The closest orders you can give to 1914 are: Put as many centimetres of wood between you and the dirt

For survival I like to use sandstone for sandbags, it looks almost the same and is a lot easier to get in survival. On my minecraft realm with my friends I have a lot of wars and your vids have really helped me out in the wars. So thank you :)

[@dwbtw]

i love all the recent ww1 tutorials! do you think you could try a etrich taube from ww1? i think thatd be a pretty cool build!

[@ham_burger2346]

If you are building this now, I recommend waterlogged stairs, mud, muddy mangrove roots, and rooted dirt for some of the flooring blocks

[@Silly-hehe]

Honestly, as someone who's special interest is ww2, I'm so glad I found your channel, your builds are so cool, your tutorials are super easy to follow along with, they're easy but always look amazing in the end, you're easy to understand and you're overall just cool and have amazing builds

[@astr0man1ac29]

Im gonna be honest Garret. I forgot about your channel but after looking at my Panzer VI you made a tutorial about that helped me out with I finally remembered your channel. Nice to see your still keeping up with the content my dude :]

[@GARRETT2BY4]

Thanks for the comment Astro!

[@Phoenix_Gaming446]

Thats a crazy Tutorial, bro! The Trench looks so realistic and cool! Pls more of those cool Videos!!!🤑

[@GARRETT2BY4]

Thank you!

[@tempII]

this time it isn't suggestions and specific details for a trench, he actually made it on flat ground, full tutorial, and minimum details

[@GARRETT2BY4]

I definitely wanted to improve on that. Glad it’s better. :)

[@tlk6668]

Hey you should try to make communication trenches, they’re the zig zag ones that connect all the horizontal trenches to each other :)

[@STUDgch]

Hey garrett i have do an entire battlefield your different tutorials have really help me

[@GARRETT2BY4]

Awesome! I'm glad they helped!

[@martdonkey846]

Gonna use this for a history project hope I get a good grade!

[@AdrianReyesMex]

I just realized we both looked at the same diagram because I looked up a trench diagram and found the exact one you showed Cool

[@BURG3R1912]

If you want to make duck boards put a camp fire on the floor and extinguish the fire and then use a sponge to get the water out. So then it looks like duck boards

[@GARRETT2BY4]

Good idea.

[@leo_kaa]

Wow that looks so grate :O

[@GARRETT2BY4]

Thank you!

[@adomcastillo9558]

Wow Garrett, You truly are an Art Of War. Amazing.

[@GARRETT2BY4]

Thanks Adom!

[@STUDgch]

and with the rain the storm and my friends on PVP it's incredible.

[@robloxwrecks4080]

you an either dig a whole block hole, or, place stairs and fill the small stairstep with wateyou can either dig a whole block and put water, or just put a ladder of spruce and fill the step with water, so it will not disturb anyone who is walking in the trench and still gives a pretty cool detail

[@GARRETT2BY4]

Definitely a good idea. This was before I updated to the version that allows water in slabs and stairs.

[@CAPNsaveya]

This looks very cool hopefully it's effective at fighting my enemies

[@roycemckenzie2841]

Im not sure if this is ww1 related but could you help show us how you would make like a foxhole and like the japanese thing where its a hole they shoot from but cover back up and sleep in that hole basically I idk I its like japenese spider hole or sm just in general more underground stuff even like the veitnamese underground HQ's and can you please make it bedrock edition freindly cause in bedrock you dont even get shorter when you crouch and you cant even crawl i cant even place a pressure plate on an anvil but yet i can place wool carpet on one, like whats up with that?

Hot dammmm. I love this, I'll definitely build your trenches. Thx for the tutorial.😁😁😆

[@GARRETT2BY4]

You’re welcome! I’m glad you like it. :)

[@DaPoulet360]

I wonder, since the firestep is a bit too low, rendering us unable to see over the parapet, is there any way to fix this?

[@firesturmgaming]

Fun fact: The French actually like offensives cos they liked German trenches better.

[@GARRETT2BY4]

Germans did have dramatically better trenches.

[@gasmaskkiller3853]

You should use mycelium it makes a good ash block

[@GARRETT2BY4]

I’ll definitely try that. Thanks for the idea.

Awesome tutorial dude, the design is really cool and I don't know how you say all those blocks in the tutorial its like a crazy tongue-twister!!

[@Maxwell_kittykat8146]

a Finnish Army trench specifically doesnt have floorboards. they didnt afford for floorboards so many soldiers were ill

[@rebounds4vc410]

Layout of this is so confusing follwed as you instructed but my trench is still 2 wide on the turns??

[@collaborisgaming2190]

0:40 i most mostly use oak for duck boards and slabs for parapets the stick wall design used on early german trenches i make out of ladders. chests are the parapet boxes. slabs can also replace the sand bags used in general trenches. sand bags i the back protect against artillery shock waves. i put dugouts at corners. usually stopping 10 meters down (descent entaunt but crap central powers trench) i used the design along with incorporation of anti-tank pits for an actual WW1 non-historic RP Server. was able to hold off 60 player mechanized assault with only 10 people. built 10 block deep anti-tank pits with infantry trenches lining the rim. rat holes at the bottom lead to main base. so i put elements of vietcong tactics into it was the worse shot but best tactician. i also dug a tunnel to the north sea for the navy since the ports were all taken up. i'd make my own gardens in my personal rat tunnels to store food formyself and whatever dirt and ore i came across Call to battle 2 mod adds sand bags and bunker lanterns for 1.7.10. alot of WW1 guns make it too and before anyone asks, yes the Austro-Hungarians turned on Germany, and the first time i saw my anti-tank pits in action they brought a tsar tank from the Russians and got it stuck. served the tank commander right for throwing a grenade at me while i was on the surface storing dirt. let them have it with the riggotti rifle i was issued with. i forced them to retreat. everyone else was in the base hunkering down. i wasn't told a thing about the raid. my team was an ass to me to say the least if it got the tsar tank stuck then no renaunt or landship was going through. if a tank came it, kill the operators take the tank and store it in the rat tunnels once the battle was over. adaptive engineering. last i played the team ran out of ammo and i wasn't resupplied since i finished digging the trench. salvage was nice though. some reason greece had an atlantic wall full of guns. berlin was just taken back from the austrians.

The trenches are designed 2:1 to go with my vehicle scale. You can make the trenched shallower to make them more useable.
