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 =)
I pick A& B 😅 surely I i like many’s 🤗Thank you
Thank you!
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
Whttt same happened to me
Me to
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.
Same bruhh!!
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 have a custom tree video coming very soon buddy =)
@@BlueNerdMC oh thank god I can’t build trees for the life of me
@@henrylarson6970 same
@@BlueNerdMC Hype! I've been dying to learn how do to these, especially palm trees.
@@BlueNerdMC where is it
A roof tutorial would be really cool! Like the towers, and different styles of roof's
Great idea buddy, I will see what I can do =)
Something like this perhaps? :)
czcams.com/video/EmjODlhHRko/video.html
That’s what I need. I’m a decent builder but I always struggle with the roof on buildings
@@dominiczaragoza878 Same, I always mess the roof up
I would love to see the tower one. Im doing a tower now
this is the best building tutorial i have ever seen
Thank you so much Mysticat, that means a lot dude =)
Yea mysticat
Fr
100%. I've watched so many and feel like I've never really gotten loose from replicating Jamziboy's designs. This really gave me a boost.
Agree man.. I just watched it not expecting anything except killing some time, but I got blown away by the knowledge lol
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:)
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!✨
Thank you Lisa, i'm glad it was helpful =)
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!
You’ve inspired me to actually build a house instead of living underground! Thank you for such an informative video.
litterally me
@@connorshea9782Why does your pfp look so fimiliar. I feel like I've seen them.
Lol did you never build in minecraft just dug holes?😆
@@SweatyyPancakes 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.
But anyway, I did end up making one from scratch following his tips. :)
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.
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!
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!!!
I've always felt caged when building in minecraft. You've literally just unlocked my creativity and given me that spark that I was missing. Thank You!
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 =)
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
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 =)
@@BlueNerdMC I am just now getting use to ripping stuff down to rebuild it 😁
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. ;)
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
Is that your betta?! It’s so cute 😭
@@adoreyou7449 cheese and crackers CZcams 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. CZcams never notified me of your kind comment
Finally, I've NEEDED this.
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.
Re watching this as i get ready to get back into my Survival Realm! Love these tips!
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.
A year later, but I found this video recently and it's a godsend! There are plenty of great builders on CZcams 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!
Same
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!!
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!!
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
Two days ago i started my own village and I think these tips will help me for sure.
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.
Thank you so much for the thanks Valkyrie, i'm so glad my videos have been helpful for you, I have loads more guides and tutorials in the works =)
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
Love your tips, currently trying to build a base from a Sears house plan I googled.
Exactly what I needed, easy to follow and very helpful. Thank you!
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!
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
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 like this gradual additions! it makes it easy to follow and helps get a better understanding of what makes a complex house. a+ video
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
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
This is exactly what I was hoping your tutorial series would be like. Amazing! I loved this video and cant wait to start building!!
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!
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.
Only discovered your channel the other day and I’m learning a bunch. Thank you so much!
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
One of the best building videos I have ever watched! Thank you so much!
*6/5 star rating*
Thank you so much Kyle =)
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.
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.
I really love these building tips! Thank you for putting in this work for us!
Great video, your able to have a simple design outline but detail it into a masterpiece
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've always been a lot better at interior. I really hope this helps my house-building in the future!
This has been more helpful to me then most build videos! Thank you, you’ve given me some advice and tips that i can realistically follow and not get overwhelmed by it all. Seriously, using the same shape but just changing the height of different parts of the build blew my mind.
I am always blown away by your tutorials. Thank you so much
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!
You are my favorite Minecraft builder. Love your ideas and dedication to sharing with your fans. I'm working through building your medieval castle and have just started on the interior. I've really enjoyed it and appreciate the tutorials! Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much! Such an upgrade for my hole-in-the-ground house.
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.
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!
Very valuable lesson here, thank you! I can't wait to get back to my bland builds to jazz them up a bit!
Roofs are always the hardest part for me, I recently learned I can do it before the walls and it can help
Tysm blue for these amazing tip it really helps me alot and also it mean a lot to us so tysm!!💙🎀💙
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
one of the best tutorials on youtube. lots of youtubers talk about it, and many show what they talk about, but this was very thorough and clear for me. i'm practicing with this build now
this video is great! it answered all of my questions about buidling. great work blue!
WOW! This is one of the best bulding tutorials in Minecraft! Thanks a lot!
This guy kinda sounds like a offbrand Jason Statham...
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.
This is soo HELPFUL & organized. Def deserves more love
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!
Nice, these are the types of videos I love.
Thank you so much for your time and effort. Love these videos, hopefully my realm will start to improve.
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.
Loved the video! Do the interior next please :)
Love these practical useful tips! Thanks
Thank you Inge, I'm glad they was helpful =)
Some golden tips. I'm going to have to re-watch and take notes! I really liked the tip about making sure additions to the side of a building are smaller than that side. I JUST ran into that problem making my windmill stairwell.
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! :)
Amazing blue!!!! I love how your always the best at builds 🤗
Thank you Laura, I'm glad you enjoyed it =)
The hardest thing for me is make the roof fits nice with diferents shapes
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.
Love how simple you make it, very inspiring for me to build in my survival world
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 CZcams 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 😉
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 CZcams channel members
@@BlueNerdMC No problem :) And once again thanks for making this guide!
This one video was so incredibly helpful, I don't even have words. Thank you, Blue.
I’ve seen so many building tips/tutorial videos but this video is by far the best one. The different designs you showed with the same layout just shows that you can do so much in minecraft and you explained everything so well!!
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
Watching a tutorial on how to be unique and then copying his builds
This is not a tutorial, and the copying of my own build is to show variation and changes that can make buildings unique depending on how you change them up.
EDIT: Sorry buddy I miss your comment, my brain was still sleeping, lol.
I think they were saying they were going to copy your build (and tutorials) because they want your builds, not their own. :)
@Typort816 Opps, I totally miss read that. Thanks for pointing it out buddy, although the comment was edited which could be why I miss read it. My bad
This is amazing! High quality and different tips than I’ve seen before! Wahoo
This was fantastic. Thank you so much for all your hard work. It really opened my mind to possibilities.
Brilliant video, im just getting back into it, as i had an alpha copy. Trying to introduce this to my niece and nephew. I think people are drawn to making symmetrical houses and from your plan view of your layout, i can see how actually theres a lot more charm making them odd
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
Really great video, I've read or heard many of these tips before but you've actually clearly and simply demonstrated how to apply them and why they work. Super helpful! Cheers :D
potentially the most helpful and informative noob to pro video i've ever seen
Extremely helpful! I may start videos now that someone has explained it like this! I feel my survival worlds will change a lot now
Really good tips. I always have such a hard time coming up with good looking builds, but then again I don't pay much attention to the layout and how it can help the creative process later on. I mostly stick to redstone, but I really want to make more builds I can actually enjoy. I'll try this method out.
This is amazing! I’ve always wanted to get better at building, but the videos never seemed to click except for these videos! Thank you!
I love your builds and your tips. You are definitely my favorite builder, thanks
Incredibly helpful tips, thanks! Subbed :D
Very helpful ❤. Making detail very important to make the house look beautiful. Thank you!😍
i literally love you i’ve improved so much at building just by watching this
Thanks for the vid, I has having a bit of a hard time making it work for medieval style houses but after a couple tries I came up with something decent.
