I want to respond to every comment, but I'm having trouble keeping up with the unexpected attention this video is getting! It's certainly not the worst problem to have hahaha
If I don't get to yours, consider this my thank you!
Hi how to you get with those half beds
@@Chicken_SoyDebug stick I believe
@Chicken_Soy Yup, I used the debug stick. You can get it by typing /give username debug_stick. Left click a block to cycle modifiers for that block, right click to change the block with the selected modifier.
this video really proves to me how minecraft is literally an art medium, its all paint and youre painting a very beautiful scene here, thanks a lot
I like this perspective! I think there is a certain social beauty to Minecraft that makes it quite unique as a medium in that way. I can't think of many games or spaces that reward the sharing of creative passion as directly as Minecraft.
Thank you for the lovely comment!
i've always thought this too. Minecraft for me is much more about "painting a scene" than building an actual thing!
@@lourencovieira5424true!
Yeah, most minecraft players are artists
@@user-ms1jt6kl9dnah, it's the other way around... so many people play mimecraft that the majority don't consider themselves artists, but most artists I know (including myself) do play minecraft 😂
a real minecraft video, no mr beast type excitement and thumbnails, just calm and genuine
I really hate how many UA-camrs don’t talk, but yell. “HELLO GUYS WE’RE PLAYING MINECRAFT!!!” This is such a breath of fresh air.
genuine
I agree, the talking is relaxing and makes sence. Not yelling and 10 cuts per second so your attention span rots away.
What kind of youtubers are y'all watching lmao.
These ones are really the best, they're relaxing to watch.
@@luznoceda.2020 i dont watch loud-mouth youtubers. Its just that I see and hear of them everywhere
I love how lively and airy the interior is. It's not just visually Mediterranean, but in atmosphere as well, if that makes any sense.
It does make sense!
the entire video felt like getting home from school as a child and rushing to the tv to watch my favorite cartoons :)
Oddly specific yet extremely flattering observation! That feeling is so precious. Thank you!
the down to earth, personal youtube that feels like a warm hug. Loved your video so much!
Thanks! The temptation to make something more clinical and algorithm-driven is definitely there sometimes haha. But this is so much more rewarding.
@@SuperSideKian personally i prefer it this way, it's more authentic. Your building style is amazing also :0 learnt a lot of stuff with your video even though i've been building for 10 years lol
I just wanted to mention that you’re a great speaker and easily kept me engaged throughout the entire video. As someone who isn’t that proficient in talking, this was inspiring to watch/listen to.
I'm so happy that my commentary inspired you! As someone who gained a lot of confidence from watching Minecraft commentary, it means a lot to me to now reciprocate that!
Shag carpet, shoe space, and raised flooring at 21:11 is crazy. Dope build.
I hate modern Minecraft video editing and I’ve really enjoyed finding videos of people just doing their thing in Minecraft without constant bell sounds, bright colours and the fact that ‘most people haven’t smashed subscribe with their elbow’. This is really nice and it’s made me want to think more and more about interior design in Minecraft. Awesome video, you’re really nice to listen to and this build feels very alive and homely. I’ll be taking notes :o) 🖤🖤
Oh same. I h8 how those videos feel try-hard … making everything an active visual & auditorial experience. I just want the journey.
I absolutely LOVE the huge array of blocks you used to make this, instead of just using a set pallet of blocks. Even using blocks that doesn't go well in most situations like glazed terracotta went super well with everything!
I also loved when you used GLOW LICHEN to make a carpet and the KELP to make a bedsheet, it looks great! Amazing video. ❤
this is sooooo gorgeous omfg and so comfy. ur building style is absolutely beautiful i got so nostalgic when you made the bridge narrower idk why
Thank you! I too get deja vu from the strangest things sometimes hahaha
This type of idea is something that I've been struggling with as well, and its why I personally think that my best builds come out when I'm half asleep, because I stop caring about making everything line up, or be exact with how I want it to be, instead, I'm just building to build. It seems like such a small change to stop caring about perfection, but it makes a great difference in the quality of builds that I put out.
Keep doing more videos for you.
Love this. Seeing betacraft content, and more slow paced videos becoming a little more popular gives me hope for the future of the minecraft community ❤
Thank you for giving me the minecraft content I’ve been looking for for the past year. Most other minecraft content is too fast and, idk, too much, sensory overload. Thank you for making me feel like I’m watching old minecraft videos again.
