I remember Shadiversity having a real good video on what you should keep in mind if you are designing a castle, not specifically for minecraft but quite good info in it. Anyhow great tips in the video, love it!

[jilliancrawford]

Any rooms that are too weird to inspire anything specific are great for storage or modified hang-out areas for lower members of the castle like a break room, but that depends on the lore you want to create.
I understand the notion of using blocks that fit the area, but I do think it's reasonable to consider the possibility of the area being able to do trades and exports of exotic materials. That also has lore implications that one may or may not want to make, but imo it would be a way to expand block palettes to more unconventional materials while still being within reason.

I have been trying to come up with a castle design for the server am playing on, and I have kept hitting roadblocks, thank you for your tutorial because it was very informative and I have a better understanding. Thumbs up👍!

Thanks! my dirt shack will soon be an epic castle with hill, draw bridge, rivers and a riveting town around it! all thanks to this video!

[avau]

The effort to build all the examples 😭 thank you!
I really like the idea of tutorials which teach you the skill and not just do the build for you. Nice work 👌

For the white one with diorite I suggest using calcite

[misterenfeu]

Perfect for my first chateau 😉 being French I have a bit of trouble if there is no visual, otherwise all the steps are well said
Good job! 💪

Wow. I'll use this in my own world!

[thesmoog]

That all looks awesome, it’s definitely given me some stuff to work from, thanks!

Don't make a sandstone roof on a prismarine base - make a prismarine roof on a sandstone base (seriously, it looks a lot like fancy shingles).

[kaanitoplays]

even with easy steps, no way i can built something like that, huge respect to your amazing work ✌✌💥💥

[NivaeliVT]

Such beautiful terrain! Do you use a mod or Worldpainter..?

[adamolandczyk]

[qtruoet]

u need mor subscribers u deserve at least 150k

[ranveerdaga]

can you do a block for block tutorial?

[itzme.beniee]

I know this tutorial is almost 2 years, but I'm loving and wanting to copy the layout for s build, just hard to vision the height, width and length of the whole structure

[jairmendez]

Interior is just as important as exterior. Without it you just have an empty shell that can’t be explored. No life in the build

[Astroyph]

U should be a part of sos server or hermitcraft

[davidtoth]
