starting to view minecraft blocks as colours and textures rather than wood and stone is probably the biggest improvement a builder can make.

[@A1ex.0ff1ciaI]

Yes for sure!

[@ranpocatagawa]

can confirm, esp since I've gotten into color theory, I started seeing then as colors About 3 years ago I believe,

[@teachmeminecraft3697]

Bdubs builds are just like his mood swings 💀 complicated but fun

[@A1ex.0ff1ciaI]

Haha true!

[@brixtah]

Damn💀

[@NeonFraction]

I like how Minecraft building has become such an art form that people are now doing art studies in it. Love the video!

[@A1ex.0ff1ciaI]

I agree it's awesome. Thank you!

[@max_v0lume_mc]

great summary of bdubs build style and the techniques he uses. also dude that dead bush on the chimney was such a perfect addition to the house!

[@abenteuertomate]

I once built a barn with bdubs techniques and I have to say that it was the best thing I ever built

[@saduration-music]

If you want to know what style his builds are, think about architectural styles instead of minecraft styles. For steampunk, he bases heavily off of brutalist architecture. For his “medieval” builds, he uses older architecture styles like tutor and gothic.

[@sanitygone-l9y]

Another building trick Bdubs uses thats not mentioned in this video is perspectives and sight lines. Bdubs has this one specific shot / angle or picture in his head that his build looks the best from and his entire build will be built with that picture in mind. For example, he will use trees to block your line of sight on the side so your eyes focus in on the build and he will use a gradient going from dark to light so your eyes travel up the build.

[@didi81_]

He's not just one of the best builders on hc, he's THE best builder on a server full of fantastic builders

[@elliejf]

i’d argue the Big Three on HC are Bdubs, Scar, and Pearl (but bdubs is my favorite)

[@didi81_]

@elliejf Bdubs, Keralis, Joel, Pearl and Scar. Bdubs is on his own level though

[@shiny-corvid]

@@didi81_ don't forget Grian

[@didi81_]

@@shiny-corvid I didn't forget him, he's great but he's not in the top5 best builders on hc

[@shiny-corvid]

@@didi81_ Yeaahhh that makes sense

[@TheRealYeller]

Only thing I think you missed is that Bdubs woulda added some more shape to the roof with some wonky placed stairs and halfslabs to add like holes as if it were breaking down and not being properly maintained, maybe even added a couple single glass attic windows in a dormer style

[@A1ex.0ff1ciaI]

That’s true

[@haggard9]

Really like that your making these tips not only on one KZbinr but with multiple Minecraft KZbinrs to show that Erfurt one has a different style that I can chose from.

[@A1ex.0ff1ciaI]

Thank you! It’s great for learning different styles!

[@Quiptty]

I love ur stuff bro,the fwhip one helped me a ton as I am a really big fan of him. U should play survival and try out these tips! Maybe someday in the future people will be making tips on how to build like YOU.

[@A1ex.0ff1ciaI]

Thank you!

[@gejstr3]

This acctually looks like a bdubs build. Love it :)

[@A1ex.0ff1ciaI]

Thank you!

[@brennenacosta8727]

You hit on the most important aspects of bdubs style: appreciating the build from a distance, and using darker/lighter blocks to create shadows/highlights. Your example build came out good as well.

[@A1ex.0ff1ciaI]

Thank you!

[@Mangoboi699]

I wish bdubs would have a building of Joy series where he takes 45 minutes to just put things together.

[@nbekeotbvspejtvnfosbevdo]

Great quality video! We definitely need a How to build like Scar video. Keep up the good work!

[@A1ex.0ff1ciaI]

Don't worry, I'm working on it!

[@spinning4ever4everspinning55]

Dude! This is really sick! I really like the way you structured this video and how you applied your research to make a really solid build.

[@A1ex.0ff1ciaI]

Thank you!

[@K1tteh]

step one: be very tall

[@kaladitya]

My 5.8 azz can never ☠️

[@vemijoev]

A tip i would give to everyone who wants to learn building, stop thinking of blocks like blocks. He covered it briefly in the video, but i wnat to explain a little further. As a builder, one of the most important steps is exactly this. Take iron, for example. An iron block is metal, but it does look that much like metal. Polished andestie, however, really does. Even if a wall is made out of stone in your head, doesnt mean you have to build it out of only stone. For grey stone (minecraft stone colored) walls, coral, light gray wool/concrete powder and even acacia logs can work well. Another exapmle is stripped birch and birch planks and sandstone for, well, sandstone. Stone is only stone if you force it to be, so run wild with all kinds of blocks! (Also, sorry if this is confusing, my english isnt the best) Yet (:

[@teachmeminecraft3697]

Also thanks for making these videos it has really helped me alot

[@A1ex.0ff1ciaI]

No problem at all!

