Glass Waterfalls :: Building with Bdubs

[@awesley1725]

i feel like the green glass works in the same way that painting chicken wire fences black makes it "invisible" lots of science stuff about colors and how eyeballs works its saturday don't feel like typing an essay

[@toreole5831]

Hah i just commented basically the same thing

[@RagingViking901]

Fair 😅❤

[@swift9049]

I, agree but I think the chicken fence works (and im not optical scientist) by the fact that bare metal is highly reflective, while the black fencing is non reflective and doesn’t catch your eye as much

[@jasonmccall3950]

I was thinking the same thing. Lol

[@froodlenoodle]

the end of this comment is such a vibe

[@jjeffguy5227]

Gotta say, I really appreciate the "vibe" of these past few episodes. Slightly more laid back, talking about whatever's been on your mind, and whatever you're building.. It's been a nice watch, as always! The waterfall and the mountain look great btw..!

[@sun-door]

couldn't agree more

[@Lumiere192]

22:24 canal is the word you’re looking for

[@greengriffin]

Channel as an alternative

[@Trisador9]

Or if he specifically meant the Amsterdam/Dutch ones in the cities it would be a "gracht."

[@gordonshumway2532]

In Amsterdam they are called Gracht =)

[@mennonis]

yeah we have the seperate words for "kanaal" like a man made river between cities, and "gracht", which is a waterway inside a city or around a city. For trade or for defense.

[@andrekuipers7978]

A nice example of a canal within a city is "de oude gracht" in the city of "Utrecht ". They have some vaulted cellars and nice docking platforms. Makes the build less boring.

[@TheLowelyArtist]

as an artist, i want to thank you bdubs. i’ve thought this for a while but i never commented, everything you use and explain about building can be in some way applied to visual art (at least the ones i do.) you explaining depth and texture and shadows and everything. how you explain your texture in builds like where would moisture get trapped resulting in darker blocks under ledges and such, or some blue on the roof if the greenhouse to show the sky reflecting off, etc. theres so many things you do and explain so well that can be applies to art so i just wanted to thank you bdubs!

[@grapestastelikecheese]

Seriously, watching his videos kind of feels like you're watching a minecraft Bob Ross

[@eddiekr]

i feel like the spore blossom in the greenhouse was a great example of playing in survival vs creative, cus in creative that’d just be a spore blossom, but in survival it’s much more special and if you hadnt collected it last episode you wouldnt have had it

[@CalvinCopyright]

BDubs, the way Xisuma ages his copper blocks in bulk involves putting a full 2d layer of fully oxidized copper blocks down, then putting a full 2d layer of unoxidized blocks on top of that. It slows down the oxidation rate of individual blocks, actually, but since he can oxidize 16 blocks in the space it used to take to oxidize 1, the overall rate of oxidations per minute is faster. If you've got a small number of copper blocks, the fastest way to oxidize them is still to put them 4 blocks apart.

[@funkytotoro6149]

The subtle difference between the white and green glass is amazing. From the outside the white felt gave the illusion to me of a lot of humidity trapped inside, like youd really feel the sticky air as you walk through the doors. But the green definitely gives a better view of whats in there as well as fitting into the larger context of the city a bit better. Very enjoyable stuff to watch, as per usual.

[@LynVA]

as someone who recently swapped from survival to creative on a world, i found i no longer have the urge to build with a purpose, i used to build things like storage for certain block/item types like you, and i used to mix form and function, such as a working forge for smelting that tells me when im low on fuel by cutting the fire out of a chimney. so id say survival is definitely the way to go, creative completely changes how you perceive the game in ways people might not expect

[@majakukulska7650]

Yes! Ive done the same. At first i had all those plans done in survival and then i got bored of the grind so i switched. But after i completed all of that im lost on what to do next. Also i have no motivation to do inside decor. What for if nobody is going to go inside

[@Mvllon]

[@eliotburke1685]

I’m sort of doing the opposite right now where sometimes I get dejected by the lack of available options to build early in the game so I just live in a bunker until I have enough blocks to build what I want, so I’m building like a little town in creative, to play in survival , and it’s making me think of purposes of buildings and leaving room to improve things in survival, it’s been an interesting experience and I’ve been having a lot of fun.

