Hello,

this is another windmill I built for Wellandel Studios.
The special part about this one is that it has 6 sails. Most windmills in minecraft have 4 because its practical to build (3 would be hard again).
Until now I have only seen one other windmill with 6 sails (this one).
The sail design is similar to the smaller windmill I built (here) because I really like it.
So if I am not mistaken this is the first windmill with this particular 6 sail design and the second six winged windmill overall.
Feel free to post me links to other minecraft windmills with 6 sails in the comments!

Enjoy!

Captain_JEK, you have a superb sense of geometry - the sorta bulb-shaped stone foundation and pylons (not sure how to describe it) look fantastic, and sturdy. I also love the added detail of the milled flour represented by the concrete powder!

Thank you xD
Yeah, I wanted the base to be strong so the windmill wouldn't topple over.
The wings are essentially like giant sails attached to a long lever (the tower) and I didn't imagine the tower to go underground to counter the torque applied by the wind, so the tower needed to have an extremely low center of gravity to stay upright and not lean.

I think the yellow concrete powder was supposed to be unmilled grain, that's why it's above the hopper that feeds into the grinding stones. The milled flour would come out of the small hopper with a lever above it, near one of the entrances. I tried to make it far enough above the ground so a carriage or trailer could fit under it for loading.