Thanks for the comment! I definitely feel the same way a lot of the time. Sometimes I go back and watch old Team Canada (Etho + Beef + Pause) series' to relax. Hermitcraft season 10 has also been a pleasure to watch recently.
💚
Best recommended UA-cam video I have ever gotten props to you. I don’t build a lot but it is so fun watching you build; never thought watching someone talk and build would be so fun. You deserve way more than 800 subs lol your content is so genuine unlike most UA-camrs and it is inspiring watching you doing something new (don’t see it very often mostly just reposted Tik tok edits) in a unrewarding algorithm. You truly are an amazing UA-camr and can’t wait to watch more.
Thank you! If you enjoyed my talking and building, you'll probably love EthosLab. He's a big inspiration behind how I do commentary... and how I build!
You might also enjoy BdoubleO100's "Building with Bdubs" series if the more technical side of building appeals to you at all
@@SuperSideKian bdubs is a massive inspiration to me i love him
@@SuperSideKianNo way man, good memories. Watched bdub to death haha, ethoslab is amazing too. Loved the vid, got really inspired by your building and message :)
keep up the vids. Good luck on you that the algorithm gave you a blessing haha, you deserve it!
This video was great I'm so glad it ended up in my reccomended.
Thanks! I'm happy you found it!
As a person who struggles with perfectionism this helped. I usually try to do something that is ambiguous and timely and try to get myself into every single detail. but as I've found in Minecraft you can't be as detailed to you're own satisfaction all the time, some things will always just look a little off and that's ok.
This was a really beautiful video, such a calm energy and such a beautiful build... I'm very thankful to the algorithm for bringing me here. I would love to see more videos in this format!
Thanks! I wasn't expecting the video to reach any new people, so this is a wonderful surprise
Really appreciate that you have taken time to create your own style, not just what people click on. Keep it going man, love your work.
I watched this video from start to finfish without skipping anything, though I paused here and there. You not making this video for anyone but yourself actually was interesting for me. I agree, that this one shot in the hallway was quite nice. This video felt genuine. And only a few videos at all feel like anything.
Edit: Wow. When I watched this video it was like a day old, and had 16 views.
This means a lot, thank you! The idea of "genuine" content certainly feels more and more like an issue on this site as the business model of UA-cam evolves -- especially given the rise of generative AI. Don't lose hope, though! As long as Minecraft exists, there will always be people somewhere sharing their genuine passion for it. At least, that's what I like to think.
If you're having a hard time finding Minecraft stuff to watch, I highly recommend EthosLab. He's been a significant inspiration for me for many years
My gosh, what a refreshing and enjoyable video! Most Minecraft building content nowadays is all time lapses, fast-paced cinematics, and hurried commentary with no time to stop and smell the flowers.
But this video is so chill, well-paced, and genuinely insightful and informative. This is actually one reason why I really love Bdub's videos, because he spends just as much time talking about building as he does actually building. I want the talking, I want the insight, I want to hear about the reasoning behind every decision and every problem that needed to be solved. I want to hear about the techniques and the style that's being used.
Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of incredible builders in this game, but it feels like finding people who slow down to explain their process is so rare. Thank you for being one of those people!
I love Minecraft and Sims builders, I never hear how an architect artist thinks otherwise. I really like how you’ve tried to setup your house as practical as you could imagine with the limitations you had
Sameee
Love these building contents a lot💚
you're vibe is something very uncommon on UA-cam today. I found your video very calming to watch, not to mention how the build is pretty damn fantastic. you're an artist.
Yes, this kind of content sends me back with the old Minecraft contents 7 years ago.
This is the first video I’ve seen from your channel and love the vibes. I really hope you find time to make more videos soon, your building style and commentary are great!
Welcome and thanks!
It'll probably be a while before the next video like this because i don't have much spare time these days, but i appreciate your encouragement! I'll get there eventually hahaha
the main thing i struggle with in building is that I feel like it isn't perfect and everyone else's is- but I know theirs isn't either, they just roll with it. I appreciate this🥰I can't wait to watch
I love that this feels kind of like chilling with a friend and not like obnoxious, attention-grabbing, manufactured content. Your energy is awesome and the build turned out great.
this feels like I'm on discord watching you stream your Minecraft window and talking over it. very genuine and calm :3
I'm very quiet and i love hearing other people talking, so this feels very comforting
i completely agree (and relate) !! :D
this video is so comforting in a weird way. kinda reminds me of how captivated i would get building back when i was a kid.
love having this on in the background.