[@MultiHogleg]

A man made walled river is called a canal - you might want to look into locks - they allow the water to change height in a contained space, for boats to travel through inclines - in the UK we have flights of locks - look up images of Hatton locks, or Foxton locks for an example, you might also be interested in weirs - many directions possible with this!

[@JuliusAlberto-p7s]

I actually enjoy the rain way more on KZbin than I do in game. I find myself feeling a lingering anxiety when I'm playing and it starts raining. But when it rains when KZbinrs are playing, it just feels more peaceful and gives a new view to their beautiful builds.

[@lerhmand6768]

I completely agree!

[@pewdiefriesms]

In regards to if survival is holding you back, as a writer, what I learned for magic systems is that limitations breed creativity. It's more interesting what your magic can't do than what it can. That can be adapted to minecraft building in a way. The limited resources and harder to get resources can cause you to think outside the box for substitutes. And sometimes the infinite resources and amount of blocks can cause choice paralysis or cause you to think too big and forget the smaller details. Just my perspective.

[@dittymargoo]

I agree. I play modded survival where the number of blocks can seem limitless and I get stumped for choice. But I find myself coming back to vanilla blocks all the time.

[@imperfectimp]

I agree. Also, I found that taking it slower in survival gives you more time to think and make meaningful choices. Although I do sometimes wish I had easier access to things like dark prismarine or froglights.

[@Tunedwastaken]

I always have problems with the amount of blocks in Minecraft. It always overwhelms me and I can never just.. figure out what to use.

[@toreole5831]

Green glass being „more transparent“ might be due to the same reason as black-painted chicken wire fences appearing nearly invisible. Your brain only pays attention to things that are bright, so anything dark and transparent in front of something brighter and well lit is less noticable

Hey Bdubs, for copper to age it has to get random ticks which only happen for chunks whose center is < 128 blocks from a player. So your simulation distance doesn't matter. Love the terrain and the waterfalls! Your work with glass is amazing.

[@Lauriieton]

i think the survival aspect adds a lot, gives purpose to the buildings, gives it life, a story, and a greater sense of accomplishment. the biggest thing seems to be the purpose of the buildings though, they wouldn't feel anywhere near as special or justified if they didn't serve an actual purpose, and the form is often informed by the actual function which i think is beautiful. creative tends to diminish the "why", and i think the "why" is the engine behind most architecture, architecture is a solution - creative mode has no problems.

[@Lauriieton]

@@JudgeJudy17 yeh definitely, most of the buildings are made for a distinct purpose, which helps give them form and meaning. he is building a town that matters, and even the otherwise purely aesthetic installations like the mountain are made important as a result, they contribute to something bigger.

[@Mr.Beandip-ve9iz]

I absolutely agree. For me at least, everything I build in creative is a proof of concept for something functional I will make in survival. I can build well, but all my good ideas have a reason to exist. I've also seen this in other areas, such as a cool looking part on a robot I've worked on being added originally to protect it.

[@minosegdelwonk7851]

I like the rain. Not all the time, but I like the atmosphere it brings and a new level of immersion for the build. For example, the greenhouse's new green glass felt even more appropriate during the rain, as the algae & moss would be thriving.

[@ibrakeforbirds]

Glass masterclass coming up ✨❤ Edit to answer the rain question - I like watching it in non timelapse gameplay, it brings a wholesome cosy vibe 🌧️

[@TMMarrow]

Yeah, me to, although I think he was mentioning the KZbin bitrate. When there is a lot of activity on screen, like rain, it causes problems with the quality of the video, where everything loses its quality or looks a little blurred.

[@ItsEalain]

I feel like you are very right about the creative mode concept; as someone that has built in creative for a VERY long time then moved to survival, it really does feel like most blocks are sacred in their own special way. every stair feels like it's handled with care, and when you see large projects that you worked on in the past, it feels better than something that was built quickly in creative. I see creative more like the dress rehearsal to the actual play that is survival. With enough rehearsals, you memorize how things work and how blocks fit together.

