Thank you for all the feedback! A lot of people have suggested making a "Part O" or "Intro" video to the existing series covering important preliminary info, instead of changing anything on the existing videos. I think this is a really good approach. I'm not sure when I'll add them but now I have some kind of plan going forward. I'm working on the first episode of the next tutorial series and I'm very exited to release it. Thank you all for the kind words and the support!
me with my classmates had server at school and i build ed one of your crazy builds to have coolest base on server (hardcore) and when i went to my mate he build one of your cooler build than mine XD thanks for tutorial and spent time on it thanks. and u are really good builder.
On the issue of adding new information to existing playlists: In maths, we often begin our theses with a "Chapter 0: Preliminaries", which is a dedicated chapter containing everything the audience needs to know before you can actually start with the subject itself (explaining things like special notation, prior knowledge, expected reading...) I know it sounds kooky, but the reasoning is that this isn't actually part of the thesis proper, and as such, can't be labeled as "part 1", so it has to be part 0 instead. I might be biased, but something like a chapter-0-video where you explain how to read your measurements & how to prepare the terrain beforehand sounds like the exact thing you're looking for, considering that those types of things aren't really part of the building process itself!
I was just about to suggest this. I think a part 0 or introductions vid would be both helpful and easy to implement and would save time for both viewers and SixWings.
Thanks for the suggestion. Others have mentioned something similar and since the video will be a short form and to the point video, it makes more sense to call it something like "Part 0" or "Intro" since it's there to clarify things that are already in the main series. Also, my idea of naming it Part 1 and renaming all the other, runs the risk of confusing a lot of people that are in the middle of building. Good suggestion!
That's really good to hear. Usually I will hear from people that are confused by aspects of a video and people that goes through a series smoothly will either not post anything or post a positiv comment that doesn't reference specifics. So it can be difficult to know what percentage of people run into trouble.
Six, the fact you are able to make full tutorials for these incredible builds is a statement to your skills and dedication. I can't imagine just how many hours it takes for you to create a design, build, record, edit, do commentary, and upload. As many of the comments suggest, you work is inspiring and so fun to even just watch you put together a world and storyline behind each build. I think making a Part 0 would be great to keep things in order and act as a preliminary video to help people get ready for the good stuff. Thank you for the work you put in!
Thank you! That means a lot to me, coming from you. Others have suggested something similar to you and I agree. Keeping the names for the old videos also avoids the confusion people in the middle of building might have. Thank you!
@ I’m still at the first video. I severely underestimated just how much blocks are needed for this build so I’m currently building a piston stone generator before continuing.
I'm not technical at all when it comes to builds, I build free hand aesthetic and cozy Bases. Your builds just wow me and inspire me all the time. I'll just leave it to the other builders here to suggest while I just thank you for these great videos,
I said it to you back when you were still uploading the episodes for the Dragon Palace, and it hold true now: You don't owe content to anyone, and I appreciate you for your offerings. I have wanted to build Emberheart Castle for a while, but in my own on-going world. I 100% recognize that it is dependent on the terrain, and I fully plan to landscape for the build, but what I would need for that is to know the elevation differences, as well as the distances between each component of the build, in a case like that. Otherwise, I'd spend hours combing through the videos trying to ascertain exactly how to begin, and for a married father of two, I simply cannot dedicate that much time. Again, you don't OWE content to anyone, but as you're asking for suggestions, that's the only one I have, and that's only for a terrain/context-specific build. Otherwise, I have always found your tutorials very easy to follow, which is part of why I became a dedicated follower of your channel. The addition of the crosshairs and interface, as well as the game showing the names for blocks and such is a welcome addtion, but it wasn't something the lack of which was a barrier to following your videos, in my case at least. Nothing but love to you for your offerings, and I continue to look forward to your new projects.
I recently completed Emberheart in survival and how I started was noting that the wall between tower 2 and tower 3 is 20 blocks long, and then used that as a baseline! I started with tower 2, then the wall between tower 2 and 1, and so on ^^ it sounds tedious but thankfully with it all being broken up into timestamped chapters it's relatively easy. Not sure if this will help at all regarding the landscaping, but it's how I started out ^^
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. And thank you for the suggestion. Emberheart Castle was probably the most difficult build to create a series around and I went with the single coordinate solution, because I blueprint would've been messy because nothing aligns. But knowing what I know now, I would probably add it anywhere. Probably a 2D-plan with additional numbers for the height different. When I get around to making a "Part 0", this is probably one of the things I'll add.
for me, you are the best minecraft builder ever. there a a lot of good builders - but noone remotely matches your buildings, your visions, the scaling, the proportions, the detailing, the choice of colours, the general dedication. phenomenal work! im happy with everything youll show! thank you !
That is so nice of you to say! Thank you! I don't know if I can live up to that, since there're so many great builders out there, but I really appreciate the comment. 🙂
As a long time viewer, I personally don't believe in tutorials. I believe in art lessons. An expert, and in this context, yes you are one, would just share his tips, advice and everything inbetween to the viewers. As making those tutorials takes so much time, I pray that you don't burn out and stop uploading other content. I am even worried that all the time you spend making tutorials is the time you are not building something new or planning to build something new. I would much rather never see another tutorial from you, if instead I could just gaze at your endless creativity and masterful cinematography. Your cinematic videos of your incredible, stunning builds are the core of your channel. By all means make tutorials if that's what you want and enjoy doing, but please don't feel like you owe it to the viewers. You don't owe us anything. I love just watching you build. It feels like witnessing magic.
Thank you! It's really nice to hear this perspective too. My "Thinking Inside the Box" video was an attempt at just that and I would like to do more videos talking about my approach. That video was probably the most time-consuming of all my videos and that includes the building part of other videos. Nobaby watched it, unfortunately, but I never regretted making it, not one bit. When it comes to burnout, it's like I said in the last part of this video. I need to create new builds and interesting videos because that's what fuels me. And since these tutorials take so much time, people will have to wait for month or even years untill I get to the tutorial they specifically want, even if I were to only create tutorials. So I might as well just make the types of videos I want to make. But yeah, thank you for giving that perspective.
@@SixWings I watched your "Thinking Inside the Box" video at least thrice. < 3 I absolutely loved it and I wished for more of those. I consider myself a decent builder but I've always struggled to create large builds and make them look impressive and detailed. Yours are absolutely jaw-dropping. I've tried to mimic your style of large builds, but to no avail, albeit after realising your major is in architecture and mine in English language and culture I stopped beating myself up too much regarding my builds. Your approach video inspired me so much, that I went to the bookstore and bought a giant tome of about 500 pages of history, floor plans, and plethora of pictures of old Renaissance and Baroque mansions of my country as well as some neighbouring ones. It has served me well and I've just been skimming it for hours once a week just for leisure. Best purchase I've ever made. I am eternaly grateful for your channel, that inspires me greatly.
I think "option 2" is better. An other option - name the new video "part 0". Also I think you shouldn't always build with tutorial in mind, just build for your pown enjoyment! As someome who made some simple tutorials, I can't even imagine how much work it needs to create totorials for your massive and complex builds!
Thanks for the feedback. Naming it Part 1 or Intro and add it to the playlists would probably be better than what I suggested. And thank you for your thoughts on building with a tutorial in mind.
The most important thing is to learn building concepts. Learning how to make various domes, archways, bridges, towers, and using the terrain, etc, then applying this knowledge into a building.
Thanks so much for your tutorials. I love building them in my worlds. I find your measurement methodology easy to follow and rarely have issues following along. I think the idea of keeping the vanilla hot bar visible is really helpful in knowing exactly which block to be using/placing. Keep up the great work, I can't wait for the new build tutorial to be released!
Thank you so much for making these tutorials. I can't imagine how much effort goes into them. You are so thorough and make it so easy to follow along, from my perspective. I know for sure after building some of your builds, smaller builds just don't do it for me anymore. Take care of yourself and I am excited to see what cool builds and stories you produce in the future.
I have learned so much from your tutorials. In fact, I have used a lot of your style in some of my free-lance builds. When building the Mausoleum, I completely skipped the crypt part of the build and did my own thing but used a lot of what you taught me to make Collums and buttresses. Thanks so much for influencing and expanding my build knowledge. It has been an absolute pleasure to build your builds. I would love a tutorial on the tree, my humble opinion.
