    Hi gang, if I sounded a tiny bit sick it’s because I was!! I did most of the building whilst I was ill and only felt well enough to record the voice over today. Give me sympathy likes on the video because I’m a poor sick boy of 29 years of age

  • @LycantheFirst
    @LycantheFirst Před rokem +17

    Seeing you build the templates and then placing them and connecting them really helped me. Just for the fact of having something and using it in different ways in the same area can make it look so different. I think in my mind I keep thinking I have to have lots of really different buildings for it to look expansive but seeing them being placed and just modified I can take that idea in my survival building.

    Im a huge fan of these types of builds. There’s something so cool about watching a city being constructed from the ground up. Great video, I hope we can see more like this.

    This is so cool! I can see a book series taking place here, perhaps different views from characters in each of the housing areas all coming together into a big finale

    Joel has improved so much I loved the Elven style one you did in a 24 hour challenge but this was just incredible even the editing it was so smooth and the different camera angles were the cherry on top amazing work :)

    This looks nothing short of beautiful and amazing 😄 and it just blows my mind how good you are at coming up with color schemes and designs like this - this is truly a testament to what you can do as builder - and it’s just astounding that all that is done in only 24 hours 😆 - bravo Joel such talent, this a city every sultan should be proud to rule over 👏😄

    this is so impressive honestly ❤️❤️ it takes me a while to build houses in minecraft and seeing how much joel built in twenty four hours with this style makes me want to start a new world and build in a desert!
