You all voted for some house building tips/guide so hopefully this video delivers some helpful tips for building houses. Let me know what build guide/tips you would like to see next in the comments. Have an awesome day everyone =)
Hey BlueNerd i know you are very busy at the moment but i just wanted to ask you if you have a new big building Tutorial series on mind? It's just because i realy love your Tutorials so i was curious about it🙃. Much Love from Germany and stay healthy and Safe 🤗
I still think it would be awesome to see how you plan out the negative space between all of the buildings in a custom village/town/city. Those spaces really make the livable environment more alive. Thanks again for these videos. Hoping to use these tips in creating a custom town.
Thank you Billy, I have a new big tutorial series starting very soon. It has a whole town, including many houses, shops, a church , a castle and so much more =)
i took a break from minecraft and some friends started a server, but everything i knew about building just disappeared so i've been living in the side of a mountain because i didn't like anything i built, i really needed this video haha, thank you!
Hey man, living in the side of a mountain is not bad, all my houses are into the side of mountains. You just have to decorate well the exterior windows
Bruh, the opposite happened to me! After my 1 year break from Minecraft, I literally built a fvcking mansion (or a detailed barn that is) that was detailed to the brim. Before my break, I didn't even knew after 90% of what I'm building now.
One tip: start your first project. Don't care if it turned out to be pure garbeg. Just go ahead and make your first project. So you can get some expirience, learn with your mistakes, try new things. If you wait until you become good to stard doing something, you wil never do it. Start bad, but star. You will improve over time.
I agree I just attempted my first ever medieval house and it’s not perfect but I think it’s pretty good for a beginner I also left myself note on where I can improve to get better
This channel brought me from building plank boxes to multiple story houses with intricate designs and decorations. I might not be a pro, but I'm pretty happy with what Ive been able to build, so thank you blue nerd! This is probably my favorite minecraft building channel, you seem like a really chill guy and you're great at explaiming what you're doing:)
Hi Blue, just a suggestion, could you do tips or time-lapse or something like that for custom trees or custom forests (And different types like spruce or dark oak). Great work as always!
I love how you made so many types and styles of houses out of the same basic footprint. Seeing all the variations that happen just by changing roofs, decorative details, balconies, etc. really helps us understand how to create unique possibilities!✨
@@Sweaty-Pancakes I mean kinda? It was like a basement home with no upper levels. Had farms, villagers, enchanting, tons of storage, mineshafts... Lately I've been living outside within a fence because I'm so focused on clearing my land that I've not real property on it lol. I built a hovel inside a giant mushroom and a three-story house (but I used a prebuilt guide for it). I also built an enderman playground... underground. Idk I just am underground a lot lmao.
Hi blue! I’ve been playing MC for over 10 years now, and I’ve been wanting to improve my building skills. This tutorial was a godsend, you show amazing examples of principles to apply to building and explaining why stuff works. So happy I found your channel and videos!!!
Ever since I started watching you, I learnt how to build way better. Other people builds were very complicated with the shapes, roof and the sizes but you kept your builds simple while still making it look like a masterpiece.
Tysm! I just discovered your channel and after watching 3 videos, I can say I'm thoroughly impressed 🌟 Sorry this isn't much, but just wanted to say thanks for all the helpful guides/tutorials that you do ❤️ They certainly help me.
Been learning minecraft, partly for the creative need to build stuff, mostly because my students keep talking about it and I got curious, and now I'm trying to build a fantasy city to help with my GM-ing, and this is hands down the most helpful video I've found for building structures! Thank you!!
It always took me forever to come up with new designs for houses because I thought using the same layout would be too repetitive. Thank you for opening up so many possibilities for me!
I think a major issue of builds like that is, at least for me - the interior. I often end up with sth looking great on the outside but not being able to fit the number of floors i want or the size being too small to properly connect the rooms or different levels of the house etc.
I’ve noticed the opposite for myself my exterior either doesn’t match the vibe or just looks bad even with all the tutorials but my interior always looks exactly the way I want and I’ve never watched a tutorial
That's an old comment but I'll reply anyway. Try adding moss instead of carpets and use the trapdoors and signs to decorate your shelves, crafting tables, beds, chairs and tables etc. You can also put many many item frames on your walls with things inside them that complement your colour palette as well as signs with texts on them that look like shapes (ascii art). Also mixed glazed terracotta floors look great with dark wood furniture.