[@link2089]

Bdubs! I love the rain, but it’s hard on youtube. I suggest getting the unobtrusive rain texture pack from vanilla tweaks, I think it’ll help a lot!

[@HaydenCMH]

Alternatively, he could upload in 1440p or 4K with a higher bitrate (which I think would complement his video style very well)... but I acknowledge that is a large pipeline shift and requires much more work than a simple resource pack :)

11:40 to have your hands move in opposite directions, you can practice by touching you fingers together at the top and bottom of the circle. Flick them past each other, move them down, flick your finger again and then move up.

The only creator whose "quick commercial break" I will actually laugh at and watch... you should charge sponsors more for that! Also, I liked that you took time to enjoy and refine a previous build. A lot of creators make something and then it's just on to the next project.

[@VaryaEQ]

Maybe that was the point of that cheeky "give Bdubs ONE MILLION DOLLARS" at the end. Had to watch that through on the slowest playback speed multiple times. Wouldn't even show up when I played frame by frame (playpause, playpause...). The menace.

[@cwuerp2486]

Speaking as an artist and creator, I feel like part of building in survival, is using the resources you have available….and how to creatively use those resources to convey your vision. You give the creative process time to flow and evolve…something the generation of “instant gratification” doesn’t understand. It’s like saving money to get that something special you really want instead of using a credit card to buy it immediately. You appreciate things more. You my dear sir, appreciate the process and pride of working for your art and don’t ever change!

[@Taov]

honestly i love seeing the rain in videos. it adds atmosphere and makes things feel different from the always sunny summer days that creators prefer

[@asimo3089]

Lovely building today. I had some ideas... 1. You mentioned trees shrinking landscape work. I wonder if you could get away with something like fenceposts and a few leaf blocks to create tinier trees just on the hillside of your mountain. 2. Your mountain is WIP, you said so! Bringing in some dirt on the bottom might help blend it with minecraft's world generation. Minecraft is always kinda heavy on dirt usage. Again, nice work today and relaxing to watch.

[@StarNanny]

Xisuma put oxidized under. Not next to. Apparently the vertical alignment matters. 🤷‍♀️ I considered the white glass in the greenhouse represented the mist indoors caused by the temperature difference from outdoors. 🤔 Such small spaces! Ideally, one would have vertical windows with mostly clear glass in the middle, some misty white in upper corners and a bit of the top, green in lower corners that would be in shadow because of awnings or trees or North side of building. Maybe panes would make some of this possible?🤷‍♀️ Scientifically, clear glass allows the most natural food for photosynthesis. Fun stuff: red light = shorter plants but more fruit/flowers, blue = more, heavier fruit, shorter plants, iffy depending on plants requiring long or short day.

[@RePorpoised]

also, the copper might be aging a little to close to each other. That can also really impact things.

[@killduivel]

[@NovastarDoughnut]

6:30 i mean i think the thing is that a large part of the satisfaction in the creative process of minecraft is the collection element. like yes obviously creative mode exists and for those who just want to build impressive things it will always be there. but a part of the satisfaction in survival and a part of the fun watching stuff like Hermitcraft IS knowing it was all aqquired by hand. its the same satisfaction you get when you know a painting was made by the artist collecting their own flowers and making their own dyes. like they couldve just brought paints but instead they made their own for this specific purpose.

[@ProjectKhopesh]

That's the thing, though; it's perfectly possible to make masterwork paintings without doing all the prep work by hand. The art itself can and should be able to stand on its own. Sure, it's fine to appreciate the extra work someone spends on the back end, but it's not necessary for fine art. It's absolutely possible for someone to be held back by sinking all that time in on the invisible front end because their time practicing the craft of painting is limited by practicing the craft of prepping.

[@RePorpoised]

@@ProjectKhopesh something another said was that survival encourages detail work. The place will have a tangible presence, he'll be around it often enough to appreciate a properly done interior, thus it becomes easier to remain motivated to do things, and do them well. Being able to create faster is nice, but the motivation to create needs to come from somewhere. It's thus better to have more reasons why you would want to build something, instead of merely "because i wanted to" and little more. It's likely why people have processes they follow. It gives them time to breathe between ideas, to work their way up to their project. But it is a fair point, that too much prepping can halt things. For most people, survival and creative become two extremes, one demands great amounts of time to prep, the other almost none at all. I suppose a fair balance is the Hermitcraft server. Prep work can be dramatically sped up with a few diamonds or a nice little trade deal. That's part of the fun of playing on a server with infrastructure.

