[@dylangreve9563]

honestly very helpful, i now added a few construction sites and a ruin behind my castle

[@sonictheultimate]

I love the idea of this Series I would like to see more about tips like Planning building placement, terrain flow when building, and working around naturally formed obstructions

[@DragonSacrament]

Was just about to say this myself. I understand you're going for a short, sweet, to the point video mini-series Madnes64, but some more elaboration, and length, to the videos will be highly beneficial when teaching people your tricks of the trade to building. Maybe, plan to make these video about, 5-10 minutes? Depending on the topic of course. For example, "Decay/Construction" could use points about foliage, overgrowth, rubble --- scaffolding, cranes, etc. Good work, and I look forward to more!

[@Adamline15]

I really like what you are doing, it helps me a lot!!!

[@wander333]

Ikr?

[@zoraxbrooks]

just want to add that, over the years property changes ownership, things are added on to existing properties at times where the style has evolved, or perhaps the area has gotten richer and can afford to upgrade materials and so they build around the existing structure, apparently it happened quite alot with castles, especialy once they where no longer used tacticaly and basicaly became manors.

[@Abalue]

I would like to see sewer/dungeon buildings. That would be sweet. Great vid as usual

[@ogreen01]

Please do a quick tips video on temporary structures (settlements and tents etc.) as buildings that are cheap and quick to construct but destroyable at a moments notice. great series by the way I would love to see it continue

[@Shion-Winkler]

Construction sites, I love to have them in my cities. It does add a sense that the city is being lived in. Also organic flow... too many people will make towns and cities like a grid, all the roads going N/S E/W and it feels fake... build randomly around the city and then add in roads and back streets to connect them. it makes it feel more organic.

[@_Minecraft_ASMR]

This video, along with your 'talkn bout' videos, are really informative; especially for those who build in a more realistic medieval style.

[@96Assassine]

I would like to see something about: -graveyards or tombs; -materials and their effect on buildings; -usage of plants and vegetation in Cities/Villages

[@BlueEyes142113]

I like this, you should indeed make a series out of this. Keep up the good work!

[@ShadowC14]

I generally enjoyed it, though I wouldn't be shy to say in later episodes to add more details or explanation when needed. If you do this again, I would very much like to see you talk about sewer systems or irrigation channels! :D

[@AuthenticMatt]

This was an excellent video. I loved the tips and it's clear you took alot of time editing to add in words and clips and I would love to see more

[@unicornsrcool7834]

LOVE THE VID! Seriously, really loved this vid! Its all good making the buildings from your guides. But i love building my own things, this really helped make some epic stuff!

[@unopopo1]

I like this series. Keep them coming. I tried this in one of my worlds and it really does make a difference in appearance.

[@SasukeUchiha758]

Good video Madnes! I would like to suggest a challenge of building some Asian architecture, of course on a different world and whatnot. You do really good medieval buildings and i think you would do really cool Asian buildings :)

[@rikashaw4815]

I think it adds a balance and a good detail

[@TasiaPenumbra]

I enjoy all of your series. Tutorials and talk abouts and let's plays, every one. Thank you for all of your help.

[@PrevaiIing]

very nice video! I really enjoyed this video and can't wait to see what's next. Maybe for the next video, you could do something about docks or water front kind of things

[@dovahkiin9413]

but one tip for you on decay, there is also a thing called woodrot, this you can make easy with using spruce/oak wood as basic (a dark type of wood) and then randomly replacing it with oak/birch wood (lighter wood), so the lighter stuff shows where the decay has set in

[@DarkKrylin]

This is great! You need to do alot more of these, they have helped not only my city or town but they have help me improve my skills in building! Thankyou! Do more!

[@SeanTheSheepMusic]

Hi madnes. you are the most epic builder i have ever seen. i have watched every video you have made. all of them. and i have learnt so much from you. i use your building style all the time espicially on a server called dubcraft.org on the creative part. and they recently just aasked me to become apart of ther build team for the server. and i owe it all to you. thanks madness and keep up the great videos.

[@Ursarctos2]

The idea for this series is great! Please keep doing it!

[@HARDCORESKELETORN]

I like this video, and videos of this style. As for suggestions I'm thinking tips on caves/dungeons?

[@noobarockacus]

These are exactly what I think is needed, keep it up Madnes :)

[@franciscomagalhaes7457]

Love the concept, hope you keep it going. I would like to hear your thoughts on how to create ambience in builds. Anything from materials to lighting, pathways, statues and landmarks, etc. For example, I have the notion that authoritarian builds tend to be very smooth, with lots of straight lines, but that's about as much as I figured out. Would you consider exploring that side of building? Cheers!

[@xxdevilx3]

Yes finally you have no idea how much your other video how to build epic things helped me.

[@TheCreatorRealm]

Great video, inspired me to start building a city! And the tips are great, you are defiantly right.

[@SimplyAnotherDay]

These NEED to continue!

[@Halivar]

love that you not only build but keep it realistic!!!!

