@j814wong In minecraft, battlements are not effective as you'd need an army to use it to it potential. His wall onto of a 5 block high wall would be fine.

This seems ery effective. I can't wait to implement it! :D

I made mine with cactus blocks, you can't hide behind them too well but they keep everything out

@DeadlyRoadStrip Hence the water springs he had on the outside of the wall ;D

Not to downplay anyone but anyone who has studied medieval times, castles, GReat Wall of China, etc should know very well about battlements which allow protection, view, and loopholes to shoot through. When I first thought of design for protection and efficieny, battlements came to mind. Learn from history.
