[@davidcollin6809]

I built your Norman keep, and surrounded it with straight walls but then put the project on hold because I couldn’t work out the diagonals for the outside, so glad you’ve come out with this. Just need a gatehouse tutorial now ❤

[@davidcollin6809]

That’s what I get for posting during the ad break. Can’t wait :D

[@saxonhermit]

Your castle builds always make my day. I'm a student of the High and Late Middle Ages, and seeing the things I study be used in one of my favorite games (y'know, outside my own worlds) is really nice. You're awesome!

[@sabrinakosiorek9712]

These tutorials give me life! I always stop playing because i cant find designs i like, or can achieve in survival. Your designs and lessons are so relaxing and fun. I cant wait to try this in my village improvment project

[@luchoman91]

I absolutely love your videos teaching how to build FUNCTIONAL castles in Minecraft! I've experimented a little with this myself but most Minecraft castles I see online are created more for aesthetic than practical use in survival mode. They're certainly cool but very empty or weirdly planned on the inside. I definitely want to take inspiration from your ideas whenever I get into Minecraft again!

[@MultiMaker_Studios]

Kinda unrelated to the video, but every time I watch good youtubers with amazing videos while cooking chicken tenders, the chicken tenders always come out great. And so far every time I've cooked with a video of yours on they've come out even better.

[@zarlev9083]

To me best part of your videos is that you put the mods/resource packs you use in the discription, you a real one for that

[@dudieboy]

@@zarlev9083 Right?! I hate it when KZbinrs don’t

[@ScottE-2]

Welcome back dude! I hope you have been okay. Informative and well edited.

[@dudieboy]

Thanks! I'm doing much better, thanks for watching.

[@baberymoose]

This is so helpful to planning my village settlement!! It really pieces together everything in your previous videos in a practical and precise manner. The fact that you happened to upload this video and practically the EXACT moment i sat down to plan my walls around my village is just a delightful cherry on top!

[@Ashlevon]

I love that your builds are both mechanically useful and visually appealing! I could actually build these in survival and have a reason to build them. Thank you and please keep at it! Oh, and one thing that I think would be neat is the Create mod's contraptions - to make drawbridges and large doors that actually move. Maybe for a non-vanilla, spin-off episode?

[@Kicikicichuju]

I just found your channel and I can't stop watching it, I really like your style, you are so calm, so I just subscribed and i'll nervusly wait for another wideo

[@ybm_678]

This series of tutorials is amazing, not only do you make sure they look good, you also consider survival. And to make it even better, you also explain why you do what you do, and make sure that it's historically accurate (e.g. the machiccollations (I definitely spelt that wrong)) cant wait for the next vid !!

[@vradenknight4872]

I’ve been trying to build a castle wall for days. After watching your video, I understand where I was going wrong, thank you!

[@dudieboy]

@@beetheimmortal Awesome!

[@derekpettis7976]

Great tips now I know how to curb the walls better no more square box castle walls

[@princeCustos324]

YOOO I WAS JUST WONDERING HOW TO DO THIS! I LOVE YOUR CASTLE TUTORIALS!!

[@cross_key]

Man as an archaeologist, I just want to watch you build an absolutely massive medieval castle as if it's a single settlement travelling forward through time, renovating the main fortifications until you finally see it become a massive castle

[@dudieboy]

@@cross_key Like a Timelapse? Hmm, good idea 🤔

[@cross_key]

@@dudieboy It would be very cool to watch!

[@ANewAmerica]

I'm using your designs as the main portions of my new hardcore survival world. Can't wait for the next video in this series!

[@Babol331]

Beautiful design. One thing I would do is to build the battlements two blocks high so that arched arrow barrages are not as likely to hit your head. Also, in reality, walls were built in a stable underground base foundation (in mortar) and then these are obviously covered by the surface. Instead of using more stone to fill elevation differences (which is extremely costly) they would instead raise or carve the ground to the desired level so the base of the castle walls is on roughly the same level. Of course building underground sections of walls in Minecraft is not necessary since you don't see them. Very accurate though!