[@HyMyNameIsMatt]

Nice note on the stillness. While at times I desire a bit more of your builds these are very good tips based in very reasonable logic. It's pretty reasonable and i can't say anything against it except I would have taken the time to mention how this works when combined with scale and color. Perhaps that's just a step deeper and you don't have to take it.

[@MrGarrettisconfused]

I would really like to see how to start off planning castles or large structures. That's something that I always struggle with.

[@aceofheartzmedievalbuilder8343]

Great video, I'd like to see a list of everything needed to build a Medieval world, and how to attach the pieces to make it a town. If you know what I mean :)

[@15bball5]

thanks madnes this is just what i asked for except better a whole series thank you so much

[@ZarickScriba13]

I feel as if this type of video that you've made will be great for the Minecraft community.

[@esmondpaterson7543]

If you want to make a realistic medieval road then cover it in the new block podzol. It resembles poo. In medieval times no one had working toilets. If they lived by a river or lake etc they would just but their 'waste' in their but in city or towns when they were far away from any water source they would excrete into a bucket and throw out a window or down a hole in the floor which and sometimes people would just stick their butt out the window and it would all fall onto the roads below. You create this in minecraft by having a room with a flowerpot (kinda looks like a bucket or chamber pot) and the dirt inside also adds to realism or have and add-on to the side of the house that is just a small room with a trap door or a hole in the floor.

[@wander333]

Nice advice about Poo

[@robertlambrecht6535]

Keep making videos like this, bro I'm loving it 🖒🏼

[@sirerikson]

Very well thought out video really learned from it...keep up the good work madness!!!!

[@KlixPlays]

Keep it up man, this will help a lot in the long run :)

[@Ostikylskapet]

This was good, I would like to see We Built This City come back though! Next time do tips for castles!

[@StewartCoates]

Really nice video, and some helpful tips for the budding crafter :) cheers

[@alexhuntermark3514]

Routine for watching a madnes64 video: Click on it pause it like it play enjoy watch the full video no matter what replay the outro twice

[@grimcreeper1073]

Really inspirational video! If you continue the series (and I hope you do) could you by any chance cover statues ?

[@daltonst.3211]

Build Suggestions #1 - A underwater city ( Vines on the buildins, busted windows and broken down telephone lines ) + ( Sharks ) #2 - A aliens lair ( Space ship outside, make it crashed into the ground ). #3 - A HaUnTeD FoReSt that leads to a HaUnTeD MaNoR. ( %50 Hard to get to, mobs everywhere, tombs/graveyards and a witch hut.

[@mallardmahler]

It be nice to see how you can tie all of your building tutorials together to make them look like an actual town or city

[@Quinten_]

I would like more torturials on boats, huge but simple farms and anything that looks nice :)

[@skellzwolf4530]

I think it is awsome on how you make your creations. I'm trying to make a Medeival city, but keep getting bord and sometimes accidently deleate the world with no back up of it at all.

[@prosolia99]

These videos are great they help alot keep it going just maybe help us learn to build it a little more ! And thanks for all the help !

[@TheWalrussMan]

I think you should continue with this, awesome tips btw.

[@AuthenticMatt]

I'd like to see roofing tips and adding depth to buildings (example: spicing up a box house with curves)

[@zaff5525]

I think this is important and most certainly a thing missed out in the minecraft community. I build allot and honestly the decay of the world is vital to the server to show it wasn't just a perfect world but had some sentimental value to it. Minecraft isn't just building thing (well actually it is) but what I mran if you want a project to shine it requires even the smallest detail applied to it. Make the tutorial please!

[@AssasineCreeper]

Thank you! These tipps are helping me out. Please do more of those

[@TheYote]

Like the ideas and the vid. I'd love to see more. I'd like to see how you'd go about creating a ruin. Do you build something first and then pick it apart or just build the ruin and make it look like a ruin from the ground up?

[@Antroz59Mc]

I really liked the background. I had to mention it (But what is this flashy thing? Did not like it though). About this serie. Well i thing it will be useful (as every other tips someone can recieve) and I will surely use it a lot! (Loved the in-construction building(s) idea). Keep up the good work!

[@blamcrafters]

thanks for your great tips, your buildings are really something.

[@SanderBakkerMusic]

Like your vids a lot! Keep on making them!

[@AsitorCorporation]

Being honest this was a good video and I'm even tented to re open my minecraft server and build more now!

[@WhosScaredOfDentists]

Thanks! I try to thank you, Jamzi, Bdubs and any other good minecraft builders video as you help me teach myself to build better :D

[@Danil3012M]

The idea of the video is amazing. Is not just building, is make ideas of some construction. But, I have some questions that could help other people to make their cities prettier. Could you talk about grass? I mean nature and all that stuff in Minecraft that could makes cities looks much better. Thanks you.