So personally, i love seeing more rain, especially in your little village here and in Gemeni Tay's builds this hermitcraft season.

[@J0SAX]

To make a way for the waterfalls to be possible without having to build a big lake at the top or something could be to make a moorland at the top. While it may be a little bit not 100% real world accurate rivers do start at moorlands usually. So using mud and podzol, and coarse dirt mixed in with brown and grey glass and some plants could make a nice old big moorland. Never know could be a good work around. Also for the river at the bottom of the mountain, if you made some parts human engineered then making a water lock and barges would be a really fun addition and could make a way for it to connect to the higher elevation areas.

[@mikekuppen6256]

If you´re going to have a high natural waterfall it´s generally coming out of the side of a mountain, not from the top. Technically the top could work if you had a big plateau but otherwise it´s unlikely for there to be a marsh OR a lake up there. Especially if you have a big ole waterfall draining the water all the time. Looks pretty though.

[@LukeCunningham]

9:56 is exactly what makes survival special, there’s story and excitement to the special flower now finding a home in the greenhouse, in creative it would have just been some detail item you picked out of the menu the first time you built it and the world would be less alive because of it.

[@kygigni]

I'd add an even higher part of the mountain behind the one you've already built and make a glacier slowly melting and therefore creating rivers and waterfalls. That would look really cool in my opinion.

[@vinsto]

Bdubs is the Bob Ross of Minecraft, and I love that

[@ProBeansEater]

Although the rain in Minecraft doesn’t come close to the intoxicating effect a good rainy day has on me, I still enjoy it. The darker sky is a lot more gentle on the eyes. I wish I could cover myself to sleep to the sound of the raindrops every night and be greeted by the earthy scent of petrichor every morning.

[@TheFuryKat]

22:15: The word you were trying to think of was "canal". What you're intending to build sounds more along the lines of a channelized river; the river's existence and rough placement is from a natural cause, but people have forced it into a singular path with man-made walls, and often a straighter path. A canal is similar, but might not occur along the natural path of a river. The straighter paths mean the water runs faster. The man-made walls mean the river's path is literally set in stone, instead of changing like it naturally wants to over the years. A river is usually channelized because people are building close to it and need the path to stay the same, but this practice often increases the risk of destructive flooding, as, again, the water is already moving faster, and the natural banks have been removed where the river used to be able to swell during a flood event, cranking the pressure up to move the water even faster.

I'm finally caught up with all of Building with Bdubs S3 and thank you so much for all of this series. I'm a long time redstoner who always gave up before trying decoration because I would look at the "finished" products my builder friends achieved and dismiss it as "outside of my talents." You have given me some guidance on how to think about these projects, reminded me that the process never ends and I don't have to bang out a completed work in a single sitting. Or even in a single month. I've built a few small things I'm really proud of and am already looking to improve on, as well as a few sketched in shapes I'm excited to detail when the ideas form. All thanks to you.

[@HeWhoShams]

Building with creative is like a factory that mass produces rocking chairs. It gets the job done, that's for sure. Building in survival is like a master craftsman planing each piece, carving out perfect joints, making sure the grain lines up in a appeasing way. You could raise a town in a hour in creative but, I think, you would lose that on the ground detail. Things would get built so fast you might forget a key detail. I love the survival aspect to your world.

[@-sturmfalke-]

BDUBS! At 6:26 you broke two stained glass that you didn't replace at 6:54! Edit: Is there actually a limit to your artistic talent? Not only are the videos edited perfectly, the building is hands down the best i've ever seen in minecraft. I would have never thought a human could achieve this level of detail, yet here it is. The top of the mountain is really flat, if you introduce some height variation, some carved away rocks and the river splitting on a large boulder, add a lake on another, even higher, large step on the mountain where the river that produces the waterfalls originates, and have a few more stoney slopes on that step behind the lake, it would really tie the whole thing together. Also as a tip, to make the large waterfalls more plausible, you could thin them out a bit more on the top, as many real waterfalls do. The wind on the sharp edge disperses the water, make it look more than it is, so the actual source of the waterfalls doesn't even have to be that large.