This house looks so real like i could totally imagine living in it irl
I'm very happy to see you upload a video and moreover you made me want to play Minecraft again and keep building so i guess it worked. Love this build and I hope you keep going
Thank you for the kind words!
Listening to you be incredibly self aware as both an artist and a "vlogger" is very soothing and endearing. I love that your criticism is purely drawn from whether you like it or not. It's a very refreshing way to be as an artist, and your statement that creating it in a single player creative world makes it a selfish Creation really furthers that idea. In short, you seem cool, I like you.
26:20 Small thing but I like how you have a positive opinion of the tree in front of the window, idk why my instinct was to expect sarcasm but that was a sweet note
20:24 Co-op Toilets have got to be the highlight
Real recognize real
I stopped watching Minecraft content for years now because most of those contents doesn't feel like made for viewers to enjoy. Thanks UA-cam for recommending great Minecraft builds, it feels nostalgic.
So recently my girlfriend and I have started a new world together and as a small promise to myself, I’m building my builds how I used to when I was a kid. That means that if something looks off or weird, I leave it like that. If the build looks wonky or just not good, that’s ok because that’s how I grew up with the game and I find it to be more enjoyable when I’m not worrying about making every block placed perfectly
funnily enough, i put this video about perfection on while trying to make my way through a bout of anxiety. i took out a colouring page and filled it in with my favourite colours, even when they didn't make sense. this was a very good video :)
"Imperfection is the key to perfection" -- The Illusion
I try to tell myself this quote as much as possible, despite it being a little silly. I've been trying to work on building in Minecraft without demanding perfection or demanding that I build something unique. Just trying to build what I think would be cool, even if I'm copying a design. As long as I'm building something and having fun doing it, it's worth it. It's a great way to get back into Minecraft after falling out of love with it.
I love how you can hear him get more excited as the build progresses
14:32 Tipp on the Signs. If you Hold Shift and pick up a empty sign with the middle mouse button (press down mousewheel) you get a sign thats already unwritten and can be placed like every other block without opening a window that asks you to write something.
This was the perfect video for me to watch on my lunch break. A nice reset during a tough work day
i love this so much!! you're incredibly creative and the color scheme is so whimsical,,, looks like something from a wes anderson movie almost.. the yellow boat !! the kelp beds !! so chic!!!
Minecraft for me is definitely an art form and your video demonstrates this clearly! Imperfection is one of hardest, if not the hardest barrier to overcome, when working on becoming an artist. To me at least, and I personally use minecraft to work on learning to use my creative energy and momentum. I still struggle with building things that satisfy me, it's most often a perfect idea, that's unfinished and starts to become dull really quick. And so what I'm really trying to say is, the way you approached and commented on your building process really is a fantastic teaching of dealing with the urge to create something perfect and how important it is to really just let imperfection unfold itself, so that true beauty (as we know it in humans too) can emerge.
I hope this made sense 😅thank you for sharing this video!!
This does make sense!
had this video randomly recommended to me -- your voice is so soothing to listen to, and your build is absolutely gorgeous. what a charming video. definitely watching more.
while watching this video, I was building a windmill. It was not perfect as it was a 7x7 circle. I had thoughts of tearing it down and starting again, but after hearing your words about perfectionism, I continued to build. Turns out, the windmill I was building is '' out of order ''. It got me inspired and made me want to continue with this world. Thank you.
Amazing! I love when a build can tell its own story
This video gave me that feeling i used to have as a child. Please make more
This video is very wholesome with minimal editing
No real need to be hyper-entertaining or overly exaggerated
Just someone really passionate about building something cool.
I'm glad this video is getting some attention, it's a pleasure to watch 🎀
Really enjoy this style of approachable and sincere commentary.
And for the build itself I like seeing more to-scale builds, especially the to-scale interior. The market for giant detailed builds is so saturated that seeing a smaller build with more compromise is fresher in my opinion.
