My suggestion for the town name is Constant-Sjin-ople. you know... since it's the Byzantines.

[@Minase636]

that's a pretty friggin great name. Love it

[@sjin]

looking like the front runner so far!

[@MikMoen]

That's a beautiful play on words, and it's even better since I doubt many people actually know what Istanbul used to be called.

[@stephentheperson713]

This would be so cool, Sjinstanbul was once Constant-sjin-ople

[@Paulthored]

[@Wulfaskr]

Theres a 'Cavern' style that I really like, its basically "build your own Mines of Moria", heavy dwarf influence and its designed to be dug into/under a mountain. I also turn off 'dont work in the rain' since it doesnt make sense for my dwarfs to care about the rain on the surface when they are several dozen y levels below ground...

[@Victoriafaes]

dont tell the dwarf fortress dwarves about that (for the record the dwarf fortress community has a meme around how sad dwarves get when in the rain)

[@olseagoat]

Sophisticated Backpacks has a smoker upgrade for cooking food on the go. There's also the furnace upgrade for more generic usage.

[@sjin]

nice, I make a backpack next episode so I'll have to grab a smoker upgrade!

[@Minase636]

@@sjin another excellent backpack upgrade is the auto-feeder

[@XNoah52]

​@@sjini might be remembering but i believe there is a furnace on a stick as well

[@EmmahSue]

The Ars Nouveau style does an awesome job of melding the Minecolonies and a magic-mod into a smooth flow. One of my faves!

[@huntre111]

The fact the High Magic syle-pack has Ars Magica infrastructure already integrated into the colony is really useful if you plan on using and advancing through the pack, but it makes it *super* gold-intensive thanks to the fact you switch from using torches to the Ars Magica sconces. The fact that there are Source Jars, Sourcelinks, and Source Transporters mean that colony infrastructure does double duty rather than being something you have to build duplicates of if you want to use them. I'd be surprised if Ars Magica wasn't in ATM9, but the fact it's *also* in the Minecolonies Official pack shows how much the devs like it.

[@ThemermaidPearl]

I love Persian and west african style architecture. For persian architecture has lovely courtyards, beautiful arches and the wooden carefully carved balconies are gorgeous. For west African architecture, I love Akan and Bamileke architecture. The cool adobe structure of the Akan with the amazing art made into the walls and the cool white and red colouring. Bamileke architecture is such a feat of woodworking and it's honestly amazing the way they work on the landscape to have a perfectly cool(temp) home

[@jamesmcdonald3054]

Yeah, RIP those horses. You need horses for a Byzantine colony; not specifically for any building but because they fit the aesthetic (e.g: decorate with horse-drawn carts). They're also handy to tour your colony when you don't have a jetpack. Colony name suggestion: Sjinstanbul

[@sjin]

this is a great idea

[@FriedEgg101]

@@sjin Or Constansjinople?

[@watchdog4454]

My go to colony name is Steve

[@Zeigler_]

This will be such a cool series plus just mainly focusing on Minecolonies and going all out on themeing and decorations could make one of or the coolest build/city Sjin has made!

[@sjin]

yeah definately, I have a good grasp on the mod now, what's possible with it and the Byzantine style is going to look amazing!

[@stephentheperson713]

Certainly a welcome surprise. I think it's a great idea to let minecolonys shine a little more. Very excited to see this series grow

[@laharlkent]

Thank you for still being around Sjin, I have loved your content for years and you are one of the only people who I know that have any taste in buildings looking good in anything. I hope to one day shake your hand.

[@DefMettle]

Definitely love Gothic architecture, Cologne Cathedral, Burgos Cathedral and Leuven Town Hall are amazing examples!

[@Ariettyjade]

Byzantine is such a beautiful style. Huge sprawling buildings that make less work for you overall since upgrading the little houses take nothing but a bed and a torch in general. I'm so excited to watch this since I only got to play with the style a bit myself!

[@It-b-Blair]

Old Norse & Celtic style architecture is lovely and epic. Steep roofs, arcing woodwork, and decorated with nature.

[@ohgnoagnome8442]

I haven’t watched a Sjin video in about a decade and when he pulled out his map and it had been filled out just vaguely phallic I was expecting him to make a goofy remark 😢 but he’s matured in that decade

[@RealClassixX]

You know, I'm starting to think that Sjin enjoys Minecolonies.

[@ipovogel]

Ranch/Plantation/Colonial Southern USA style is my favorite, horrible time in history but beautiful buildings, and they typically are placed such that they emphasize sprawling out and having privacy and space. Love it.

