Since you usually have a team to build with when you work on projects, can you make a video of how to build together as a team? And what communication should be like?

[@StickiesOfficial]

I absolutely love the magenta glazed terra-cotta. Not for aesthetic purposes, but because I kept getting lost in nether tunnels. So I gave everyone on my server 16 blocks, and now navigating the tunnels is like taking a math exam with the teacher's edition book in front of you!

[@sahilaleem480]

He's one of the best, at least.

[@Surviv0rStudios]

Sahil Aleem no, he's about average when it comes to professionals. Teams like aithon, blockworks, pixsel bister and elisuim fire are the best.

[@vidyas.4531]

Survivor Studios that makes me feel bad....... I'm only in fourth grade though, so it's reasonable that I'm " under average "

Survivor Studios well their teams, so they have more people which means better builds

[@Trowo]

They made this update for YOU!

Grian you should do a survival series based on Building! 😃😃😃😃😃👍👍 like if you agree and let Grian see this!

[@DDjivan]

I agree

[@charlenewco]

Dylan Swagman, please don't ask for likes

[@westhescrub]

I don't think grian enjoys survival. If he did, he'd probably be on hermitcraft.

[@chibuzo]

You should make your builds available in the new Minecraft Marketplace for purchase! I'd bet you'd get a lot of money doing this. (Just give me my 15% cut for the idea :) Just Kidding)

[@alexsiemers7898]

I don't think the Marketplace will be coming for MC Java (which is what Grian uses)

[@chibuzo]

True but maybe he could try MC PE/Win10/XBOX1

[@chibuzo]

Pug Dude Studios So I see you missed the part where I said just kidding. Where's the humor in the world?

[@tienne7615]

For the modern house the glazed window looked like a light in the center then just dark

[@who_am_i_1014]

Yea i does seem like that!

[@heythere1257]

i think Minecraft needs paint. am I right??

[@thesnailphilosopher]

Gecko0o0o Geeky ive always thought minecraft needed paint i imagined a whole paint system using rgb and/or color picker

[@isaak2868]

Gecko0o0o Geeky I would enjoy it but you have to make soooo many textures. :/

[@terosaurs]

Gecko0o0o Geeky there used to be stained planks but they removed it. I hope they will add it again, it looks great!

[@terosaurs]

- Intervalistic - In case you don’t know, usually only 1 variant of blocks or items with the same texture pattern are stored as an actual texture. The rest are just code to say, “ Make it browner and darker to make it spruce.” It saves space in code. This is in almost every video game to save time, effort, and memory.

[@isaak2868]

Logan_SC eh true

[@Ayrichu]

A different shade of grey? *puts on sunglasses* Is it... 50 Shades of Grey?

[@av0-cad03]

Ayrichu no, sadly it's only 49 1/2 shades of grey
