Hey guys thanks for the excellent feedback on the video - especially the animated intro thing, it took ages! Some people are getting very upset (wrongly so) over the intended message of the video. This video is intended to teach BUILDERS (which is what my channel is about, minecraft building) what I would consider a mistake when trying to make an aesthetically pleasing house. The fact that I have to clarify this is rather annoying because you're fighting over something really mundane. This video clearly isn't intended for the casual survival player who wants to have a practical house. If you are a practical house builder why would you even think about making something pretty? I also want to point out that it is my opinion, just like every video ever... Most people watch my videos because they WANT my opinion on how to build. OF COURSE you can build how you want. It's minecraft. That's the whole point. Don't get defensive because you made a box house. I'll never agree with you that it looks good, and I honestly don't care because it's none of my business. My channel is all about people who want my opinion on minecraft building. When my subs watched this video, the comments were overwhelmingly positive, then loads of non subs came in and just filled it with salt. If you don't want to learn how to build, go watch someone else. You have as much control over who you watch and who you take advice from as you do building whatever you want. Have a nice day and I hope you enjoyed the video! Love you all, even the haters
Upset viewers should know that this is YOUR OPINION, which may be different from THEIRS. I think many viewers would like a survival home which looks good and functional. I think they were upset with the starter home video. The homes in the video were mostly expensive to build, hard to defend, or not functional enough for most survival players.
Al right Grian but can you just show us a bit more, you saw my big message, and can you tell us a bit how to build like, a castle, I am a lover on the mediaval creations. Please show me some more tips from the mediaval futurish or normal furniture for Minecraft. That is what many people are on, and what about making a bridge, I really need a bridge in my world's so can you please do one. Thank you if yes, I don't mind if no. Tell me "Are you proud of your builds most of times?" I am happy as you do these videos about making building CORRECTLY and beautiful
I know this video is 6 years old, but as someone who just discovers the international Minecraft community, I just have to say: This video is of amazing quality! It is absolutly clear why you are as successful as you are, putting that much effort, into such a simple video! Respect!
I'm watching some of Grian's older videos and am a little surprised at how soft-spoke he was back then compared to the button-pressing, war-starting menace he is on HC. I'm glad to see that the cheekier side of him has come out more!
A few years ago I was building a small town with my cousin and I decided I would spend some hours making the best house I could. I ended up making a mansion of two symmetric giant parts with 5 floors, 8 beds, a heck lot of space and chests and stuff, a "common backyard" with some decorative stuff and more. That "minimalistic" house had 100 times the details of my entire mansion.
My real problem is how do you even start? Where do you go at the beginning? Like how do people like envision what they're trying to build from the start when there's nothing? Or even with the foundation already made, how do you effectively plan out what to make of it all?
Some advice from me I just randomly make base and start building according to base style like modern,medivial etc once the base is done new ideas will start coming out on their own .
Personally I make a bunch of boxes on the floor for a basic shape and an idea for how big it's going to be. After that, I will start making my frame (Mostly out of wood logs) and after thats done, step back and look at it, see if it has the potential for extra stories or just leave it a single level house. After you decided and built your frame, start with the outline of the floor and try to work your wall in between the frame and the floor's outline
The dude has a point though. Yes, there is some somewhat harsh bits, but really, I agree. It would be nicer like that. This is my own opinion and you all are fully entitled to yours.
9:28 in my opinion. if your gonna build something with a flat roof you should make it a completely different colour. stone usually works best. and add some details like vents, small chimneys or skylights, this design usually works good when building post-war British houses or tower blocks. if you make a bunch of houses that are conjoined into a row of terraces. then you get the top and the sides of the wall that separates each house. make the wall a different colour, preferably a darker colour, then make it stick out from the rest of the building and add a stone or different coloured slab on top. do it to the end of the last house as well as it doesn't look normal if you don't and most houses after the war have a different colour on the end. slightly slanted roofs work well for post-war architecture. make sure that the shape isn't super complicated as most buildings of that time are mostly square with maybe one or two parts of the building sticking out. this goes for most post-war office buildings or flats. I wouldn't doe this kind of building tho if your trying to show off your building skills as it is really simple to do and doesn't have that mush detail as it's mainly curved roofs and unique shapes that make a building look complicated.
It was this exact video that got me hooked on your channel, Grian, around six years ago. I can't believe it's been that long... thanks for all the years of insanity and beautiful builds.
Well he's had a lot of experience with it! I used to suck at building too, but the more I actually considered the tips in the video, the better at building I got. But I get that building isn't for everyone :)
Honestly that’s me every time I try to make a roof it looks like a flat price of dog poop on paper What they expect:normal roof like animal crossing Me: flatness galore
The "defying the laws of physics" thing is a thing in modern architecture. It's called a "cantilever" where the frame extends into the building and the weight of the rest of the building keeps it in place. But yes, a cantilever that big does look odd.
I remember making a large wooden hotel that has no details at all in a ripoff game of Minecraft. It was on one of the public servers, but after my mom's tablet broke I never could download the app again I was so super proud of it, so I hope that whomever owns it after me takes good care of 'The Wooden Hotel by OneOddKid' (my naming skills have always been bad lmao)
my square vanilla house may be underwhelming to you mansion dwellers, but my maze of a basement I make for everything I cant fit in my square is quite remarkable
me makes 4x6 dirt shack to survive night. end up making a subterranean cave system so big that you could have something like 4 players in there and never see one another for a few hours.
Literally what I do. Create a small decent looking house on the surface then just create a grid of rooms underground with everything I need. The house is just to mark where my base is
Now that’s what I call a “Building Tutorial” even though it is about how not to build, it teaches everything. Thank You, Grian! Actually overdetailing is similar to organised detailing. The difference is, the normal detailing is mostly symmetrycal, it is concentrated in the corners and edges the max, overdetailing is the same but the detailation is not that symmetrical and is spread almost randomly on the build with no precise manner.
that random elite ultra wow not all of us are that minecraft-cash-money-rich, maybe you need to take the privilege test czcams.com/video/aJ2pIVXa5as/video.html
It is really dificult to build trees because the leaves has to be so random, messy and still look natural. It is difficult to make something random and still make sure that it looks great or just good/fine.
Just a quick note about roof overhangs: Skeletons and Zombies can hide under the roof or frame when the night ends to avoid burning. Just something to keep in mind for survival players
A well-lit and fenced off perimeter is one of my priorities. I never want to step out the front door and suddenly be face-to-face with a hostile mob -- especially a creeper!

