31 Minecraft Building Tips, Tricks and Hacks You Must Try

[@BlueNerdMC]

I'm finally back and I hope you all enjoy this new style tips video. Sorry there haven't been no new videos the last few weeks, I've been recovering from Covid which took longer than I would have liked but i'm back and feeling much now. Thank you everyone for your amazing support as always, love you all ❤️

[@sentinel_2551]

Hi

[@samanthastaley8836]

Glad you came through covid okay

[@jenshaw8085]

I’m sorry Covid was hard on you 🥺 Take care and thank you for your videos

[@zeeksparrow9020]

Glad you are on the mend.

[@inge6280]

Glad you’re recovering well!

[@darknesswave100]

These were such good tips that I'd never even considered. It's always nice learning something new. Just looking around your cities and stuff you can really see the crazy details and it makes everything stand out. It looks really nice. Definitely looking forward to that custom tree video also cause I've always wanted to do some but I've never known where to start with that

[@vindiesel564]

I’ve played Minecraft since bamboo wasn’t even a thing and I still make buildings that are crimes against humanity

This man is one of the only youtubers that actually responds to his fans. He deserves to have atleast 1 Milligan subs.

[@BlueNerdMC]

Thanks buddy =)

[@blandwagon374]

There are lots of people who read and respond to their comments

Milligan

I now realise I said millgun not Million

milligan should be the name of the million subscriber achievement

[@dios_loyalservant]

One of my favorite unique floorings is dried kelp block. It give a really cozy and rustic vibe. I use it in small amounts like in a small kitchen or around a bed

[@nudg]

Loved this video - especially the use of the azalea bushes as hedges. I often use saplings as an alternative to fence posts to make my 'little' trees. The saplings won't grow with the leaves on top (unless you make the mistake of matching the sapling to the leaves!) I've grown full trees and then knocked out the bottom trunks and replaced them with fence posts too! Another thing I did in the latest scenarios was to put the flowering azalea into a pot instead of using cactus or dead bush for a stem and then put a block of flowering azalea leaves on top instead. It makes a bush about 2 blocks high with excellent movement and flowers all the way through. Azalea bushes are my newest fave! PS: Glad you are feeling better, and thank you so much for all of the inspiration that you provide that pushes me to really look at what I'm building!

[@Drossjr98]

Great overview on the small things that really matter in any build and showing us how to get that to work. Love the string one as I was one of those people that threw that stuff away and now I keep it forever along with feathers. Hope you are really feeling better and fantastic to see your videos again. Can not wait for the next.😄☕

[@roaringfir3837]

Welcome back Blue, I hope you’re feeling better. I’ve been loving your tips and tricks, I can’t wait for your custom tree video. Your skills are amazing!

[@ChickenTendersFLG]

This guy gets straight to the point and straight to the building. Every time I watch any other tutorials the KZbinrs talk for 30 minutes straight before every few blocks they place when they could have summarized everything they said into 2 minutes

[@JayDeeMC]

Great tips as always. Some reminded me of things I've done before, but for some reason, I haven't done recently. I need to add some of these ideas to my builds!

[@kairuwuu]

welcome back!! glad you're getting better

[@ZombonoMC]

Wow thank you so much for all your tips. Your the reason why my minecraft survival world looks amazing 😁

[@Dreymasmith]

Great catalogue of all those little details that bring a build to life. Nice one Blue!

[@xpandorasboxx]

In addition to using corals as lily pads and rugs, you can use them to make chicken nests! Or nests in general, but needing the water logged slab, chicken and other ground-bird nests are the best. It's the same process, but you can add an item frame and an egg before you add the coral on top. They're really cute! I do the same method with lily pads, only with a gold block / golden nugget. You can move the item around in the frame too for more variation. Looking forward to the custom tree video, I've been wanting to experiment more with custom trees, but am not sure how the best way to go about it is.

[@Hivelagclips]

Can you show us your builds without shaders

[@Yellowball01]

Real.

[@tcbobb.8782]

Gets minecraft yesterday, insane love of legos overflows as I boot up. Overwhelmed with ideas, dont know where to start, look up yt vids, 100+ about making a house in survival. About to give up. Finds kitchen hacks. 4hours later and now I have found my love of legos again. Tysm! This game is so amazing!

