@@TheKDPlays hey so I'm new to building like ik hot to build but not much and I wanna say that this video was so helpful it made me build like 2 medieval houses they helped me very much thanks
these are incredibly helpful, these are the kind of tips i've been needing! i keep starting massive gothic builds but get lost and confused bc i fail to get good detailing and roofs
I appreciate this video man I've been watching it on repeat for the last 30 to 45 minutes really paying attention to details and it's helped me complete my first amazing looking cathedral for my medieval castle village thanks man and keep up the amazing work
While I "know" all this, this video brings it all together in such a way that I may actually think about it when building. I have plenty to do. I want to build my first giant castle. So far I've built a path going round a mountain with three gatehouses. There will be four. Today I terraformed bits of mountain around the path, to make it look like the path was carved into the mountain side.
That was my hardest thing. I knew all of this stuff, but I never really could explain what I was doing for everyone else. So I started taking notes on my own process and breaking it down. Then, I've been using this formula in my Let's Play to test it to make sure it works and I'm not missing anything. Finally... This video is here. 😂😂😂 Also, your build sounds awesome. Good luck on it. 😁👍
God bless you all in the ALLMIGHTY NAME OF HOLY-SPIRIT and in the ALLMIGHTY NAME OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR LORD JESUS-CHRIST Jesus Save you all, He loves you Amen ❤️🙏
SO helpful! I've had my own survival world for a while and had an idea for a gatehouse build. I didn't know where to start and couldn't really find any references for it but I tried anyway. It's alright but not super happy with it. Just been living with it because I don't even know where to begin to fix it. Not only are these tips exactly what I needed, your gatehouse is exactly the feel I was going for! I'm going to try and emulate it. I was so stoked I literally gaspsed when I saw it! Haha. It's the little things in life. Thank you for the inspiration and motivation!
A year ago i wasn't able to build, i always only played mc for command blocks creations and stuff, but i wasn't able to build a good looking house or tower. After another year of practicing as a non good builder i became much better and i found a logic behind any build: the structure integrity logic and all the little rules that are basically a huge theory i made by myself, but oh gosh it's getting to the next level. I'm now trying to push myself over the standard good looking house, and trying to find and understand the logic behind more complex builds wich should allow me to plan complex projects like a castle or advanced styles from nothing
i just went from wooden box to amazing build in 1 attempt. I have now made about 8 builds and they are all amazing. I will now start increrasing the size of the bases now
Been looking for videos on how to build and this is a gem. I know how to build but I've been wanting to build bigger more complex structures and this definitively helps
For my builds, I draw out a floor plan on paper and then make it in minecraft. I usually start with a layer of cobblestone to raise the build up by a layer like the village houses do. Then I build the wall and add the windows. After that, I add the roof and sometimes outdoor designs.
this is so helpful!! ive always struggled with the format of my houses and when i look for helo they always said the same thing about just placing blocks randomly for the shape, youve changed my perspective completly!!
Oh. My. Goodness. I started this vid thinking “How’s he gonna fit an ‘ULTIMATE’ guide in 10 mins!?!” Well, you did it and then some! Awesome tutorial explained in an easy to understand way. You’re Killan expectations over and over again!
Haha! The 10 minute time actually happened by complete accident. 😂😂😂 I was just trying to fit as much information in, without making things super complicated and over explaining. Glad you found the video helpful. 😁👍
I typically prefer more texturing than a single block in a 3x3. I normally do what I call pattern texturing, and that is random placement of specific patterns of different kinds of blocks. So what I sort of do is create tetris like pieces out of similarly textured blocks and place them together with a filler block that is more neutral but the same color in texture, that fills in the gaps between the randomly placed pieces. I think its looks pretty good when I execute it well, but its interesting to see a difference in building psychology, your builds are amazing but I didn't think there was enough texturing material.
A thing i found out was to follow step by step build tutorials on youtube. You start realizing some mechanics that people use while builiding and say "Ohhhh thats how they do it" and you start thinking by yourself from the things you learn from them
This is the first time I've ever seen "build the roof" as the second step. It's like putting your trousers on before your shirt. But luckily for you, i put my trousers on first. Will def keep it in mind next time.
This is great! I’ve never broken down what works and what doesn’t… and then half of my builds come out missing the mark lol. I’ve had good success using reference images. I find it’s easier to visualize the finished state of a build that way
Wow so much skill, ability and creativity condensed in 5 handy rules! Kudos! Great video, might be a good side show to make building tutorials, but whatever is best for you we’ll roll with it ✌🏻✌🏻
I need to thank you for this video! If i could I’d thank you in person. These tips turned my game around, now instead of building symmetrical rectangular monoliths, I’m currently working on a multi level house that i think will be amazing. You’ve earned a like and a sub!