Grian: "but, bu-- Me: *on the verge of smacking grian* *grian goes away, at last*
I like building with dirt, it can be mined my hand and if you build correctly you can grow grass on each floor and have green carpeting and balcony's with green on them, then throw in vines and 2 thick floors with 1 block of water and you have a vine and whatever you want farm and house all in one, use sand to make walls around the house so if a creeper blows them up, the wall will close the hole automatically. My house is usually symmetrical and square on purpose as it makes setting up red stone circuits easier. :)
I make detailed houses now but the first houses you built in this vid, I made in middle school and I thought they looked good 😂 so glad I changed the way I build now. I just finished a wizard's tower in my minecraft realm and I love detailing like that
this is why i'm always annoyed by suggestions that you're somehow Incorrect for making ceilings two blocks high- i don't want endermen sliding into my survival home like they own the place
He didn't say that it was generally a little detail. He was saying that compared to the overly detailed house, the one he made was a lot less detailed. Which is true.
This is what's great about Grian. He doesn't give a block by block tutorial. He teaches you how to build. Inspires you to go on and build your own creations. Shows you methods to use, not builds to duplicate. Exactly what we need to learn.
I agree with you He doesn’t just give us an easy way to do it by just watching him build, he actually teaches us how to build and what we can learn about it
This really helped because I am not a experienced builder in Minecraft I’m not that good of a builder in general but I am trying to improve so this helped me a lot.
I have a tip for you in building: just add a trapdoors on both sides of your windows and add pillars in line with the frame! Also use white or light grey glass for windows and add some AMAZING detail by replacing some of your wall with staircases in some sort of pattern or even make cracks!
@@markswan842 I've started adding detailed stuff like this, and it works a charm. All windows for me now have to either be stained glass or no glass at all. Currently experimenting with a decorative wall/fence made of stairs and slabs.
OH GOSH I DIDN'T FOUND A MOUNTAIN!! WHAT DO I DO?!?! My Bro: Build A Hole In The Ground! My Sis: Build A Treehouse! Wich One Should I Make? :T A Hobbit Hole On The Side Of The Mountain!
About the over detailing, I think it really looks more intimidating than good looking. I would say that a base meant to keep away foes should be overdetailed.
I wish he still did these sorts of tutorials, he could probably make them so much better now that he's at the level he's at, if he didn't spend so much time on things like 3rd Life and Hermitcraft
I see a lot of the people in the comments a bit upset because building in minecraft isn’t supposed to be a competition and is just about being creative and let your ideas flow out. Now, I agree with that opinion a lot. I think this video though is more targeted to people trying to improve the general aesthetic and skills of their buildings, not people who just wanna have fun. If that makes sense I guess.
I think if the title and tone were that of a tutorial video, he wouldn't be getting the hate he is. However he didn't, he just sounds like a pompous little turd.
I am a skycomplex builder in Minecraft, composed of cobblestone. Less on aesthetics, more on function. Functional overhangs to keep spiders out, entrances on either mountaintops or lakes to minimize Creeper threats until cats are in place. I focus on the core structure, others can fill the rest or expand the core for jutting rooms. Cobblestone and specific wood production are a must. When it comes to farms, I only need 1 water source block to water the rest, akin to aqueducts. I use cobblestone fences and torches for that effect.
Exactly. No one's gonna hate on you for throwing down something functional for your first few nights, or even if you just want to play the gameplay forever. But as you grow as a builder and run into roadblocks 'how do I make this look better agh!' a video like this is really helpful.
I gree I don’t like it when people like you tuber Judge people for their skill and imagination And make fun of by calling it A “Box” and building a better version and compared the two together But all people would CHOOSE their because it Their work their skill and imagination! Not to be rude but WE ALL KNOW THAT HE IS A PRO BUILDER but it doesn’t give him the right to Judge people for their work and style!
this is why I just make a hobbit hole in a mountain, and just have like 40 rooms by the end of my playthrough. I feel bad for people trying to navigate it, its a complete maze
Dude, it's SIMPLE, how are you still not getting this? You go through the 4x4 vault door, down the stairs, past the skeleton grinder, into the enchanting room, place a torch 3 blocks to your right to trigger the hidden passage behind the bookcase, go down the hidden passage and to the LEFT, cause the right leads to a lava trap, use the slime trampoline to get into the slime farm, go around the outside of that and you'll find a one block hole with a ladder, don't go down there it's full of zombies with enchanted armor and swords, don't ask, put the keycard i gave you earlier into the fish tank left of the ladder hole, and then go down the hidden staircase that opens up, go straight from the bottom of the staircase and make sure you open the 3x3 spiral door not the 3x3 hipster door, cause there's a bunch of hoglins behind that, then past the apiary, and get into the elevator that takes you to the top of the mountain and THAT'S where the bamboo is stored. HOW many times do i need to explain it?
Yes, Minecraft it's a game about doing whatever you want. But unless you are a 4 year old (no offense indeed) or you are just fooling around, placing blocks just because, you will want to make a design that is pleasant to look at. And to achieve this, you'll have to follow some rules about design. And that's the point of this video.
as a latin american person, I can concur we don't have those fancy pointy roofs, THAT SAID, we can still decorate the roofs with trees, balconies, or a little room in the roof
Pro tip, you do not need to finish the back of a build. Nobody will see it and you will save on resources. Needing to finish the back of a build is a lie spread around by the community to make builders suffer longer.
Make a detailed house from a tutorial, analyse how the creator has built it, and use the knowledge gained from said analytics to create better houses. have fun building :)
@@kurosammi well if you are such a busy man you can get back to your dirt hole and slowly melt away into your depression! 😄 P.S. that was a joke if you are easily offended btw... :/
That's exactly what I was looking for, someone to teach me "How NOT to Build" and inspire me, not videos about, how to replicate my build and thanks for making the playlist i am going to watch every video
Especially RP servers like the one I'm in. Entire cities spanning 300 blocks high and ungodly amounts of blocks across, lagging you to 3 FPS as soon as it comes within your render distance. And god forbid that a fight should break out. True Story: The entire server lagged so hard during a major war in the elven capital (the most overbuilt thing on the server) that most of us couldn't even log in, those that did were standing still and zipping around from lag, and then the SERVER CRASHED. Someone recorded the chaos and I made a GIF of it: imgur.com/0oSt2pd Thanks, overly-complex builders.

