What Do You Build In Minecraft?

Post Reply New Topic

I spent months working on my castle. The obsidian dungeon in-particular was a nightmare. Then it was finally completed, and I was so happy.

Then creative mode came out.

thanks! although i probably would have been able to shave off a month or two if i hadn't been procrastinating so much :p

i've built too many to name. i mostly build on my own server so more people can see what i built.
what's your preferred method of building pixel art? like do you do it row by row or build an outline and fill it in? or something else entirely? o:

forgot to mention earlier, i also like building cool-looking little houses, with bathrooms that have working shower/baths.

the coolest thing i've built in Minecraft that wasn't pixel art was an underground mad scientist lab, that includes a working death ray, heads on tables, water dripping from cracks in the ceiling, two "broken" lights (one that flickers!), and more.
it was really fun. i'm thinking of building another one, i have a few more ideas.

I go row by row, starting from the bottom. There may be more efficient ways, but it works for me.

I build practical things and most of them are of a fairly small scale, and I'm glad I'm not the only one that finds that to be fulfilling despite the marked lack of giant castles that appear in my Minecraft worlds. My main goal in any Minecraft playthrough is actually to just build a house, and then build underground workshops for enchanting and messing around with any industrial mods. For some reason my favorite type of house to build are towers and keeps; there's something nice about being able to get a lay of the land from atop of one and having a dwelling that is, itself, a beacon to find your way home. Also, I guess they also seem appropriate for Minecraft's psuedo-medieval feeling, too. I also like to build treehouses, for some reason, despite their rather large weaknesses.
