  • Mojang‘s builds from the 2013 Minecraft Construction Handbook aren’t exactly the best… Which is why in this video, I upgraded every single build in the book.

    This video is inspired by mysteryore, where he beats minecraft the way mojang intended. Instead, I upgraded every build in the construction handbook. minecraft, minecraft the way mojang intended it, building a house the way mojang intended it

      I kind of liked the original more. Making it double the size kind of ruined it. It just needed more details and more colors and some smaller additions.

    What's interesting to me is that, if I remember correctly, the builds in the handbook were contributed by members of FyreUK, one of the most influential building teams in early Minecraft that were known for massive-scale builds. They did really well for the fewer resources they had at that time in early Minecraft, but their larger builds were certainly more intricate. It wouldn't surprise me if they held back a little to make it easier for casual players, especially considering there's a portion of Minecraft's fanbase that's quite young.

    @michaeltesterman8295 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Im at 1:04, and so far, I think you did a great job! The darker color pallette looks nice, though honestly both pallettes look great. It looks really good, although I think the extra side-rooms do detract from it a little bit. They give the build a more mansion-like vibe, rather than emulating the feeling that the OG build had. 9/10, a little overambitious so far, but still a REALLY good build!
