A small tip that i do often: when you Layout your build with woll or concrete, then go inside and start building some interior, then go and add the exterior, sometimes it gives you some extra shapes that you wouldnt have thought of in the first place

I love building, but I find myself stuck when trying to create bigger and better things. This was super helpful! Thank you!

Finding out that a minecraft block is scale one meter in real life made me have an existential crisis. Imagine carrying those around in your pockets and how large they would actually be

[finpeoples]

I just found this series, this is so helpful. I have always struggled with bigger builds. I can’t wait to watch the other videos in the series.

leaving a comment for the algorithm, this video helped me a lot because it really goes into the juice of the meat at building/planning/scaling etc etc. feels way more fresh now. Great editing too!!!

What a fantastically useful overview of how to set up the "bones" of these builds! Also, great point about the y-levels (height variances) on the different buildings in a multi structure build. Thanks so much for one of the most helpful how-to Minecraft videos I've seen in a long while.

Great video! Also those are some sweet builds :) The planning & layout section where you quickly explained why you adjusted the layout for the roof at 6:35 was insightful along with other small details like the face of the sun. I've been watching some build tutorials but they rarely explain why they build this and that, they're kind of made for people to follow along instead of explaining the process. It would be a great experience to see you go in depth with tips like that. Thanks for the video and good luck with your channel!

I've always been very bad at building and I never really understood why, except for a lack of practice. I want to start building better and this video might actually help me a lot in that aspect. Especially the fact that you said that the planning of a layout and a vision for what you want your build to be is so important instead of just starting to place blocks. The most I've always thought about a build beforehand was something along the lines of 'It is going to have two stories and maybe a little side area' and then you just end up with something that looks very bad. I'm excited to get better though and will definitely be checking your other videos out!

Some great tips! This is one of my favourite parts of the building process. I love planning.

Good video - I have great intentions to build things (and have plenty of ideas) but rarely plan very much before I build. Consequence is I have lots of partially completed builds scattered around my world that I have got some way through and then realized it doesn't fit or needs so much extra height to look right. I usually abandon them and go do something else (equally as chaotic)!

[Nate]

I’m liking these videos. I’m not good at building in general due to lack of practice/creativity but I’ll be checking this series out for sure

[morazzothemyth]

Thanks Adie. This series was helpful on a whole other level.

[Typort]

Nice video Adie. Do you plan on having videos on working with the terrain or your thought process when choosing shapes and sizes of say that fishing village you made? I think that's something a lot of people struggle with. Turning their plans into their visions, or how exactly to make their wall curve naturally and deal with that 5-10 block jump in height. #FoodForThought

Incredible Video!
this will help me a lot when I'm building my Megabase

[HighHopes]

Great info Addie, much appreciated and excited to see what's next

[rodneyskilton]

Nice video. It’s rare to see this type of content so I’m looking forward to the rest of series

[billiebyron]

thank you!! i want to make my own builds, but i always end up following tutorials block for block because anything i create looks terrible. 😔 but hopefully with some tips i can figure out how to do it myself!

[DYLAN-poxg]

ive got the best building of all my friends cause of you, thx!

[AZBAKAN-heir]

Thanks you really helped me at build battles❤ i always win!
