Lotus Flower Village | Minecraft Worldbuilding

[@yennick675-os5vw]

hey, dont know if you heard this before, really enjoying the fact that you're not a fast paced copy cat, thank you for choosing to enjoy the ride on your own pace instead of working months on a single fast paced mess of a video, love your stuff!

[@Shouhi]

Haha thanks! I think there's somewhat of a shift in the MC youtube space at the moment, so hopefully we're headed back to a more chill vibe

[@bluishkitten]

These builds are so unique! The whole series feels very refreshing - like something I haven't seen done berofe. Really hope your channel keeps growing - you deserve it! 😊 I'd personally love to see a video where you connect all the builds by forest paths, perhaps plant some fields/flower patches, build light posts and so forth

[@Shouhi]

Thank you! The goal was to add my own unique twist to a Minecraft let's play, so I guess it worked haha.

[@Aahzsome]

I had an idea for a similiar kind of theme with fairies reusing cast-off items humans left to the side, but I got about as far as a teapot house with a mushroom growing out of it and a mug house and some landscaping in creative and that was about it. It is so cool to see someone take the idea and run it so much further, do such cool things with it! It really makes me want to try to redo it at some point. I love all the attention you put to each build, like the way the petals on the lotus flower house go in different directions and have slight variations. And the tie ins with the lore are so good!!! :D I only found your videos yesterday, and they're all so creative and great! (Fishing rod as a crane!!!! yes! Incredible, super smart!) Thanks for posting videos! :D

[@Shouhi]

Aw, I appreciate the kind words! This isn't my typical build style but it's definitely a fun style to play around with. You shpuld give it another go and you could always just worldbuild in creative :)

[@lesnyktos]

This village is so pretty my brain can’t cope with the cuteness

[@its-black-appl-e]

I really like this lotus village! Wish we could have fireflies in minecraft for ambient... Background music is also very cool and suits the theme of this part of the world :з Also we a declare are war against drowned now.

[@yowo6105]

A good justification lore-wise for the lilypad pathways between the structures is that perhaps fairies keep pets/familiars that cannot fly. Or maybe fairy children/elderly cannot fly long distances (perhaps fairy children only get control of their wings at a later age?)

[@diemondplayer]

Yaaay, new episode! Recently stumbled upon these series, really love them!

[@gimbo4025]

the lilypad village is a brilliant idea!! im so impressed with your builds so far, i cant wait to see more :)

[@FMZ10]

This series is amazing, this world is gonna inspire me to carry on my upcoming lets play with the nice builds without being stacked with elytra and full maxed armour

[@Shouhi]

Nothing wrong with elytra! But sometimes traveling by foot or horse just hits different, especially if there's points of interest between builds

[@science-fantasytcg5087]

I love this channel please keep uploading.

[@TotalThomasMan]

I absolutely love this little village! Very unique!

[@GSFBlade]

Love the lore and thought you put into your world, will have to check out the rest of your videos now :)

[@M4pet]

Stumbled upon your channel and I'm very impressed by your builds. I've been playing Minecraft for over a decade and I've grown very fond of mods and modpacks, so I mainly watch modded series apart from Hermitcraft. There are very few people who know how to build AND play with mods, so I'm subscribing to support a growing channel and maaaaybe to get to see you play with mods some day, it's completely up to you, of course. I can suggest a wide variety of mods depending on your needs and tastes. For example, at 10:05 you say that there aren't many blocks that float on water, Regions Unexplored adds a lot of biomes and blocks that you could use, flowering lily pads, floating leaves, etc. Chipped also adds a lot of retextures you can use for many blocks, including lily pads, vines, mushrooms, etc. which would help break up the pattern for the lily pad roads connecting your buildings. Anyway, best of luck with your channel, your videos are very well produced and you deserve way more subscribers!

[@Shouhi]

Aw thanks! I had originally planned to make it a Create modded series. But I haven't really played modded at all and wanted it to be accessible to others as well as future proof to official updates. Mods would definitely allow for more decoration and varied block pallets, but I'll have to see in the future!

[@Shouhi]

Let me know your thoughts and ideas! What would you like to see?

