The most important thread of the century... We need to decide what block aesthetic we're going to use.
It's worth noting the plot server will start at 1.17.x so any 1.17 blocks are fair game to use. I'm happy to mix and match suggestions, so partial answers are okay as well.
1 - The top layer
2 - The Walls outside your plot underground
3 - The "Filling" of your plot
4 - The road surface
5 - Plot Border (One block for claimed, one for un-claimed)
the current combo youre showing looks pretty fine to me actually. nothing's clashing on the colors, and you wouldnt have to change anything either
Is that deepslate thats currently on the road? Does this mean we can use 1.17 blocks?

I think it would be a breath of fresh air if we used more classic minecraft blocks. Implementing these fancy new 1.17 blocks look cool, but only makes our server look even more generic compared to the hundreds of other servers that are just like us. Considering that totalfreedom was made during the classic era of minecraft, i think it would be cool if we approached a redesign taking that into account
I'd suggest the good ole'
Plot top layer: Grass
Plot walls: Stone
Plot fill: Stone
Plotworld road: Bricks
Claimed border: Smooth stone slabs
Unclaimed border: Oak wood slabs Otherwise, if you'd like to use new blocks:
Plot top layer: Moss blocks
Plot walls: Deepslate
Plot fill: Deepslate
Plotworld road: Deepslate bricks
Claimed border: Deepslate tile slabs
Unclaimed border: Copper slabs Everything looks fine, I think that the walls could match the road with Deepslate,
1: keep the grass, what else are you gonna put, sponge?
2: ye keeps it smooth with 5 and no clashing with 3, stay with stone
3: normal vanilla landscape (grass then stone), no need to change it
4: i feel like the deepslate doesnt stand out enough, its kinda dull, honestly birch planks would be interesting to see, of not that then quartz/smooth quartz (if not those then some white/tan block to break up the colors)
5: yeye smooth with 2 and 3, keep the stone slab
If I am not mistaken, we can customize how the roads look by using our own custom schematic of the road, no? If that is not something too technically difficult to achieve, maybe that can add our own special flare to the plots.
For reference if anyone would like to suggest or make a pattern to contribute, the plots themselves will be 25 blocks squared (25x25). The width of roads should be configurable.
I wonder if the crossroads could have a "TF" on them. Would have to be fairly small to prevent the roads being too wide, but might be doable.

I think that would look terrible if every single crossroads had that
On this note ill be back home for a few days and I've been itching to do some building so I'll wip up some road designs