There’s so many ways to build but one of the best ways I like to do is keeping it simple; especially when starting building. Even simple builds can look good. I made a school house that looks great and it only took 3-4 blocks types (including stairs/slabs). Also another way to hide a flat wall is add a tree (custom or not).
I'll fully admit the part I struggle with the most is the texturing part because whenever it's a city and/or town build, all I see is a poorly maintained build, and how will the residents feel any confidence in their local government if it can't even maintain the basic infrastructure of their home, let alone their own houses and public buildings. More isolated builds like a farm, and especially ruins, I can tolerate because it actually makes sense for that weathered look to be there. Um, decorating the walls, makin it look fancy or so on, I can do that in my sleep; but the texturing you pointed out here, I struggle with badly.
personally i always found random texturing the hardest, thats the only reason i added worldedit to my mods folder. i just mess around with various percentages until i find something that looks alright. although heres a question, if your building a medieval building and, lore wise, its also having just been built, so no weather damage for instance, do you think it would look better to not have any texturing in that case? i could see it going either way because on the one hand, its brand new, but on the other hand, its medieval and back then they werent great at building things compared to today, but idk if that should affect the build or not
Great delivery Killa Drone! I liked the little caption inserts. Nice style. I knew most of these, but not build the roofing first… I heard BluJay say that’s what you did on one of his videos and he seemed to be converted now… Will have to try this in my next build. 👍 When you mentioned calcite texturing with diorite, I personally prefer white concrete powder, feels more subtle imo.
This is a really nice and comprehensible tutorial compared to some other youtube videos, it really helped me with building my recent house, however, I currently have a problem in which my builds simply put- dont look good. I have a really hard time making proper looking structures, and they often look janky. I'm wondering what your method is to doing this, whether or not the problem lies in layering outside details or pairing certain blocks together to create variations and scene. Any tips for this?
I definitely will be making a roof video soon. I have an old one on my channel, but I have learned a few new tricks to show, so definitely needs to be updated. 😁👍
honestly the first step for me is get some inspiration somewhere from literally anything small or big cause without inspiration you are gonna hate it when its finished and you wont put 110% effort into the build also on top of that if you don't have a general idea of what you want in your build most times you will end up overdoing it. I am not the best builder will never claim i am a good builder but i will say having inspiration for a build before even collecting the resources definitely helps ALOT ... at least for me
I dont consider myself a great builder at all but i knkw that trapdoors are amazing, i also really like to use stairs. Theres so many different designs and uses for stairs too
Thank you! Glad you like it! I put a ton of time into the editing of this one, so I was a bit nervous about it. But it seems like even though it's lower in views, the people who have watched the video find it really helpful. So I'm super happy I could help. 😁👍
Great video Killa. This was officially my first Build guide from you. And you still taught me something new, I've been playing in my own world, and was lacking the motivation of building in a world no one will see. But after finding a really nice mountain and building area tonight. This video has made me wanna just go build something and see what happens. Multiplayer server is my preferred platform on Minecraft. Great video Killa, I'm off to gather resources lol.
Personally, I would never do the final version of texturing, because it always ends up looking terrible. It’s just too chaotic and it makes the whole build look bad, If roofs are flair and walls are style, then texturing is personality
I have made houses of weird shapes but it came out to be greater . There are some blocks that makes unspeakable shapes look good. The shapes are easy to make I mean like adding curves, diagonal edges, and maybe so curved or circular structure. In shapes I would still follow grian
I don't quite understand the layout part, as sometimes when you lookup builds for inspiration you see people use non linear/non symetrical shapes. (uneven circles/ovals). How would you layout something like that with a linear shape? (the shapes used in the layout section of the video) Examples: A island in the sky, A island in the ocean, A custom made fishing pond, A Volcano, etc...).
I know how to build, I just need help with building different styles. I can’t manage to get myself out of building medieval fantasy houses with moss roofs… but I do really want to try building other types of builds! I just have so much trouble
Succinct and informative; thanks for the great video. And I enjoy how your kingdom's coming along. PS: BluJay sent me from one of his series' videos, so your buddy's doin you right.
I'm actually surprised how many people are getting inspired by this video. My Discord has people trying out the techniques and such. 😂😂😂 I should have made this video long ago I guess. 🤷♂️
ik this vid was awhile ago but whn it comes to building i have trouble connecting my builds to the rest of the world without them looking tacky. Have you made a video on this or know a way i can fix this?
I hope you all enjoy this video, and I hope it helps you out. Thanks for watching.
Thanks Killa this was very helpful

