Minecraft Building Styles - Victorian Era Houses

[@WBCBuilds]

Big thanks to MSBuilds for lending me those Edwardian houses! Also guys if you want to see more of these types of videos or a tutorial on any of the builds in this video them leave a comment below 👇🏻

[@mr_mustache5594]

Can you maybe give us a download link? I would really love to use this as inspiration for my own city.

[@ni-iz3yu]

pls have tutorial for your imperial bank its really good and inspire me to make victorian city

[@WBCBuilds]

As a lot of these builds are part of my currently live project of "Whiteburg" I can't share them as a download yet

[@rexmarput1]

I love these types of houses

[@ark4048]

what about the tutirual for the house on 9:15?

[@wattlesplays]

Dude this randomly popped up in my reccomended and i have to say that this building is beautiful omg 🤩

[@WBCBuilds]

Thank you so much!! This is quite a shock to see your name appear there as a notification 😅 Well there's a lot more buildings like that throughout my channel, it's my favorite era of buildings and I don't see many people building in it in MC. still thanks for stopping by

[@GravityReboot]

Same

[@imparkub]

Oh my gosh wattles, what are you doing here lol

[@otrnr6959]

Did not expect to see u here wattles but these builds r very inspiring

[@SteveMc2425]

Woooooow

[@xavierlayton1798]

I came in expecting a shallow, poorly informed description of these different architectural styles and left having been greatly educated on a part of Victorian history of which I was not previously knowledgeable. Thank you

[@WBCBuilds]

Why thank you sir! My goal for this video was to keep it short and sweet but also deliver the history and reasons behind each style while giving some building tips. I am surprised I was able to keep it under 15mins

[@xavierlayton1798]

WBC Builds a job well done I’d say 🧐

[@chickenmadness1732]

I was expecting an American kid spouting a bunch of bullshit lol. Was pleasantly surprised when it was a fellow brit.

[@JGonzZ.]

The fact that you even put a giant timeline for the builds on the background is just amazing

[@cammysmith7562]

I came here looking for copper but I found gold.

[@WBCBuilds]

I wanted to make a 1.17 snapshot joke but failed 😔 haha still thank you for watching

[@10-sn_sisonrafaelgerardp.15]

Learning Victorian history in class: meh❌ Learning Victorian history and how to build an empire: better✅

[@dee23gaming]

This has really opened up my eyes to the Victorian building style. It looks so much better than Medieval housing, mostly because of these buildings being able to pack next to one another and the spectrum of details is just inspiring. But I do think that the Medieval housing we do in Minecraft has more of a fantasy base. Real Medieval houses don't often look that great, unless you were living in the best of the best

[@WBCBuilds]

I believe you are correct, so that is why I’ve embarked on this mission to help spread the word about Victorian buildings and how they can still look equally as good in the game. Real life medieval buildings come in all different shapes and sizes, just think about churches and cathedrals. But yes the fantastical nature of the Minecraft medieval builds leaves a lot to be desired

[@darrens3]

As an architectural assistant this is perhaps the most accurate Minecraft style explanations and breakdowns I've ever seen. Literally 99% accurate and very well researched. And Tom York's books are a great place anyone to a start.

[@WBCBuilds]

Thank you! I agree, those books are great for breaking down the styles and giving enough information to take way an understanding of what you are looking at

[@czlowiek0]

I'm new on the channel, but love it already!

[@WBCBuilds]

Człowiek welcome to the channel

[@majo_nez9684]

No way bro remembered the ł

[@freedom-vodeclip60]

4:06 the deadpan delivery of that joke absolutely floored me and i think i'll be quoting it for years to come

[@WBCBuilds]

I thought it was a well rounded joke 😈

[@dreamwolfnektovich1944]

Seeing round buildings in minecraft gives me chills. I'm squared.

[@gm2407]

It was certainly horse shoed in.

[@zandikaa]

10:00 makes me feel nostalgic I grew up in a terraced house like that

[@skepticmonkey6923]

Ngl i did not expect a history lesson from a Minecraft tutorial, awesome!

[@CymruJedi]

Really appreciate the time and effort put into this video, well done mate one of your best yet

[@WBCBuilds]

Thank you! I had the week off work so put my all into this video... I think it’s a good example of what I can do when I decide on an idea and dedicate a week to it haha

[@arttrashuberalles7223]

The house at 9:15 genuinely gave me a wave of nostalgia. Growing up in Baltimore, Much of the downtown was in that distinct Second Empire style, and you captured it perfectly.

[@baal_netbek]

9:15 I would really enjoy a tutorial for the victorian house

[@WBCBuilds]

I'll get it started soon

[@rafaysyed520]

I would absolutely LOVE to see someone of your talent in building and knowledge on architecture and history make a video or two on some completely "alien" or lesser known architectural styles from around the world that might otherwise never be recreated or discussed in minecraft. Maybe somethings like Sudano-Sahelian architecture, Mughal architecture, Angkorian architecture, Moorish architecture, Sumatran architecture, etc. Anyways, amazing video, keep it up!

