Minecraft idea wanted?

Hi, me and a crew are building a magic school in Minecraft.

We're in 1.8 and also do without mods.

Now to my question: do you have cool building ideas on how we get magic into school and not everyone thinks it's a random school?

LG. And thanks for your comments

Hidden portal blocks to use the particle effects.

Works a lot with redstone, RS torches, glowstone and so on… That can make a difference:-)

Command blocks

Do they already exist in 1.8?

Yap should be

/ give NAME minecraft: command_block NUMBER

So quite normal.

Use particles to make magical particles (e.g. Those from the nether portal / end box).
Redstonefackeln
End crystals
chandelier

Of course / give @p command_block only work very differently in 1.8. The system of commands has been completely renewed, the reason why I have not done anything with commands since 1.9.

I don't know how well you can build, but you can build particles with glass blocks. I like to work with magical effects with shades of green or purple.