[@lilblock3564]

Lovely time in history

[@H3lp3d]

this just popped into my recommended, so cool to see sjin is still making videos. Still remember the dirt factory days!

[@henryjohnson-ville3834]

"Is it MY-ranium?" Sjin asks sheepishly. Love that joke. 😂

[@DammitMiles]

I've always loved the Gothic style of architecture, with its giant buttresses and huge cathedral type buildings. It's really exciting to see this Byzantine type colony, can't wait to see it all set up with the more advanced buildings!

[@itzzgingerr1228]

The timelapse with the rain actually looks really cool!

[@xBananowyJEx]

A beautiful city of Tetten, the place with amazing mountains~

[@RabenFan]

Neoclassical and baroque revival architecture are some of my facourites styles. And i might be a little bit biased, but i also really love some nice german half timbered houses.

[@Ryder42]

8:07 I still to this day randomly say "See if you can find a boat" and laugh lol.

[@MikMoen]

I'm pretty partial to Mediterranean, i love those hilly towns right on the sea. Italy and South France. Ughh I wish I found this before I did my workout, this would've made the first 40min on the Treadmill pass easily. Also, I love how the builder's hut has a built in alley way. I just get tickled pink by really tight corner cities with winding streets and buildings arching over pathways that you walk under.

[@reecewilson223]

I love gothic architecture, every gothic building I've seen always looks impressive.

[@corporalcuddles]

I loved touring castles in the UK and Germany. Quite different styles but both really cool.

[@granddarkwolf8969]

Hey Sjin for your information its pronounced (Biz-a-teen) Byzantine. Like the ancient empire that was once a powerhouse. My style favorite would be between medieval Germany and Britain. 😊

[@vrrrrrr-uwu]

ah, you’ve gone and made the classic American mistake of trying to correct how the British pronounce things.

[@granddarkwolf8969]

@@vrrrrrr-uwu lol

[@Delletoro]

Ive always loved houses in trees, like a whole village network in trees with bridges and perhaps some lift system. A literal mahogany village

[@Bus_Driver_Jay]

‘Where are you getting raw mutton from anyway?’ Probably a butchers, mate. 😉

[@coufar1971]

Everyone saying Con-sjin-ople but no one saying I-Sjin-bul is a crime.

[@flareonguy7922]

Yeah, I think I'll very much enjoy the standalone minecolonies series. Reminds me of those old mods I used to play like Tale of Kingdoms or Millenaire.

[@alicecarver723]

Having just binge watched the previous mine-colonies series, this is perfect timing! I can't wait to see how this style develops and what extra decorations you'll add through the series.

[@sleepless5240]

4:22 I have a lot of favorites, mostly 19th-century European architecture, but my most favorite has got to be French Provincial architecture :D

[@mikelarry874]

Can’t tell ya how much I’ve missed watching you Mann glad your still going you’ll always Be one of my OG Favourites from the Yogs You and Sips made my day everytime I watched you guys keep up the amazing work I hope you are doing well

[@blamethebrain9282]

I actually find that south America hill slums are cozy. While yes its rather... sub par living the cheap neon signs and whirring of old fans. Light rain on aluminum roofing, looking out over the hill as the moon shines in the rain. Or modern houses in forested areas with twilight light shining through the fog of the trees, sitting by a window with a blanket and coffee and my sketch book. 😅

[@Eldritch_Elmo]

As far as names go, it could be called Three Brothers Village, instead of three mountain colony.

[@noahdeering7713]

Modern/contemporary-style houses that are clean, modular, minimalistic and have lots of glass and metal are probably my favorite.

[@BP5-5]

Happy to see another MineColonies playthrough Sjin! One thing I picked up while playing MineColonies is a mod called DoesPotatoTick? It allows you to whitelist MineColonies entities so that they keep functioning while out of render distance. Another thing to do is to go into the config files of MineColonies and to set ‘force load colonies’ to true. Hope this helps! (Sorry for the double post, I realized that I put it on the wrong video.)

[@Simply-Jess]

it might just be me. but i love the styleing of the greek homes how they are set on mountian sides. my fav house style is a classic Victorian.

[@Catboy_Riku]

Maybe its just because im a weeb, but traditional japanese style is definitely one of my favorites, their use of curves is so elegant c:

[@fleetingimmersion]

Agreed, though to actually live in, modern Japanese would be a nice style pack to have in Minecolonies. My first MC play-through was 'Pagoda', and it might be time to try it again.

[@g45h96]

Edo-era architecture is my absolute favorite. But their modern architecture still relies on a lot of traditional methods that have been modernized. If you ever get the time I highly suggest watching a video on how a foundation and frame is laid out on a new house.