I love that you put your own spin on the crypt. It's always great to see when people add their own touch. The tree is a difficult one but maybe I can do a different kind of tutorial, since a block by block tutorial would be very complicated for both myself and you guys. But I'm really glad that the Old Hollow get's some love too!
Your builds are always exceptional and I love seeing the time lapse videos of each. As for the tutorials, for me they are easy to follow but having the task bar and item description helps a lot. The windmill was a little difficult without it. Honestly any build you decide to to a tutorial on I'm in and would love to build it in my survival world.
I am just thankfull for every build you share with us. For now i only found a place for the Sanctum in our world.... For the tutorials, that require much landscaping, maybe show the distances and elevations, of the build... So we know how high/deep mountains/cliffs have to be to fit.
I think, there is nothing bad in differences if something doesn't fit perfectly... But it is frustrating when you recognize mistakes and cannot follow the tutorial right away. 😅 I personally would love to recreate Emberheart castle and i think, i would kinda build/terraform a mountain as i build the castle at the same time maybe... Thank you very much for your respond. Greetings from germany. ❤
@@pattykat85 Hallo! Ich bin eigentlich halb Deutsch aber ich habe nie dahr gelebt. Yeah, it can be frustrating, but I like your mindset. I'm glad you like my builds! 🙂
@@SixWings Aaaah cool, Dänemark ist aber auch schöner, glaube ich. 😅 How could i not like your builds? I've always loved architecture and how you recreate stilistic elements and manage proportions (with somehow still quite limited block-options) is a form of art.... And your voice is very calming. 😊 Just my opinion opinion. PS :I am very happy you started your new tutorial for us.
your videos have truly changed how i think about building in minecraft. i have a huge issue with creativity and originality, but your videos have helped me realise what i actually want out of my builds and the steps i can take to create them. i personally think all of your explanations are perfectly clear though i do understand what you mean when you say people don't think like you do. this is your channel and i think you should continue to do what you're passionate about over what people think you should. a big part of what makes your content so good is your creativity and you making the things that you want to. thank you for your dedication, it means a lot :)
You are so kind!!!! You have so much patience! And you don’t have to give tutorials for anything and people still complain when the amount of time you’re putting in to give tutorials are unimaginable, ignore the haters. Thank you so much for all you do, you’re truly incredible!!!!!
You are, hands down, my absolute favorite MC content creator. I guess our brains work similarly, as your tutorials are by far the easiest for me to follow out of any I've used, even in survival. I enjoy them immensely and actually appreciate the quietness without a bunch of filler talk. Thank you so much for everything you do for the MC community and I can't wait to see all the things you have cooking on the backburner. Hope you have an amazing holiday season, fren!
I built the Sanctum in survival, it took me 3 months. Here are some suggestions: - In the stairs part, it was very confusing, because the towers are rotated in different directions, if I follow exactly in the tutorial, which is for only one tower, it won't work for the other towers. it will be like few blocks higher or lower. My sugguestion is to give a starting point of each tower in each direction, like where you should place your first block to build up the stairs, then the rest will be the same. - sometime I find it difficult to follow in survival. In some parts, you build from the top down, then come back to some very high towers, which is tricky to do do in survival because I build from the bottom to top. - For the old video, I think it is easy to follow in general, for the less effort, I would suggest add (read description) in the title and give the information there, or just make a short video as a supplement, and put it in the description. I think it is the best for your views and you can earn the most from it. Nonetheless, I think you have amazing tutorials even without changing anything, but sure you can make it even better ! Thanks for your hard work.
Thanks for the suggestions! This happens when staircases are mirrored so I can see why this was a problem. Thanks for pointing this out. A lot of suggestions come from survival builders and I usually don't take that into account. I will think about it going forward.
I think option 2. Since if you start with the dimensions and locations were you can build it in the beginning, it will make it a lot more clear for the people that want to build it and you won't need to make the corrections on the later parts.
Hey Six First of all, I really like your builds and they give me a lot of insperation on builds that I build myself (of course not as good as yours). Right now, I'm building the Mausoleum in my hardcore world and I already have another build of yours in mind to make next. There is one build that I think I'll build after those 2, but there isn't a tutorial yet, which isn't a problem since the other 2 builds will take a long time and it also depents on whether I'm still alive in my world. The build I'm talking about is 'The Echelon'. It looks really cool and I think it would fit perfectly in my world. Keep making amazing tutorials and video's. Thanks for everything.
genuinely one of my favorite youtubers, while I don’t use ur tutorials your builds have inspired me so much in my own, especially for a passion project of mine that I’ve been working on for a while
Glad I found you! I'm the builder for my group when we play Conan Exiles, but I'm pretty sure we (as a group) are getting bored over there, and there's been a lot of talk of going over to Minecraft recently. I'm really glad that TH-cam recommended this, and your channel to me! This'll be great inspiration when we get started! I look forward to trying out some of these!
Thanks so much for all of your hard work, not only making such wonderful builds but also taking the time to make tutorials for them. As for the the options you discussed I think they are both equally good however I personally prefer option 2. Also for the tutorial after this one I would love to see the Loreweaver's keep, It is my all time favorite build you have made so far. Keep up the great work always great seeing what amazing build you're gonna come up with next!
I'm glad you like Loreweaver's Keep. Thank you! Option two is also best in my opinion but maybe I'll call the first episode Part 0 or Intro. That way I can keep the others videos as is.
One recommendation for terrain specific builds is perhaps to start the series with the foundation of the primary building. That way it can act as an anchoring point to work off and will make it easier to place it in our own worlds.
Good idea! This was a bit difficult to do with the Emberheart Castle, because it mostly consists of towers not platforms, but I get your point. Thanks for the feedback!
I just wanted to comment, that you are an amazing builder. Your builds are breathtaking, extremely creative and just so stunning with the amount of detail. On top of that you create tutorials for them and try to optimize them for people to enjoy for free, i can't fathom the amount of effort that takes. I only found you a few days ago but you are by far my favorite Minecraft builder/youtuber. Wow !
@@dziugasrumblys4898 Thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind words and I'm so glad you found my channel. If you end up building some of them, remember to read the pinned comment for additional info that I didn't put in the videos. Also, just ask in the comment section if you have an issue, preferably with a timestamp too. 🙂
I like a chapter 0 video idea for a pre-video summary of what's needed. Also, continue making crazy terrain specific builds because we are all crazy and will still make them in our personal worlds somehow because they are so awesome! I'm making your mausoleum right now with one of my sisters while my other sister had literally made 3 of your other builds in our forever world. You are our literal favorite minecraft builder and we wanna make everything your even done! We also have noticed how you have improved your later tutorials and the fact that you made a video asking how you can be better is so awesome and warms my heart! I hope you continue making these tutorials and that they are also fun for you! ❤ Thank you, SixWings!
Hello sixwings ! I'd first like to say thank you for your dedication, most of youtubers makes their tutorials, trying to make them understandable, but I've never seen any video like yours before. One of my projects in the server I play on, is to build The Sanctum, I find this build truly beautiful. I'm almost done with part 3. Even though your tutorials are clear for mooost of their parts, often, you build some blocks, or parts, and then realize you haven't done it well and you destroy them. I'd also like to mention that, in part 2, you build the first side of arches and spires, then show the other side, but ... not doing it in the same order, and if I'm not wrong missing parts we built during the first side. I ended up taking back the tutorial for the first side, and mirroring it in my head to build the second, I wanted to be sure to have them perfectly symetrical. I may be dramatizing a bit, and once again, for the videos length and the effort you put into it, those tutorials are already really good, but this video you just made shows you want to improve from feedback, so ... I'm giving mine :) The fact you showed the amount of blocs needed was also incredibely helpful, thank you for that For the 2 options, I believe the second one to be the best, though it depends on how much details you want to point out. If there are too much, then I guess option 1 is better. And sorry for my english, I'm not a native speaker and I'm trying to not use a translator :)
Thank you for the feedback. Yeah, some of my older tutorials are a bit messy sometimes (they still are probably), especially when it comes to building and deleting again. I edit that out in newer tutorials. It's great to hear about these issue, so I can do better going forward.