Honestly I don’t know how to build but, it’s the building blocks that make it hard for me because I don’t know what blocks go with eachother.
Palette out your blocks, just place them out on the floor and if one seems to not look good replace it

I just wanna say that I really love your building style. It's complex and visually interesting without looking overly busy.
Starting with the roof is an EXCELLENT tip that helps me a lot when building smaller, similar houses to help them feel distinct
Man I like ur building style! Most ppl completely overfill their builds, but you keep it more calm. That's so nice!
My problem is ALWAYS the roof, but I never thought of doing before the walls, and it helps SO much, thanks 😊

Wow so much skill, ability and creativity condensed in 5 handy rules! Kudos!
Great video, might be a good side show to make building tutorials, but whatever is best for you we’ll roll with it ✌🏻✌🏻
Thank you! Glad you like it. And some building tutorials will be coming soon. 😁👍
I need to thank you for this video! If i could I’d thank you in person. These tips turned my game around, now instead of building symmetrical rectangular monoliths, I’m currently working on a multi level house that i think will be amazing. You’ve earned a like and a sub!
There’s so many ways to build but one of the best ways I like to do is keeping it simple; especially when starting building. Even simple builds can look good. I made a school house that looks great and it only took 3-4 blocks types (including stairs/slabs). Also another way to hide a flat wall is add a tree (custom or not).
Yep, adding leaves, trees, anything to make something not look flat definitely works.
I'll fully admit the part I struggle with the most is the texturing part because whenever it's a city and/or town build, all I see is a poorly maintained build, and how will the residents feel any confidence in their local government if it can't even maintain the basic infrastructure of their home, let alone their own houses and public buildings. More isolated builds like a farm, and especially ruins, I can tolerate because it actually makes sense for that weathered look to be there.
Um, decorating the walls, makin it look fancy or so on, I can do that in my sleep; but the texturing you pointed out here, I struggle with badly.
personally i always found random texturing the hardest, thats the only reason i added worldedit to my mods folder. i just mess around with various percentages until i find something that looks alright. although heres a question, if your building a medieval building and, lore wise, its also having just been built, so no weather damage for instance, do you think it would look better to not have any texturing in that case? i could see it going either way because on the one hand, its brand new, but on the other hand, its medieval and back then they werent great at building things compared to today, but idk if that should affect the build or not
Thank you! Ive never had a good imagination when it comes to builds in minecraft 😅 this has always been something ive wanted to work on
Ho visto tanti video per imparare a costruire ma questo ammetto che è stato il più utile, grazie mille ! (Translate from italian :)
Great delivery Killa Drone! I liked the little caption inserts. Nice style. I knew most of these, but not build the roofing first… I heard BluJay say that’s what you did on one of his videos and he seemed to be converted now… Will have to try this in my next build. 👍 When you mentioned calcite texturing with diorite, I personally prefer white concrete powder, feels more subtle imo.
3:38 bruh he said 9/11

Amazing video 🙏
You're the man at really explaining this to people. The tutorial was loads of help. Thank you so much!!
For a while I’ve struggled with builds until this vid
This is a really nice and comprehensible tutorial compared to some other youtube videos, it really helped me with building my recent house, however, I currently have a problem in which my builds simply put- dont look good. I have a really hard time making proper looking structures, and they often look janky. I'm wondering what your method is to doing this, whether or not the problem lies in layering outside details or pairing certain blocks together to create variations and scene. Any tips for this?
I would love to see your roof designs in a separate video!
Coming up soon. 😁👍
@@TheKDPlays you never posted this video
@@aaronzantingh4679 lmao
this is so good! ive been meaning to add some more builds/update old ones so ill keep this in mind!
Glad you like it. Definitely give these methods a try. I use them all the time. Makes building so much easier. 😁👍
Maybe finally I can be a better builder😁 Hoping the roof session coming soon (I am worthless on building roofs) Great tutorial!!
I definitely will be making a roof video soon. I have an old one on my channel, but I have learned a few new tricks to show, so definitely needs to be updated. 😁👍
honestly the first step for me is get some inspiration somewhere from literally anything small or big cause without inspiration you are gonna hate it when its finished and you wont put 110% effort into the build also on top of that if you don't have a general idea of what you want in your build most times you will end up overdoing it. I am not the best builder will never claim i am a good builder but i will say having inspiration for a build before even collecting the resources definitely helps ALOT ... at least for me
I dont consider myself a great builder at all but i knkw that trapdoors are amazing, i also really like to use stairs. Theres so many different designs and uses for stairs too
Thanks for the tips and inspiration! Can't wait to try these for myself in survival!