[@fleetingimmersion]

@@g45h96 I think I've seen some general Japanese carpentry videos, one of which involved the foundations, but I could probably search for some more, it's a real interesting topic.

[@tunawithmayo]

Art-Deco is the one architectural style to rule them all.

[@jackalenterprisesofohio]

I like a mix of art deco and row-house/townhouse, for example New York City in the 1910's

[@BlackMorgarmer]

Hope all is well, truly such a pleasure coming home and seeing a new video! 😊 City name suggestion: Historia Have a great evening 🥰

[@teabagmcpick889]

I love the Black-Houses of the Western Isles, I think they're an evolution of the earlier, wooden long houses of the Yee-Ha-long-beard-axe-boys.

[@thaman1998]

so happy about another minecolonies series! I still have yet to finish the OG, so I have something to look forward to!

[@ITweeaboo]

I love the fact that you keep choosing the same style of environment,

[@Jessman5]

Medieval Style!! I always build medieval style in minecraft, I just LOVE it.

[@tobin1677]

2 thoughts, 1. the lack of rain working before researching the skill for it may be related to hostile mobs being active in the rain whereas they die in the sun. By the time you research it you probably have guards, so it is a roundabout protection for your villagers. 2. Colony name suggestion: Constansjinople. Also I dig the Japanese aesthetic, which is partially why I moved to Japan tbh

[@sjin]

yeah true, also being struck by lightning would be very bad for the health of a colonist!

[@TheRidiculousnessPod]

The buildings in Amsterdam look pretty cool!

[@The_M4ze]

For building styles I like, I enjoy looking at really old Victorian style manors, and castles... And ancient ruins because I'm a bit of an odd duck

[@Gabberag]

In all of the Minecraft streamers/videoDJs I've ever watched (a lot), you, Sjin, you're perfect. Like a butterfly who only eats of a certain flower and it's caterpillar only feeds off one particular plant. I really love what and how you do it, man. Thanks for entertaining me for over 10 years. Cheers from Costa Rica! I'm looking for a job, if you know of any!

[@Gabriella1412]

48 more videos of this series, till i can catch up to your newest Minecolonies series.. Lets go!

[@inderezzed8454]

My favorite architecture styles are ancient Egyptian and Roman, respectively. Those 2 are my all-time faves.

[@drakanize]

So happy for this series. Very excited

[@Oddball5757]

You should have kept ulti mine also add Eureka ships mod so you can make your starter ship actually sailable

[@Paulthored]

Church Building's. So much variety, but lots of quality or history. If possible, a Hobbit Hole, a Tree House or tree overgrown home, or maybe a Castle in the European style.

[@Len923_]

favourite style? I love the Castle, I think it is? it starts with a 2 by 2 chunk town hall that, by the end of the build, will form the heart of the castle; it's a style makde to line up with chunk borders, including a 3 by 2 barracks that will simultaneously work as a castle gatehouse by later levels. It makes for some really interconnected builds, and though I'll admit that the style on its own, even when pushed to the limit, is still slightly too restricted to form a full town, you can still build a "normal" town *around* the castle in one of the medieval styles. Sadly, it's likely too "limiting" of a build style for you, Sjin, since you like your "uneven-ness" over your town, where the Castle is designed to end up with a 8 by 8 chunk megastructure, build around having perfectly flat foundations. Though the courtyards between the inner and outer wall would probably look beautiful in yours, as would any "surrounding town" you build on top of it.

[@dylancartwright1697]

Gothic style cathedrals and mansions are my favorite!

[@cashbiz1]

Name suggestion is Ithilian or Sjinthilian. Love the medieval fantasy type builds and this falls right into it.

[@freekgopher]

I vote for Sjinopolis as a colony name.

[@thefallenonelucifer6]

To answer your question it's a tie to be honest I love the Viking and Nordic looking style especially since share similarities to old-school Gaelic and just seeing these massive wooden pillar with fenrir carved into it in Thor's hammer and all these other things is just so gorgeous and I just love the style of old school Japanese buildings that's atami match the rice paper doors and windows just so gorgeous

[@SonfordsGameCorner]

Antigua is Spanish for ancient or old. I think it's a great name because the city Antigua Guatemala sits between three mountains that are also volcanoes. It is probably one of the most beautiful cities I've ever seen and has an old Roman feel to it. It's the first thing I thought of when you talked about the three mountains. Hope that interest you Sjin, and keep up the great work since the Yogscast days You've been my favorite Minecraft KZbinr!

[@rainbow_storm]

I'm so excited to see you do a minecolonies focused play through, I always love the idea of the mod but find it overwhelming so glad I get to watch someone!

