Mojang was actually quite accurate on the hay bales in the dungeon. Hay was often strewn on the floor, made it easier to clean out the prisoners filth.
Except for the fact that dungeons never existed underground in the medieval period. Dungeon comes from the word Donjon, which was the tallest tower of the castle. Later they became underground, but that's like 16th or 17th century type thing. As for hay, they had that in the halls and taverns too.
@@gerythionargarys7848 I know, I also watch shadiversity. However, dungeon can in modern times be interpretted as a place to store prisoners, wether it be in some cellar, a tower, a stable or whatever. If someone needed to be locked up, and werent noble enough to get some furniture, if it was good enough for animals, it was good enough for the riff raff.
It should be a rare structure like the woodland mansion. It could spawn above strongholds as an indicator of its location. It could be in ruins and be hidden in a secret room that is challenging to get to.
Fills the edges tho and made it a seamless landscape. Waste of time filling the entire gap up when it's unseen, video must have taken long enough as it is
Dude I miss oldschool style builds like this. It brings back so many memories from back in the day. My only main complaint is the walls don't have proper machicolations, but otherwise it's really well done.
Anyone remember those Minecraft books that would either have a shovel, redstone, or some other tool on it that basically was a guidebook for being better at Minecraft. When I was a kid I would pick them up from my school’s bookfair whenever I saw them
Honestly, I'm surprised at the level of detail and just the overall quality of the builds in the Mojang book. They have gotten a lot better compared to something like the construction handbook.
I built a castle around a year ago, and I'm proud to say that my portculis was almost exactly the same as the Mojang one lmfao, it worked in a similar way
I eventually installed a similar design at my town gate, only the build was *diagonal.* Took me ages to figure out how to do it without everything sticking together :P
It is basically the simplest good-looking portcullis you can make. It is literally double piston extenders on the top and bottom, with two Gravity Blocks on the bottom to push the thing up. Personally, I prefer the triple piston extender version, since that lets horses through, but I don't think horses were in the game when this book was published.
@@ashlynnheller8400 if you leave a hole enemy try's to get in by that hole and not tunneling This way you can focus your archers more around that area and get good kills
when i was 11 i built a giant castle together with my dad, using this book and historic castles i had been to as inspiration. It took me over a year, but when i was almost 13, it was finally done, and it looked magnificent. Sadly due to my pc crashing I don't have the world anymore... Still have the book though, and still use it a lot.
Nice build, thanks for the vid! My explanation - hay bales are for beds. Not in Minecraft for sure, but IRL medieval jail beds probably would be made of straw or something, and straw would be refreshed every now and then (if you are in a nice jail). We don't have straw in Minecraft though, so here we go with wheat, for immersion. We don't know what kind of beds are in those cells (well we do know, but roleplaying and stuff). Arrow catapult is a great idea, if you want to organize something of a siege with other players or raid event, but don't want to rebuild all suroundings after TNT blasts.
actually the straw is used more for keeping the floors clean than for sleeping on, though we are talking the dungeons... think of how its used in barns.... and how they get mucked out... it would be the same for a prison cell...
I'm so happy someone did a video on this book. I've had it for years and I've done so many castle builds with it, and I think it's so cool that someone did a video with it
ngl that arrow thing is actually really cool. I've never really been involved with redstone stuff or doing automated things so maybe it's been well known but it genuinely looks really cool to me.
I agree, plus its a way of defending corners because of its spread. Maybe its not as effective as a wall of dispensers making an arrow storm, or a good tnt cannon, but it can shoot diagonal, which seems really powerful in a game where you can only face blocks in the 4 compass points. Mojang coming up with good ideas even in the early days ;)
Actually ''good' castles back then were awful. Everyone who wasnt related to the ''king'' or commander had to sleep in a large room and had only one furnace to keep them all warm (which was about 30-40 people) And you were luck if you had a 3 brick thick wall all the way around your one *mayybe* two story ''castle''. At that there was likely some small animal pen (for wild horses or caught wild chickens) that would be near you, to stink up the entire place.. No hate just facts. The castles nowadays and on movies are super fancy and not at all what castles were back then (the actual times were they got the movie from)
@@naomigwolfe8112 That isn't true either. Castle walls tend to be really thick. If they were as thick as three bricks, then a trebuche would'vd demolished it quite it easily. Plus it won't have any abilitiy to you know, be able to walk on different levels on the wall such as the top. Also castles tend to have very less people in fact for just how good they were. Typically around 20 to less men. Alao you do forget that they didn't live in the castle walls itself, but probably a structure build on the inside where it had normal wall thicknesses, and that stone is a good thermal conductor. I'm guessing it'll be just like most homes that used earth, and it kept cool in the summer, warm in winter if you were willing to light a fire inside one.
Sadly it can't be like that because they don't want to you to be able to get foreign or otherwise rare items in such a common place, but I would love to see a mod with crazy huge kingdoms like this instead of villages

It was a good design. I have the same book and adapted parts into my own builds. IMHO Mojang kept things simple so that the internal villages are just crying out for creativity and modifying. It gives you a base upon which to springboard into fabulous results.
Hate to be that guy, but the elevation of the castle matters for two important reasons: Restrict access to the castle to a couple or hopefully one road that can then be heavily fortified, and being higher than the surrounding area. That includes mountains around you. Sure, you built the castle on raised earth, but you also built it at the foot of a mountain thats much taller than your castle. Meaning you'd have to make your walls higher than the mountain (a.k.a. ridiculous) or its just a massive weakness to the defenses if people dont have to engineer a way to get over your walls. They just gotta climb up then climb down, from an area that doesnt even have battlements or towers big enough to reach the enemy before they're already descending down on you. Either build it on top of a normal mountain that is the highest in its area, or build the castle on rasied earth in the middle of a flat biome like a plains, so that you're guaranteed to have the high ground. Otherwise your castle just has a glaring flaw

