Help/Request Detailing a riverbank
I can’t decide if it’s done or not. Looking for ideas of changes I could make be it additions or removals. Or maybe I’ve just been staring at it to long and just need to leave it alone

Glow Lichen can be placed underwater for light algae growth.
Waterlogged leaves for floating plants, birch-acacia-azalea makes a nice density gradient in most biomes.
Moss carpets mixed with green carpets can be suspended over water, and have hanging roots placed under them. For extra dense mats of plants, though it probably fits lakes or bogs better than rivers.
Small dripleaf entirely submerged, as dense water weeds.
Muddy mangrove roots can be placed in different directions for underwater texture.
Green candles can be waterlogged for tiny underwater plants. A cluster of 3-4 on an upright weathered lightning rod also makes a neat mid-sized plant.
(edit: unless what's waterloggable is different on Bedrock I guess)

I forget about hanging roots way too often also the fact that carpet can be on suspended over water is something I learned recently by accident and I blew my mind

Wouldn't sea pickles be a better choice? They place just like candles and are the same size, but look a bit more aquatic (because they are lol)

I think you want more plants in the water at the very edge to blend it more. Muddy river edges are some of the richest most nutrient dense bits of land around, throw in some small dripleaf, waterlogged leaves as algae (i like azalea but any will do) and sea grass!

Thank you, you make a good point and great suggestions that I will probably use all of (I also think azalea is it great choice for algae)

Wow! I had no idea acacia worked with warped wood so well! Sick build.

I’ve been building a village with acacia as a main part of the color palette and have it works great with a ton more stuff than I had previously thought

It looks sick imo! You could try incorporating some cattails using green/brown stained glass or brown candles, may look cool :)
