To people that want to build this in their own seed, I would suggest adding or subtracting a fixed number to all the tower coordinated, to offset the location of the build to where you need it to be. The coordinates of the first tower is located 4 blocks above the lowest courtyard, so if you want to have it at ground level, you should start building that tower 4 blocks above ground. Or above that if you want to build it above ground level.
The footprint of the castle itself is roughly 85x100, without the bridge at the bottom in the front of build. The castle is 182 blocks tall if you measure from a couple of blocks below the bottom bailey courtyard. So basically from where the lowest wall starts, to the top of the tallest spire.

One of my viewers (vocero) made a really helpful tool to help reposition all 17 castle towers to fit in your own world/seed:

Click File - Make Copy to create your own personal copy of this file (or download as an Excel file) which will allow you to modify these options.

Then simply fill in a world coordinate in a copy of the google sheet, and the waypoint for each of the 17 towers are auto generated based on the input parameters, axes can also be either flipped and/or mirrored. Waypoints can simply be pasted in a xaero's minimap waypoint text file, or the coordinates can simply used as is.

Thanks a lot to vocero.

Material List:
The list is for the clean (untextured) version of the build and without furniture. I will post another list for the furniture in the final episode. During the tutorials I list suggestions for texturing materialsfor each part of the build, so rememeber that the blocks you're going to use for texturing will substitute the blocks in this list.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
A lot of people have been asking if you can build it in another world, like a flat world or something else. You can of course but as I mentioned in this video, you'll have to do some terraforming. In the intro to the second episode, I've added a rough visual guide for how to terraform the missing landscape, which you need to do if you use the vanilla seed or any other seed, instead of my own map (download is in the description). As I mentioned, you don't need to terraform until the main buildings are in place, since it's a lot easier to build the terrain when you have buildings to anchor the terrain to. Also check the description where I posted a reposition google sheet made by a viewer of mine called "vocero".
In the intro to the third episode I give a couple of suggestions for what height level to build in, if you want to build it in a flat world. Since the coordinates for the towers are necessary for building the castle, you need to offset all coordinates by a fixed number to "move" the build to where you want it to be. I know it's a bit of work, but it should be easy enough once you've picked the coordinates for the first tower in your own world/seed (making a "blueprint" for alle the towers would've been a nightmare and prone to error, unlike coordinates).
I know this info should've been in the first episode, but I honestly never imagined that people would build it anywhere else than the map I used, since the build is so context specific in how it's designed. But I know that for future builds, so I'll keep that in mind. Thank you!

This is like unboxing one of those giant lego sets, seeing all of the bags and multiple instruction booklets fall out of the box, and getting that feeling of "this is gonna take a long time, but it's gonna be so satisfying".

[SkyDark-mxjr]

Bro oh my god, i can not believe there's actually a Youtuber doing such tutorial like this. It's a blessing to find this channel

Just an fyi for bedrock users regarding the coordinates. The correct position for the towers are basically +1 to x and z, or technically minus since these cords are minus. So for example the first tower in java as seen here is -461, 116, -245, but for bedrock that would be -462, 116, -246. So basically a block up and left, diagonal relative to where the videos cords show. I think java and bedrock just has different ways of calculating cords.
These are the correct cords for Bedrock users:

Tower 1: -462, 116, -246

Tower 2: -439, 138, -235

Tower 3: -414, 126, -235

Tower 4: -439, 144, -251

Tower 5: -421, 144, -251

Tower 6: -472, 158, -270

Tower 7: -448, 162, -262

Tower 8: -439, 164, -264

Tower 9: -421, 163, -263

Tower 10: -398, 162, -264

Tower 11: -382, 170, -290

Tower 12: -391, 165, -301

Tower 13: -426, 163, -305

Tower 14: -434, 165, -308

Tower 15: -458, 163, -290

Tower 16: -457, 163, -274

Tower 17: -408, 170, -287

I never thought that I would ever be able to see a tutorial for something like this. That's incredible man...

[eduardwan]

Brother, I feel like I've seen 1000 tutorials and recreated hundreds of buildings, but I've never seen anything as spectacular as on your channel, and that too with a tutorial. You deserve much more attention. Huge respect to you. BTW, I'm currently rebuilding the mausoleum in survival 😂

[Rahulbpc]

it's time to collect awesome bro.

[Helena-hg]

I am SO HAPPY that you actually make tutorials for these mega builds! You're my favourite minecraft builder <3

[DMN-ms]

This film stands out from the hundreds of channels I subscribe to, it's a huge and beautiful project, and it's my favorite architectural tutorial video I've seen so far. [It's hard to update a few hours of teaching for two weeks, be careful not to get tired, I can't give you super thanks, I can only like it][Cambridge Translation]

[Axithilia]

Beautiful castle.. Maybe even the prettiest I've ever seen built in minecraft, can't wait to make this in my world

[zosia-ro]

i have started building this in survival word, and this feels like its the most enjoyable experience i had with tutorials i had so far, not to mention seeing the beautiful progress is fantastic, but the video itself isnt rushed at all and i am able to keep up with the building, which is great. both the tutorial and the building are majestic to me, thank you for sharing this :) !!

[klauswtf]

You are an artist in Minecraft who has creative power. I hope your channel continues to grow.

[erinmckenzie]

My goodness you are talented!!! I cannot believe these are out here for free, thank you so much for your generosity!

[hunterabbott]

Why does my algorithm make me search so much to find good content like this

[maeriee-pie]

This is absolutely crazy how you post such detailed tutorials for majestic af builds. I wish this channel more recognition this year! ❤🎉

[joramerandio]

I'm so happy to see your channel getting more subs..
As expected of you, your builds are breathtaking.. ❤❤❤

[Flowwkage]

Just beautiful. I think this is going to be my first big Minecraft project. Wish me luck!

[Finchinks]

discovered your channel while browsing for a lil castle for our realm and i am just so blown away by the scale and detail you create! wonderful works!!! will absolutely be following these tutorials to see what i can learn froma master

[valentinopandiscia]

Dude love the build so far!! finally a big build tutorial not done in a superflat world! I've been using the effortless building mod and it adds randomizer bags, basically you put the blocks you want to use in the bags, and it randomizes them as you place them, which is really helpful for the texturing! looking forward for the next part of the tutorial! btw I'm from Portugal 😁

[akaviral]

Comment because I have no words for the attempt at a tutorial finally coming to fruition in such a successful manner
