Building a Castle The Way Mojang Intended It

[@BrickyMySticky]

Honestly, their design is not bad. It feels grounded and real while also being detailed. It definitely encapsulates medieval architecture pretty well.

[@datcheesecakeboi6745]

[@raviolilad9232]

Despite how old the design is, it holds up quite well, it's quite simplistic but I think it adds to the charm

[@Jongolorian]

Honestly it is a good style for this build whereas most new mojang builds have this style of simplicity but shove in all the new blocks and it doesn't look right and all the older blocks are built in a way that just os weird. Wish they brought these books back they were great:)

[@absolutezerochill2700]

Its not too... but the walls being the same as the ceiling and floors also lead to it looking like a Wolfenstein 3d Map... so.

I like the build, it's reminiscent of the early days of Minecraft where we're only offered by a decent amount of building blocks compared to what we have now. I hope Minecraft makes updated guides of these building tutorials, albeit with a few variations of the same build using the new building blocks of the recent updates.

The structures outside the barracks in the yard were ornamental representations of straw training dummies traditionally used to practice technique in preparation for wartime, traditionally, there would be a circle where the sand would go for sparring, leaving cobbled granite rocks for the technique area. The variation in flooring was to lessen the blow for soldiers in training, if the lord they served was wealthy enough, though often this would just be substituted by packed mud, because it was cheaper.

[@venom_candy]

Luckily Minecraft has packed mud now!

[@OscarOSullivan]

Castles like lighthouses benefit from less is more. Towerhouses were the most common castle in Ireland due to how easy they are to build.

[@malthemontin5637]

I like that you try to showcase when you build, a lot of creators just cut to when they are done or just don’t show gameplay, as much anymore, maybe you can do even more of that?

[@datbird12]

I actually have used this book many times in my dad and I's mc world for our castle, obvi not these exact buildings but i skimmed through for inspiration since i don't really know what buildings were in a medieval town. this book slaps and i hope they remaster it at some point

[@MGSLurmey]

At 4:30; those are NOT EMBRASURES. They are BATTLEMENTS or CRENELLATIONS which are comprised of the raised barriers called Merlons and the spaces between them called Crenels. Embrasures are an example of a hole in a solid wall for a soldier to shoot through. An arrowslit is a type of embrasure. To be even more clear, the definition even shown on-screen says specifically that an embrasure is a SMALL opening that is splayed on the inside. Battlements are not small nor splayed on the inside. There is one instance in which crenels were later called embrasures when used for cannon fire, but in the context of a medieval castle, this is not the case.

[@michaelbowman6684]

I think maybe the building times in the book are accounting for you creating these builds in survival, which involves limited resources and inventory space, having to do things like smelt stone to make stone bricks, craft stone brick stairs and fences and torches, farm trees for wood, on top of building these structures without flight or fall damage immunity. Just a guess, though.

[@FuriousGuy1234]

I know this was made by Mojang but this was actually really cool

[@Don-ds3dy]

A lot of people forget but like 1/5 or more of the structure is going to be underground both for stability and to prevent siegers from digging underneath...though Minecraft doesn't really have issues with that.

OK, since you mentioned build time on the turret, I think it was called, given the only way it could take Mojang a long time to a build the turrets, is cause they were counting survival mode and included all four turrets. (And excluding resource collection, maybe including time to reach a corner)
