I love how even when tryna do something as small and relaxing as building your speedrunning habits kick in. Like how you organised your hotbar using your offhand, "speedbridged" when building walls, or (most notably) finding a lava pool and instinctively going to the nether
Just a suggestion: many builders use a stonecutter for crafting stone "detail blocks". It's not that expensive to make, considering the extent of your prepare stage here, and you save on material every time you make slabs, stairs etc.
Rek is going to master all the Minecraft areas. What area is next? Coding? Loving your videos rek, keep up the great work! Also, building tip when crafting stairs of stone variant use a stonecutter because it takes up less resources.
Nice video, this inspires me to try a medieval build again! building is so fun when you figure out the best technique to fit your playstyle. Midievil builds in my opinion are the best-looking builds because they fit almost every biome, especially the spruce biome! Also, I think it would be so fun if you started a hardcore world series or something of that sort.❤ I think upgrading an entire village to make it look medieval would be epic
the bigger house should go up a bit more than the other one and use the same kind of roof, and use an outline for it with darker bocks like maybe replace the birch with spruce (only for the outline) and then a chimny to make it pop more
Bro. Rekrap is the pinnacle of someone you can look up to. He's got a lot of friends who he often plays has fun and makes videos with. He shares that experience with others he's a great pvp'er he's a good redstoner a great Speedrunner and he's becoming a good builder honestly. The paragon of someone to look up to. Keep up the great work man
This was the perfect inspiration for my builders block, the way you can place random block that aren’t symmetrical and they still turn out to look fire 🔥 props to you rekrap!!
You are on the right track with the roofs, I would consider using different blocks than birch to fit better with the spruce. But for the rest, it's a great house!
Cool video! A building tip I have for you would be to have a story for why every detail exists in the build. For example, why is there a raised platform for the build? Maybe it’s to get away from the hostile mobs. Then, maybe the entrance could be a little more secure. Another thing, like you stated, are specific details. You want the build to look realistic, so you want aspects from real life to be visible in Minecraft as well. There are pillars in real life to hold up the building and preventing it from collapsing. There are large windows to let in large amounts of sunlight. There are greenery in the build bc there are no greenery anywhere else and it feels like a ghost town. Even color also has a play. Blue represents the calmness, orange/yellow for warmth/and green for life.
I love how organic your build looks. Whenever I build I end up trying to be way too precise, and it always feels like something is missing. I’ll definitely be taking some tips from you!
the way that rek laid out the thought process was so entertaining and relatable. when he was talking about having the idea in his head and it being murky, i instantly knew what he was talking about
great work honestly. way better than what I could even do in creative without any builder’s block. I’d say you’re well on your way to being a master builder rek. ❤
good building and good video as always, a suggestion a have for a building is a town full of houses mad of big mushrooms (i know a bit specific and wierd)
If I'm filling in a decently sized area with blocks I like to spam place them in bursts of three. Usually I can set up the area with this in mind, like having a straight line I move horizontally across (Place three in front of me, move over one, place three) or a more narrow area with a few blocks of horizontal movement that I move backwards from. For me, this strategy has worked the best in the most situations, large and small scale, and I can get into a nice rhythm with it. Love the build! (Although, if I need to fill in a *really* large area, I use the exploit where you bind a key on the keyboard to place block, which spams it faster than I ever could, without hurting my hands at all)
The best way to feel motivated and get ideas for building is, at least for me, have a story. When you have a story to build from, with a general theme, it's easier to get wrapped into the world and imagine what happened in the builds and how they came to be. Whether you already have a story planned out, or you create the plot as you find inspiration throughout the world, having a defined world can make it feel more real, giving the motivation to see it come to life.
just a suggestion: you can build a medieval castle with a giant wheat field outside it and have some medieval mods for detail. (this is actually something i want to build but i don't have minecraft)
Hey rekrap1 big fan. You keep me motivated and an idea on what to build is a underwater build in survival minecraft. The reason why you should do it is because it is challenging to get air while building and the end results are going to be awesome.
the fact i JUST had the same spark and also built something is just so surreal seeing this video i probably wouldnt normally watch it but you posted it the same time i had a building spark
A true all-round, also it think maybe adding some texture on the roof to add that sort of variety Edit: Add a path from there going to maybe like a town or something to add like story to the build, or you could make a coastal village with docks and boats
Tip for placing blocks: with the mod "accurate Block placement" for fabric, you can place Block holding right click as fast as if you were dragclicking at 20/30 cps. You can also godbridge with that mod just by holding the mouse button