It's very rare that I click onto a recommended video about minecraft, however I'm glad I did with yours as the last part of the video talking about perfectionism really hit me a certain type of way. I'm someone who's been trying to get back into minecraft over the past couple of years and finally making something I've wanted to for a while, that being a timelapse, but I usually get hit with a mental block over getting too caught up in trying to make it the most perfect thing.. So I think I'll take your words to heart and consider them while trying to finally hit this goal of mine.
Not one to comment at all usually on YT videos however this one in particular was quite a humbling video in taking joy in the little imperfections that come from a build so thanks a lot for this video! Hope you're having a nice day.
I don’t know where I read “the world is your canvas” for the first time, but this video sums it all
this whole video felt like 5 mintues. I love this so much. I love minecraft interior design, it really makes you use your imagination to scrap together stuff that approximates stuff, and in a way i think its better like that.
As much as I am amazed by how much minecraft creative building has advanced in the last couple years especially with all the commands and debug stick work that's being popularized, i think there is something so refreshing about building a cozy, little build that doesnt clutter itself with all that. Theres somethint inherently minecraft to me that restricts itself to only what can be done in survival that I really like. perhaps its because it reminds me of how i used to play minecraft, im not sure. What I do know is that I have personally been wanting to make minecraft build videos like this for a while, but have been discouraged by all the "better" builders out there cranking out extremely massive builds that i could never build anything close to, but this video made me realize that that shouldnt be a deterrent.
Also im not oblivious to the fact you used the debug stick a couple of times, im only saying that its not like the entire build is made using commands and debug stick lol
I wanna say this: I think the build looks very aesthetically pleasing. Even the inside or rather especially the inside. Cause it has a very dream like quality to it. I can very much imagine seeing such a structure during a dream scenario. It is a house that makes just sense to be the way it is without it actually being illogical (cause Dreams usually wanna do what they wanna do and sometimes the door to the bathroom just leads out to the trainstation lol)
But I think I need to mention also something else. Something that I noticed in a lot of creative building is that while the builds often times can have a huge amount of detail in them, it always feels disconnected from someone having to experience the build if it were a real build to play around with.
I think the best way that I can compare it to is designers making houses. They look good. They have all thats neccesary to be in them. But are they actually enjoyable to live in? Or are they actually something that someone would actually want to live in? In this case I feel the house has this very issue as well. Like I said, it looks VERY aesthetically pleasing. I fricking love it in and outside, that has not changed. But the survival flair of the build for me feels very gone. Its more so Art than a real build. Which on its own is great too.
Now when it comes to the second floor, I absolutely ADORE the room you come into from the first set of stairs. That thin set of stairs going up? OH yea I can see it. Thats honest to god a really good and pleasing visual. The only thing that I would argue feels out of place is the corridor to the right. You have basically sacrificed space that you could have used for the Diningarea to give it more flair for a small visually pleasing corridor. As for the Master Bedroom? It does look nice, but there is that "pesky" word. Designed. xD It looks good. But it feels very designed too look good. But yea the Diningarea personally could have used some more space as I said, maybe some additional shelves or possibly a drawer or something else. Right now it feels very very small despite the balcony. Which I also must admit feels a little out of place. But thats personally speaking.
Not much to say about the rest of the house. Do I think the locations fit? To a point. I think the view on the tree is lovely, have one outside my window and yea it feels very nice and I hope you get to experience that kinda view one day.
But all in all? Despite what I said about the house in the critique/my opinion: I think you did a wonderful job bringing this house to life as an artpiece. I would certainly be curious how such a house would look if you took into consideration livability tho. Would it fall out bigger? Smaller? More complex, less complex? *Cough*I wantasecondvideodangitImsubbing*Cough* But jokes aside, your content is very enjoyable to watch, Ill def stick around.
Thanks for the feedback! You're absolutely right about my design philosophy with this build. I 100% sacrificed my ability to have chairs in the dining room for that hallway shot LOL. It's impractical in the same way as the balconies, the tree, the lighthouse, the location... the whole build! Like you mention, I built this to be visually pleasing first -- pleasing for myself, moreover. Practical logic took a backseat. It's a trade-off I frequently make, often without even realizing.
I am not a super well-practiced interior designer, as you are certainly aware, so it's always great to receive such thorough criticism. I definitely find myself locked in a bubble of sorts when I build alone, which can have a variety of consequences. Often good ones, like I discussed in the video. But sometimes I miss the obvious hahaha
I do have another, slightly more practical house partially designed that might make it into a video when I can find the time. Although that probably won't be for a while, unfortunately.