I've built your Bathhouse and Birchblossum Castle and am now 3/4 of the way through your Mausoleum. I am more amazed and in awe by your level of design and details the more I build.
Thank you for caring what we think! lol Seriously though, I wouldn't stress too much about the terrain. I look at your builds, and when I decide I want to build one, I go looking for a terrain that I think will fit...and adjust either parts of the terrain, or the build accordingly! I'm glad you're addressing the issue, so we know how YOU count the dimensions, since we all potentially think differently. It might not be a bad idea to have video where you just explain your method(s), and then you can just refer people to it, in "part one" of each series. Finally, thanks for all the AMAZING builds! I hope you keep at it for years to come!
I started on The Autumn Castle the day after you made that first tutorial and still haven't been able to finish it. I finished high school, had a 2 year relationship, and have now hit my 1 year anniversary at my job and still I haven't been able to finish it. But by the end of this year, I swear I'll do my absolute best to finish the main building at least. Thank you SixWings. For the inspiration and creativity that your builds bring us. ❤
Your all vid are good.We love your gient builds tutorial. U have great ideas very good to understand. I think new builders can build that nice build to see your tutorials. You're awesome. We are waiting for your next nice tutorials. 😊 Don't stop grow like this.
Hi. I'm playing Minecraft for 11 years and to be honest you are one of the best builders I've ever seen so I have so much respect for you because your builds are inspirations for me to help my friends with their new TH-cam channels to create fabular series and to other films like hunger games. In my opinion it's good decidion to conntact with your viewers to create kind of relationship with them. I'm glad to listen your own sentens. Poland with you 💪
That is really sweet of you, thank you. I'm glad you found my channel. I don't kniw, it just seems so easy to answer comments, when they're right there.. if that makes sense. And I like to help when people take so much time out of their lives to build my creations, so I feel I need to be a guide and help them out. 🙂
I always loved your Bath Tower very much. It´s so light, breezy, uplifting and elegant. If you ever make a tutorial on it, I will start playing MC again. The "rest" of what you build is insane too of course. You are one of the best builders I ever found.
Don't always build with a tutorial in mind. I enjoy seeing builds that may not get a tutorial just as much as the ones that do. I really like the idea of option 2 for adding a new video with the updated information on what is needed to know before those who are following it start building. I'm really excited to see what all you have coming up next and always look forward to your videos.
Thank you! I'm really glad you say that. Even though it makes it easier, the easy way is not always the fun way. Stay tuned for the next series coming up very soon. Thanks again, as always!
You could use the second option, but instead of renaming each episode, labelling the new part "introduction', or my favorite choice for this 'Part 0', something along those lines would make it the easiest
I think that you should make a video explaining all of the prior knowledge that might help your viewers and add it to every tutorial. I think that option 2 would be best, so viewers are still able to view the original video. I truly do love your videos and how gorgeous your builds are. I love that you make tutorials for huge builds that are intricate and time consuming. Very inspiring.
Thank you so much! I think option 2 is best but as others have suggested, calling it Part 0 and leaving the others as is, is probably an even better option.
I love every single video you have made! When I watch them, a feeling of amazement comes over me. I especially love the story you add to the builds at the end. As far as adding new information goes, do it whichever way feels the most effective and complete to YOU! I haven't followed any of your tutorials step by step. I watch them to learn, then use them for inspiration to build my own. I am currently working on my own version of Emberheart using what I've learned from your videos. THANK YOU! and I'm so excited for the new tutorial.
I have not watched your channel before, but I've still come to admire how thoughtful and thorough your process is from this video alone. You've captured the art of making cool shit accessible and that's pretty awesome. Congratulations on all the success! And I agree with a few of the other commenters about the "part 0" stuff. In fact, making a preface video after everything else in a tutorial series gives you a ton more to say in any case. I'd argue to go for that every time, even with future tutorials.
It's true, I followed tutorials for years block-by-block, then I started making my own additions and improvements, and now I build great projects "freehand" (probably not much compared to yours, but still, I'm proud of them). I just discovered your channel, actually, through this video, and I'm already excited to have a look at the other ones and get some inspiration. If not, actually follow the tutorial.
I love the ability to have your builds in our own worlds. With new updates slightly changing seed structures, I feel it is important for the builds to be flexible enough to be built on any seed. It would suck if the coordinates of your tutorial be changed with a new biome for example reshaping the terrain. I'm working on the Mausoleum right now which can easily be relocated and plan to come back to build more once it is finished. Keep up the amazing work :)
I don't know who you are as this is the first video I have seen, but good on you for taking feedback and updating your process to make it easier to follow along with.
Just wanted to say I have finished The Arch Tower, made it fit on an island in my Roman Empire. I finished the Sanctum, but had a bit of trouble with the stairs in the walls. I’m currently working on the Mausoleum. The spires in the back are giving a run, but I got it now and it’s looking great. I vote for number 1 option. What ever you make a tutorial for, we are lucky to share in your creativity.
I love your builds so much dude, you are the literal only minecraft content creator that Ive purchased a patreon for. Your builds are both aesthetic and detailed without being "over the top" in a ridiculous fashion. Im not gonna call you the "best" builder; as theres only one Bdubbs ;), but you are iconic and inspirational. Ive learned quite a lot from your channel and the world downloads always have more in them than expected. Congrats on getting over 100k!
I have finished 2 of your builds (Sanctum and Mauseleum) and love them! Got halfway through Emberheart Castle but then accidentally deleted the world with that progress. Doh! Really looking forward to doing the new build, and yes, I enjoy adding your builds into my existing world! Thank you so very much!
That's great! Respect! But what a bummer that the save was deleted. If you mail me you I can help with "recovering" the build, but perhaps you want to build it yourself like you did the others. The first episode for the next build is finished soon. If not before the weekend, probably monday. 🙂
In my opinion, versions of individual buildings on a flat world are a nice option for people who use World Edit, although I understand that some buildings depend on the terrain. In any case, I respect your works and the symmetry with which you build. Very talented
im one of those who always decides to build these awsome buildings but the material gathering alone deters me and the thought just trails away. still....watching the timelapse and your tutorials helps me better my own builds. Keep up the great work.
Man you are amazing and one of the best builder ive seen I just hit the 2 hour mark on episode 2 on your massoleum build in survival and I've got to say I' am very impressed Keep up the good work you are a really skilled builder and words cannot explain How much I love you channel
dude, you are one of my biggest build inspirations in all of youtube, i finished one of your projects in survival, [autumn castle]. the amount of building tips and designs i got from that really helped me improve on the one thing im bad at, which is building. thank u for all the hard work u do for all the vidoes that u make🙂
I have been following your tutorials on the mausoleum, and currently on the emerald cathedral but building them both the game Enshrouded. I've had to get pretty creative in many parts of the builds because of the differences between the games so it's been challenging but a lot of fun. I'm sure it's been very time consuming making and editing these videos so thank you for that. I can't wait to see what you put out next.
im currently following your sanctum tutorial and im on your second vid. I will say the measurements definitely messed my progress up but once i realized the mistake i fixed it and kept going i love the build so so much and im hoping to use your builds for future projects on my SMP. Thank you so so much for your amazing ideas and tutorials i have found a newfound passion for building because of your builds. Again thank you SixWings
Hey Sixwings! I hope you see my comment, it was you that inspired me to go big abd tell a story in my builds. You guided me thriugh the ins and outs jf building and im proud to say i have completed 2 of your tutorials in my own hardcore. I di have one piece of constructive criticism however. I found that during your tutorials such as the arch, the Terra forming and shape was so extremely specific and you particially covered this. But i would truly appreciate making builds that can work on most land scapes and possibly even biomes. Thank you
Thank you for all that you do! Your work is so special, even amongst the saturated sphere of Minecraft builders here on YT. You're an absolute gem. Not surprised to hear you're an architect either, given how crystal clear your tutorials have been. Big love from Skåne ❤ Also... at 6:49 Is that Johan Egerkrans' art? I love his work haha
Hi neighbor! Thank you so much! That really means a lot to me. I'm so glad you found my channel. Yes it is! I love the work he did for the book about norse mythology! Can't wait to make more builds/videos in that world.