LOL! I am the exact opposite! Which is why I always build everything underground! If I build the interior the way I want, the outside is hideous. So I just gave up and for years built all my homes underground. I hate it. Love this guy's video
I used to (and still do) struggle with interiors so for practice I tried what I call the etho method - honestly I’m not even sure if it was from him originally however I distinctly remember an odd concept he did. From what I recall he built the interior first, no exterior. I use this quite a bit before making a shell of the exterior around it, they don’t have to fit exactly but being aware of the interior proportions allows some wiggle room in build size. Hope this helps!
I love these types of videos! I've learned so much from so many wonderful builders and it's so crucial to actually pay attention while also keeping in mind that changing materials to fit your aesthetic is absolutely acceptable! I follow tutorials all the time and switch materials i don't have or like and i add or subtract as well to suit my needs and preferences. A tip id love to add is if you're going for a realistic feel, consider paths or building corners and how they wear down over time. Using more "torn" like blocks such as cobblestone, coarse dirt, etc
@@adoreyou7449 cheese and crackers UA-cam sucks at notifying me of replies i only just saw this because someone liked my comment. That being said, yes he was my beautiful Galaxy plakat. Unfortunately he died from a disease that's common among the fish world. Caught it too late but he lived a wonder nearly 4 years and could jump a smidge out of the water for treats lol it was actually about a month ago. Your comment was wonderful and brought me smiles 😊 thank you so much!! Have a wonderful day and again, please forgive me for replying only now. UA-cam never notified me of your kind comment
I’ve watched a lot of “House Building” videos for Minecraft and this is best one I’ve seen. I watched it through 3 times to get a good understanding of your ideas. Awesome video, well done.
Love watching your videos for ideas. Not a particular fan of your texture packs or some of your aesthetic choices, but the builds are amazing and easily customizable. Which is one of the reasons I enjoy these. A quick change of materials, an addition here or a substraction there, and it looks so different. Definitely earned my sub.
A year later, but I found this video recently and it's a godsend! There are plenty of great builders on UA-cam but very few who actually know how to break down what they're doing so that a complete novice can make sense of it. I started with the roof tips video, and now I'm going to use this one as an exercise as well. Thank you so much for helping someone with no artistic background get into the building side of Minecraft!
This is fantastic for ideas. The roofs are always a sticking point when I am building a structure as I always second guess myself with is this tall enough or to short and needs to be bigger. The biggest thing for me is the odd number as I seem to have to catch myself sliding back to even numbers which makes things ultra hard. Then have to tear it down and start over as I can never recover from it in my head. I love the way you show how one basic structure can have many faces. Now on that would you every make the tower taller? Or maybe extend the stables to the side with a small black smith in the back? I am also trying to start a small harbor town with a main bridge across to another mainland coast. Thank You for doing this and showing how to think out side the box to try and make fabulous builds from our imagination. Keep up the fantastic work Blue and can not wait for your next video
Thank you David, i'm glad you enjoyed it buddy. Roofs can be pretty tough but I think sometimes it's easy to over think it and talk yourself out of an idea that might actually work out really nice. I used to do that a lot to, but now I always try to just go with an idea and finish it as many times those ideas turn out better than we expect. Harbour towns are so much fun to do, I think they are one of my favourite things build, I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun building it. Thanks buddy =)
Such a big problem with creative works is self-doubt. Personally I never really figured how to dispel it, but if I were to guess a good way to reduce that is by expanding your knowledge on the work you’re trying to do.
@@TwistedFireX Good guess, that -- while it may not be possible to dispel all doubt (I think doubt is pretty natural for anyone who constantly pushes their own envelope and doesn't have an arrogant personality), the more you engage with the work, the better. IME building in creative mode really helps develop one's confidence. You have no distraction from mobs trying to kill you, you don't have to wrangle the resources first, you don't need to tear anything down, you can leave it standing, so you can compare 2 or 3 or more versions side-by-side and can observe what works and what doesn't. (And it's fun to come back a year or two or three later and see how much you have grown as a builder.) Practice is the key. Designing in survival is for people who need the additional challenges. ;)
You are amazing. Actually taking time to talk it out, show details, show examples as well instead of showing finished products. This helped so much man.