[@memedaddy793]

Waiting for JermsyBoy and Mythical Sausage

[@vemijoev]

Great summary, but if anyone here actually wanna learn to build like him just practice for 10 years

[@Backarataa]

I was waiting for this Video I like the points that you highlighted👍

[@A1ex.0ff1ciaI]

Thank you!

[@i.am.a.French.duck.]

enjoying the video will make u live 999 more years

[@backwardsbandit8094]

Bdubs views Minecraft building the same way painters think of painting. You think of the colours, the texture, the values, the composition, the depth etc. After binging Bdubs' building series, I've learnt that he first experiments with new designs in creative mode, equipped with several reference photos and artworks that he's gathered for inspiration. This removes the major mental block that you have in survival mode in regards to block availability, that makes experimentation in survival mode. This is especially important if you're using a texture pack, because you can't use Bdubs' videos to show you what blocks work together, as he typically just keeps the vanilla Minecraft texture.

[@jackybones5887]

Loved watching you swing at the camera the whole time

[@figmugfig4674]

I really like the build but would try adding a little bit of depth to the flat walls, maybe with unique roof design, windows, or indented walls

[@criswelcrackssardengsalum5088]

can you do GeminiTay next😊 btw love your vids bro❤

[@Nemofish.]

Would love to see one for pearl in the next video!

[@Kevin-ke3yw]

Good work! Appreciate how the house at the end has presented the color theory in Bdubs builds, but I think it is lacking some “details”. The second layer of the front wall is looking a bit boring, perhaps a bacolny or a simple overhang for rain protection for the logs could help make the build more interesting and tell a story for the build. The build is having the Bdubs builds vibe, keep up the work!❤

[@fantasyworlddrawing5219]

Great video! I found it very useful 👌

[@A1ex.0ff1ciaI]

Thank you!

[@captain-ki9hh]

one thing I would suggest, please reduce that camera shake so much! and show the creations in the videos! Ur doing great!

[@Idkman-z7m]

0:56 anyone know when he built this?

[@Marakchuja]

Great video! I really enjoy this series.

[@A1ex.0ff1ciaI]

Thank you!

[@bocaJ930]

fantastic video dude! your build looked amazing :D

[@ced1010]

according to one of bdub's hc videos, he said he doesn't like the gradient, he prefers the aspect of texture and creating highlights and shadows. that's why he uses diff kind of blocks and it works ✅

[@Jfiggsy]

Great video mate! From a new Minecraft content creator :)

[@A1ex.0ff1ciaI]

Thank you!

[@Jfiggsy]

@@A1ex.0ff1ciaIjust started my channel almost a week ago, focusing on high quality trying to grow it as fast as possible! Maybe a video together one day in the future! Once I’m further along. Just subbed mate! Looking forward to watching

[@Jjhgut]

Great vid mate. Bdubs massive inspiration of mine, started my channel this week so appreciate the video too!

[@A1ex.0ff1ciaI]

Thank you!

can you do scar or smallishbeans next?

Man really good video keep it up, nice content.

[@A1ex.0ff1ciaI]

Thank you!

[@Fishysalmon02]

I love bdubs and want to build like him, but my ocd doesn't let me use blocks only for their color.

[@Wendy3Dimensional]

I love Bdubs! 🥰

[@Max-zo6rv]

Great video, as always

[@A1ex.0ff1ciaI]

Thanks!

[@franciscojesus1195]

a how to build like etho would be cool

[@A1ex.0ff1ciaI]

Gotcha

[@clobzz]

im just gonna stick to my extremely simple build style lol, i always watch videos on minecraft building but its so overwhelming and ill never get to the point of being able to build like that nor do i even want to😅

[@unforgettable256]

I think the hardest part are choosing the colors

[@A1ex.0ff1ciaI]

That's very true.

[@sanitygone-l9y]

Another option is palette crafter which is similar to the block colors app

[@malecker2]

I believe Grian highlighted a block picker tool in his lastest video, that Bdubs uses for the block palettes selection. I can’t remember the name, but I look cool and helpful.

[@spinning4ever4everspinning55]

Thanks, I'll definitely be checking that one out.

[@UnrevealingYt-wt1tv]

Can you make a video about how to build like mythical sausage

[@A1ex.0ff1ciaI]

Probably some day!

[@johnathanlehrbass2406]

My favorite builder is Jermsyboy.

[@elliejf]

if you want to build like Bdubs, watch his Building with BdoubleO series!!

[@A1ex.0ff1ciaI]

Very true!

[@andixpiwi8325]

step 1: be bdubs

[@grindfi]

And now make a vid on his best builds

[@Loganody]

The moss and grass on the roof is way over done. I hope it fazes out. I don't ever see that in real life unless the house is condemned.

[@victoonix]

"Build like BDubs", you say? Sure, you can copy his current style, but to build like BDubs is to be constantly on the lookout for innovative techniques and experimentation. It's not as simple as using whatever techniques he's using right now.