I like building with dirt, it can be mined my hand and if you build correctly you can grow grass on each floor and have green carpeting and balcony's with green on them, then throw in vines and 2 thick floors with 1 block of water and you have a vine and whatever you want farm and house all in one, use sand to make walls around the house so if a creeper blows them up, the wall will close the hole automatically. My house is usually symmetrical and square on purpose as it makes setting up red stone circuits easier. :)

I make detailed houses now but the first houses you built in this vid, I made in middle school and I thought they looked good 😂 so glad I changed the way I build now. I just finished a wizard's tower in my minecraft realm and I love detailing like that
grian: you shouldn't build your house out of valuable materials
me: are you challenging me?
Creative me: looks nice
Survival me: but it's so inefficient
cave houses are literally the way i do survival minecraft. they don't take up resources, and even if they do, all the resources are in the same cave.
Yeah that's why I put food in chests and stuff
Bonus points for underwater cave houses. Obvious reasons, especially regarding mobs
this is why i'm always annoyed by suggestions that you're somehow Incorrect for making ceilings two blocks high- i don't want endermen sliding into my survival home like they own the place

This is what's great about Grian. He doesn't give a block by block tutorial. He teaches you how to build. Inspires you to go on and build your own creations. Shows you methods to use, not builds to duplicate. Exactly what we need to learn.
I agree with you
He doesn’t just give us an easy way to do it by just watching him build, he actually teaches us how to build and what we can learn about it

"Look at this house."
"The door is off center, it should be two wide-"
"It's the same block."
“This house has very little detail.”
House: has more detail than I’ve ever put into all my builds combined
I have a tip for you in building: just add a trapdoors on both sides of your windows and add pillars in line with the frame! Also use white or light grey glass for windows and add some AMAZING detail by replacing some of your wall with staircases in some sort of pattern or even make cracks!
@@markswan842 I've started adding detailed stuff like this, and it works a charm. All windows for me now have to either be stained glass or no glass at all. Currently experimenting with a decorative wall/fence made of stairs and slabs.