This is incredibly helpful! The problem for me is not freestanding buildings though, but making buildings work well together, when they are connected for example. Could you do a video on how to connect buildings in different ways?
I'll try and put something together Kevin, I think that it would make a very useful video as I have had many people ask me how to connect buildings, so I'll see what I can do. Thanks buddy =)
i didnt think it was possible to even find a genuinely useful building tutorial, but this is it for sure. excellent work, seriously an outstanding guide.
I loved this style of tutorial. Walking us through step by step really helped me to understand the concepts you were sharing. For suggestions a tutorial of custom large trees like we saw in your swamp. For a full build Id love to see a zoo, aquarium or green house.
this is just *chefs kiss* i've always wondered if people would be interested in buying physical/electronic how-to books for builds. perhaps like the lego instruction booklets? it would be fun to create and sell. though i'm not convinced i have cool enough builds for this so perhaps those with expert builds would be willing to share their ideas for a share of the profit? no idea. just shower thoughts.
Thank you for this amazing video! super helpful. I've always made boxy house- would never liked them, eventually end up abandoning em. This video has literally opened my eyes to some such basic concepts that I never even considered. My internal debate never went past the biome and the color palette. Thank you again for sharing this!!
Seriously, such an awesome video. I hadn't played in almost a decade, and my builds were all looking the same! I need heavy inspiration to get going, and this has given me so many wonderful ideas.
This is a great demonstration of how much difference small changes can make. Loved this video. I also like to use composters and barrels to add detail to log frames.
Thank you Dreyma, I think sometimes building gets overthought so hopefully this video will help some builders realise that even small changes can make the world of difference. Composter and barrels are great additions to detail buildings or frames especially at the base or frame connection points =)
Your building guide videos have been the best thing that has happened to my Minecraft build style. You are incredible... THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
I'm so glad I found this video in my recommended tab, I was struggling to come up with anything to build and now I just spent the past 6 hours making a tavern/in for a village I want to make. Most of the time I suck at building but this was a fantastic find and helped me get more confident in my ability to build. Thank you
Awesome tips/tutorial vid! Next could you do tips on building and detailing castles? I always find myself stuck when trying to build a castle because of the sheer size of them. Also its really hard to find out how to get a good base design to build off of.
I have been following your channel for about a year now and you have truly made me a better builder and I love seeing your builds and new things you create. Thank you and great work!
I think I am playing Minecraft since 2018 or maybe 2016 I don't remember but I never really was a person that was into building soo I know you will get bored fast when you only stick to one play Style in Videogames(and having no friends to play with D: ) and that happened in the result of not playing for a year or maybe a little longer. After I got back to the game... I thought maybe I start practicing my building skills (which are terrible lol) but I didn't know where to start.. The first thing I did was just random builds I do in survival mode that are turning out pretty ugly(there are people building beautiful houses in survival so that must be a sign that I suck) and now I found this video..., I know where to start! The first rule of ever building a house is the floorplan or whatever its called. And just add a base for the house/build and then after the details and what you explained in the Video :D So thank you so much your a Lifesaver for me rn
I swear, this is the best video I have found. I have been looking for so long and all the other stuff is just tutorials for houses. This actually tells you different designs than can be used anywhere
It’s so interesting to study the houses in your neighborhood. Where I grew up there was 2 styles of houses (and each were mirrored) built in the 50s, then they had all different extensions. Where I live now they are all over the place. There’s some tiny houses with expansions for a fridge, a bunch of similar houses of mid size, and then some random very large houses
@@BlueNerdMC been really busy, work and all that, also grinding in the evenings and weekends to keep producing content, it's been tough but I'm hopeful it'll eventually be worth it 🙂 How are things with you? I see you're heading towards the 500k sub mark, must be exciting!? 😁
Yeah it's not easy running a job and doing UA-cam but stick with it. It takes time, but studying analytics is the best way to learn what your audience like most and that's what you should target most videos towards. I'm doing great thanks, seems a little crazy to see those numbers. I never expected the channel to come this far so I'm super thankful for all the support I've received. I'll have to plan something very special for 500K =)
@@BlueNerdMC that's exactly what I've been trying, testing everything out and finding a good balance, I've got a theory though why my international growth is slightly stunned and slowed down so much, and even a VPN couldn't help fix that, there's unfortunately not a large audience for our content in my country, so I'm struggling quite a bit to reach the audience that's out there... But won't give up, you're a great example and inspiration! I really appreciate you taking the time to reply with such a thoughtful weighted comment 🙂 Keep at it buddy, keep going with the momentum, I know that there a big things waiting for you out there! You could always plan a collab with an IRL architect for a video for special occasions 😉
As a pro builder this really opened my eyes up to building houses since te what nots were always my biggest issue so I mainly specialized in caves, roofs, and interior decoration. but now doing something like how you brought it up changed my view completely. Buddy I wanna say thank you and as a token of appreciation I wanna do a small challange. Thanks to Minecraft and Chills awesome seed video I wanna give you some seed ideas and maybe you can make a transformation video?