id say a thing you can do for your next video is some small terraforming or something like that, I always had the idea that terraforming must be big and large and i have done some of those projects, but the real fun for me is in the small detailed cliffs and little mountains. and the blending them into the existing terrain.
rek really ate that build up, that palette ended up working really well together. should you do this again, you should make a little barn/farm to go with your mini castle here
This is such an amazing video and also the commentary is great! :D Its funny because I had exactly the same idea 3 days ago. To just start a world and build some builds :)
I can see the inspiration from fwips build, but also its different enough to tell that its your own style. i would really love to see like a building class tutorial type colab. keep up the good work
very cool build might try to do a re-build of it maybe anyway u did a great jop for ur first time just building ive done a bit of building myself for like 2y now but this is a great build keep up the good work.
would be interesting to see a proper series from you doing things in a single world where you do things over a longer term project than just a single episode.
omg that’s so cool you went rock climbing rek!! i’ve been doing bouldering for 3 years and my hands have developed enough calluses to not be completely shredded after a session but i know your pain….
I’ve been climbing for around a year now and only felt that sort of pain for a couple months ( unless I have a hard session) but was wondering how long he’s been climbing Also what grade do you climb???
@@MrMini-uk1ku ahh you are lucky, idk how old you are but i started at age 13 so my skin was still weak anyway but due to the bouldering and aging i’m fine now. my highest graded problem was 7c+ but i usually climb from 6a-7b+ which i think is V6/7? Hbu?
@@zelextreme I started 2 months after I turned thirteen so I’m 14 now and have topped a v8 but consistently climb v6 v7 Sry I don’t know the 7a grading thing with the letters 😂 I climb in Florida
@@MrMini-uk1ku oh damn that’s impressive?! you only started a year ago yet you’re climbing at such a high grade, well done it’s alr idrk the grade system in general cos i just climb everything i think i can do
Congratulations on a job well done! Your creativity and skill really shine through. But one thing kinda missing will be a build tour before the cinematic shots to get a closer look at the amazing details you've put into it. Keep up the great work! I genuinely love your videos and guess everybody does.....
pro tip i like using, if you're building randomly with two different blocks you can have one in main hand and one in offhand and spam offhand key while building to randomly place them
i like this video you talked in it like in a podcast because there's no music it felt very calming just watching and listening to you talk about and play minecraft and id love to see more of these chill videos
6:31 rek, You are the most well rounded youtuber I have ever seen, you speedrun, play on smp's, a redstone maniac (in a good way) , pvp[er], and now a builder! YOU ARE AMAZING idk how you do it but whatever you are doing in insane man, love your vids bye.
Hi Rek, It is honestly super cool and refreshing that you are learning to be well-rounded in Minecraft. That you wanna learn new things and are willing to try. It's inspiring to see that
I like this build a lot. So free and different in terms of style. Maybe add onto it since you're in a taiga forest. Expand out but just add smaller simpler village-like builds
A couple really simple tips Walls bear the most load at the bottom so the bottom should always seem more cracked or rugged. This can be achieved through rougher blocks like cobblestone, the addition of stairs to make it look like a chunk is missing, stone buttons on the ground to make it look like a chunk fell out(you could also do this on the paths to look like pebbles), some mossy cobblestone or mossy stone brick and you can even add the occasional slab around the bottom wall for even more wear. For the color palette you can add dead coral, light gray wool, tuff block, mossy cobble or mossy brick and acacia logs. Also the ore blocks can add more color like stone and deepslate coal ore and same with iron. For the flooring you could use oak planks, with striped oak logs and beehives. Lanterns also would of looked amazing in this build. You could also at wall blocks in the corners of the building to add more shape. For the roof you could add a gradient with blocks like yellow wool, hay bales, yellow concrete, wax blocks, and honey blocks. And there also some really nice gradient roofs for blue and dark gray. Anyways nice build and hope you make this like a series.
Good job with the build! For a beginner that is absolutely amazing! I recommend perhaps improving your gradation and color palettes! Additionally, shaping the roofs could use some work. Great job!
good tip: if you're building anything thats supposed to be medival-timed style adding vines almost always work and i think you can add some grass and flowers to fill in the empty dirt space
I can relate to rockclimbing, ur hands r so tired after and u dont realise how wesk they are. ( if you climb more you will get more and more used to it)
When he said “DUDE THE MUDE LOOKS SO gooood🤤” lol just thought is was funny at 9:42 but I love your video and I wish you the best of luck on your building journey
I play build battle and from my experience, it is better to individually click if you get good at being fast and precise about it, it's significantly faster, but if you're not practiced in building fast then holding down right click will probably be faster for you.
Nice job on the build dude, shout out to the cousins girlfriend! Feel free to reach out if you want any tips!

