To make it look good you can extend out your cube and add blocks or slabs on every second block.

Be able to do this for the entire length of the wall to the next corner, or minimally to the halfway point between the two towers. These towers, if possible, should protrude from the corners so that you can clearly see and shoot anything near your wall. This is to help keep your walls clean of mobs. In addition, you will want to build guard towers in each corner of the compound. You may also wish to build a secondary fortification inside as well as a real-world castle (see topic below), just in case of a breach. This means your farms, houses and any other buildings you have will be protected. This will surround your entire settlement. This consists of a large fortified wall with an overhang to keep spiders out, as well as a wet or dry moat (optional). This is the best choice if you wish to create a permanent base. You can make a cube house which is a shelter when you come back from mining or fighting, for example. The most common type of starter house is a hole dug into a hill or mountain (similar to the Cave House). They can be made of any material, in any biome, anywhere. A basic house is anything from a 5×5 square to a castle the size of a Minecraft world.
