The minecraft way: Step 1: Build a 'temporary' box house or cave home Step 2: After playing for awhile and gathering materials, prepare to build your new house Step 3: Look up some builds people have done for their houses for inspiration Step 4: Realize that to accomplish any of those, you'll need to get 10x the resources you already have and spend like 10 hours of dedicated building time Step 5: Stop playing for 8 months Step 6: Start playing again, but feel completely lost and confused as to wtf you were doing Step 7: Decide to start a new world so you can just start from the start instead of trying to remember everything from your current world Step 8: Return to step 1

[@thecatbrat42]

True sadly

[@tailz588]

Step 9: Become Determined To Finish Your House Step 10: You Finish Your House Step 11: Your World Got Corrupted Or Accidentally Deleted Step 12: Return To Step 1 Was Here Before This Blew Up

True That's why start with other simple task and gradually make your way through the harder ones I played Minecraft like 3 years and now realising that making houses take time I have a lost of farms in my world but didn't make a house for me

Also for the wall facade tip, most logs color match the next darkest plank, oak log=spruce plank, spruce log=dark oak plank, but dark oak log also matches itself

[@cleverballoon6535]

Also on bedrock at least if you name an item and place it in an item frame it will have a floating name which is handy for storage organization

[@CarrotKing269]

Just wanna real quick say that if you plan on being really good at building, this is NOT the only tutorial you need, not even remotely. Being an expert at building requires near perfect understanding of the basics, ie what they are and how to execute them. You need to understand most if not all of the simple concepts there are, have a huge amount of tricks and ideas saved up for detailing and really anything for that matter, often times even understand things like color theory. There is way too much to becoming a good builder to fit into a single video, especially an 8 minute one. But as far as guidelines for people who just want a nice house this video is great, pretty much everything is spot on and will make things look good almost every time you build it. Also if you want to get really into building, I would recommend watching all of Grians tutorials, and once you've gotten to a decently advanced level, watching tutorials from another, far smaller youtuber who goes by Horace - Minecraft. he is an amazing content creator and is incredibly talented in his craft, in my opinion, even better than grian is, though they do build in vastly different ways so there isn't much comparison that works there.

[@Jay80yt]

I would recommend watching Bdubs interior and exterior tutorials but that’s what I think and the only problem I have with using this tutorial is that skip doesn’t use foundation blocks, and I did see a bit of some but they were straight cobblestone

[@vixengypsy]

Thank you for the referrals!

[@jolonghthong5377]

Wow you’re so very smart!! I’d recommend to anyone reading this don’t care abt our being good and build your own skill set. What you like is what you like

[@a_angry_bunny]

I always love how people mention color theory like noticing complementary colors and contrast is difficult.

[@CarrotKing269]

@@a_angry_bunny yeah lol, it is pretty simple. That being said people still manage to mess it up a ton...

[@explodingsnowmanyt]

If there’s anything I’ve learned over the years of building in Minecraft, is that you shouldn’t be afraid to try new things and find inspiration for builds on the internet! Practice makes perfect after all

[@cenk.3467]

A building tip for nether portals: You could use some nether blocks while your making your portal look good in overworld. It looks like nether is taking over the world just like mojang did with the ruined nether portals.

[@EvelynSucksAtLife]

i built a big nether portal like this before and i can confirm it looks good

[@gwendolynsnyder463]

what I like to do with indoor ways (paths that are supposed to be near the sleeping room and somewhere where I'd usually walk in socks) is to make a 5 blocks wide path, as I always wood, the middle three blocks are carpet, and the blocks on the edges are whatever floor block I'm using. I really like it when things look regular, sort of.

Something else I usually tend to throw in with the nether portal idea is adding some glass panes to the side of another portal that you're not going to be entering or exiting from and then on the opposite side of the glass build a copy of what's on the other side of the portal so just before you walk through it's like you can see what's on the other side

Still though, I was very happy when I built my starter house and my library, the builds which were done solely by myself without any tutorials, except for some mild inspirations. They may be not as good as Grian or GoodTimesWithScar or any other professional builder would make, but it's my own creation, and it's an honest work.