As somebody who finally admitted that they're not good at building well.....anything these videos I've found on your channel have been really helpful. Most other people I've watched don't really explain things very well or they're like do this do that but with your videos you go into detailed explanations which works so much better. I actually feel confident now going into a test world and attempting some small designs now
Thank you Blue - that was a very precious collection of tips! I will try it out, I love to create my own builds, but your work is a huge inspiration. So I really appreciate your effort and generosity.
I love building tips like this. My building "style" is very simplistic. I always build a 6x6 or 4x4 chunks pyramid base using the same pallet every time (obsidian, red nether brick, Quartz brick, then amethyst. Going one block higher every time.) Then I use some sea lanterns on the sides, then some going up from the door to the top. Then I use some Deepslate tiles to add some color variation. It may seem very complicated, but it always looks very simplistic. Even when I add beacons and a nice flooring. I also love changing it up sometimes. So, building tutorials for that style are very useful. You've earned a subscriber.
hey bluenerd, love your tips and tricks videos!! I would love to see a video for tips and tricks for bridge designs. i'm terrible at deciding what shapes to make them over longer distances in particular but styles is also an issue.
As a person who just enjoys building with friends on the same world for long times, it’s so cool seeing how my style and skill changes after practice, i made my best house using your tutorials. Thank you for the tutorial.
This is a fantastic guide!! You really show how basic principles like shape and color and depth can be applied creatively to create much more complex and interesting builds!
This is the best build tutorial video I have ever seen. It was very peaceful and it shows similarities and differences that change the details in many ways.
So when it comes to more abstract shapes for the ground plan, I find that I'm constantly battling to figure out how the roof joins up with all the different pieces. Do you have any tips on how to handle roofs with more unique shaped buildings, especially ones that seem to come in from different directions?
This comment is a little bit old but I suggest building 1 normal ‘main roof’ first, and then slowly connecting the other bits to it one by one if that makes sense
This video has literally changed my life. All the other videos I’ve watched are so vague “Just add detailing” “choose a good color palette” but don’t go into much detail and I couldn’t understand it, nothing ever clicked. But this video genuinely did wonders for me. Getting to see things step by step and have it all explained to me really helped, It inspired me to go back to Minecraft after getting frustrated from my lack of building knowledge. I’ve played the game for many many years but was never good at building and it always made me feel awful to see how everyone else was so talented and I always fell behind. Especially since I’ve never had Java only playing on Xbox or tablet. But I hope to do better, and improve my building with everything I’ve learned. I hope one day I will be there with other amazing videos and I can talk about how this video inspired and changed everything for me
Hey! Recently discovered your channel, thanks for all the building tips and designs. I have a hard time visualising the plan, so this helps a lot, makes me know what to do, and still do it in my own style :) Just a quick question, do you use replay mod to record your tutorials or a spectator? Not sure if you answered this somewhere already :) Thank you!