[@fernoflake]

Feels good knowing that I picked most of these tips up just by watching you and other builders, but this is a great video for beginner builders.

[@johnjohnsin3762]

On the topic of the direction you place blocks, you can do so many different patterns with a single block. Basalt is an excellent example, my online skyblock has foundation built to limit from x to y, that leaves a lot of room to play with patterns.

[@msmith5525]

Thanks!

[@BlueNerdMC]

Thank you so much Matt =)

[@kennethd2412]

Number 32, HAVE SHADERS

[@artchick8024]

Thanks Blue...always soooooo POSITIVE! Love your ideas and tips and your message. Can't wait to catch you in the next one!

[@arashrubby9134]

Comes exactly at the right time :] I started a hardcoreworld just yesterday do it will help a lot :D

[@MuricaTurkey]

The tips re: wood block flooring patterns are so simple and yet I never considered using them in such a way. You can make what is essentially a parquet floor! Very inspiring, thank you!

[@elfish_jedi]

Trapdoors are also useful in support structures to give a level of depth and make it look solid

[@pancua978]

Yay! More building tips!!!

[@carlymacshane7136]

Trap doors are just the best honestly. Everything I make always has like 300 or more trapdoors. They are just SO useful!!!

[@chriscrowe9234]

MIND-------------------------------------BLOWN!!!!!!!!!!! These are such beautiful designs! MY GOOOOOOODDDDDNNNNNNNNEEEESSSSSS! LOVE IT! Keep up the good work!

[@Mirpurmad]

the house is a beauty at 00:05:55

[@pldevine71]

Such great tips! Downside, I find, with the awesome looking trapdoors as balcony and stair rails are my Villagers who go bailing off the side of my balconies...I constantly hear that squeaky "ooof" every morning...LOL

[@hylobateslar4151]

I like to use a checkerboard spruce plank and upside-down barrel pattern as a floor texture. It is just interesting enough to look nice, but without distracting too much.

[@ChrisMarissael]

Nice vid. I'd be interested in seeing cards on screen to hop over to the other videos of yours that showcase the builds in more detail when you show them off in the future - e.g. if you show a detail from the docks, a card will pop out with a link to that tutorial for anyone interested in checking it out.

[@amalia2669]

Nice to see you back blue hope you feel better!

[@Eggsolotl]

Glad you're feeling better 💙

[@gypsymelon]

Wow! Beautiful builds, great information. Thank you so much!🙂

[@official_yungbug]

It amazes me how there are so many opportunities with Minecraft and it's creativity!

[@yara7802]

Wow!! What an amazing video, such nice tips im gonna definitely apply in to my little cozy building world. Thank you!!

[@fnafplayer6447]

One of my personal favorite floors when making a cozy hallway would have to be a checker pattern of spruce and oak especially having the pressure plates with the doors.

[@gmc9987]

I'm sure someone else probably mentioned this, but as of 1.18 you can now use shears to stop plants from growing - just right-click on the tile at the perfect height of the vine or cane that you want, all the pieces above (or below) will fall off like normal but the plant will now never grow again. String is still useful to block snowfall on certain tiles you want free of snow, but for plants you can now manually set them to whatever height you want.

[@gmc9987]

Works on all vines, sugar cane, and bamboo. Not sure if it works on saplings, though.

[@bendynotbend]

Never new this, thanks so much!

[@motherofnerdlings]

Welcome back BlueNerd! Glad to see you back ! And another well done video 💜

[@Jakedaniels3914]

I am SO EXCITED for the custom tree video. I suck and would love to learn how to do them.

[@kapitankinnit]

BlueNerd I subscribed you for a long time and see your building hacks before but now you really improved!!!your skills to design to be turned stunning is great keep it up!

[@bingus1932]

If you're in creative mode, structure void blocks can be used in replacement of string. You can go through them, but blocks and liquids can't. The best part is that there is no outline when you hover your cursor over it.

[@user-nx2vw3du3o]

Looks like Grian has some competition!

[@arcies9286]

Sheesh, I'm early this time lol. Amazing tips, and great content as per always.

[@LainBinnie]

Awesome video! Great helpful tips 👍🏼👍🏼

This was great! You are such a nice youtuber.

