Many versions ago, Genshin Impact received a major feature allowing players to create a home outside the world of Teyvat. One Genshin Impact player has now decided to create a home of their own with some creative twists and turns.
Genshin Impact is a vast open world RPG with a unique home building feature, the Serenitea Pot. After progressing through a sizable portion of the Liyue story arc, the world quest titled "A Teapot to Call Home" may be received by Madame Ping. By completing the quest line, players earn the Serenitea Pot and enter an entirely different realm. The tea pot provides a huge plot of land for the player to build a home, grow crops, talk to companions, and rest after exploring the expansive world of Teyvat.
Reddit user u/HEB_AQW built a modern-style house in the Serenitea Pot, circumventing some restrictions miHoYo put in place for home-building. For instance, the user used many stone benches leading up to a second floor of the home. Many decorated rooms await on the second floor, created in an attempt to replicate the layout of a two-story house seen in the real world housing market. The second floor also features the highly detailed Paimon painting from the Dragonscape update.
The methods used to create such a house include clipping, which involves shaking an object really fast until the border placement hue sticks to blue. The blue hue signifies that an object may be placed as the Genshin Impact user desires, and the clipping method allows objects to be played virtually anywhere in the home. Ultimately, clipping allows players to negate the object placement restrictions and create a home with limitless potential.
Akin to Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the Serenitea Pot is a great feature for Genshin Impact players exploring their creative side. Many other Reddit users applaud u/HEB_AQW for creating a home that is not normally allowed in Genshin Impact due to placement restrictions. The Reddit post received 8,200 upvotes with an impressive 98% upvote ratio. Over 110 comments were posted with overwhelming support for the user and the new home.
The creation of this modern-style home might earn the attention of the developers, which could lead to a fix of the clipping method in a future update. However, a method like this should remain to allow for more creativity and enjoyment inside the Serenitea Pot. Genshin Impact is highly regarded by many and continues to see success with each new version. The arrival of Yelan in Genshin Impact version 2.7 is just one example of content that creates a lot of excitement in the community.
Genshin Impact is available now for mobile, PC, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5. A Switch version is in development with no confirmed release date.
