Love your pics. Been trying similar, but have yet to find an Elder platform at high enough elevation to get the headroom. All I have found and dug out, I hit the water level too soon, Best I've got allows only 3 block high headroom, but still makes a nice base. Put my bed in the middle and the Elder altar fire serves to allow it' usage.

Still hunting to get one I could go 5 block high and put smelter, charcoal oven and fire for the cauldron inside as well.

IX7JpLYpLd is the seed these snapshots came from... also want to point out that if you look at the mini map in this snapshot, that the 3 nearest dots are all copper nodes (SUPER close by)... Elder altar is up on a hill but also very close to the shore for putting docks for boats..
