The minecraft way: Step 1: Build a 'temporary' box house or cave home Step 2: After playing for awhile and gathering materials, prepare to build your new house Step 3: Look up some builds people have done for their houses for inspiration Step 4: Realize that to accomplish any of those, you'll need to get 10x the resources you already have and spend like 10 hours of dedicated building time Step 5: Stop playing for 8 months Step 6: Start playing again, but feel completely lost and confused as to wtf you were doing Step 7: Decide to start a new world so you can just start from the start instead of trying to remember everything from your current world Step 8: Return to step 1

Also for the wall facade tip, most logs color match the next darkest plank, oak log=spruce plank, spruce log=dark oak plank, but dark oak log also matches itself

As a underground miner, it's been difficult to branch out into building. But this really helped. Thank you.

wow what a nice house! wish i had the patience to build it!

Step at beginning of the video: "Just extend the room with basic shapes." Step at end of the video: "Now build an entire warehouse."

A building tip for nether portals: You could use some nether blocks while your making your portal look good in overworld. It looks like nether is taking over the world just like mojang did with the ruined nether portals.

Just wanna real quick say that if you plan on being really good at building, this is NOT the only tutorial you need, not even remotely. Being an expert at building requires near perfect understanding of the basics, ie what they are and how to execute them. You need to understand most if not all of the simple concepts there are, have a huge amount of tricks and ideas saved up for detailing and really anything for that matter, often times even understand things like color theory. There is way too much to becoming a good builder to fit into a single video, especially an 8 minute one. But as far as guidelines for people who just want a nice house this video is great, pretty much everything is spot on and will make things look good almost every time you build it. Also if you want to get really into building, I would recommend watching all of Grians tutorials, and once you've gotten to a decently advanced level, watching tutorials from another, far smaller youtuber who goes by Horace - Minecraft. he is an amazing content creator and is incredibly talented in his craft, in my opinion, even better than grian is, though they do build in vastly different ways so there isn't much comparison that works there.

If there’s anything I’ve learned over the years of building in Minecraft, is that you shouldn’t be afraid to try new things and find inspiration for builds on the internet! Practice makes perfect after all

This is the reason why your name is “Skip the tutorial”

3:05 Tip for the trees: Use Spruce Planks with Oak Logs, because they have the same color. Also works with Dark Oak Planks on Spruce Logs.

7:26 Ah yes, soul lanterns before you build the nether portal. Makes perfect sense.

I already forgot the things in the video as soon as I went to try to build a house

Here’s an extra tip: Place Netherrack in different spots in the ground of the nether portal to make it look like it’s spreading into the world.

Holy gosh. I’d consider myself to be a pretty good builder, but this man’s base puts all my years of building to shame. Amazing job Skip.

Just spent 5 hours using these tips to build a great survival base and boy does it look nice

what I like to do with indoor ways (paths that are supposed to be near the sleeping room and somewhere where I'd usually walk in socks) is to make a 5 blocks wide path, as I always wood, the middle three blocks are carpet, and the blocks on the edges are whatever floor block I'm using. I really like it when things look regular, sort of.

Thank you for these tips. I’m gonna apply these to my dirt house.

This was surprisingly helpful I had currently been struggling with my builds thanks man

skip the tutorial: makes a tutorial me: skips the tutorial

6:56 rip bedrock players 😔

Never in 1 million years would've thought of using diorite walls for trees

This was great! Can you do another similar one for bases that aren’t houses?

The House From The Beginning Still Looks Cool!

He’s called skip the tutorial but he is the tutorial

I will 100% be doing some of these :D Also, farm tip: You can make a sort of vineyard using two-block tall fences, berry bushes (so it's functional), leaves, and vines ;)

For the farm you could also mix in different crops or place a few flowers in the field tall flowers look the best

can you do more of these please? i love watching you transform everything rather than just giving us ideas verbally!!

Such a great video!! This really helps my 7 year old and I to build together in game. I'm fairly new to mine craft and she's showing me the ropes. Thank you!!

Tip: if you want to build a tree that’s half under water use dark oak it’s makes it look like it’s wet

I was literally searching up ways to improve my builds! Absolute perfect timing 😂

This is the best tutorial I have seen yet

I think this is the most useful and amazing video you've posted yet, thank you so much!

SKIP THE TUTORIAL: Good at explaining Good at editing Good at building Good at everything

Skip is has the balance of quality and quantity

Breathtaking.

This is great most people I watch do build make it look hard. It is nice to have someone that can show there is a more easy way to do cool build.

Thanks for putting this together, Skip. I don't think I'm a great builder, but this video has given me some inspiration to make small improvements around my base and hopefully grow from there! :)

Finally, a use for diorite!!

We really need a part 2!

These ideas are so amazing but it nearly impossible to build a house like yours in a survival world

I don’t know why but skip always makes me want to play Minecraft

I love these so much, but the majority aren’t even possible for me seeing as I’m on mobile and can’t do things like get pushed into a sliding position from trapdoors. Still fun to watch, though!

