Imagine my surprise when I open Minecraft up for the first time in 3 years and seeing a nearly completed Hogwarts. It’s a crime not to finish it. It’s what 2021 me would have wanted

I think that after the tutorial, you should do like hagrids hut and like the train station. Basically build the island

Yep that's the plan!

@PlanetDragonodwhat blocks do you use on your main Hogwarts roof

[@r1v3r97]

Hi Planet! I started building your Hogwarts a few days after your 13th Video was Made And I’ve been a really fast builder! I can’t wait till it’s done! You are awesome in so many ways Your epic 😎

[@PlanetDragonod]

Very quick building!! Thank you!

[@buku3634]

Wooooooow!!! New episode!! Thanks Drag

[@PlanetDragonod]

You're very welcome;

[@nicolajhougaard]

me building the same roof for the third time: Send help! Please! Somebody! Please!

[@sugar6320]

Hiii I created a little cheatsheet for roof sides: One whole baseline of planks, with upside down stairs on the outside One side: 5x2 with one plank in the middle and one slab on each side 5x3 with one plank in the middle and one slab on each side 5x3 with one plank in the middle and one slab on each side 5x3 with one plank in the middle and one slab on each side 5x2 with three planks in the middle with one plank on top, then slabs on either side and on the outer corners (underneath this whole layer, place one plank block on either side) 3x3 with one slab in the middle 3x3 with one plank in the middle with a fence on top 3x2 with two planks in the middle with fences on sides and on top Lastly a tower of three planks behind The corners are much harder to put in writing so you'll have to skip through the video for this

[@papahamdrew]

Another great video, I am caught up and my friends are so jealous, is the clock tower next.

[@PlanetDragonod]

Thank you! The poll does look like the clock tower will be next!!

[@papahamdrew]

Brilliant

[@grimm3593]

The music makes me miss all of the old Harry Potter games. I hope they have similar ost in Hogwarts Legacy

[@Grimehammer1969]

At 16:18 replace the cut sandstone blocks to the left and right of the window pane with walls to have usable windows. It's possible now with the update to walls in bedrock. And replace the blocks to the left and right of the wall above the pane as well with sandstone walls.

[@kaleiah2800]

oh that’s perfect! thanks!

[@mulch1973]

Just wanted to say that due to my troubles with the clone command (I never get it right) made all the towers from scratch. Not much fun but a huge sense of achievement.

[@BillyRampling-l8f]

I also listen to harry potter audiobooks when building. 😁

[@PlanetDragonod]

It’s the best combination!

[@JDistrict]

Oo new vid :) Love it! Keep it up!

[@PlanetDragonod]

Thanks JD!!

[@bombsmatic1375]

Just to make it clearer are you giving us a tutorial on the interior and landscaping, love your vids and i subed . Keep on with the good work !

[@PlanetDragonod]

Thanks for subscribing! Yes I'll be doing a tutorial on how to do the landscaping. As for the interior: I'll only be showing the important interior locations, common rooms, main class rooms, great hall, and some video game locations which I deem important etc. As for other areas it's for you guys to make up since there is no official floor guide and so if I show it, I'll just be showing how I've made up mine. And I like to inspire creativity and I like the idea of everyone making their own corridors and linking each area together in how they feel it should be. Inspiring the use of imagination and creating multiple unique Hogwartses based on their perception of what they believe it should be like. I'll be showing some corridor ideas and templates which can be used around the castle. I hope this will inspire and spark imagination for people to create their own unique Hogwarts story.

[@bombsmatic1375]

[@bricksbydylan1341]

Hey Dragonod, can you do more livestreams with interior work? and are you also going to show us ho to build the wooden bridge and the wall around the greenhouses? and can you also show us to to make the big doors open and close? love your video's!

[@PlanetDragonod]

Thanks! I'll do another video on my interior once I've done some more progress. The wooden bridge will be an optional thing, since it requires so much extra landscape. And yes we'll do the greenhouses. As for the doors, to get them to open smoothly like mine requires 100s of commands which weren't written by me

[@piperuppercut3968]

I’ve been following on and I’m all caught up! Just had an idea. What about a noteblock doorbell that plays hedwigs theme underneath the floors of all major entrances?

[@PlanetDragonod]

Yay! Haha that would be cool! However that would require thousands of noteblocks. You can use a resource pack play custom music

[@alvarezz_dc5378]

Nice

[@PlanetDragonod]

Thanks!

[@3intimidator88]

I keep getting the clone command wrong. Each time the tower goes in the opposite direction so I have to tear it down and try it again. I'll get it right at some point. Thanks for the great videos.

[@lyss_.taytay]

For my hogwarts I use cut sandstone and deepslate, but I started to dislike the cut sandstone texture

[@papahamdrew]

In your new video will you address where the clock tower fits before construction because I might have it a block or 2 off I just want it to be right.

[@PlanetDragonod]

No we just build straight off our foundations. Just make sure it's centered to the quad tower

[@papahamdrew]

Thank you, I had it wrong, it was 1 block to far right, I will go back and fix it. The castle is looking super cool, I am excited for the next part, glad I know that I can fix it now and I won’t build them tear it down when it is a block to far, I know it doesn’t have to be perfect but I would like it to be as close as possible, that is the only error in my foundations, thank you again.

[@bombsmatic1375]

Can we do the grand staircase tower next please ,

[@PlanetDragonod]

We're doing the clock tower next, since that's what the result of my poll was. Grand Staircase tower will be afterwards

[@OceanicOctopus]

If you had to guess, how many more episodes do you think it will take to finish the main castle structure? (excluding builds like interior, Hagrid’s Hut, The Quidditch Pitch, etc.)

[@PlanetDragonod]

5 or so, we're almost done!

[@micric9877]

There are still a lot of construction episodes left? (Because I can't wait to get the final result on my game). Otherwise, do you film as the episodes are filmed in advance? (To find out if it will be possible to speed up the broadcast of the episodes as in France the start of the school year is August 1st ??)

[@PlanetDragonod]

I'd say around 5 minimum. And no I record them weekly :)

[@micric9877]

Hello !! On the thumbnail of the first tutorial episode (3 months old) you display the hut near the lake and the mountain under Hogwarts, will you build them with us, in the included tutorial or not? The same for the aviary ?? In short, the mountain under Hogwarts, will you show us manually or with the cheat option ??

[@PlanetDragonod]

Yes I'll be showing how to do the landscaping. I'll be showing methods to do it with commands since a block for block tutorial will not be viable. As the the boat house and staircase, I'll try to cover it however it depends a lot on people's landscaping, since everyone's will be difficult. As for the owlery, it is so far away from the castle and involves so much extra landscaping, as for the owlery itself I've already done a video on it. Episode 23 of previous series

[@micric9877]

Planet Dragonod Thanks for all this info, but if you are doing the landscaping with a command block, I believe that I will not be able because my Minecraft game I bought it from Microsoft Store and not from the official Minecraft site, then will it work with a command block on my game purchased from Microsoft Store ??

[@PlanetDragonod]

The official minecraft site is Java edition. And from the microsoft store, it is Bedrock Edition. I plan to do 2 different tutorials. One for Java edition, and another for bedrock edition so that everyone building following my tutorial will be able to follow it