I would like seeing all of these tutorials, and some blueprints for landscaping, I know it would be a pain to do, but it would seem cool to know how to build certain builds reliant on terrain.
The idea of making at least one of your builds keeps me going on my survival world! Ive been gathering ressources for the Mausoleum, i hope someday you do the winter cathedral. It would be so great! Thanks for the hard work you put in your videos
Speaking of building "in context", I like how your builds use existing terrain, instead of simply building over it. That makes for much more interesting builds, but not enough builders even attempt it
Option 2 and call it Part 0. I'm working on Emberheart which is the 4th build of yours I have done. You're saving me so much money on therapy sessions. Needless to say, I'm a fan. Keep up the awesome work and whatever you decide, we're here for it!😄
I’m still in progress for making your Sanctum build for my server and so far everyone loves it! I’m halfway through and it’s been so awesome to see the progress so far!
First of all, a big thank YOU for all of the hard work of starting with building and filming these tutorials, just so that we can copy them in our own worlds or on our own servers. This video was really interesting, e.g. listening to how you think with the measurements. I would prefer Option 1 I think. Otherwise really looking forward to more tutorials and buildings to rebuild on a server of mine with friends (and drive them nuts with new projects, hehe)!
thank you so much for your videos! ive loved following building tutorials since i was a kid, minecraft always felt like virtual legos to me. i agree that tutorials help people learn a lot about building from them - never feel pressured to rush to finish videos
Thank you so much for creating all of your wonderful building designs and allowing us the opportunity to build and use them in our game play. I think by making a new first video with all the info needed and adding it to the groups of videos would work best. I know this would give you extra work on your already long an amazing tutorials it would clarify a few things for the people who might get confused with some of the things that can sometimes get lost during the build process. My favorite way to go about following and finishing your build tutorials is to use a single player creative world and build a section then use lightmatica to make a schematic of the section and add the sections together till I have completed the build. I can then use those schematics to place the building into my chosen map or at least try to find a good place to put the building. I have also been considering to use all of your work in a server build but was holding off due to wanting to get your permission for this use and also making sure to include crediting you as the original designer for the builds.
Thank you so much and thank you for the feed back. It sounds like you have a good approach. Of course you can use my builds. Crediting is always nice of course. 🙂
I really want to try following one of your tutorials that relies heavily on terrain. It will give me a reason to explore more, and to spread my builds out across a larger area in my survival world. I feel like that would have a more "world building" feeling when zooming around on elytra, instead of seeing a bunch of castles and different architecture styles all grouped within a few hundred blocks of each other. You've got such a strong base for your tutorial series, and I fully enjoy following along trying to keep up!
I agree. Using the existing terrain is a great way of giving the builds purpose in a sense. For Crestlink Castle I really tried using every bit of existing terrain as the base of the build. Even though some of it looks a bit random or messy, every tower is placed deliberately on supported ground. I want to do a video on that subject, I think.
As someone who spent months on the sanctum i find that the common troubles which you explained in the video aren’t so bad. I remember from time to time having some questions however i would just quickly go to the comments and soon enough find an answer to the problem. If i had to pick i think option 2 is best however i think another option could be just having pinned comments to all the common questions and having thorough answers to each. But anyways i love your builds and i’m actually really excited for the emerald cathedral, i was already planning on building it and now with a tutorial i’m very excited into starting this build. Thanks for everything once again! 🥂
Thank you! That's really great to hear. I feel like most people do just fine with the tutorials as they are now. I do have pinned comments for The Sanctum and other builds, but unfortunately people don't always check.
i have 4 of your amazing creations in my ps5 survival world, i love the darker builds like the sanctum and loreweavers keep. all love to you and i hope your channel gets plenty of success. you truly are the best creator and i thank you for your kindness to teach and inspire us. don’t keep tutorials in mind when building, you having fun is what started your channel i assume. maybe even make some smaller versions of builds here and there if it’s easier. btw option 2 would be best in my opinion. thank you again sixwings
Im personally waiting for that witches' lair tutorial. Love that build so much haha Although, i thibk you're probably the best builder out there since your tutorials are actually very clear and comprehensive for most of the time which is hard to do with some of the bigger builds.
thanks for all your hard work! Your buids always inspire me when drawing. It's a real pleasure to be able to follow all your videos, one day maybe I'll have the money to pay you back for all this!
Thanks for your brilliant work in building, tutorials and editing, these videos are always a pleasant trip and peak quality. 1) Changing video titles is confusing if anything is. Just making a new video for old tutorial series, titled "Primer" or "Foundation" would work, because it is made out of sequence. Then making new tutorials with regular episode numbering but longer early phase would work. 2) The spectacular builds are the reason I keep coming back to this channel, so limiting your creativity for tutorial-friendliness would be shame. Your builds are the best I've found in the scene, so please continue making them as intricate as you feel like. Make a variety of builds and prioritize tutorials for builds that are more tutorial-friendly organically. Awesome builds are the core, tutorials are a nice bonus. 3) Please don't push too much for tutorials, deadlines or other things that don't come up naturally in your flow. That increases the risk of creator burnout, and potentially stifles creativity and output. The more effortless the process, the richer the result. 4) Videos like this that talk about and around the process are very interesting. Your approach and quality are what makes it fascinating, so I welcome even more varied content.
Thank you so much for this in depth comment. I very much resonate with everything you wrote. Really appreciate it. I definitely want to create shorter videos like this one, covering some of my design principles. This format is problably more digestible for the average viewer than a long video going over several subjects on building. I already have two in mind.
Thank you so much for your amazing video's and tutorials. I have built several in my world and look forward to more. I had some trouble with the Emberheart castle because i built it in my existing world, and it was confusing to try to get the towers in the right place. I had to place a tower, then build some of the wall, then build another tower. I like it when you talk in the tutorials at some of the critical parts. I understand you dont want to do it all the time. I think a short pre-video would be helpful before starting the main tutorial to explain some of the nuances of the build would be great, like what kind of terrain would be best and a list of materials so people who are building in survival can get some of it together before starting the build. im not quite sure where I can place the next build in my world, but im sure i will find a place :) Thanks again for all you do !!
Thank you so much and great to get your feedback. Moire commentary is probably always more helpful and I'm also getting more comfortable doing it, so that makes it easier. Glad you enjoy following my tutorials!
I love your builds and I love your tutorials! I even build the emberheart castle twice. In survival. The first time I made my own drawings and calculations based on the timelapse and the second time following your tutorial. In both worlds I made my own custom terrain/mountain for the castle. Also, I followed your tutorial on the mausoleum in survival mode. I didn’t encounter any problems with counting blocks or measurement errors in both tutorial series, or which block to use. When I compare both builds, I personally enjoyed building the emberheart castle more the then mausoleum due to it’s complexity and more developed interior. So I would love to see more of those kind of tutorials in the future. For the next build in my survival world, I hesitate between following your tutorial on the emerald castle, or trying to rebuild crestlink castle (damn, so many mudbricks! 😂) based on the Timelapse just like I did with emberheart castle and the Arch towers. Thx for all the effort you put in your builds and tutorials! P.s. I would call the new parts ‘part 0’.
That's crazy! That's real dedication. In regards to the new series on The Emerald Cathedral, I give some suggestion for other block palettes (some of the others I actually prefer), so you shoudl check out the first episode to see if it speaks to you.
Hi, I recreated the sanctum in my own survival world and even tho it took me 4 month to finish,I absolutely love it! I changed the roof for red nether brick and it looks awesome. I started the mausoleum last week and can't wait to spend another 4 months to build it. I think your tutorials are really well done and easy to follow. And I also really love your building style!
Option 2 is more linear & uniform. Should be less confusing. The tutorials are so very helpful when thinking/planning out mass-building programs. Love the werks - keep them coming! 🙂
Hi, I’m 宗霖 王. Due to my long working hours, I often have to make use of fragmented time for creating. I’ve been searching for hardware that makes building more convenient for me, such as the MSI Claw. However, it didn’t suit my needs, so I unsubscribed, which forced me to give up on the Java version. At that time, I started following Mausoleum. Recently, I’ve been using a 13-inch iPad Pro paired with a PS5 controller to play the Bedrock Edition, along with watching tutorials on my phone. I think this has finally solved my problem, and I plan to resubscribe. I really admire your foundation work-you’re the only one who puts effort into those unseen areas. If I recall correctly, your foundations go over 50 blocks deep, something other Minecraft builders wouldn’t bother with. It reminds me of Apple’s design philosophy. I’d like to suggest that adding videos might be a better approach. Save the perfect tutorial videos for later.