I used to play Minecraft growing up and stopped for a few years. I started thinking it was old and weird but I bought it again a few days ago and im addicted to playing it again. This is a good video! :)

I'll try and put something together Kevin, I think that it would make a very useful video as I have had many people ask me how to connect buildings, so I'll see what I can do. Thanks buddy =)
Yes, I particularly like some of the archways in his medieval cities. Reminds me of cities in some of the larger mmorpgs.
I have problems with towers
i didnt think it was possible to even find a genuinely useful building tutorial, but this is it for sure. excellent work, seriously an outstanding guide.
I loved this style of tutorial. Walking us through step by step really helped me to understand the concepts you were sharing. For suggestions a tutorial of custom large trees like we saw in your swamp. For a full build Id love to see a zoo, aquarium or green house.
Two days ago i started my own village and I think these tips will help me for sure.
this is just *chefs kiss* i've always wondered if people would be interested in buying physical/electronic how-to books for builds. perhaps like the lego instruction booklets? it would be fun to create and sell. though i'm not convinced i have cool enough builds for this so perhaps those with expert builds would be willing to share their ideas for a share of the profit? no idea. just shower thoughts.
Thank you for this amazing video! super helpful. I've always made boxy house- would never liked them, eventually end up abandoning em. This video has literally opened my eyes to some such basic concepts that I never even considered. My internal debate never went past the biome and the color palette. Thank you again for sharing this!!
Seriously, such an awesome video. I hadn't played in almost a decade, and my builds were all looking the same! I need heavy inspiration to get going, and this has given me so many wonderful ideas.
This is a great demonstration of how much difference small changes can make. Loved this video. I also like to use composters and barrels to add detail to log frames.
Thank you Dreyma, I think sometimes building gets overthought so hopefully this video will help some builders realise that even small changes can make the world of difference. Composter and barrels are great additions to detail buildings or frames especially at the base or frame connection points =)
@@BlueNerdMC You are so right.
Something I really like doing is Building Like it's a lego set.
Layer 1- floor
Layer 2- floor detail and layout
etc
One of the best building videos I have ever watched! Thank you so much!
*6/5 star rating*
Thank you so much Kyle =)
This is a great video because you give real tips instead of making step by step copies of your build. Thanks man really gonna step my game up
i really like this gradual additions! it makes it easy to follow and helps get a better understanding of what makes a complex house. a+ video
One of the best tuts ive seen, other youtubers like grian confused me a bit, dont know why tho, thx!
Your building guide videos have been the best thing that has happened to my Minecraft build style. You are incredible... THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
I'm so glad I found this video in my recommended tab, I was struggling to come up with anything to build and now I just spent the past 6 hours making a tavern/in for a village I want to make. Most of the time I suck at building but this was a fantastic find and helped me get more confident in my ability to build. Thank you
Awesome tips/tutorial vid! Next could you do tips on building and detailing castles? I always find myself stuck when trying to build a castle because of the sheer size of them. Also its really hard to find out how to get a good base design to build off of.
I have been following your channel for about a year now and you have truly made me a better builder and I love seeing your builds and new things you create. Thank you and great work!
I am always blown away by your tutorials. Thank you so much
I think I am playing Minecraft since 2018 or maybe 2016 I don't remember but I never really was a person that was into building soo I know you will get bored fast when you only stick to one play Style in Videogames(and having no friends to play with D: ) and that happened in the result of not playing for a year or maybe a little longer. After I got back to the game... I thought maybe I start practicing my building skills (which are terrible lol) but I didn't know where to start.. The first thing I did was just random builds I do in survival mode that are turning out pretty ugly(there are people building beautiful houses in survival so that must be a sign that I suck) and now I found this video..., I know where to start! The first rule of ever building a house is the floorplan or whatever its called. And just add a base for the house/build and then after the details and what you explained in the Video :D So thank you so much your a Lifesaver for me rn
Great video, your able to have a simple design outline but detail it into a masterpiece
I swear, this is the best video I have found. I have been looking for so long and all the other stuff is just tutorials for houses. This actually tells you different designs than can be used anywhere
You're insane! This is super inspiring to see, and I can't wait to create some awesome builds in the 1.18 update! THANK YOU
It’s so interesting to study the houses in your neighborhood. Where I grew up there was 2 styles of houses (and each were mirrored) built in the 50s, then they had all different extensions.