The magician reveals his secrets!!! Fantastic video dude! 👌🏻
Thanks bud! 😂 The magician revealed his secrets, now... I don't think I'm a magician anymore... I'm not really sure the rules on this... 😂😂😂
It's funny, I've watched a lot of videos and this one was one of the most helpful. It's fairly obvious but exactly what i was looking for
I’d be proud of that barracks my guy literally looks perfect also nice shaders.

bro definitly knew what he was doing
DEFFINETLY knew! 😅
3:38 the first 2 sure are odd numbers huh..........
2:02 looks a bit odd
As I was reading this comment it was the exact time 💀
@@IshallDEEESTROY idemm
Splendidly done ole chap. Thank you for the tutorial! Exactly the kind of video I needed.
Thank you! Glad you like it! I put a ton of time into the editing of this one, so I was a bit nervous about it. But it seems like even though it's lower in views, the people who have watched the video find it really helpful. So I'm super happy I could help. 😁👍
This is such a great video to make. Sharing this one with a bunch of friends.
Thank you so much. 😁 Always appreciate when you guys share the content. Helps the channel tremendously. And glad the video helped out. 😁👍
Oh my gosh, so helpful. I knew all of this already
Most helpful tutorial I have ever watched! thank you!
Great video Killa. This was officially my first Build guide from you. And you still taught me something new, I've been playing in my own world, and was lacking the motivation of building in a world no one will see. But after finding a really nice mountain and building area tonight. This video has made me wanna just go build something and see what happens.
Multiplayer server is my preferred platform on Minecraft.
Great video Killa, I'm off to gather resources lol.
Have fun!!! 😂😁👍
Some really useful topics here. Need to work on diagonal buildings and I guess it's all just shapes and planning.
Personally, I would never do the final version of texturing, because it always ends up looking terrible. It’s just too chaotic and it makes the whole build look bad, If roofs are flair and walls are style, then texturing is personality
incredibly underrated youtuber and guide!!
I have made houses of weird shapes but it came out to be greater . There are some blocks that makes unspeakable shapes look good. The shapes are easy to make I mean like adding curves, diagonal edges, and maybe so curved or circular structure. In shapes I would still follow grian
I don't quite understand the layout part, as sometimes when you lookup builds for inspiration you see people use non linear/non symetrical shapes. (uneven circles/ovals). How would you layout something like that with a linear shape? (the shapes used in the layout section of the video)
Examples: A island in the sky, A island in the ocean, A custom made fishing pond, A Volcano, etc...).
This is incredibly very helpful!! It's sad to know that your not well known in this app.
I know how to build, I just need help with building different styles. I can’t manage to get myself out of building medieval fantasy houses with moss roofs… but I do really want to try building other types of builds! I just have so much trouble
you can use sqares
Thank you so much for this Killa!
No problem. 😁👍
Very helpful and underestimated video! Keep up the good worl!
Just found your channel. New subscriber here. Great tips for building. I will try building my roof first instead of the walls.
Succinct and informative; thanks for the great video. And I enjoy how your kingdom's coming along. PS: BluJay sent me from one of his series' videos, so your buddy's doin you right.
BluJay is a good dude. Love that guy. Thanks for coming to check out the video. 😁👍
As good as trapdoors may be, but my friends often mess around those, which is why I don't use them (except for iron trapdoors).

Nice! Very helpful. I've been waiting for something like this (from you) for a while Killa. Thanks for the tips and keep em comin plz.
I'm actually surprised how many people are getting inspired by this video. My Discord has people trying out the techniques and such. 😂😂😂 I should have made this video long ago I guess. 🤷♂️
When I was younger I was all productivity builds in minecraft and I THOUGHT THAT WAS OKAY LOL
This video has ben verry useful and instructive to me. Thank you !
omg!1!! didn't know that towers were tall this is so useful1!1!!!
Thank you!!
Nice really helpful thank you
No problem. Happy to help. 😁👍
thanks my buildings look better than before
Thanks for the tips
No problem. Hope they help. 😁👍
I make random shape on the ground but i make sure that its numberically correct and it somehow works
I feel like my dad is teaching me how to do an oil change.
Stop!!, dont do that!.
Great video👌
What are the blue wools in the layout used for?
I got a building tournament next week gonna grind your vids.
I hate building roofs I always mess them up somehow.
Ur so underrated! Really nice video, it helped me alot
The roof tip IS SOO GOOD
Yeah!
Helped me soooooo much
This is so helpful!!!
Glad it was helpful! I've been needing to make this video for a while, finally got it done and I couldn't be happier with the result. 😁
i fell in love with the layout here, truly amazing work. keep it up! 1:26
i havent a clue what i wanna build tho😭
@@tommyd6142 same but i guess i have to start first
Me too lol
@@tommyd6142 Make a simple outline. Something will come to mind.
Just go to google and search medieval house or modern house
Can you apply these techniques to modern style builds
Thank u so much this really helped
This is the most helpful video ever that I you so much watching this video help me make my first half decent build
ik this vid was awhile ago but whn it comes to building i have trouble connecting my builds to the rest of the world without them looking tacky. Have you made a video on this or know a way i can fix this?
A good roof is usally results in a good build
game changer 🔥
Thank you! Great tips. I’ll be using them
They really are fundamental tips. They help so much for making builds. Glad you enjoyed. 😁👍