[@ricardorsg8430]

Hey blue can you do a video on desert related builds?great content.

[@GeofferyBlevins-in4bm]

1:00 Love simple garden ideas. great building

[@__-kj1nt]

You can also use structure voids instead of barrier blocks. The plants underneath won’t grow, but you’ll still be able to walk trough the block.

[@ricardorsg8430]

Hello love your video amazing as always ❤

[@xlleduardollxsurvival6848]

Hi my friend!! Im happy that you're fine now. Is good to see you again. Take care buddy, and take your time. We always be here waiting for your next video 😉

Man the 500k is getting close it’s crazy all the way from the bottom now we are here waiting

Thank you Winters, I can't believe how close we are getting, being this close to 500k is insane, never did I expect the channel to come this far. Thanks for the support buddy =)

Hey, Blue! Glad you're back! Where have you been? I was wondering where you've been.

[@BlueNerdMC]

Thank you Gracemarie, sorry for the lack of videos I caught Covid over the Christmas and it's taken me a while to recover, but i'm feeling better now and back to making videos so loads more on the way =)

[@ItsuKomodo]

Glad you're back! Great refreshing video.

[@cinderheart2720]

Do you plan on doing any vids like this that incorporate the items from the newer updates?

[@theinkrypted]

As opposed to other videos I’ve watched, this one actually has good building tips and has helped me. Thanks for the great ideas and info :)

[@SethXB]

In recent 1.19 updates, you can prevent crop growth simply by clicking the top of the plant with shears, setting its age to a max of 25 preventing further growth!!!

[@BlueNerdMC]

Yes with 1.19 you can do that with some things but it don't work on all crops, it only works for kelp, glow berries, twisting vines and weeping vines.

[@SethXB]

@@BlueNerdMC I mean yea, anything that uses "age" but still. Who knows, they might make most if not all plants preventable.

[@maryfrance2666]

I love building with u. Ur ideas and designs are absolutely spectacular!!! We are lucky to have u and I appreciate all u bring to ur fans. Thk u Blue. Thk u so very much. Many blessings to u.

[@FieldyCraft]

Amazing ideas! Thanks Blu!

[@Linardminecraft]

Awesome video man! Great ideas and super inspiring ❤️

[@dyroth]

I saw your Instagram hasn’t been updated in a year, and I think that’d be a great place to showcase these individual techniques, especially the shrubbery ones at the end, instead of having to scrub through a KZbin video. I love your designs, and I have an Instagram folder full of building techniques that I would love to have your builds in!

[@janeanderson5197]

Hiya, nice to see you back uploading 😀 and doing!

[@cinny.]

Can't wait for that custom tree episode, this is something I struggle with.

[@nickpatrick7021]

The lecterns as railings thing is a revelation. And here I've been giving them to villagers like a fool

[@adneid]

Welcome back! Glad you're feeling better! :)

[@dr.sl0th203]

I normally mine a lot and don’t worry about building but I’ve been trying to get into making my builds look nice this video definitely helped, thanks a ton

[@mariethesizzler]

That's a beautiful world! 😍 I wish I could build like that

[@VZE3]

You are so inspirational bro. Thanks for being part of KZbin, you're so underrated. I hope you have a great day.

What is the flooring at 3:56 that looks like stripped dark oak/spruce but isn’t?

[@BlueNerdMC]

It's stripped dark oak wood laid in alternating directions =)

[@dylanspencer1153]

So happy to see you back at it. Just a year ago we were building the castle. Would love if you got back into making videos more frequently.

[@BlueNerdMC]

Thanks Dylan, I should be getting back into regular videos again in the next week or so, i've been working on some large builds for the tutorial series and have only recently recovered from having covid as well which made it hard to record. But I'm feeling better now so things will be getting back to a better recording schedule =)

[@NickProkhorenko]

I really liked the design and patterns of the floor, it’s the first time I’ve seen something like this on KZbin, it looks stylish. I’ll definitely use this in my modern home, but with other blocks, the main idea here.

[@excylexy]

So many good tips, holy crap! Thank you so much for making this video, and also your editing skills are on point! :)

[@jam.53]

These are such great tips!! I'm going to be making a modern mansion, Could you maybe make a new one thats modern? I mean if you haven't made one, please do! 😁
