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.
Honestly I find building in mc quite stressful especially on survival it takes alot of motavation and convincing to build something great but in the end you can look back and say “ yeah I did that”
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.
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
@Just a guy who's a hero for fun according to the fandom it only works on vines and kelp, if that is what you are trying then I assume it must be a Java feature
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.
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.
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.
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! 💞
I enjoyed this video through all 25:48. Good job on concept, tempo, visuals and narration. Also your vilage! Dude, it's awesome! Looking forward for more of your content.
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.
Thank you so much!! Those paintings are just a part of my resource pack! There’s some really helpful tutorials out there on how to make them which I followed when I was creating mine :)
Watched half last night and the other half this morning, and the message at the end. Best tip for me. Really going to take it to heart in everything I build. To 1mil. more Subs Marloe!
as you said in the end, "practice makes perfect". but honestly, just by watching this video, my building skills went 📈 xD I finally found the inspiration to get back into Minecraft. congratulations on 100k, you honestly deserve so much more. I found your channel recently and I'm so happy that I did, you just have a very peaceful and inspirational vibe haha. keep going, you're doing amazing!
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.
Congrats! I've watched your channel since the beginning of your Tektopia series and I've watched every vid since then. Crazy how much your channel has grown!
When I do the glass fog effect, I topically do about 8-16 layers of glass, just personal preference, but I think this range is where it looks best while taking the least amount of time/resources
Another thing that Bedrock doesn't include is the fact that you can only have armor stands on top of snow layers if there are four or more layers, which is the exact height of a slab, so it would be too tall. I experimented and found that surprisingly a cauldron is a good replacement for that helmet on a crafting table one.
Your channel is criminally understated man. One of the best building channels I’ve seen out there. Thanks for all the help over the past year and congrats on 100k 😁
I have a blue castle before and it was terrible at first since i was expecting the outcome to be bad but because of this video i motivated myself to finish it and adjust my building skills a little bit more and i was soo proud of it
6:15 i just finished building my underground storage and i ended up with a 3 wide 4 tall wall just like that one and was thinking about what to do with it… this fits insanely perfect!! thank you💯
The message at the end I think is what I needed to hear. I get really depressed about how my builds never look how I want them to compared to what I see on TH-cam or something. Your advice made me step back and rethink a bit. Thank you.
Wow. I actually saved this video because not only does it show the tips and tricks, but it also gives small explanations behind each one of them. I've seen videos where it's like "make this because it looks like this", but the way this video explained that made it so much better somehow. Idk. This was just a great video imo.
This is the first time I have seen one of your videos and I am very impressed, I enjoy building a lot and I love your out of the box ideas and your attention to depth. You have definitely earned yourself a subscriber. Could you recommend any bedrock texture packs or shaders? Congratulations on 100k subs
Additional trick for the minecart seat, you can use blocks like soul sand, end portal frames, mud blocks, or blocks that are a pixel shorter than normal full blocks to hold the minecart in place and then piston push the block in place, it allows you to decorate it like a normal seat, while also allowing you to sit on it.
Wonderful tips! Congratulations on 100k!!! ❤️❤️. You are by far my fav Minecraft builder. The tutorials are easy to follow, the builds are beautiful, and it makes my day when I see that you've uploaded. Congratulations again! Can't wait for the next big milestone!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
For the paths. U can mix Podzol in with the path to add additional texture depending mostly on the map pack you are using. I know on PS4 I mostly use the Fantasy texture pack so Podzol looks nice like fallen leaves on the path
Hi this is my first time watching your video and the last massage you've left in the end it was so touching and gave so much motivation to me. Thank you so much for the last massage and happy new year. Lastly, hello from korea :)
congrats on the 100k subscribers!!! thank you for inspiring us to build beautiful buildings in Minecraft. edit: he really looks out for us Bedrock players. T^T parity issues stop us Bedrock players from putting ladders on trapdoors. T^T
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.
16:00 Bedrock have updated and available now to put ladders on trapdoors :) Edit : sorry² I dont know why but it doesnt work, Ive put ladders on trapdoors before???? Sorry for the hoax information
I was thinking when I read that because I tried to see if the new update added it but didn't 💀 It would be great if it was true 😔 In case you didn't know, you can now place pots and lanterns on trapdoors, just make sure the trapdoor is under the full block if that make sense 😉
Just found this video and it’s extremely helpful! I’m pretty much a beginner at building and minecraft in general and that last tip about creative mode and how practice makes perfect is really nice and somehow comforting.

For better context, a friend of mine wanted his home to look like it's rotting away and said we can use moss for it, but it was lacking a bit still even after tge moss was placed, so I decided to grab my mangrove root blocks and raplaced some of the logs that were there (they were spruce and oak). It made the place look so unstable that it looked kinda spooky and he loved the look!
First video I've stumbled upon from you and absolutely fell in love. Your personality and attitude are fantastic. You gave wonderful tips and explained very well. I subscribed instantly! I wish you luck on your growth and success!
If you use a campfire as a river or seaside dock, you can place kelp on it for an added touch. As if it got washed up during the last rain or something.
Holy- congrats on 100k I dont remember when I subbed it was back at the first village in tektopia you did Edit: accidently put sevtek instead of tektopia

@Just a guy who's a hero for fun you tried shears as well?

That is so helpful
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.
You can use a white banner with an item frame and a stone button to make a tp dispenser.
3:16 I have NEVER considered using walls like this, didn't even think this was possible! Great vid!
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”
Vertical slabs, decorative items; legitimate chairs, tables, and couches that are the height those things actually are
And a fuxking carr@@TheWonkster
Another trick for the modern door: Replace the middle glass pane on the door part with metal bars to simpulate a sort of handle.
Great tip
