I’m just gonna give a quick tip for docks/bridges when you need to use supports I recommend (if it’s the style your doing) oak then when your at the blocks that go in the water change to spruce it makes it look like it’s damp which is a detail that can help :)

@jtoole5639 6 ай бұрын

My favorite/signature palette is Deepslate Bricks, dark oak logs/planks, and occasionally polished diorite (it doesn’t suck lol) for contrast with Stone bricks and polished stone patterned for the floors/foundations. Chains, dark oak fences, and iron bars for accents. Like an industrialist medieval style. It’s pretty unique but it’s my vibe.

So I'm new to actually BUILDING, for more than just function. I'm new to building stylistically. Sticking to one theme gets sort of repetitive for me. I build up "zones" in my world. My base area is rustic, I have a path off to my Japanese themed island, path off my farms (which would be just utilitarian/functional), and a path off to...idk what to call it, I guess my experimental building area; I built an enclosure for a bunch of sniffers, and made it look like a huge sniffer using a varied color pallet. I'll do 3 builds in the different styles, and move on to something else. Right now I'm building an abandoned, sort of dilapidated light house. Just started, something new and different.

I appreciate a video like this far more than a step by step how to create someone else's building in the game. Step by steps are similar to tracing drawings- maybe a good start, but it's not your own talent that you can use to make your own creations- it's just copying once, and the skills don't carry over

I personally like to say "practise makes progress". If you practise something for a long time, but never research what you're actually trying to achieve, you can get stuck. It's important to practise AND research whenever learning something new, and in this case, your Minecraft building skills.

@AdditionalAndrew5916 3 ай бұрын

That's some good advice. I'm good at theming, but choosing a palette is more difficult for me. I tend to be a visionary who wings the design. I try building something small, but the vision takes over and I end up making something bigger than planned. Terrible habit, sometimes. But I make something that is memorable in the end.
