Building a Castle The Way Mojang Intended It

In this video, I built a castle the way mojang intended it. This video used the book Minecraft: Exploded Builds: Medieval Fortress.

Honestly, their design is not bad. It feels grounded and real while also being detailed. It definitely encapsulates medieval architecture pretty well.

Oh boy, i can remember the countless hours i spend trying to build that gate, i still have the book and its one of my most beloved ones

I like the build, it's reminiscent of the early days of Minecraft where we're only offered by a decent amount of building blocks compared to what we have now.

I hope Minecraft makes updated guides of these building tutorials, albeit with a few variations of the same build using the new building blocks of the recent updates.

Despite how old the design is, it holds up quite well, it's quite simplistic but I think it adds to the charm

That transition between text and game in the beginning was SMOOTHHHH

Thank you for making this!

6:30 what goes in the chest on the inaccessible balcony mojang? 😂😂

i remember having this book and was addicted, all i build now is medieval style and Viking style, sadly i lost that book and don't know where it went. side note i had this book when i was little, about 9-10 yrs old, I'm 17 going on 18 now :)

At 4:30; those are NOT EMBRASURES. They are BATTLEMENTS or CRENELLATIONS which are comprised of the raised barriers called Merlons and the spaces between them called Crenels.

Embrasures are an example of a hole in a solid wall for a soldier to shoot through. An arrowslit is a type of embrasure.

To be even more clear, the definition even shown on-screen says specifically that an embrasure is a SMALL opening that is splayed on the inside. Battlements are not small nor splayed on the inside.

There is one instance in which crenels were later called embrasures when used for cannon fire, but in the context of a medieval castle, this is not the case.

I like that you try to showcase when you build, a lot of creators just cut to when they are done or just don’t show gameplay, as much anymore, maybe you can do even more of that?

[edzfhrx]

If you ever wonder why da carpets. It’s because if it’s cold or hot it will either cool of the floor or vise versa

[Shiba-news]

castle? dawg, thats a whole kingdom 💀

[voguishthrone]

Ooooo now I want to get this book and make it with some of the updated blocks— like tuff bricks, maybe some deepslate bricks… the ideas are ideaing

[spacegames]

1:58 the song playing here gives me so much mythicalsausage nostalgia (I know lots of other creators use this music too but personally the one who stands out the most to me is mythicalsausage in empires ohh how those were the days 😂)

The structures outside the barracks in the yard were ornamental representations of straw training dummies traditionally used to practice technique in preparation for wartime, traditionally, there would be a circle where the sand would go for sparring, leaving cobbled granite rocks for the technique area. The variation in flooring was to lessen the blow for soldiers in training, if the lord they served was wealthy enough, though often this would just be substituted by packed mud, because it was cheaper.

I actually have used this book many times in my dad and I's mc world for our castle, obvi not these exact buildings but i skimmed through for inspiration since i don't really know what buildings were in a medieval town. this book slaps and i hope they remaster it at some point

[Johnthegoat-]

You should do a video where you try to improve the builds

[OscarOSullivan]

Castles like lighthouses benefit from less is more.

Towerhouses were the most common castle in Ireland due to how easy they are to build.