Where I live now they are all over the place. There’s some tiny houses with expansions for a fridge, a bunch of similar houses of mid size, and then some random very large houses
Hi buddy, it's been a while 🙂
I'm definitely going to be paying close attention, will most likely use many of your tips! ✌🏻
Thanks buddy, it has been a while. How you doing? =)
@@BlueNerdMC been really busy, work and all that, also grinding in the evenings and weekends to keep producing content, it's been tough but I'm hopeful it'll eventually be worth it 🙂
How are things with you? I see you're heading towards the 500k sub mark, must be exciting!? 😁
Yeah it's not easy running a job and doing UA-cam but stick with it. It takes time, but studying analytics is the best way to learn what your audience like most and that's what you should target most videos towards.
I'm doing great thanks, seems a little crazy to see those numbers. I never expected the channel to come this far so I'm super thankful for all the support I've received. I'll have to plan something very special for 500K =)
@@BlueNerdMC that's exactly what I've been trying, testing everything out and finding a good balance, I've got a theory though why my international growth is slightly stunned and slowed down so much, and even a VPN couldn't help fix that, there's unfortunately not a large audience for our content in my country, so I'm struggling quite a bit to reach the audience that's out there... But won't give up, you're a great example and inspiration!
I really appreciate you taking the time to reply with such a thoughtful weighted comment 🙂
Keep at it buddy, keep going with the momentum, I know that there a big things waiting for you out there!
You could always plan a collab with an IRL architect for a video for special occasions 😉
i have a lot of respect for people like you who don't just give one example and call it done but instead go in depth and go over multiple examples
Exactly what I needed, easy to follow and very helpful. Thank you!
Blue don't ever stop bro . Your tips and style are always welcome
As a pro builder this really opened my eyes up to building houses since te what nots were always my biggest issue so I mainly specialized in caves, roofs, and interior decoration. but now doing something like how you brought it up changed my view completely. Buddy I wanna say thank you and as a token of appreciation I wanna do a small challange. Thanks to Minecraft and Chills awesome seed video I wanna give you some seed ideas and maybe you can make a transformation video?
As somebody who finally admitted that they're not good at building well.....anything these videos I've found on your channel have been really helpful. Most other people I've watched don't really explain things very well or they're like do this do that but with your videos you go into detailed explanations which works so much better. I actually feel confident now going into a test world and attempting some small designs now
11:52 hit me like a truck. Ridiculously epic
The reason I subscribed. No words for this guy! Too good.
Tysm blue for these amazing tip it really helps me alot and also it mean a lot to us so tysm!!💙🎀💙
Danke!
Thank you so much for the thanks Aryana 😀
@@BlueNerdMC Just a small support for great work ☺
Thank you Blue - that was a very precious collection of tips! I will try it out, I love to create my own builds, but your work is a huge inspiration. So I really appreciate your effort and generosity.
I love building tips like this. My building "style" is very simplistic. I always build a 6x6 or 4x4 chunks pyramid base using the same pallet every time (obsidian, red nether brick, Quartz brick, then amethyst. Going one block higher every time.) Then I use some sea lanterns on the sides, then some going up from the door to the top. Then I use some Deepslate tiles to add some color variation. It may seem very complicated, but it always looks very simplistic. Even when I add beacons and a nice flooring.
I also love changing it up sometimes. So, building tutorials for that style are very useful. You've earned a subscriber.
LOVE these tips! The cyan roofs are my faves :P
Can you show some double layered interior tips?
Blue just put out an excellent interior video a month ago that might be just what you’re looking for!
Minecraft Veteran Here And His Tutorials Still Teach Me ❤
This is hands down the best Minecraft tutorial I’ve ever seen. This helped me a lot, instant subs for your great explanations and wonderful builds!
This ist a Like worth i was stun how beautiful the buildings are. Good Work
I simply love your artistic style and your eye for detail. I also love the way you convey your thoughts and ideas verbally. Very inspirational.
