the 
Golden Curtain Rod.
Curtain rods connect smoothly across adjacent wall blocks. Hanging curtains beneath them creates flowing, elegant window dressings suited for formal dining halls, royal throne rooms, and cozy master bedrooms.
Exterior Wall Parapets and Roof Crests
Completing exterior wall construction requires finishing the transition between vertical masonry and upper rooflines. Parapets act as low protective wall trims that border balconies, walkways, and flat rooftop terraces.
Crafting perimeter parapets follows accessible timber recipes:
- Log parapets: Combining 5 Stick with 1 Acacia Log produces 5
Acacia Parapet. - Plank parapets: Combining 5 Stick with 1
Acacia Planks produces 5 
Acacia Planks Parapet. - Stone parapet options: Masonry builds can utilize heavy stone parapets crafted from Andesite, Diorite, Granite, Blackstone, Prismarine, and Dark Prismarine.
Parapets create clean crenelated silhouettes along upper roof edges, preventing players from accidentally tumbling off high balconies while giving battlements and castle terraces a polished, defensive profile.
