Hi gang, if I sounded a tiny bit sick it’s because I was!! I did most of the building whilst I was ill and only felt well enough to record the voice over today. Give me sympathy likes on the video because I’m a poor sick boy of 29 years of age

On empires you should get a trident with channeling and retexture the trident to look like a thunderbolt that would be a perfect weapon for your charecter

Gotta say I was expecting another straight through 24 hour challenge but good on Joel for looking after at least a bit of his own sanity- though we’ll have to see how well that ages throughout the video lmaoo Edit: absolutely stunning work! I would live there if given the chance fr

You are incredibly talented, my man. I think its possible you have taken the spot as my favourite builder! You've grown so much over the years, and your attention to detail is incredible. You manage to make intricate, well designed builds without all the details looking like noise. I'm super impressed.

[@lexifluff5825]

Joel should definitely make a modern city build now, he's done so many with specific themes. I'd love to see what he could do with that

[@amypancake2433]

or like a dystopian futuristic one with the overgrown greenery etc!

[@dotdotdot5098]

i LOVE this build. not only is it both detailed and beautiful, but as you walk through the city it tells a story. bravo joel👏👏

[@solarrecoil6252]

I’m always amazed by the fact that Joel can do this. This is such great talent and I love it, I look up to theses videos and just am so amazed and impressed. ♥️

[@marieleelee]

You’re such an underrated builder. Definitely one of my favorites. Also I think Etho also loves honeycomb blocks lol glad he’s rubbing off on you.

[@EdwardKnightsWrites]

I'd honestly say he isn't underrated! He's pretty well known through SMPs, in the building community, and of course his friends help people check him out too.

[@methodz5982]

He has 3 mill subs he isn't underrated if he had like 100k then he would be underrated

[@isleofblu]

Joel this looks incredible !! You made a city in a desert look so lively and colorful !!! its incredible !!! I also love how you gave reasons for some of the stuff you built , and how you gave character to a city by giving a little background as to why some of the buildings and garden stuff exist in the city.

[@sixx6849]

Right!!!

[@danjaminmonster]

This build was absolutely amazing! You should definitely do more stuff like this, maybe in the swamps. That would be cool

[@chubbyghost]

omg a swamp city would actually be so badass! imagine it with the water connecting all of it like a water city

[@LycantheFirst]

Seeing you build the templates and then placing them and connecting them really helped me. Just for the fact of having something and using it in different ways in the same area can make it look so different. I think in my mind I keep thinking I have to have lots of really different buildings for it to look expansive but seeing them being placed and just modified I can take that idea in my survival building.

[@Ray_Went_Insane]

Joel you are actually insane, how you make yourself do these things it's unimaginable. I can't believe you can make all these amazing builds so quick! Keep up the regular uploads I love your videos!

This build turned out amazing! It'd take me 24 hours just to build a tiny fraction of that. I would love to see more builds in this world. Any biome that you find that you want to build in, I will happily watch. 😊

[@Smallishbeansfan101]

the thing i love about joels builds is that he uses blocks that dont look good and then puts them with other blocks so it looks awesome

[@jacobgarcia4279]

I would love to see you return to this idea or this world for another 24 hours, now that a year has passed from this one! Would love to see you look at the themes you made for this world and re-interpret them now as you expand on it.

A cool building idea would be to remake some of the iconic 'early' mega builds of the game, such as the cobblestone oak wood temple in the jungle, etc.

I'm always impressed when people can make deserts look so good. He's done it here and Pix did the same thing in empires season 1. Kinda want to try it myself if I can find a decent sized desert in my world

XD But this video also made me learn what building in Minecraft is and how cool it is! It was also unknowingly my first step into the empire community so I have to thank you for that! :) Those builds are fantastic and your videos are great, keep it up ! :D

[@seanmcnally6658]

I’d love to play in a world you designed. Maybe include a game where we need to collect items from different cities and villages, with partial maps to help us find our way. Your designs are immersive. I can imagine hunting through the streets. If there was a way to pay for add on cities and adventures, count me in. !