Very valuable lesson here, thank you! I can't wait to get back to my bland builds to jazz them up a bit!
Love these practical useful tips! Thanks
Thank you Inge, I'm glad they was helpful =)
potentially the most helpful and informative noob to pro video i've ever seen
hey bluenerd, love your tips and tricks videos!! I would love to see a video for tips and tricks for bridge designs. i'm terrible at deciding what shapes to make them over longer distances in particular but styles is also an issue.
As a person who just enjoys building with friends on the same world for long times, it’s so cool seeing how my style and skill changes after practice, i made my best house using your tutorials. Thank you for the tutorial.
This is a fantastic guide!! You really show how basic principles like shape and color and depth can be applied creatively to create much more complex and interesting builds!
Thanks for this video! It feels like i got artblocked which i cant build and i feel like my style is now obsolete. This really helps a lot.
I really love these building tips! Thank you for putting in this work for us!
This is the best build tutorial video I have ever seen. It was very peaceful and it shows similarities and differences that change the details in many ways.
So when it comes to more abstract shapes for the ground plan, I find that I'm constantly battling to figure out how the roof joins up with all the different pieces. Do you have any tips on how to handle roofs with more unique shaped buildings, especially ones that seem to come in from different directions?
This comment is a little bit old but I suggest building 1 normal ‘main roof’ first, and then slowly connecting the other bits to it one by one if that makes sense
This video has literally changed my life. All the other videos I’ve watched are so vague “Just add detailing” “choose a good color palette” but don’t go into much detail and I couldn’t understand it, nothing ever clicked. But this video genuinely did wonders for me. Getting to see things step by step and have it all explained to me really helped, It inspired me to go back to Minecraft after getting frustrated from my lack of building knowledge. I’ve played the game for many many years but was never good at building and it always made me feel awful to see how everyone else was so talented and I always fell behind. Especially since I’ve never had Java only playing on Xbox or tablet. But I hope to do better, and improve my building with everything I’ve learned. I hope one day I will be there with other amazing videos and I can talk about how this video inspired and changed everything for me
Nice, these are the types of videos I love.
Only discovered your channel the other day and I’m learning a bunch. Thank you so much!
Amazing blue!!!! I love how your always the best at builds 🤗
Thank you Laura, I'm glad you enjoyed it =)
what I like about this tutorial is that it is not copying and pasting a house step by step but it teaches you how to actually do it
please show the house without rtx or shaders on, just to see what it would really look like for us bedrock players
Amazing job Blue!
Hey! Recently discovered your channel, thanks for all the building tips and designs. I have a hard time visualising the plan, so this helps a lot, makes me know what to do, and still do it in my own style :)
Just a quick question, do you use replay mod to record your tutorials or a spectator? Not sure if you answered this somewhere already :) Thank you!
The best tip for building in Minecraft is to practice. People need to understand that too.
Loved the video! Do the interior next please :)
This is genuinely fantastic. Thanks so much!!!!
This guy kinda sounds like a offbrand Jason Statham...
Thank you this helped a lot. I know how to build I just don’t know how to add depth or even know what to do with the interior
The hardest thing for me is make the roof fits nice with diferents shapes
Love your tips, currently trying to build a base from a Sears house plan I googled.
Villager:yo can i live in your house
BlueNerd your helping me so much in Minecraft
about the layout, do I just make everything random?
That sounds fun! But he said he does it by a balance. So if it looks bland one spot. You probably should add a room or balcony or sum
These Houses are to die for. i got genuinely emotional watching this
As a wise lilsimsie once said: "Make a fancy box"
This one video was so incredibly helpful, I don't even have words. Thank you, Blue.
This was a really good tutorial!
Is it possible for you to provide a download for this world?
Thank you Quixotic, i'm sorry but world downloads are only available for patreons and UA-cam channel members
@@BlueNerdMC No problem :) And once again thanks for making this guide!
I used to play Minecraft growing up and stopped for a few years. I started thinking it was old and weird but I bought it again a few days ago and im addicted to playing it again. This is a good video! :)
Did anyone else notice that the layout looks like snoopy from the side?
i literally love you i’ve improved so much at building just by watching this