Thank you for all the feedback! A lot of people have suggested making a "Part O" or "Intro" video to the existing series covering important preliminary info, instead of changing anything on the existing videos. I think this is a really good approach. I'm not sure when I'll add them but now I have some kind of plan going forward.
I'm working on the first episode of the next tutorial series and I'm very exited to release it. Thank you all for the kind words and the support!
me with my classmates had server at school and i build ed one of your crazy builds to have coolest base on server (hardcore) and when i went to my mate he build one of your cooler build than mine XD thanks for tutorial and spent time on it thanks. and u are really good builder.
On the issue of adding new information to existing playlists:
In maths, we often begin our theses with a "Chapter 0: Preliminaries", which is a dedicated chapter containing everything the audience needs to know before you can actually start with the subject itself (explaining things like special notation, prior knowledge, expected reading...)
I know it sounds kooky, but the reasoning is that this isn't actually part of the thesis proper, and as such, can't be labeled as "part 1", so it has to be part 0 instead.
I might be biased, but something like a chapter-0-video where you explain how to read your measurements & how to prepare the terrain beforehand sounds like the exact thing you're looking for, considering that those types of things aren't really part of the building process itself!
this actually sounds pretty good tbh
I was just about to suggest this. I think a part 0 or introductions vid would be both helpful and easy to implement and would save time for both viewers and SixWings.
Thanks for the suggestion. Others have mentioned something similar and since the video will be a short form and to the point video, it makes more sense to call it something like "Part 0" or "Intro" since it's there to clarify things that are already in the main series. Also, my idea of naming it Part 1 and renaming all the other, runs the risk of confusing a lot of people that are in the middle of building. Good suggestion!
A very logical and easy suggestion. Danke KarachoBolzen. 😊 Gut durchdacht.
To be honest, Recreating one of your builds that relies heavily on the terrain is part of the challenge that I enjoy.
That's really good to hear. Usually I will hear from people that are confused by aspects of a video and people that goes through a series smoothly will either not post anything or post a positiv comment that doesn't reference specifics. So it can be difficult to know what percentage of people run into trouble.
Six, the fact you are able to make full tutorials for these incredible builds is a statement to your skills and dedication. I can't imagine just how many hours it takes for you to create a design, build, record, edit, do commentary, and upload. As many of the comments suggest, you work is inspiring and so fun to even just watch you put together a world and storyline behind each build. I think making a Part 0 would be great to keep things in order and act as a preliminary video to help people get ready for the good stuff. Thank you for the work you put in!
Thank you! That means a lot to me, coming from you. Others have suggested something similar to you and I agree. Keeping the names for the old videos also avoids the confusion people in the middle of building might have. Thank you!
I started on your mausoleum build in survival mode and I’m loving building it so far! I’m just about done the foundation besides a few more details.
I've just started as well!
Im building the mausoleum too in a survival realm ..... its fantastic to see it grow over the weeks and months
@ Where are you at in the build? Half way?
dude same building in a survival realm i’m on the second video now
@ I’m still at the first video. I severely underestimated just how much blocks are needed for this build so I’m currently building a piston stone generator before continuing.
I reinstalled the game a few days ago and I'm getting inspiration from your builds. Thanks for your work SixWings!
Thank you, Michael! Hope you're doing well!
I'm not technical at all when it comes to builds, I build free hand aesthetic and cozy Bases. Your builds just wow me and inspire me all the time. I'll just leave it to the other builders here to suggest while I just thank you for these great videos,
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. So glad you get inspired by my builds.
I said it to you back when you were still uploading the episodes for the Dragon Palace, and it hold true now: You don't owe content to anyone, and I appreciate you for your offerings.
I have wanted to build Emberheart Castle for a while, but in my own on-going world. I 100% recognize that it is dependent on the terrain, and I fully plan to landscape for the build, but what I would need for that is to know the elevation differences, as well as the distances between each component of the build, in a case like that. Otherwise, I'd spend hours combing through the videos trying to ascertain exactly how to begin, and for a married father of two, I simply cannot dedicate that much time. Again, you don't OWE content to anyone, but as you're asking for suggestions, that's the only one I have, and that's only for a terrain/context-specific build.
Otherwise, I have always found your tutorials very easy to follow, which is part of why I became a dedicated follower of your channel. The addition of the crosshairs and interface, as well as the game showing the names for blocks and such is a welcome addtion, but it wasn't something the lack of which was a barrier to following your videos, in my case at least.
Nothing but love to you for your offerings, and I continue to look forward to your new projects.
I recently completed Emberheart in survival and how I started was noting that the wall between tower 2 and tower 3 is 20 blocks long, and then used that as a baseline! I started with tower 2, then the wall between tower 2 and 1, and so on ^^ it sounds tedious but thankfully with it all being broken up into timestamped chapters it's relatively easy. Not sure if this will help at all regarding the landscaping, but it's how I started out ^^
@ hey, it can’t possibly hurt, and I really appreciate the insight, as well as you taking the time to provide it.
Continue being excellent!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. And thank you for the suggestion. Emberheart Castle was probably the most difficult build to create a series around and I went with the single coordinate solution, because I blueprint would've been messy because nothing aligns. But knowing what I know now, I would probably add it anywhere. Probably a 2D-plan with additional numbers for the height different. When I get around to making a "Part 0", this is probably one of the things I'll add.
for me, you are the best minecraft builder ever. there a a lot of good builders - but noone remotely matches your buildings, your visions, the scaling, the proportions, the detailing, the choice of colours, the general dedication. phenomenal work! im happy with everything youll show! thank you !
That is so nice of you to say! Thank you! I don't know if I can live up to that, since there're so many great builders out there, but I really appreciate the comment. 🙂
As a long time viewer, I personally don't believe in tutorials. I believe in art lessons. An expert, and in this context, yes you are one, would just share his tips, advice and everything inbetween to the viewers. As making those tutorials takes so much time, I pray that you don't burn out and stop uploading other content. I am even worried that all the time you spend making tutorials is the time you are not building something new or planning to build something new. I would much rather never see another tutorial from you, if instead I could just gaze at your endless creativity and masterful cinematography. Your cinematic videos of your incredible, stunning builds are the core of your channel. By all means make tutorials if that's what you want and enjoy doing, but please don't feel like you owe it to the viewers. You don't owe us anything. I love just watching you build. It feels like witnessing magic.
Thank you! It's really nice to hear this perspective too. My "Thinking Inside the Box" video was an attempt at just that and I would like to do more videos talking about my approach. That video was probably the most time-consuming of all my videos and that includes the building part of other videos. Nobaby watched it, unfortunately, but I never regretted making it, not one bit.
When it comes to burnout, it's like I said in the last part of this video. I need to create new builds and interesting videos because that's what fuels me. And since these tutorials take so much time, people will have to wait for month or even years untill I get to the tutorial they specifically want, even if I were to only create tutorials. So I might as well just make the types of videos I want to make. But yeah, thank you for giving that perspective.
@@SixWings I watched your "Thinking Inside the Box" video at least thrice. < 3
I absolutely loved it and I wished for more of those.
I consider myself a decent builder but I've always struggled to create large builds and make them look impressive and detailed. Yours are absolutely jaw-dropping. I've tried to mimic your style of large builds, but to no avail, albeit after realising your major is in architecture and mine in English language and culture I stopped beating myself up too much regarding my builds. Your approach video inspired me so much, that I went to the bookstore and bought a giant tome of about 500 pages of history, floor plans, and plethora of pictures of old Renaissance and Baroque mansions of my country as well as some neighbouring ones. It has served me well and I've just been skimming it for hours once a week just for leisure. Best purchase I've ever made. I am eternaly grateful for your channel, that inspires me greatly.
@@steelstudio7374 so wholesome and true
I think "option 2" is better. An other option - name the new video "part 0".