I have only recently started building in Minecraft. But I saw this book a few years ago and was fascinated by it. So when I saw it again, I bought it. As a Minecraft newbie, it was gold dust. I built loads of the projects, adapting and mixing stuff up as I gained confidence. I have since seen many Minecraft building books, but still think this the best. Quality builds, clear instructions, loads of useful things that can be repurchased for other things.
It was really beautiful years ago, because you had only those materials and your mind couldn’t imagine great upgrades like: “let’s use blackstone” or “let’s use prismarine”. It was just the best you could do with those resources. The only thing you could do was building it bigger

I used to love that book. Spent hours building castles and creating stories behind them. Now, seven years later, I stumbled across an old world and started to update the castles via the create mod! Just makes it ten times better
At 4:57, notice the back wall is built separate from the castle. That's a lot of room for intruders to just climb up the mountain and walk in without permission.

Hello there

@@realazhar you are a bold one
I love how mojang actually cares about the community
XD
Always care.
Mojang even hope their fans survive.
They cared about us since the release of the game heck they even gave us what we wanted a cave update
@@eser3257 I mean look at the Splash screen.
I have this book at home, but I’ve never gotten around to building it. So happy to see someone who’s finally done it!
It was a good design. I have the same book and adapted parts into my own builds. IMHO Mojang kept things simple so that the internal villages are just crying out for creativity and modifying. It gives you a base upon which to springboard into fabulous results.
This is a whole new level of "I did some building off camera"
So you think this is building off camera imagine doing week-long building off camera go to Trixie blocks you'll see
So on camera building is now off camera? Weird.
@@IAmLedsterOo woosh
Its not a tutorial bro✌ If he would Show everything the Video will be 2 hours long
@@ichmagapfel7355 ....what?
Now all we need is a REASON to build fortified castles like this. Yeah they look cool but they serve no purpose
I guess to protect a village from pillages?
Enemy sieges would be a blast. Terraria styled events like the goblin invasion or blood moon would breathe life into the game in an unprecedented way
For a Server-Spawn perhabs
Looking cool is my main reason for building anything in Minecraft.
@@DuplicitousthoughtformentityThat would be sick
Fun fact: This book has it's own realm.

Good thing I read this before starting a raid
Hate to be that guy, but the elevation of the castle matters for two important reasons: Restrict access to the castle to a couple or hopefully one road that can then be heavily fortified, and being higher than the surrounding area. That includes mountains around you.
Sure, you built the castle on raised earth, but you also built it at the foot of a mountain thats much taller than your castle. Meaning you'd have to make your walls higher than the mountain (a.k.a. ridiculous) or its just a massive weakness to the defenses if people dont have to engineer a way to get over your walls. They just gotta climb up then climb down, from an area that doesnt even have battlements or towers big enough to reach the enemy before they're already descending down on you.
Either build it on top of a normal mountain that is the highest in its area, or build the castle on rasied earth in the middle of a flat biome like a plains, so that you're guaranteed to have the high ground. Otherwise your castle just has a glaring flaw
Honestly not enough people are talking about how good you terraformed it, you blended it in so well with the world good job 👏

Try it in sandstone with the new block styles. It's awesome.
Please do an upgrade video on this. I enjoyed this video so much and would love to see another
I have only recently started building in Minecraft. But I saw this book a few years ago and was fascinated by it. So when I saw it again, I bought it.
As a Minecraft newbie, it was gold dust. I built loads of the projects, adapting and mixing stuff up as I gained confidence.
I have since seen many Minecraft building books, but still think this the best. Quality builds, clear instructions, loads of useful things that can be repurchased for other things.
5:20 omg the old school minecraft kitchen ! So many memories of my 8 years old me!!
It was really beautiful years ago, because you had only those materials and your mind couldn’t imagine great upgrades like: “let’s use blackstone” or “let’s use prismarine”. It was just the best you could do with those resources. The only thing you could do was building it bigger

FINALLY, somebody else who prefers the old wheat
I kept accidentally harvesting my wheat prematurely when they updated the texture. I'm glad for texture packs.
I liked how it looked and the fact that I knew when it was ready to be picked.
@@IndigoGollum People like you are overreacting.
There is a blatant difference between the new fully grown wheat and the stage right before fully grown wheat.
I never understood people like you.
The new wheat 100% looks better, it looks more natural.
@@AHHHHHH107 You should still be able to tell the difference, otherwise you are choosing not to use your brain to learn the difference, and it's not hard to either.
@@maxdrags3115 next thing you know you will say the new emerald block textures are better then the old one.
I've seen this book in a Barnes and Noble and thought mehh there are plenty of minecraft tutorials on youtube for these kinds of builds... but this castle is actually amazing and historically accurate, I want this book now

@@hazzabomb707 you mean, how young 😌
"Build it on the high ground, so you have an advantage on attackers."
**Builds next to mountain**
Thats actually quite historical, mountains are pain to climb with even the smallest army, so it wouldn't be a viable route of attack, but effectively functions as a natural wall
@@thomashongshagen4912 but someone can climb on the mountain and have highround I think you didn't understand what he said
@@izawa9211 Someone can take it to the high ground but it is just not reasonable but to put all your resources to get to that high ground. It's historically accurate not Minecraft accurate.