[@amyduncancinder]

Thank you! From the bottom of my heart. Really! I've tried many times to make a wall around my builds but it always fails (messy or just wrong). First, I could never make it cohesive. Second, I could never make it look right on uneven ground, of which there is a severe amount in Minecraft. This tutorial is one I will re-watch many times and is a real BIG help! THANK YOU, again!

[@princesslemmy]

Finally new video so i can build the best castle, this guy is so good at castle builds

[@USMsShakeup]

excuse the language, but holy shit this is SO EXCITING! i found your channel from your norman castle keep, and im actually about to finish making it in survival, which is super exciting - i wanted to make the walls around, but in hindsight didnt pick the best location for that, so this is absolutely perfect! super fun to build and looks amazing, thank you so much for your contributions to minecraft! looking forward to the next video

[@MuBirbo_]

great tutorial man, loved it! Your entire series has been quite helpful with my medieval-esque build! And I also did the connecter for the uneven terrain a bit differently that I think looks quite good as well, a wooden bridge connecting the two. Saves some stone and looks nice while doing it! Keep up the great work buddy!

[@el_guapo1318]

ooh. I got a suggestion now. How to (correctly) connect a fortified wall to a Norman Keep (or other Castle type), or however you recommend to combine a fortified wall and keep/castle.

[@dudieboy]

Thanks for watching. Historically the curtain walls were not originally connected to Norman Keeps. In later centuries however, the Norman Keeps started being remodeled and expanded into shell keeps, and that's something I definitely intend to touch upon in an upcoming video.

[@outcast4087]

I've already made my own diagonal walls based on your design, as well as a 45° angle walls (even though they look kinda wobbly, because they are comprised of sections of 90° walls following each other), but it was still interesting to see how you solved the problem. What's cool is that in my design, a tower takes up exactly two sections of straight wall, which wasn't intentional, but is very convenient and modular.

[@martinheizer2225]

Nice video, keep up the good content! I figured out the 3 block space on the fly in my build too, but messed up the "hard" diagonals. But I will try to use towers for corners too, this looks so much better. REALLY looking forward to your take on the gatehouse design! 🔥 Mine is looking somewhat iffy being just two towers connected with a bridge.

[@AlexRoberts-tk9qh]

Even after subscribing and turning on notifications I still have been checking KZbin daily to see if the next video in this ongoing series had debuted. Honestly that much highly anticipated and well worth the wait! Thank you for putting together such an educating, entertaining and above all else inspiring series! These videos have allowed me to confidently begin (and more importantly actually *complete*) several small and moderately sized castle themed builds. Just as a suggestion at future continuation of this series, I along with I'm sure many others, would value your take on auxillary buildings of medieval significance such as stables, windmills, watermills, ironworks, etc. Your insightful approach and build friendly pacing are much appreciated. Best of luck continuing to grow your channel!

[@dudieboy]

You got it! Thanks.

[@boxer5755]

This guy slaps so hard it’s unfair

[@horatiodavenport1083]

Hi! Can you do a video on the buildings that would be arranged within the inner bailey but separately from the keep (stables/blacksmith/ect) keeping with the historical theme but useful in minecraft?

[@eatedthedrink8036]

we making our presence known for ages to come with this one🗣🔥🔥

[@NemesisC81]

It's been 2 months. the gatehouse tutorial is getting closer. I can feel it. CAN'T WAIT!!!

[@ConnorKnight-dq6bn]

You should try building the towers fully extending out of the walls. Build the walkway behind the tower, with entry way at the back rather than the sides. This configuration means that each section of wall effectively becomes a death zone, as archers can fire sideways, and sometimes even behind attackers agasint the walls.

[@Scourge1990]

Heyy :3 Great video as always. Will you make more tutorials for castle stuff? Like houses in the bailey or maybe a scottish tower house? Because i really like your building aesthetic

[@dudieboy]

@@Scourge1990 Thanks! Yes after the gatehouse I definitely will

[@dudieboy]

A fortified gatehouse tutorial is in progress, yes.