Also I think you shouldn't always build with tutorial in mind, just build for your pown enjoyment!
As someome who made some simple tutorials, I can't even imagine how much work it needs to create totorials for your massive and complex builds!
Part 0, or a prequel, primer, intro, etc is the best way.
Thanks for the feedback. Naming it Part 1 or Intro and add it to the playlists would probably be better than what I suggested. And thank you for your thoughts on building with a tutorial in mind.
The most important thing is to learn building concepts. Learning how to make various domes, archways, bridges, towers, and using the terrain, etc, then applying this knowledge into a building.
I'd sure like to know the story behind that profile picture, LOL. Are you a Georgian Canadian?
Thanks so much for your tutorials. I love building them in my worlds. I find your measurement methodology easy to follow and rarely have issues following along. I think the idea of keeping the vanilla hot bar visible is really helpful in knowing exactly which block to be using/placing. Keep up the great work, I can't wait for the new build tutorial to be released!
@@CatDaddyJeff Thank you! I will. 😊
Thank you so much for making these tutorials. I can't imagine how much effort goes into them. You are so thorough and make it so easy to follow along, from my perspective. I know for sure after building some of your builds, smaller builds just don't do it for me anymore. Take care of yourself and I am excited to see what cool builds and stories you produce in the future.
Thank you so much! I'm exited for what's to come too.
I have learned so much from your tutorials. In fact, I have used a lot of your style in some of my free-lance builds. When building the Mausoleum, I completely skipped the crypt part of the build and did my own thing but used a lot of what you taught me to make Collums and buttresses. Thanks so much for influencing and expanding my build knowledge. It has been an absolute pleasure to build your builds. I would love a tutorial on the tree, my humble opinion.
I love that you put your own spin on the crypt. It's always great to see when people add their own touch.
The tree is a difficult one but maybe I can do a different kind of tutorial, since a block by block tutorial would be very complicated for both myself and you guys. But I'm really glad that the Old Hollow get's some love too!
I'm not too OG here but I learned a lot from your builds
Thanks for make our world more beautiful with your tutorials 😊
You're welcome! Glad that you found the channel.
i just wanna say this is a really great message it's very informative.
Thank you! I really appreciate it. 🙂
Your builds are always exceptional and I love seeing the time lapse videos of each. As for the tutorials, for me they are easy to follow but having the task bar and item description helps a lot. The windmill was a little difficult without it. Honestly any build you decide to to a tutorial on I'm in and would love to build it in my survival world.
Thank you and thanks for the feedback!
I am just thankfull for every build you share with us. For now i only found a place for the Sanctum in our world....
For the tutorials, that require much landscaping, maybe show the distances and elevations, of the build... So we know how high/deep mountains/cliffs have to be to fit.
Great suggestion! I definitely need to do something like this so people get a sense of where to start and how much space is needed.
I think, there is nothing bad in differences if something doesn't fit perfectly... But it is frustrating when you recognize mistakes and cannot follow the tutorial right away. 😅
I personally would love to recreate Emberheart castle and i think, i would kinda build/terraform a mountain as i build the castle at the same time maybe...
Thank you very much for your respond.
Greetings from germany. ❤
@@pattykat85 Hallo! Ich bin eigentlich halb Deutsch aber ich habe nie dahr gelebt.
Yeah, it can be frustrating, but I like your mindset. I'm glad you like my builds! 🙂
@@SixWings Aaaah cool, Dänemark ist aber auch schöner, glaube ich. 😅
How could i not like your builds? I've always loved architecture and how you recreate stilistic elements and manage proportions (with somehow still quite limited block-options) is a form of art.... And your voice is very calming. 😊 Just my opinion opinion.
PS :I am very happy you started your new tutorial for us.
your videos have truly changed how i think about building in minecraft. i have a huge issue with creativity and originality, but your videos have helped me realise what i actually want out of my builds and the steps i can take to create them. i personally think all of your explanations are perfectly clear though i do understand what you mean when you say people don't think like you do.
this is your channel and i think you should continue to do what you're passionate about over what people think you should. a big part of what makes your content so good is your creativity and you making the things that you want to. thank you for your dedication, it means a lot :)
Thank you so much! I really appreciate this. Glad I can inspire you!
@@SixWings thank you!!
You are so kind!!!! You have so much patience! And you don’t have to give tutorials for anything and people still complain when the amount of time you’re putting in to give tutorials are unimaginable, ignore the haters. Thank you so much for all you do, you’re truly incredible!!!!!
You are, hands down, my absolute favorite MC content creator. I guess our brains work similarly, as your tutorials are by far the easiest for me to follow out of any I've used, even in survival. I enjoy them immensely and actually appreciate the quietness without a bunch of filler talk. Thank you so much for everything you do for the MC community and I can't wait to see all the things you have cooking on the backburner. Hope you have an amazing holiday season, fren!
I built the Sanctum in survival, it took me 3 months. Here are some suggestions:
- In the stairs part, it was very confusing, because the towers are rotated in different directions, if I follow exactly in the tutorial, which is for only one tower, it won't work for the other towers. it will be like few blocks higher or lower. My sugguestion is to give a starting point of each tower in each direction, like where you should place your first block to build up the stairs, then the rest will be the same.
- sometime I find it difficult to follow in survival. In some parts, you build from the top down, then come back to some very high towers, which is tricky to do do in survival because I build from the bottom to top.
- For the old video, I think it is easy to follow in general, for the less effort, I would suggest add (read description) in the title and give the information there, or just make a short video as a supplement, and put it in the description. I think it is the best for your views and you can earn the most from it.
Nonetheless, I think you have amazing tutorials even without changing anything, but sure you can make it even better
! Thanks for your hard work.
Thanks for the suggestions! This happens when staircases are mirrored so I can see why this was a problem. Thanks for pointing this out. A lot of suggestions come from survival builders and I usually don't take that into account. I will think about it going forward.
Thank you SixWings, you truly are the best Minecraft youtuber
I think option 2. Since if you start with the dimensions and locations were you can build it in the beginning, it will make it a lot more clear for the people that want to build it and you won't need to make the corrections on the later parts.
Yes I agree
Thanks! Others have suggested something similar and I agree.
Hey Six
First of all, I really like your builds and they give me a lot of insperation on builds that I build myself (of course not as good as yours). Right now, I'm building the Mausoleum in my hardcore world and I already have another build of yours in mind to make next. There is one build that I think I'll build after those 2, but there isn't a tutorial yet, which isn't a problem since the other 2 builds will take a long time and it also depents on whether I'm still alive in my world. The build I'm talking about is 'The Echelon'. It looks really cool and I think it would fit perfectly in my world.
Keep making amazing tutorials and video's.
Thanks for everything.
genuinely one of my favorite youtubers, while I don’t use ur tutorials your builds have inspired me so much in my own, especially for a passion project of mine that I’ve been working on for a while
Thank you so much! That means a lot to me!
As an architect myself, I had a strong feeling you were… I’m glad to hear it’s true. Keep up the great builds!
Oh, a fellow architect! Thank you so much! 🙂
Glad I found you! I'm the builder for my group when we play Conan Exiles, but I'm pretty sure we (as a group) are getting bored over there, and there's been a lot of talk of going over to Minecraft recently. I'm really glad that TH-cam recommended this, and your channel to me! This'll be great inspiration when we get started! I look forward to trying out some of these!
Thanks so much for all of your hard work, not only making such wonderful builds but also taking the time to make tutorials for them. As for the the options you discussed I think they are both equally good however I personally prefer option 2. Also for the tutorial after this one I would love to see the Loreweaver's keep, It is my all time favorite build you have made so far. Keep up the great work always great seeing what amazing build you're gonna come up with next!
I'm glad you like Loreweaver's Keep. Thank you! Option two is also best in my opinion but maybe I'll call the first episode Part 0 or Intro. That way I can keep the others videos as is.
One recommendation for terrain specific builds is perhaps to start the series with the foundation of the primary building. That way it can act as an anchoring point to work off and will make it easier to place it in our own worlds.
Good idea! This was a bit difficult to do with the Emberheart Castle, because it mostly consists of towers not platforms, but I get your point. Thanks for the feedback!