Yup yup
What more.....?
I love the fact that Rek can just do random stuff now and make it entertaining. It adds a lot of depth and realism to his channel.
I agree with you!
rek should do something sandiction. he’s a really good builder and it would be fun to watch them build! also rek the video was really good!! 😊
I agree

he does make one eventually, you can see it at 16:30
Do you save materials when making slabs though
@@arandomperson3117 nah it's the same value, 1 block for 2 slabs

Skipped to the end to see the build and it looks awesome Rek! Love your videos ❤
I love how organic your build looks. Whenever I build I end up trying to be way too precise, and it always feels like something is missing. I’ll definitely be taking some tips from you!
If you enjoyed making this type of video, please make more with the premise of building, because it was really inspiring
the way that rek laid out the thought process was so entertaining and relatable. when he was talking about having the idea in his head and it being murky, i instantly knew what he was talking about
You should definitely do more ist just so relaxing watching someone talk and build because there isn’t a climax so it’s a calm mood
Been thinking about trying to get better at building recently, this might give me a little push to get going! Great video rek
Ngl this is the most random video rek has ever made but a rekrap video is always a banger❤🔥
yo love your vids i always find myslef watching until the end❤
Love your videos from India 🎉🎉🎉 seeing your growth gives me goosebumps and the time you spend in Minecraft 💯
Same ❤❤
This is why I love Rek. Random but original ideas
great work honestly. way better than what I could even do in creative without any builder’s block. I’d say you’re well on your way to being a master builder rek. ❤

Rek, I love that ur getting out of ur comfort zone every once and a while to do things like redstone and builds, its really cool to see.
love this style of video, please keep making more videos like these!
The best way to feel motivated and get ideas for building is, at least for me, have a story.

Library's are very fun to build I highly suggest trying to build one, love you vids!
This is inspiring me to take my good building skills to awesome skills. Booting up Minecraft to build rn!
just a suggestion: you can build a medieval castle with a giant wheat field outside it and have some medieval mods for detail. (this is actually something i want to build but i don't have minecraft)

Could u do a video on reviewing your old Minecraft worlds from years ago I love the vids would love to see this idea in a video!
really nice building rekrap! i couldnt make that in creative if my life depended on it 😭

And this should become your survival world where you build an empire!
id love to see you do more building!
Great job on the build and on practicing different things that you're not used to.
Great video Rek! Please do another one of these soon!
Build something using the nether tree woods. Their trapdoors have very cool textures and it can provide a lot of variation!
You should totally try to build a floating island in the sky, I feel like that would go great with the build style you’re going for.