[@KamiKomplex504]

I love the rain in Minecraft especially when the music starts. Or coming out from the mines like oh it's raining. And it casts builds in different lights so I like it when youtubers include it.

0:24 can we institutionalize that not finishing something's back is "graining it"?

[@teamersbegone7314]

Whos this mysterious grain character🗣️

[@yhayaalam651]

I love it

[@PPPP-yi6mv]

sure? idk what cereal crops have to do with building tho XD can someone enlighten me on the joke?

For the why with the waterfall in the mountain, we have something in Florida call aquifers, which is essentially a spring which comes from underground and constantly fills our springs with fresh water which is actually where we get our drinking water from as well, so maybe you can put a small spring or something up there and you can have a cave full of water

17:30 Happy to hear you got some well deserved morning head after all that building. Props to your perfect wife

I feel like 'Building with Bdubs' series really deserves at least 1440p video quality now 😙

[@evanrobison567]

Those waterfalls are a beaut!

I like seeing the rain in the Minecraft videos - the nice atmosphere translates through the screen, and the change in brightness isn't so much that it's annoying or anything. If anything, it's a little easier on the eyes than the bright sunny sky sometimes.

You are one of the best, if not the best builders there is. Now i see how you got so good. You not only study what youre trying to build but you study shadows/highlights, shapes, color theory, and you arent affraid to push yourself to try knew techniques. I admire how far you go to make your build as incredible as they are.

8:31 I think the rain is unique to the game, but when visually enhancing a world like the better clouds mod, I like using a mod called 'particle rain' it enhances the rain in a client-side manor and is for fabric :)

[@RobertFisher1969]

Another reason I like building in survival is the challenge of figuring out how to build without being able to just fly around. It's much more satisfying to me to know both that I collected the resources, crafted the blocks, and figured out how to place them.

I love rain in Minecraft, it's so cozy and atmospheric. I never understood KZbinrs hatred for it, they always blame not using it because it ruins the quality of the video, but I've never noticed or thought that? I'd love to see more in videos!

Was casually scrolling through looking for an embroidery tutorial and nearly spat out my tea at the thumbnail of this video - this is just GORGEOUS Artistry in Minecraft to a whole other scale ✨

[@IsochronyxMC]

Bdubs, I think you should turn that outcropping into a tepui...no mystical water source needed! (Look up Mount Roraima for reference.)

[@ThatShadowknight]

I just went to Norway this August, and the waterfalls you made remind me so much of the many I took pictures of there. I've actually been experimenting with glass waterfalls myself the last few months, and both yours and all the ones I've seen have been a massive inspiration. Keep up the good work!

[@TheWizoid]

i really like seeing bdubs go back and change the texturing and colour work on previous builds - it's a nice way to keep everything in the same style as his style evolves :)

[@Tars563]

I think one of the reasons the glass river worked so well on hermitcraft is the smaller scale and dimmer environment under the trees. Here, I think I think there needs to be more contrast in the "water," maybe some white concrete up top. The jutting stone cliffs would throw shadow on the water lower down. Incredible build, still!

[@HelioSmith]

I love the waterfalls! Perhaps having a large statue/stone carving at the top of the mountain with water coming out of its mouth would be a good why for where the water comes from.

[@johnkrevis865]

I think it is such a cool thing to see you go back to old builds and update them, it makes the old builds still feel relevant and still part of the world, would be cool to see the other stuff you will eventually update in the future!

copper aging is based on random ticks that only happen in a fixed range around the player. simulation distance does not change the random tick range.

[@scottwilly86]

I absolutely love the rain once I have my base set up with the best kind of lighting. Just enough to mob proof the area but still aesthetic and moody. I can run around at night and in the rain and experience a different atmosphere without fear of mobs