I’ve loved seeing how the tutorials have evolved over the years
That's good to hear! It has been a good learning experience. Hope the next one will top them all. ;-)
I just wanted to comment, that you are an amazing builder. Your builds are breathtaking, extremely creative and just so stunning with the amount of detail. On top of that you create tutorials for them and try to optimize them for people to enjoy for free, i can't fathom the amount of effort that takes. I only found you a few days ago but you are by far my favorite Minecraft builder/youtuber. Wow !
@@dziugasrumblys4898 Thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind words and I'm so glad you found my channel. If you end up building some of them, remember to read the pinned comment for additional info that I didn't put in the videos. Also, just ask in the comment section if you have an issue, preferably with a timestamp too. 🙂
I like a chapter 0 video idea for a pre-video summary of what's needed.
Also, continue making crazy terrain specific builds because we are all crazy and will still make them in our personal worlds somehow because they are so awesome!
I'm making your mausoleum right now with one of my sisters while my other sister had literally made 3 of your other builds in our forever world. You are our literal favorite minecraft builder and we wanna make everything your even done!
We also have noticed how you have improved your later tutorials and the fact that you made a video asking how you can be better is so awesome and warms my heart! I hope you continue making these tutorials and that they are also fun for you!
❤ Thank you, SixWings!
Thank you so much! Really glad you like my builds and videos. Your suggestion is also great and what I think I'll end up doing.
Hello sixwings ! I'd first like to say thank you for your dedication, most of youtubers makes their tutorials, trying to make them understandable, but I've never seen any video like yours before.
One of my projects in the server I play on, is to build The Sanctum, I find this build truly beautiful. I'm almost done with part 3.
Even though your tutorials are clear for mooost of their parts, often, you build some blocks, or parts, and then realize you haven't done it well and you destroy them.
I'd also like to mention that, in part 2, you build the first side of arches and spires, then show the other side, but ... not doing it in the same order, and if I'm not wrong missing parts we built during the first side. I ended up taking back the tutorial for the first side, and mirroring it in my head to build the second, I wanted to be sure to have them perfectly symetrical.
I may be dramatizing a bit, and once again, for the videos length and the effort you put into it, those tutorials are already really good, but this video you just made shows you want to improve from feedback, so ... I'm giving mine :)
The fact you showed the amount of blocs needed was also incredibely helpful, thank you for that
For the 2 options, I believe the second one to be the best, though it depends on how much details you want to point out. If there are too much, then I guess option 1 is better.
And sorry for my english, I'm not a native speaker and I'm trying to not use a translator :)
Thank you for the feedback. Yeah, some of my older tutorials are a bit messy sometimes (they still are probably), especially when it comes to building and deleting again. I edit that out in newer tutorials. It's great to hear about these issue, so I can do better going forward.
Thank you again for your inspirational designs! They are truly some of the finest builds in Minecraft. You’re a legend!
Thank you! Always great seeing out around.
I've built your Bathhouse and Birchblossum Castle and am now 3/4 of the way through your Mausoleum. I am more amazed and in awe by your level of design and details the more I build.
Thank you for caring what we think! lol
Seriously though, I wouldn't stress too much about the terrain. I look at your builds, and when I decide I want to build one, I go looking for a terrain that I think will fit...and adjust either parts of the terrain, or the build accordingly!
I'm glad you're addressing the issue, so we know how YOU count the dimensions, since we all potentially think differently. It might not be a bad idea to have video where you just explain your method(s), and then you can just refer people to it, in "part one" of each series.
Finally, thanks for all the AMAZING builds! I hope you keep at it for years to come!
@@tanstai661 Thank you so much! I really like your thought process. It sounds like you're good at adapting builds to the context you need. 🙂
I started on The Autumn Castle the day after you made that first tutorial and still haven't been able to finish it. I finished high school, had a 2 year relationship, and have now hit my 1 year anniversary at my job and still I haven't been able to finish it. But by the end of this year, I swear I'll do my absolute best to finish the main building at least. Thank you SixWings. For the inspiration and creativity that your builds bring us. ❤
Bro thank you so much for your Videos, just building your awesome creations in Minecraft is a good way to relax!
Your all vid are good.We love your gient builds tutorial. U have great ideas very good to understand. I think new builders can build that nice build to see your tutorials. You're awesome. We are waiting for your next nice tutorials. 😊 Don't stop grow like this.
Thanks for the encouragement!
Hi. I'm playing Minecraft for 11 years and to be honest you are one of the best builders I've ever seen so I have so much respect for you because your builds are inspirations for me to help my friends with their new TH-cam channels to create fabular series and to other films like hunger games. In my opinion it's good decidion to conntact with your viewers to create kind of relationship with them. I'm glad to listen your own sentens. Poland with you 💪
That is really sweet of you, thank you. I'm glad you found my channel. I don't kniw, it just seems so easy to answer comments, when they're right there.. if that makes sense. And I like to help when people take so much time out of their lives to build my creations, so I feel I need to be a guide and help them out. 🙂
I always loved your Bath Tower very much. It´s so light, breezy, uplifting and elegant. If you ever make a tutorial on it, I will start playing MC again. The "rest" of what you build is insane too of course. You are one of the best builders I ever found.
I really appreciate it, thank you. I like that one too. I'll definitely take note and perhaps cover that one at some point.
Don't always build with a tutorial in mind. I enjoy seeing builds that may not get a tutorial just as much as the ones that do. I really like the idea of option 2 for adding a new video with the updated information on what is needed to know before those who are following it start building. I'm really excited to see what all you have coming up next and always look forward to your videos.
Thank you! I'm really glad you say that. Even though it makes it easier, the easy way is not always the fun way. Stay tuned for the next series coming up very soon. Thanks again, as always!
You could use the second option, but instead of renaming each episode, labelling the new part "introduction', or my favorite choice for this 'Part 0', something along those lines would make it the easiest
I think that you should make a video explaining all of the prior knowledge that might help your viewers and add it to every tutorial. I think that option 2 would be best, so viewers are still able to view the original video. I truly do love your videos and how gorgeous your builds are. I love that you make tutorials for huge builds that are intricate and time consuming. Very inspiring.
Thank you so much! I think option 2 is best but as others have suggested, calling it Part 0 and leaving the others as is, is probably an even better option.
Your builds are probably the most beautiful ones I've ever seen.
Thank you so much!
Don't underestimate a builder's willingness to recreate the terrain to make one of your builds
.
Your and Architect!! Same here. You know...I never thought to try out one of your builds. Might be fun to try. Great work sir.
I love every single video you have made! When I watch them, a feeling of amazement comes over me. I especially love the story you add to the builds at the end. As far as adding new information goes, do it whichever way feels the most effective and complete to YOU! I haven't followed any of your tutorials step by step. I watch them to learn, then use them for inspiration to build my own. I am currently working on my own version of Emberheart using what I've learned from your videos. THANK YOU! and I'm so excited for the new tutorial.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you like the story parts of my builds. They're so fun to make and I'll never stop adding them. 🙂
I have not watched your channel before, but I've still come to admire how thoughtful and thorough your process is from this video alone. You've captured the art of making cool shit accessible and that's pretty awesome. Congratulations on all the success!
And I agree with a few of the other commenters about the "part 0" stuff. In fact, making a preface video after everything else in a tutorial series gives you a ton more to say in any case. I'd argue to go for that every time, even with future tutorials.
Thank you so much and welcome! I'm glad you found my channel. I agree about a "Part 0".
You're the one really awesome. Thank you for your hard work over the years.
You're welcome!
Your builds are insane. Can't wait to try and build more!
It's true, I followed tutorials for years block-by-block, then I started making my own additions and improvements, and now I build great projects "freehand" (probably not much compared to yours, but still, I'm proud of them). I just discovered your channel, actually, through this video, and I'm already excited to have a look at the other ones and get some inspiration. If not, actually follow the tutorial.
I love the ability to have your builds in our own worlds. With new updates slightly changing seed structures, I feel it is important for the builds to be flexible enough to be built on any seed. It would suck if the coordinates of your tutorial be changed with a new biome for example reshaping the terrain. I'm working on the Mausoleum right now which can easily be relocated and plan to come back to build more once it is finished. Keep up the amazing work :)
it is a pleasure being a part of your community. you are both empowering and emasculating (at the same time)...