[@WBCBuilds]

Great suggestion!

[@nathan5484]

Keep making these, I love the Victorian styles

[@musicislife8163]

I can't believe I'm here for an actual real assignment in architecture. What the heck is going on in my life. This is actually really useful

[@timesnewrman]

Hello! Sorry for disturbing. How your assignment went?

[@willmitchell8238]

The brick walls to block out windows is such an amazing idea i never thought of using the walls like that in 1.16

[@WBCBuilds]

It was one of the first thoughts that came to my mind when I was looking through the features of 1.16 haha

[@Nugcon]

The walls are one of the best building updates in 1.16 imo

[@josepass2563]

3:52 is absolutely insane! How on Earth did you manage to build that? Huge props to you bud, underrated for sure.

[@AdelaButterfly]

Love the use of the acacia logs! Great video, fabulous builds and clear historical explanations.

[@WBCBuilds]

It just works so well! From a distance you would be fooled into thinking it was dark grey bricks

[@HartmanEric]

Better information than History class lol

[@laurenlatta495]

just what I was thinking

[@Viggoman]

Lovely showcase! Keep it up

[@WBCBuilds]

Thank you! I’m happy you enjoyed the video, it was a fun one to make

[@This_Is_Just_To_Say]

This is amazing, I love this concept of learning about historic architecture via Minecraft.

[@josiahwright6762]

This was such a cool video! Id love to see breakdowns of all of these builds!

[@WBCBuilds]

I would love to make more videos like this with each style showing how they evolved throughout their respective periods

[@Kimberly-cx9uv]

i'm very much into history i didn't expect much of telling about history and where the styles originated and came from, i'm so impressed with your research! very lovely

[@ItsLeloo]

history lesson and building lesson in one package!!

[@WBCBuilds]

That’s what I aim to do ahha thanks for watching

[@christianheiens]

That 2nd Empire house is amazing. PLEASE make a video on it!

[@natashajade787]

you're so good at getting the proportions right on these buildings! whenever I try to build based on real buildings, it gets hard to follow the proportions

[@snoopdog8693]

As some who loves Minecraft, architecture and history this Channel is a dream, keep up the amazing work man.

[@WBCBuilds]

Welcome!

[@stephaniegalliart5373]

This was very educational and helpful not just for Minecraft, but for a general brief understanding of the differences in styles. I have a Francis Ching encyclopedia of architecture, but it's nice seeing someone walkthrough the examples like this. Thanks for all your hard work in putting this video together!

[@WBCBuilds]

Glad it was helpful!

[@shield543]

Excellent run through of period buildings. I have been searching KZbin for a minecrafter with such an understanding and appreciation for these architectural styles and have finally found one..

[@WBCBuilds]

Glad I could help!

[@sleepyyam5391]

idk why I was recommended this video months after its upload but this was absolutely fascinating - never come across such an informative and detailed Minecraft video before

[@WBCBuilds]

Well, lucky for you the channel is still continuing along the same line of content so come check out the rest of me stuff

[@lukeevans5787]

I actually live in a house not too dissimilar to the one at 10:18, it just doesn’t have the bay windows and is semi-detached with the “sister house” next door; also my cousin/best friend lives in a large Victorian house too, they still have the buttons to call the servants and the notification box thing in the dining room. It’s really interesting, I do love this era especially when it comes to knowing more about the history of the place I live

[@lukeevans5787]

Also, my house use to be a surgery at some point in time, I’m pretty sure it was in the very early 20th century

[@AdieCraft]

Love the video buddy, very informative and great idea having the timeline in the background.

[@WBCBuilds]

Thank you! Yes I thought that would help with the flow of the video

[@linnykun6748]

Hi WBC, I freshly turned 13 on the 28th and have just gotten back into Minecraft after I have played for nearly 7 years. Back in the older days of Minecraft, we literally built out of dirt and regular oak planks and called it masterpieces. Watching these videos has amazed me at how much the community progress. To say the least, i’m inspired to learn how to build like this !!

[@linnykun6748]

Also how did you do those white framings around the window? I was thinking mods because iron trapdoors don’t exactly work

[@WBCBuilds]

it's iron trapdoors that have been set to open with the debug stick (all done in the normal vanilla game) the same effect can be achieved by putting leavers behind the walls

[@Cryptozoology]

holy!!! these builds are insane! and incredible editing man!

[@WBCBuilds]

Glad you like them!

[@JIJCrow]

This is beautiful,I love how every architecture style has a story to tell

[@WitherBossEntity]

Wow, those are faith- and beautiful renditions of the mentioned styles. Thank you for all this effort!

[@princebricks632]

This is the first video I’ve seen of yours, and this was PHENOMENAL!!! You’re such a fantastic builder!!!!

[@elric_l9852]

Thank you for this review of architectural styles over a 200 year period. I learned a lot. I was drawn to your channel by your Victorian builds. I'm originally from a small mill town in New England (Rockville, Connecticut), where textile mill owners - the monied class - built beautiful Victorian houses with grand porches and towers, along with rambling Georgian mansions that later became Rockville's hospital and library. Your builds are inspiring, and the history lesson is the cherry on top.