16:41 “that’s small beans compared to the lighthouse” “ok small beans eaten and enjoyed” I can’t 😂😂😂 im using that now in my vocabulary if u don’t mind. 😊thank you!
With a minecart, 2 oak trapdoors and mangrove fencegate you could add a cute wheelbarrow. :)
really loved your video, hope to see more soon:D
Looks good. Really cool seeing your process and I enjoy your personality :D
This is such a chill video man i really enjoyed
At all times I felt like I was in a Studio Ghibli movie, where the scenarios manage to contain a lot of information and somehow still remain organized to the eye
I loved your build!
Such an amazing video. Love your commentary, and the build is fantastic
This was such a great change of pace from the usual videos on here and I want to thank you for making a video that’s just for you! It was very inspiring and calming
love this video. it really puts "trust the process" into context. keep it up!
i love your ideas this was such a fun video i love it sm
so very refreshing. wonderful video and thought process
I'm so glad i found this channel. What a beautiful, inspiring build
this is inspiring to see such a chill video! you got good vibes
this is a really nice video! also this house has so much character omg ive never seen a style like it in minecraft.
This was a very pleasant watch. I love your building style and commentary :)
I really enjoy your builds, UA-cam really needs more of these kinds of videos. You deserve wayyy more subscribers!
Your creative way of using textures is so inspiring!! I love the lore you’ve added to this area too!
This video was actually really entertaining, and your creations are amazing! Keep it up bro.
I just started watching this video, and I'm so happy I found your channel as this is the kind of Minecraft content I've been missing for a long while. I'm definitely going to subscribe for more!
Very cool builds my man. I love your style
just started my morning w/ such a relaxed minecraft build video, this is perfect
that was relaxing
lovely video
cheers
Incredible insights- subbed
This build is stunning
i just randomly stumbled upon this video and wow, i'm super impressed with your builds!! this is incredible!
I really liked this video! The energy behind it and the build almost felt like a journal entry
i really enjoyed this video! Hearing your thought process around building is really interesting and insightful. I would love to see more videos like this, where you do these builds and have fun playing around with it. All the best x
i love how this house looks so so much
Truly wonderful video. You have gained a subscriber!
so genuinely, there’s something so natural and nice listening to you talk through your process while building! i really appreciate saying that this is something you’re doing for you, it feels really freeing! thabk you for sharing :)
Really cool build man :)
absolutely beautiful
Your content is pleasantly soothing to watch
woah this is incredible! i love the addition of the antenna and the house gives me like spanish villa vibes
coolest build i’ve seen in a while
I honestly love the vibe of this video! So refreshing compared to most of the overedited videos the youtube is flooded with. Keep up the great work wish you all the best!
Also the build is a 10/10 for me, gave me some great inspiration on my next project:)
This is a beautiful home.
The heart and message in this video is absolutely amazing, I watched the entire thing without distractions and I'm glad I did. Thank you for appearing on my feed
Thought i'd pick something to watch before winding down for bed, i couldn't have picked a better video this was so chill yet insightful and inspiring! Gonna have a peaceful sleep tonight, tysm!
This was such a relaxing video to watch, it's inspiring me to to my own builds in Minecraft like this.
This style of to-scale, organic building is so appealing to me. Beautiful build
I love the message from this video about anti-perfectionism and also you have such a nice voice. This was definitely a comforting video. Great work on this and I’m glad you made this for yourself. I had a popularish account on TikTok in the past and haven’t came back yet because I felt like I was making content for them and I didn’t like that. I want to make it for me and am still figuring that out so just wanted to say you touched someone with this video even if you didn’t mean it. Thank you.
I love this video it’s so calming :]
Your favorite angle is absolutely amazing, I really love it. I’d stay at this house on vacation for sure⭐️
Wow, you are so creative! You use so many blocks that i forgot even existed and they work so well!
Super underrated, love your vibe!
i just randomly found your channel and this video gave me so much comfort. Also never apologise for doing things for yourself! You do you and if that includes building videos, that’d just be a nice extra for us! Just wanted to let you know that i really enjoyed it and it made me feel warm :)❤
Using coral as a shag rug is such a cool idea, there's a lot of ways you used the blocks in the game in ways that I woudl've never imagined
i know right!!
Placing signs or lecturns under carpet blocks also produces a neat effect!
