small details that make a minecraft base feel lived in?

- a campfire under a hay bale for the chimney, the smoke goes up much taller - barrels and composters scattered round the farm area - banners over the doors - one half-finished thing, scaffolding on a wall or a pile of logs, so it looks like someone is still working on it

a few i always end up adding: - trapdoors on the walls next to windows as shutters - flower pots and a couple of potted saplings on window ledges - item frames with tools in them over a workbench area - carpet patches instead of full rugs, looks more worn - lanterns hanging on chains instead of torches everywhere - mixing path blocks, coarse dirt and gravel on the walkway to the door so it looks walked on - a messy corner. barrels, a composter, some hay. bases look fake when everything is tidy and leave a small farm plot half harvested, it does a lot.
