I am a 60 plus year old woman and the grandkids turned me on to PS. I’ve went thru the tutorials and learned some design from the npc’s. I really like this build. You have shown so many techniques in your build. Plus, it’s easy to follow along. You’re very talented and I appreciate your attention to detail. Thanks for teaching and being an inspiration.

[@andyisyoda]

Thanks very much Kim. Minecraft is possibly the best game invented. Like Lego but you don’t run out of blocks. I love how it appeals to all ages. Thanks for your comment. 💚

[@ST3W1010]

@RI / Random Idiocy it’s all personal opinion hence why it’s called an opinion. In his opinion it’s the best game. And honestly I can’t argue. There is so much nostalgia and creativity in it that a lot of other games lack.

Havent watched the video yet but I’ve seen other aesthetic builds where they place a campfire and then extinguish it, so as to use the block as a decoration piece. I think here they used it for roofing?

If a hay block is used underneath the campfire in the chimney, you get a smoke signal. It can be seen from chunks away for how high the smoke reaches-- kind of like a beacon but without the buffs.

[@Synthwave89]

This was a pretty good video, and I was able to replicate it in full survival. However, I noticed multiple discrepancies in the amount of materials needed and the order in which parts were built seemed random at times. This build was also the perfect mix of being aesthetically pleasing and being functional. Good Job 👍

[@kylenevins1238]

Thanks for making this. I love the details using fences, campfires and the fireplace. The stone and dark wood of the spruce (and the metal banding of the trapdoors) makes it feel very "Olde Scottish". I expanded the 5x5 system to 7x7, as I wanted a bit more room for storage and crafting areas. But I only built up one block higher (so 7x7x6?), as I did this on survival and had no scaffolding to make things easier. Ladders helped. The 7x7 worked out well for the most part, and allowed for some very attractive wall - block - wall patterns around the perimeter. I did have to raise the "bedroom" an extra block because the roof was covering the windows. This will probably become my enchanting room, as the larger 7x7x6 rooms give it a bit more space, and it's a bit of a trek to get up to that room from the ground floor. I put my bed in the 2nd floor of the lookout tower (for now). One last thing - put this thing high enough for it to snow instead of rain, and it has a very cool "Castle Black" feel to it as well! Anyways, fantastic build, and functional, which many cool builds lack, IMO.

... pretty sure spiders can still get in. But thats a very pretty stone-keep esque build. And tbh. To stop spiders all you need are some machinations instead of just crenolations. Thanks for the tutorial though Its defo inspiring for my next castle-esque build

[@chromiakocosmos8888]

Spiders give string for manny things, like bundles, bows, fishing rods, etc. Also the occasional spider eye, which can also be used for a lotta things like night vision potions. With the added bonus that they don't attack you in the day time!

[@epicemeralddude4180]

To the outside of the walls, add some trapdoors that are "Opened" Against the wall. Spiders cant climb with that in the way, problem solved.

[@gaasfet]

Not to be "That Guy", but I think the word you're after is "machicolations", the overhanging bits on top of castle walls that allow you to drop rocks and boiling oil on attackers. Machinations are the evil plans you draw up safe behind your castle walls while your defenders drop rocks and boiling oil on attackers through the machicolations.