[@djeffecen]

I think this series would help you more to refine/improve your skills i like it

[@mckrokonus]

This is really helpfull I hope you do this more often I would like it to be less glitchy though :)

[@BloodRobot9999]

Hey, I love this idea for a new set of videos. Can you show how to separate/show the differences between the rich and poor districts in cities?

[@KingBuilder]

I think you should make more of these videos. I helps me a lot when i am making my stuff on minecraft.

[@vinercent215]

More videos please, lately you had like one in a month... But I love these videos, it allready gave me an idea for my server qnd maybe a plugin (looking into coding)

[@MaxirionV]

That's a really good idea. I respect you, sir.

[@MrZombietoes]

Location setting. Do you look for a biome that you want that's really large (so grass blocks look the same) and just flatten/shape the way you want? Or do you look for a good natural setting that requires little modification?

[@TheMinimunk]

overall its a great way to sum up the things you are talking about in your how to vids. however instead of takeing 2 topics maybe do one topic and talk a bit more in detail about the stuff for instance the best ways to get the effects done and things like suitable locations and how much is too little/much. thats pretty much what i had to say about it.. any way great vid and keep em comeing Ohh and by the way thanks for taking the time to upload the vids and sharing your knowlegde :)

[@stevesprod]

Great Idea, you defenitly should do more of these.

[@end3r_ecl1pse70]

Give tips for castles plz. P.S I LOVE your videos

[@Pentagon1781]

Great video, you could talk about city and fortification layouts

[@WayofTheNorthman]

Looks promising. Wish they werent so short though!

[@EBProductions]

We have explained these things in multiple videos: Cemetary Speed Tutorial, how to deal with Black Spots. The use of materials and their effect could be an idea for the future. :) I like to help. (Unfortunately only a small group of people seems to find my channel.

[@johnyhamerstix3663]

For next vid talk about how u bring buildings so close together in big city's... and make it loook so neat and tidy

[@taffatilly7556]

Tips for little details? Like furniture and stuff

[@mckenziehunter987]

How about doing a video on harbors. I've built a few harbors and I can never really get it to look.......good? How about a few tips. For example what all should be included in a harbor. When building one should you shape it to the shore or bank or should you change it in any way. These tips would help me a lot. Would be very apriciated

[@Clitser]

I really like this! But I would also like

[@crazykirby97]

Don't forget that construction needs materials! I always leave logs tied down with rails or piles of stone.

[@MF-go4sg]

I like the talking about , tuts and this series

[@FormulaMotion96]

I want more of this , and if possible longer videos and detailed explanation.

[@jacktherandomkid8247]

bridge building tips like long bridges

[@gerselasor6747]

hey madness ,just wanna say, I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. hey im not sure if u made this video yet but could u make one to show a good place to start building a medieval city? thanks :)

[@GabeDelaSoul]

Next up would be how to use natue to your advantage, people always break a mountain to place a house, instead of integrating the house TO the mountain :)

[@BoarLord]

Please do a vid on making more historically accurate buildings !

[@SWATDRUMMUH]

or text or always appreciated, dude. keep it up!

[@LordoftheLists98]

I Agree with the person a few comments down you should do a video about incorporating nature and la nod scape into cities and towns

[@jumonjichoo7070]

For the next video, I suggest you to do a special 100th video! It's up to you Madnes64.

[@snowcraft-d3d]

You should do something on burning ruins like cities and towns that could be build as posts in the nether

[@zacharyhiggs1629]

Definitely do more. It was great!

[@dannytuithof9587]

It really helps me out a lot so here's a like

[@minecraftserverstuff]

THIS IS AMAZING YOU WORDED EVERYTHING GREAT I AM NOT CONFUSED EVERYTHING IS GREAT LIKE SO HE CAN SEE

[@DomoboChannel]

You can build: New kinds of furniture A townhouse And you can also fly trough your city and show us how you build that Gr (minecraft name) DutchWillem

[@jy715_]

i think you should make it a bit longer. great series!

[@ZeldafreakXD]

Topic idea: Could you make a video where you show how you can build stuff in landscape like hills? I've got real problems with this and i dont just want to build flat towns on my Server. Sorry for bad english I'm german too :p

[@TheMayorofSpace]

what I meant by spot on is that your English actually WAS perfect, with the exception of being autocorrected. also some irony for you: I don't use a mac, I have a pc. [before other people turn this into a flame war id like to point out that theres nothing wrong with macs, I just happen to own a pc, that is all]

[@mitchelwicox5116]

these types of videos are the resin I suscribed

[@ManufacturedVoyage]

I like this allot :) good job madnes

[@levoGAMES]

undestroyable? More like... indestructible, how does that sound :D

[@ParadigmPlague]

Moar please. I'd like to see a Tips for Building on medieval ships/shipwrecks. Thumbs up so he can see.

[@stefanchannel11]

I woud really like to see how to make the inside decoration and realistic wagons, they look always so ugly when i build them. Ow and 1 tip for you; play around with green stained Clay and logs , they look so Nice when combined.

[@bloodwarf57]