[@BazelJu1ce]

Build a big flower that houses bees or your enchanting table

[@sugengyuda2595]

Can you make a giant amethyst tree for the enchanting set up?

[@Shouhi]

@@sugengyuda2595 my next video is actually my enchantment setup! Won't be an amethys tree but hopefully you'll like it :) I could try incorporating some trees later on

[@teamarket5145]

I love the little cinematic shots with shaders with the replay mod and I think playing with shaders could really enhance the vibe of your videos and builds. Just an idea, and I didn’t see anyone else suggest it so I thought I would throw it out there. If it’s a performance reason you don’t use them, I think even a “performance” shader could really help. Really enjoying this series, I love the unique twist and the DnD feel of world building and lore. I’ll definitely be following along for the rest of the series, can’t wait to see what you do with the rest of the world!

[@teamarket5145]

Also, please use a variety of music for your timelapse’s 😅

[@yyymmme]

love the village! maybe some water plants around like cattails and for the path you could also use leaves as another type of algae maybe

[@hensg235]

Bro careful to not make any deals of destiny as you might turn into a blue axolotl.

[@RinRinDance1123]

oh to be a villager in a tranquil floating fishing village

[@smolm]

I really love your builds and the colours you pick. If you do more series, please do feline. Keep up the good job

[@Shouhi]

I'll keep that in mind but I'm not sure what a feline aesthetic would look like haha

[@smolm]

@@Shouhi I guess just cat ears and littler boxes everywhere ahaha

[@lukeowen7848]

You could build a backpack as a house

[@Shouhi]

That's actually a good idea! I'll have have to experiment with that

[@meithehjooman4305]

Love this! What mods do you use if you dont mind me asking?

[@Shouhi]

I'll keep em in the description in the future but mostly QOL and ambience mods. Xaeros map, Ambient Sounds, Litematica, Zoomify, Replay Mod, Freecam. In this episode I also added Better Clouds and Simple Fog Control. The only game altering mod is FallingTree, to reduce the grind of collecting wood or making a tree farm.

[@BlinkSh0t]

Ngl. A couple of those lotus look a little.................. sus.

[@Shouhi]

👀 Don't go goblin mode now..

[@sugengyuda2595]

​@@ShouhiCan I know what seeds you use to play survival?

[@murftg]

yayy new vid

[@The_idk16]

Was watching the first episode and I wanted to tell you that you can make the land that you are building on into an island with worldpaint

[@Shouhi]

I had thought of using world painter to isolate the map, but I'm trying to keep most of the survival world unloaded for future content. I think it's alright to just imagine we're on a sole continent for now since I won't really be heading to the outskirts anytime soon

[@The_idk16]

@@Shouhi cool love your videos

[@ajeeeyms]

I'd love to see you do something with bees, honey, and beehives

[@Shouhi]

That's a good one and I do already have something in mind!

[@floatint2137]

what is a core? I have heard the term used quite a lot, but I still don't understand it, haha.

[@Shouhi]

-core is kinda like a style? Hardcore/softcore In this sense it's more about aesthetic, so some examples are fairycore, cottagecore, and goblincore.

[@floatint2137]

@@Shouhi Ah, I see, thank you!

[@ritvualz]

what mods do you use!!

[@Shouhi]

My mod list has changed a bit but I'll start adding it to my descriptions haha. Mostly ambient mods. Off the top of my head we've got: Better Clouds Ambient Sounds LambDynamicLights Fresh Animations Falling Leaves Not Enough Animations Simple Fog Control Sound Physics Remastered Visuality

[@leonan_jjfs]

Very beautiful Men 😍

[@benjamingames9]

I think u should go on hermitcraft

[@Shouhi]

Well that's high praise haha

[@niseshadow2757]

Amazing video! I love how youre going on your own pace and exploring interesting ideas that we're not used to seeing! I actually have an idea i think youd be interested in. Is there any way i could contact you?

[@Shouhi]

Not really at the moment aside from comments, but I do plan to make a discord community in the future!

[@niseshadow2757]

@@Shouhi i hope you do!

[@Divalics]

I love itttt! So creative
