Hey Peeps, I hope you enjoyed? What other areas of building would you like covered on Building 101?

[@YetAnotherJenn]

Rooflines! I do love interesting ones. It can completely change your build and it is really difficult to master.

[@magnulof]

Some of the most popular Minecraft KZbinrs out there can learn from you about not overdoing the texturing😉

[@BobbyHenry]

Teraforming would be a good topic to cover. Could range from contouring the terrain or building up or taking away to fit builds all the way to creating natural feeling pathways.

[@taob3850]

Could you do floor plans and statues. Varunas town hall(angled interior and over decorated outside) and their agnoia(simple masterpiece) are 2 very informative builds where anyone who can replicate those 2 will probably be able too build anything based on their diverse techniques used. Yet I've found no videos on such techniques. I just found your channel I hope you can help.

[@iomoon3608]

Even my favorite Minecrafter does the “thicc boy,” overly detailed wall. 😂 I sometimes add too much and think, “do I need this? Does it look good without it?” Then that block is eliminated. Texturing really lessens the need for detailing.

[@AdieCraft]

That’s a good way to look at it. 👍🏻

[@shaunpathrosepaul6804]

Who?

[@kingmanga8575]

It all comes down to personal preference. Texturing doesn’t come close to adding the same amount of depth as detailing with trap doors or fences for example. Texturing is more about adding visual interest and keeping an area from looking too boring. It’s barely useful for adding depth Imo.

[@emmarounsville1479]

I absolutely love how you bring in the fundamentals of art and composition to explain and back up your building tips! Not only does it make the build tips make sense, but it helps watchers to learn to build for themselves, not just follow tutorials and copy others' styles! I gotta go watch the rest of this series for sure!

[@AdieCraft]

Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy the other videos too!

[@lauriosaurusplayz6028]

in the second image in focal points, i actually noticed the sun first. it looks so beautiful.

[@AdieCraft]

Yeah, that's the other focal point. Areas of high contrast, light or dark.

[@lisa_wistfulone7957]

Personally, I like how you illustrate and explain your build principles (nice editing and choice of images in the opening, btw). I’m practicing gradients and depth, but most of my builds are meant to seen up close, so this video encouraged me in my choices to opt for more subtle shading and layers. Thanks!

[@AdieCraft]

I’m glad that it’s helped you, and thank you!

[@PanNyx23]

All your tutorials and builds are so inspiring, thank you!

[@AdieCraft]

Glad you like them! Thank you!

[@thepersonwhoasked9980]

Hey Adie, love your work and dedication towards helping the minecraft common folk. Please, I'd love to see more of your "Building 101" series. Main reason as to why I joined your channel as a member! I look forward to more great building 101 episodes. Have a nice day!

[@AdieCraft]

Will definitely be doing more building 101 videos soon! And thank you!! There’s also various other tips and tricks vids on the channel to keep you going until then!

[@randomaccount6289]

This is the first building 10+min tutorial that doesn't make me sleep thank you good sir

[@AdieCraft]

You're very welcome! And thank you. Make sure you check the other videos in the Building 101 series.

[@o.eksplosive]

Omg I like your style it’s different …i recently managed to get my world back since it wasn’t syncing and I have been on marathons watching different vids on builds and I like this channel I def subscribed.

[@AdieCraft]

Thank you, I really appreciate it

[@YetAnotherJenn]

That was lovely thank you!

[@AdieCraft]

I’m glad you liked it!

[@OrangeStaringCat]

Hey man your vids are awesome and really helpful! Always a joy to watch, you are so underated imho!

[@timetravellingblockhead2122]

This is a great series (-:

[@AdieCraft]

Thank you!

[@mr.papaveraceae3009]

Good tips. I do like the depth of extra thick walls though. I think it might work well with really large builds. Or I guess if the build of something smaller is carefully designed so the interior looks nice as well.

[@AdieCraft]

Yes. when used in the right way they can work well. For example a Gothic cathedral will have protrusions many meters from the structure in real life.

[@jonathanstamm]

I like your wall. Gave me a steampunk idea. I just started playing Minecraft but love to build in games.

[@AdieCraft]

If you like Steampunk check out my Solo survival series 👍🏻

[@gamerdom7712]

This was really helpful

[@AdieCraft]

Awesome. Make sure to check out the other episodes in the series!

[@08Truzz]

please keep the build tips up, especially advanced ones

[@AdieCraft]

I definitely will. I’ve got lots more episodes planned on the series

[@stefanbech4668]

Hi! Love your videos and your tutorials. The factory from the min 3:30 is from any tutorial or survival video?

[@AdieCraft]

It’s the Steampunk Observatory I made for a build challenge. There’s a video on it on the channel. It might make a re-appearance on the new solo series as that is steampunk style at the moment

[@ASavagejoker]

I absolutely love the mega builds I’m just wondering if you have any mega build tutorials that aren’t futuristic? Just trying to get a flow through the base i have so far

[@AdieCraft]

I have some larger builds not not really any megabases yet. Check out the bases and builds playlist to see what is out there. 👍🏻

This is crasy ,You can build so good

What shader did he use? By the way I loved the vid. I learned a lot!

[@AdieCraft]

I use BSL Shaders in my videos. Glad you enjoyed it. Make sure to check out the other episodes in the series.

[@karlec21]

Thank you for the tips Adie, im really struggling on the depth part, because the build looks good in the outside and when you go inside it looks bad, any idea how to fix it?

[@AdieCraft]

You can add another layer of blocks inside or sometimes just decorating it or covering some areas with trapdoors helps

[@karlec21]

Lol, they are also focal points

[@JaybyrdePlays]

AdieCraft: you were drawn to the boat right? Me looking at the sun 😐

[@AdieCraft]

That’s another focal point. Don’t worry 😂 the colour and light draws you to it

[@JaybyrdePlays]

always interesting how there are slight differences in what people see in a painting

Came here from Keralis recommendation and glad I did.

Me too, welcome!

How do I add depth to a pyramid build

[@AdieCraft]

I would use shading to add depth as you don't want to change the shape. But Pyramids don't really have depth. They are flatter spaces by design, so I would be subtle about it. Check out my recent Jungle Pyramid tutorial for some ideas.

[@Tectonic2823]

"Were you drawn to the centre of the chest before moving up to the face?" 💀

Have u heared about debug stick? 7:20

[@AdieCraft]

Yes, but this isn’t available in survival. It’s a good tool for creative builders though.

Can you cover building 101 but desert themed plz

"Walls aren't six meters thick in reality" Which walls are you talking about?

You show me a building that’s not a bank vault with 6 metre thick walls 😂

[@cyber_archangel573]

@@AdieCraft If you ever get an opportunity to go to see some medieval era castles or bastions I reccommended it highly. Those walls can be thicker than a giants thighs.

[@AdieCraft]

And context is key, for a castle buttress, yes that would look right, but not for a 2 bedroom medieval cottage 😜

[@JoeBerg38]

Walls not being 6m thick is a BS argument. 99% of walls aren't 1 meter thick either.

[@AdieCraft]

Most of them are less than 1m that but you have to make do with the 1m standard size of a block. So saying 6m is crazy is a pretty solid example of something being unrealistic