[@SnowySabreToothedLeopard]

I like these, however, when doing buildings, I like to design my builds with 15⁰, 30⁰, and 45⁰ compatability to my builds, as well as angle templates like 2, 1, 2... (repeating). I would like to see your take on this as I know some builds do use those angles, and it would be dope to build a castle that looks great and functions well even though they are perfectly diagonal.

[@PotSmokingSpiders]

Honestly, loved the video like I love all your videos. But as a mental health provider, my favorite part is when you mention OCPD specifically and not OCD. That was very refreshing lol

[@dudieboy]

I took Psych 101 in college and my course was surprisingly advanced for a class full of non-majors. There was a heavy focus on diagnosis and treatment recommendations, if you can believe it. But I did learn a lot!

[@Jazzmettazz]

hello! this couldn't have come at a better time for me as i was just trying to figure this out after implementing your normal wall tutorial. Fantastic designs and I love how you went into the thought process between the initial wall design in the original video, it was very engaging. I rarely comment, so I don't know how to broach the topic, but do you think sometime you could make a gate tutorial, both normal and diagonal, or corner gate? How would you go about doing that? Place the gate between two towers? Change the wall? Etc etc. I'm gonna try and figure it out on my own for my build (the gate is pretty much on the corner of the settlement, i have my work cut out), but I think it'd be awesome to see how you would handle the challenge. Many fortunes for you, thank you so much for these videos they are awesome, and fight on! :D

[@dudieboy]

The gate tutorial is underway!

[@captainphoton1693]

I love diagonal building. So much so that it make my cities way too busy. And knowing that I love over detailing, contrasting colors and details. The diagonals alone make it extremely busy. I pretty much do 90% diagonal builds. And I've developed a technic to build any diagonal roof of any size at any angle. And it's dumb easy.

[@commodorex]

"I've developed a technic to build any diagonal roof of any size at any angle. And it's dumb easy." GIVE. GIVE NOW. I NEED TO KNOW.

[@captainphoton1693]

@@commodorex This assume you already have the base of your roof set. And already placed the tip of the roof as a diagonal. So I assume you know how to make proper diagonal parallèle lines. if needed. Texted the diagonals of your roofs. So that you have a straight like from the base of your roof to the tip of the roof. The best straight line to get is the longest on the x or z axis. Now that you found the longest one. Make a diagonal line from the base to the tip. You should strive to find the smallest repeating pattern that still goes straight. Now copy that line over to the next block that isn't on the same block as that straight line. Fill in the gaps. Use slabs and stairs to make it as straight as possible. But I advise only using walls and blocks. And now repeat that pattern all over your roof. Idk if explained that we'll. If you have any question. Do no hesitate.

[@BryanLu0]

With 45 degree walls, you really just need to redesign it. Because whereas flat walls one block forward is just that, from a 45 degree wall, one block foward is actually two blocks out (one block in each direction)

[@gerardjagroo]

These have been so useful and informative that I've downloaded all your tutorials to try them offline. I already finished the keep and I'm just waiting for the Gatehouse now.

[@IbilisSLZ]

I just want to say, that your tutorials were very helpful. While the castles I'm using as reference didn't use buttresses (they were almost completely flat except machiculations), both the keep tutorial and spiral stair's tower/turret made it much easier for me (and the wall tutorial itself was good starting point. In my case I added second wooden extention at 4 blocks above ground and added archer holes (as two stairs as you did in keep) and used tower's as a way to access both levels.

[@negligentdesk2629]

I'd be interested to see how you'd build villager homes. I'm building an inner and outer bailey in my world but I'm sorta at a loss for how to build the homes in the outer bailey.

@@Nekrotik_Underlord Doesn’t sound like a great place for a build. 😊 But there are a few examples of castles with walls along steep slopes and what they did is just make a regular stone wall, no fortifications, buttresses or machicolations.