I wish he still did these sorts of tutorials, he could probably make them so much better now that he's at the level he's at, if he didn't spend so much time on things like 3rd Life and Hermitcraft
I see a lot of the people in the comments a bit upset because building in minecraft isn’t supposed to be a competition and is just about being creative and let your ideas flow out. Now, I agree with that opinion a lot. I think this video though is more targeted to people trying to improve the general aesthetic and skills of their buildings, not people who just wanna have fun. If that makes sense I guess.
I think if the title and tone were that of a tutorial video, he wouldn't be getting the hate he is. However he didn't, he just sounds like a pompous little turd.
I am a skycomplex builder in Minecraft, composed of cobblestone. Less on aesthetics, more on function. Functional overhangs to keep spiders out, entrances on either mountaintops or lakes to minimize Creeper threats until cats are in place. I focus on the core structure, others can fill the rest or expand the core for jutting rooms. Cobblestone and specific wood production are a must.
When it comes to farms, I only need 1 water source block to water the rest, akin to aqueducts. I use cobblestone fences and torches for that effect.
Exactly. No one's gonna hate on you for throwing down something functional for your first few nights, or even if you just want to play the gameplay forever. But as you grow as a builder and run into roadblocks 'how do I make this look better agh!' a video like this is really helpful.
then maybe he shouldn't sound as judgy
I gree I don’t like it when people like you tuber

And make fun of by calling it A “Box” and building

Grian : *takes building in Minecraft very seriously*
Me : I just want to build a shelter mate...
Actually, my style is fairly similar to Grian’s. Also, your accent is FANTASTIC!!!!!
this is why I just make a hobbit hole in a mountain, and just have like 40 rooms by the end of my playthrough. I feel bad for people trying to navigate it, its a complete maze
Same, I have an underground house it has abt 13 rooms no joke
Dude, it's SIMPLE, how are you still not getting this?
You go through the 4x4 vault door, down the stairs, past the skeleton grinder, into the enchanting room, place a torch 3 blocks to your right to trigger the hidden passage behind the bookcase, go down the hidden passage and to the LEFT, cause the right leads to a lava trap, use the slime trampoline to get into the slime farm, go around the outside of that and you'll find a one block hole with a ladder, don't go down there it's full of zombies with enchanted armor and swords, don't ask, put the keycard i gave you earlier into the fish tank left of the ladder hole, and then go down the hidden staircase that opens up, go straight from the bottom of the staircase and make sure you open the 3x3 spiral door not the 3x3 hipster door, cause there's a bunch of hoglins behind that, then past the apiary, and get into the elevator that takes you to the top of the mountain and THAT'S where the bamboo is stored. HOW many times do i need to explain it?
When I build underground houses I have a living room a bedroom and a crafting room 3 roomz

Minecraft: here’s a game that’s in your complete control, no rules just be happy.
Grian: there’s rules, follow.
there's rules in Minecraft
Dont dig straight down
Daffa I well no in the loading screen when you go into a world it sometimes says DONT LEAVE TREES FLOATING or DONT DIG STRAIGHT DOWN
This is a really good idea and I agree 💯
Yes, Minecraft it's a game about doing whatever you want. But unless you are a 4 year old (no offense indeed) or you are just fooling around, placing blocks just because, you will want to make a design that is pleasant to look at. And to achieve this, you'll have to follow some rules about design. And that's the point of this video.
6 years later and I'm still waiting on a do's and don't of building in a mountain
It doesn’t matter how you build a house in Minecraft as long as it keeps monsters out that’s all that matters
I'm guessing u aren't a builder lol.

Also not great to look at
It doesn’t have a good selection of blocks
Meanwhile, people are making houses out of shipping containers and solar panels

Especially RP servers like the one I'm in. Entire cities spanning 300 blocks high and ungodly amounts of blocks across, lagging you to 3 FPS as soon as it comes within your render distance.
And god forbid that a fight should break out. True Story: The entire server lagged so hard during a major war in the elven capital (the most overbuilt thing on the server) that most of us couldn't even log in, those that did were standing still and zipping around from lag, and then the SERVER CRASHED.
