2. Re-lay the Paths, Properly

Re-laid Minecraft village paths with stone borders and varied surfaces

Replace the random dirt tracks with paths that have an edge and a pattern. Lay a base of gravel or stone, add a border of slabs or bricks, and vary the surface with mossy cobble, sand or grass tufts so it does not look machine-made. A path should lead somewhere — to the well, the market or a garden gate — and a gentle curve always looks more natural than a dead straight line.