[@WBCBuilds]

Well thank you for the very nice comment! I’m happy to have passed on some knowledge on one of my favourite subjects

[@Danbearpig]

This is amazing, exactly the sort of thing I subscribed for. Nice touch with the timeline in the background, very effective. I will be sharing this with several friends, and we'll be taking a lot of inspiration from this. My wife and her friends do Regency costuming as a hobby, and we recently (before everything got shut down...) took a trip to Williamsburg, Virginia, and saw lots of architecture like this. One of my favorite things about visiting the east coast of the US (though I much prefer to live in the western Rocky Mountains, haha). Very fun to go in era-appropriate costume to see historic builds like this, and thanks as always for the excellent and concise history lesson and art showcase! It might be cool to have multiple videos of this style with links to in-depth history lessons and build tutorials for each step along the way.

[@WBCBuilds]

I'm very happy you enjoyed this video, it was difficult to get all that information in a 15min time frame. That period dressing up does sound like fun

[@RhianKristen]

I love the injection of history and architecture into minecraft content. It was so ripe for it, but I've seen so little. Very well done. Thank you for your effort.

[@WBCBuilds]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@gm2407]

There is a nice video on youtube about London stock bricks. It tells you why they are so distinctive and some unique properties of them. It is very intersting. Somewhat it explains why Georgian houses in London look the way they do.

[@virtualrealitea]

Was looking for inspiration and could only find, as you say, houses where they'd clearly just searched up 'Victorian/Georgian house' and gone off that. Really pleased to stumble across this channel - beautiful presentation and exquisite builds!

[@WBCBuilds]

Glad I could help!

[@rare_other]

Omy gosh, didnt expect it being very intereting, its just randomly popped up in recommendations, and I dont regret it! Nice work

[@imalibagash4839]

so much thought and work was put in this video its rarely seen these days. good job keep going!

[@WBCBuilds]

Thanks, will do!

[@olyviareallylikescats]

You are honestly my favorite minecraft builder I've watched so far. Pog

[@WBCBuilds]

Thank you! That’s why a very nice to hear

[@POJ]

Yo @WBCBuilds i really feel like you can expand on this concept. I dont think many people have tried making historical architectural styles through Minecraft while also teaching and explaining about that particular time period. I for instance thought it was really interesting that window tax existed in the Georgian time period and for you to also incorporate that fact into your builds. It's simple, but elegant. Keep it up

[@WBCBuilds]

Thank you! Yes I do plan on doing this video for a deeper delve into the styles shown in this video and also some other styles

[@padraigpearse1551]

Im so glad this came up in my recommended

[@mattehoe]

I just laughed for 10 minutes straight at the "5/10 because its only a half circle" joke Love it

Haha I’m happy you enjoy my strange sense of humour 😂

[@jeniglace]

This was a fantastic take on all of these different styles, best build video I've seen in years

WBC Builds could you also do a basic room layout too? I found it was hard to make a good layout for your Georgian mansion. That would be great. Thank you!

[@gui_bauer]

That was the most incredible random recommendation I received. What wonderful constructions! I'm full of ideas now. I will try to reproduce some of these houses on my survival map

[@trydar]

you are really speaking my language in this video. if something is victorian, id generally expect mostly medieval with a touch of asymmetry and a focus more on interior layout than the façade. basically pugin and st. pancras. that said, I love palladian and victorian gothic and waffle between both in my own work. 🤔 hope your channel continues to do well! 😁✌ im stealing that idea for my iron trap doors now too btw. 😅

[@WBCBuilds]

Trydar I’m glad you enjoyed this video! Yes! The iron trapdoors around the windows make these builds work just that little bit more

[@trydar]

@@WBCBuilds ​ also I wouldn't mind if you pushed the timeline back all the way to tudor in another video and didnt stop until you got to the iron age roundhouse! stopping at 1915 is good tho, after that things went off the rails sadly.

[@WBCBuilds]

I’m going to attempt a Stone Age to Georgian time line one day, that will be a nice challenge 😂

[@uniquely.mediocre1865]

Idk if you ever made another episode but it'd be cool to see you cover the 200 years prior to this, although it'd end up being more than 200 if you want to cover the Renaissance building styles and the baroque styles

[@NefariousHippie]

Wow this was a super helpful breakdown, and I liked seeing them all on a timeline in minecraft. What a clever presentation. I'm super inspired!!

[@alexturner8479]

I like this as you don't usually see people building in this style and it's good for some inspiration

Would you ever go across the "pond" again and tackle the painted ladies in San Francisco? That is what I am going to do next, with a clock tower/rail station to greet you to my town. Again great job!

[@WBCBuilds]

Wow that’s amazing to hear that it’s popping up in the search results. As much as I love second empire houses my passion lies with British architecture and I’m trying my hardest to give people a bit more of an insight into that era of buildings. I will do some American towns in the future but don’t have anything planned just yet! I wish you luck with your town and welcome you to join our discord (link in description)