[@masterfluffychaos3366]

Love your Minecolonies series. I would suggest in your player home basement you set up a create cobble gen and grinders to auto supply infinite cobble, gravel, sand and clay just to help avoid lots of lost time grinding it manually. Name suggestion is Tripeaks River coast or kingdom. would be a cool idea to do something cool on each peak like your player home / weather control laboratory or other special buildings you will need that colonies dose not have.

[@Arkantolas]

my two faves are by far brutalist and art deco style buildings

[@austinmorris8176]

SO happy you decided to do another mincolonies series! I was worried I'd have to rewatch the last series on repeat. Love the content!

[@benjaminhamrick8612]

You should make this a part of a larger series where you build every style of building… I would love to see a nether series

[@GhostKnightTech]

My Build Style is Medieval / Gothic. Mainly because I did Medieval to Pirate Age Historical re-acting & My Minecraft Person name is KnightPirate. Sophisticated Backpack also has a Furnace / Upgraded Furnace and a stone cutter Add-ons. You should make a Dank and upgrade it fast to help getting the Building Supplies for you Mine Colony.

[@chasp_0784]

God please don’t give up on atm, I know the views are dropping but I hate it when series don’t get followed through, far too many series just end with no explanation or anything. Like a good 2 season show on Netflix, painful!

The Timelapse in the rain looks really cool

My favourite colony theme is the Steampunk one, it looks so cool

[@aubs6268]

I really enjoy solar punk architecture and ancient roman/ancient greek architecture, though I don't know that much about historical architecture. I love buildings that are decorated like an eclectic wizard lives there

[@ThavunIeos]

Minecolonies has become one of my favorite mods this year

[@antizombie8924]

I very much enjoy Victorian style houses. When I played minecraft awhile ago that is all I would build 😂

[@swordsnspearguy5945]

i don't have a single building style but if i had to list my favorites they would include the gothic of both medival and victorian varieties, nordic style you'd associate with vikings, renaissance cities like Nuremberg and Venice and lastly the artdeco designs of 1920's - 30s American cities

[@barral69]

Residential Buildings: Victorian Era, but maybe a little less drafty. Commercial (Small store fronts/gas stations): 60's Era. Industrial: Steampunk mixed with late 1800's style. Think Steam Era. Big Commercial: Places like open air markets and office spaces. Open air markets should be like the fantasy style plazas with shops/stalls around the border and huge fountain centerpiece. Office style builds. I think small instead of skyscrapers. Like your local 3 story law office or something.

[@patrikmrak540]

The fact that I am playing minecolonies rn, using the Byzantine style and I based it under three similar mountains strikes as something that cannot be a coincidence

My favorite architecture is Aztecs due to how there history is and plus there buildings are breath taking

I prefer doing the Life in a Village packs cause you get to do your mine colonies thing as well as have some other quests to pass the time as your builders work.

[@Den_drummer]

I enjoy most building styles, but I'm quite partial to medieval European castles and keeps for building, traditional Japanese for its looks and modern European for actually living. Also... "See if you can find a boat!" Ahhh, instant nostalgic flashback. That was the series with the sky-whale, wasn't it? EDIT: ps: glad to see your content style to stay mostly the same (in a good way imo) over all those years. I remember the old Forestry series being around when I started watching this channel.

[@DarylRosenberg01]

I like 1950's style. Like Industrial age. Iron frames, gas lamps, cogs, brass piping.

[@CommunistGuerrilla]

Smyrna or Nicopolis were both important cities of Roman era into the Byzantine era. I think Smyrna is a pretty interesting one because it was refounded inland during the classical Greek era and became a really prosperous city in the Roman era onwards.

[@jessiewesaw8283]

My favorite buildings are Victorian and art deco buildings.

[@Celeste46321]

I love gothic architecture. I think it’s neat.

[@jsaysyay]

honestly i have a soft spot for industrial, ironic because i need to be around nature at all times but oh well lol. i could list a whole load of others but yeah idk its the first one to come to mind for what's realistic to actually experience irl, of course there are a billion more beautiful styles but i hafta travel for those.(like who doesn't love roman imo) anyways, love the idea of this series to go sort of alongside the other, trying to balance out a modpack where one is extremely involved and long term with approximately a hundred others with their own goals would be hard to manage.

[@GinjaLeviathan]

A desert is a good place to start for sure, but create is also really useful for things like sand and clay

This was nice. Taking a brake is nice and keeps it fresh.

[@Sub_optimal9000]

I would say builder 2 right away, cuz you immediately recruit the 2nd builder to build their workshop, doesn't take away from your first builder doing their own thing in the meantime. When do you go 3, that's the real question!