One of the main reasons why I love his channel: His thumbnails are SYMMETRICAL AS HECK And he just makes good content

Dude, my creativity is so low that this almost gives me a spark of inspiration, gotta love using modded block palettes and decorations

Something else I usually tend to throw in with the nether portal idea is adding some glass panes to the side of another portal that you're not going to be entering or exiting from and then on the opposite side of the glass build a copy of what's on the other side of the portal so just before you walk through it's like you can see what's on the other side

You never falter in teaching us new things about minecraft while keeping the humor at a appropriate level that everyone can enjoy. We appreciate you Skip!

I love how he builds all this stuff just for his fans

Please make a full tutorial for this

I love the fact that you took us through building the house rather than individual tips and tricks

I have access to all building knowledge thank you Skip

after watching this makes me wanna be more creative and have a bigger imagination and more confidence on building thank you as always

I love these ideas. Im definately gonna use them

Packed mud is a 𝔹𝔼𝔸𝕌𝕋𝕀𝔽𝕌𝕃 path

i learnt more in this 8m.37s video than i learnt in a 40 minute video, i appreciate all the help and i feel like now is the right time to give a sub...

Thank you so much! I wanted to try and get better at building, but I never really found anything I liked. Now I have a video I like from a KZfaqr that I like!

Actually tried this and it turned out freaking amazing. Definitely recommend trying this.

A tip that came in mind to me is making a dragon mouth with fangs for the nether portal and the warden's guts for the end, i feel like endstone and sculk stuff ar like man and woman its just so cool to me! btw great helping hand skip!

Cool houses 😎Great video Skip!

This is great! I often get confused as to how to make a nice build or make my area look nice. I was looking around for tips on how to build a nice area. I like that this is very simple and very direct. Gives some good tips for people who aren't builders as to how the heck builders make nice things as well as some good upgrades to basic features lots of players will have in their area!

this video was really good i clicked on it to accually improve my build but instead i just watched it without realizing it was a tutorial, The call backs kept me intrested and the tips were vauge enough to be useful in more than just one build. 10/10

I still love how this cube became a house better than my dirt shack.

Step 1:add a crafting table and a furnace Step 2:add a bed and door That’s all you need

Its great to see people still use Grian’s tutorials!

The house is absolutely beautiful , you did an incredible job + the people you got reference photos are outstanding 10 / 10 vid - Thanks For The Help !!❤

Your videos are helpful and awesome. Please keep up the good work :)

if you are making an oak tree, you can use spruce fences and slabs. they blend in better.

Wow transitions are smooth and perfect and I also love the ideas!

I am speechless this is too perfectly built

epic video keep up the great work!! Thanks for the tips skip

looks really cool but, as a survival player, i need a stone and creeperproof version of that.

I'm just not that creative 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Thanks for the tips!

Great vid the tips are really helpful for building!

Thanks! This will make my builds look Grain approved.

Great Tutorial Skip!

Thanks for the tips! I will use them on my Hardcore World

The thing is, most of these tips are already well-known, using them wisely, while neither over-detailing nor under-detailing- that's the biggest struggle. Still though, I was very happy when I built my starter house and my library, the builds which were done solely by myself without any tutorials, except for some mild inspirations. They may be not as good as Grian or GoodTimesWithScar or any other professional builder would make, but it's my own creation, and it's an honest work.

Thanks man these are very helpful tips

I was just following these tips in creative for fun and it’s genuinely the best house I’ve ever built

This was really helpful I’ve always struggled with my mines,farms and roofs

I love all the advice you give!

I've learnt from this Video that's even less than 10 minutes more than i learnt from other videos, that's why I like Skip the Tutorial, keep it up man.

These videos really make me happy when I’m staying up late and I’m bored. This makes me really un bored!

Very useful, Skip The Tutorial, thanks!

Great work, as always

Hey! This Video is amazing. I love youre way how design you’re buildings. I’d learned so much new. Thank you so, so much 😀🙂☺️.

this is one of your best videos by far! I really enjoyed it!

This guy really made it seems so easy and fast... (It's not hard but it'll take hours to get the resources AND to build all of that)

Skip the tutorial: The KZfaq judge bets me that you can’t subscribe to the channel with your eyes closed Blind KZfaqrs: Hold my beer

I love how this turned out

thank you so much for these build hacks skip

i was about to make a nice little house for my survival world this will help for sure!

This is honestly one of the best videos you've made... Definitely gives a purpose to some of those really bored minecraft players!

This is the best tutorial

Thank You for Uploading this, I will revisit this incase i need a refresher, and i made a house in creative mode with some of your aspects.

These video always make my day also how do you find out about such great build hacks

hi im a huge fan of your videos me and my sister watch u every day and thanks for keeping us intrested with good content keep it up

My friends always ask me how I’m so good at building in Minecraft, and I just tell them about you. If it weren’t for you I would be a lot worse at everything in Minecraft. Thank you so much❤

Great ideas. New to Minecraft so this is very helpful.

This guy is so good at the game I’m surprised he hasn’t done a let’s play yet
