Minecraft Color Theory - Instantly improve your builds!

In this video, I'll be teaching you how to apply Minecraft color theory to massively improve a mediocre build. We'll talk briefly about warm/cool colors, contrast, and how to create a specific mood or atmosphere using blocks in Minecraft! Learn how to create a Minecraft color palette with ease!

I've always enjoyed building in Minecraft, but this is my first time really trying to make building content, so if you guys enjoy and want to learn more, be sure to let me know!

"... most important thing is colour." ... I love that im colourblind :D

[WaldoWheresReal]

I've seen the same tips so many times but this is the first video that actually made me feel like i could do it

[Someone-zruq]

How would you recommend doing this in survival where you don’t have access to tons of blocks

[TooBadAtController]

Amazing video. You're right, blocks shouldn't be seen as individual materials. Blocks are just colors just, and you create texture by incorporating different values and saturations into a build. And this shows more when you become farther away to a build, and the texture of the individual blocks blends together to show a more even color

Ro11en, i grew up playing the earth smp you created. I loved your content since 2020 and it's super amazing to see how good you've have become at making videos.

Now I’m going to use a gradient in every build I make

really cool stuff, love that it's not a block-by-block tutorial where you say *what* to do for a specific build but rather *how* to do it for any build

[RobinRhombus]

Just a minor thing to note: The white parts you see on castles is not sun bleaching. That's the paint that they used to have back when they were in use. Once they were abandoned, no one was around to repaint the parts that peeled off.

Gonna be honest, i don't really like gradients and complex block pallets, i love builds that are simple, and use the texture of the block itself instead of gradients. Usually builds with complex palettes look amazing, but they don't feel like Minecraft, and they feel like impossible things to make. I absolutely love the simplistic nature of a lot of Minecraft builds from the xbox 360 age

This impressionistic style of building is good for large/grand builds, especially viewed from far away. But for smaller builds such as the example here, where youre up close with the whole structure, the illusion fades and can turn messy. With these smaller builds, I think its better to limit the pallette to ~3-4 blocks.

I'd gladly take an expanded tutorial on how to do colors and how to bring together shape, color and detail

[orphan-eater]

Definitly want a tutorial on those amazing builds

[smirkysmuffing]

This is such a good tutorial, love how instead of outright giving set instructions you guide us on how and why you did it. Mad useful

[CludPvP]

The man himself! You were a crystal PvP mentor to me back in the day lmao

I won’t lie, I completely forgot you still upload so cool stuff… also, 2b2t updated to 1.19 to try it out.

[AsbestosEnjoyer]

I wouldn't say castles aren't vibrant, it's just that you are going for the look of a castle in he modern day, which have usually been left to ruin, or are not maintained except for things that keep it safe to be inside. That's is completely fine, I'm just saying that when you make a castle, it doesn't have to be all grays or other muted tones, a lot of castles were for example painted white, usually to hide the poorer quality of the stonework underneath.

Wow it even automatically adds shaders

[belafeld]

Hello Ro11en, Greetings from Germany! I 100% need a tut vor that Cathedral at the end!!!

[uoivdde]

I'd love to see a tutorial on how you build stuff like that, I've tried building on my own and the building were rather decent according to people I know, but I think this looks so much better.

[liamcoolcool]

this is gonna be really helpful for my city build

[isaacsteen]

Something that I've noticed about these "get better at building" tutorials is that they tend to abandon the idea of building for player interaction. The grayscale palette shown in the video here is great, but try to live in a similar structure in Survival and you'll quickly find yourself going insane. When you're living Minecraft at the player scale, the textures and materials of the blocks start to matter.
