100+ Minecraft Building Tips and Tricks!

Anyone watching in 1942?

Building in Minecraft is a literal art. Getting better takes time, alot of attempts and trial and errors. A build takes time and no rush. You can get tips and inspiration from others, and get your own style later on.

FYI, for everyone : at 16:35 he said that string works. But now in 1.18 you can just right click with a hoe on most plant types ( like bamboo or nether vines, kelp etc. ) to make them stop growing. It’ll help you if you’re short on string and thought maybe it would be something you should know

Congrats on 100K Marloe, that's huge milestone and a well deserved one too buddy 👍👍

as a builder i would love to see wood walls added for more variant to trees, houses,support beams, ect… “walls are basically our half-slabs”

This video is super useful. Btw just a fun fact: stone buttons are also a great edition to your wooden houses, because then they will look like big nails.

Another trick for the modern door: Replace the middle glass pane on the door part with metal bars to simpulate a sort of handle.

Everything eventually looks good with Minecraft shaders

Talking about towels, (11:29) I like to add additional folds, which make the towels look a little more natural. • Insert a banner pattern consisting of a combination of vertical stripes and one / two color gradients. • Use colors that look similar to make it look more like shading. • Also works for curtains.

When working with unstripped logs, don't forget that you can use other materials that better match the color of the "bark." For example, spruce wood goes well with oak logs, dark oak with spruce, and diorite with birch. You can also get the fog effect by alternating colors of stained glass instead of having air gaps. This also lets you achieve the same fog "density" in half the space, though you still need to use the same amount of glass. I also think it looks better since with the tighter banding on the edges of the stained glass area as each new layer starts stands out less to the eye than it does when using air gaps. Another cool way to enhance the fog effect is to put lava under the glass. Not only does this provide light, but the animated pattern of the lava kind of looks "cloudy" and it can give a subtle cloudy look to the "fog." I gotta say, I feel like an odd one out in that I t feel that most of the meta on how to build has, imo, strayed from MC's aesthetic strengths, and become overly detailed, noisy, and messy looking. Every building, especially small ones, does not need three block thick walls so you can incorporate ridiculous "dimension" into them. It doesn't need an obnoxious mix of blocks making up every surface, sometimes a wall should just be a wall, and not a weird collage of five different materials. Gradients are typically way over-done, and need to be subtler or on a larger scale to not look weird. Just as interiors can be super dense in design (I have a love of doing very small interiors, like even 2x3 bedrooms, and figuring out how to make them distinct time and again while incorporating sensible and varied interiors), they often shouldn't be. You need to give space to breathe.

3:16 I have NEVER considered using walls like this, didn't even think this was possible! Great vid!

Thank you for that inspiring message at the end, you truly are a great minecraft content creator

CONGRATULATIONS!!🎉 You have been such a guide and inspiration in my learning to build creatively, and I Still learned new tips here! I also respect that you promote other builders who’ve inspired You, like Bdubs and the campfire video. Also, beautiful editing, and playful descriptions. I’ve loved seeing you grow. I started following you awhile ago, when my account was still my “real” name. Btw, a (small?) request: I noticed you use customized paintings. Is this a mod? If not, would you consider making a tutorial on how to create those? You have a knack for making the complicated seem easier.

tip:You can use slabs for flooring to increase the block use

Personal tips: . Don't overdo the "ruined" look for roads and buildings, UNLESS they're meant NOT to be lived in or used much. Doesn't look cool, just makes you look homeless. . Don't clutter up details together. I generally find that any given detail/texture is best separated from any other by about 3 to 5 blocks. Any farther apart, and you get back to having a boring flat space...any closer and it's just annoyingly busy and tight. Be spacious. Minecraft is huge, use it. . Be subtle. A detail overlooked is one appreciated long after it's finally noticed. One that smacks someone in the face immediately is quickly forgotten. . The maker knows they have achieved perfection, not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

Marloe, you've made it so far, and your channel has been growing so fast! I've been watching your videos for years, and you've improved so much with your videos and content. I'm so excited to see you 100K, and I'm sure 200K won't be too far along. Keep up the amazing work, we're all so proud of you.

The Minecraft music in the back brings nostalgia

Having watched your channel grow from the days of having only a few hundred subscribers to the current 100,000 has been pretty amazing. You're always full of unique ideas and brimming with creativity in your videos and it makes me look forward to seeing how your channel grows.

I love the spruce trapdoor swinging chair! It went by really quickly, but it's lovely :)

I love how beginner friendly this video is!! I highly appreciate it! I haven't played my Minecraft in AGES and so much has changed. This is just what I needed! 💞