TH-cam algorithm was cooking when it recommended you to me 🔥🔥 gonna build everything
I don't know who you are as this is the first video I have seen, but good on you for taking feedback and updating your process to make it easier to follow along with.
Just wanted to say I have finished The Arch Tower, made it fit on an island in my Roman Empire. I finished the Sanctum, but had a bit of trouble with the stairs in the walls. I’m currently working on the Mausoleum. The spires in the back are giving a run, but I got it now and it’s looking great. I vote for number 1 option. What ever you make a tutorial for, we are lucky to share in your creativity.
Sounds great! Others have mentioned the staircase thing and I get why it might not make sense. Glad you're mentioning these things.
I would prefer option 2. It makes the most sense and leaves the least room for mistakes. Love your videos!
Thank you! I agree. Some people have suggested calling it Part 0 or Intro, so the others are named as they are now. That might be even better.
I love your builds so much dude, you are the literal only minecraft content creator that Ive purchased a patreon for. Your builds are both aesthetic and detailed without being "over the top" in a ridiculous fashion. Im not gonna call you the "best" builder; as theres only one Bdubbs ;), but you are iconic and inspirational. Ive learned quite a lot from your channel and the world downloads always have more in them than expected. Congrats on getting over 100k!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. Yeah, Bdubbs makes some awesome stuff from what I've seen. His builds always have so much personality.
I have finished 2 of your builds (Sanctum and Mauseleum) and love them! Got halfway through Emberheart Castle but then accidentally deleted the world with that progress. Doh! Really looking forward to doing the new build, and yes, I enjoy adding your builds into my existing world! Thank you so very much!
That's great! Respect! But what a bummer that the save was deleted. If you mail me you I can help with "recovering" the build, but perhaps you want to build it yourself like you did the others. The first episode for the next build is finished soon. If not before the weekend, probably monday. 🙂
In my opinion, versions of individual buildings on a flat world are a nice option for people who use World Edit, although I understand that some buildings depend on the terrain. In any case, I respect your works and the symmetry with which you build. Very talented
Thank you! Great feedback!
im one of those who always decides to build these awsome buildings but the material gathering alone deters me and the thought just trails away. still....watching the timelapse and your tutorials helps me better my own builds. Keep up the great work.
I totally get that. I'm not making it easy for you guys, but I'm I glad you enjoy my builds and videos regardless!
Man you are amazing and one of the best builder ive seen I just hit the 2 hour mark on episode 2 on your massoleum build in survival and I've got to say I' am very impressed Keep up the good work you are a really skilled builder and words cannot explain How much I love you channel
And it would be crazy nice if you build sometime in the future a observatory
Thank you, truly!
dude, you are one of my biggest build inspirations in all of youtube, i finished one of your projects in survival, [autumn castle]. the amount of building tips and designs i got from that really helped me improve on the one thing im bad at, which is building. thank u for all the hard work u do for all the vidoes that u make🙂
That's awesome! Really glad I could be of help. 🙂
I have been following your tutorials on the mausoleum, and currently on the emerald cathedral but building them both the game Enshrouded. I've had to get pretty creative in many parts of the builds because of the differences between the games so it's been challenging but a lot of fun. I'm sure it's been very time consuming making and editing these videos so thank you for that. I can't wait to see what you put out next.
im currently following your sanctum tutorial and im on your second vid. I will say the measurements definitely messed my progress up but once i realized the mistake i fixed it and kept going i love the build so so much and im hoping to use your builds for future projects on my SMP. Thank you so so much for your amazing ideas and tutorials i have found a newfound passion for building because of your builds. Again thank you SixWings
I'm glad you made it work! You're welcome and thank you for the nice words. I'm glad my videos and builds resonate with you. 🙂
Hey Sixwings! I hope you see my comment, it was you that inspired me to go big abd tell a story in my builds. You guided me thriugh the ins and outs jf building and im proud to say i have completed 2 of your tutorials in my own hardcore. I di have one piece of constructive criticism however. I found that during your tutorials such as the arch, the Terra forming and shape was so extremely specific and you particially covered this. But i would truly appreciate making builds that can work on most land scapes and possibly even biomes.
Thank you
Thank you for all that you do! Your work is so special, even amongst the saturated sphere of Minecraft builders here on YT. You're an absolute gem. Not surprised to hear you're an architect either, given how crystal clear your tutorials have been. Big love from Skåne ❤
Also... at 6:49 Is that Johan Egerkrans' art? I love his work haha
Hi neighbor! Thank you so much! That really means a lot to me. I'm so glad you found my channel.
Yes it is! I love the work he did for the book about norse mythology! Can't wait to make more builds/videos in that world.
I would like seeing all of these tutorials, and some blueprints for landscaping, I know it would be a pain to do, but it would seem cool to know how to build certain builds reliant on terrain.
The idea of making at least one of your builds keeps me going on my survival world! Ive been gathering ressources for the Mausoleum, i hope someday you do the winter cathedral. It would be so great! Thanks for the hard work you put in your videos
Thank you so much! It is a big commitment, but if you take your time and take breaks when needed, you should be fine. 🙂
Speaking of building "in context", I like how your builds use existing terrain, instead of simply building over it. That makes for much more interesting builds, but not enough builders even attempt it
Glad you like that. I'm not a fan of terraforming so it's a good alternative and some of my favorite builds are made on vanilla terrain.
Option 2 and call it Part 0. I'm working on Emberheart which is the 4th build of yours I have done. You're saving me so much money on therapy sessions. Needless to say, I'm a fan. Keep up the awesome work and whatever you decide, we're here for it!😄
That's so awesome! And great suggestion, thank you! This is the best option I think. I'm really glad my videos helped you. 🙂
I’m still in progress for making your Sanctum build for my server and so far everyone loves it! I’m halfway through and it’s been so awesome to see the progress so far!
First of all, a big thank YOU for all of the hard work of starting with building and filming these tutorials, just so that we can copy them in our own worlds or on our own servers. This video was really interesting, e.g. listening to how you think with the measurements. I would prefer Option 1 I think.
Otherwise really looking forward to more tutorials and buildings to rebuild on a server of mine with friends (and drive them nuts with new projects, hehe)!
Thanks a lot! I hope you'll have a good time building them!
I just finished The Sanctum build and I absolutely love it, it would be amazing to see an interior for it!!
I absolutely love your videos and especially recreating them in our world thank you very much
@@weessii You're welcome! Really glad you like them. 🙂
You actually have so much skill my guy keep it up
I will, thank you!
thank you so much for your videos! ive loved following building tutorials since i was a kid, minecraft always felt like virtual legos to me. i agree that tutorials help people learn a lot about building from them - never feel pressured to rush to finish videos
Thank you! That awesome to hear. 🙂
Thank you so much for creating all of your wonderful building designs and allowing us the opportunity to build and use them in our game play. I think by making a new first video with all the info needed and adding it to the groups of videos would work best. I know this would give you extra work on your already long an amazing tutorials it would clarify a few things for the people who might get confused with some of the things that can sometimes get lost during the build process. My favorite way to go about following and finishing your build tutorials is to use a single player creative world and build a section then use lightmatica to make a schematic of the section and add the sections together till I have completed the build. I can then use those schematics to place the building into my chosen map or at least try to find a good place to put the building. I have also been considering to use all of your work in a server build but was holding off due to wanting to get your permission for this use and also making sure to include crediting you as the original designer for the builds.
Thank you so much and thank you for the feed back. It sounds like you have a good approach. Of course you can use my builds. Crediting is always nice of course. 🙂
I just finished building the Sanctum in Survival. I love your tutorials so much! They’re super easy to follow
Awesome to hear, thank you!
I really want to try following one of your tutorials that relies heavily on terrain. It will give me a reason to explore more, and to spread my builds out across a larger area in my survival world. I feel like that would have a more "world building" feeling when zooming around on elytra, instead of seeing a bunch of castles and different architecture styles all grouped within a few hundred blocks of each other.
You've got such a strong base for your tutorial series, and I fully enjoy following along trying to keep up!
I agree. Using the existing terrain is a great way of giving the builds purpose in a sense. For Crestlink Castle I really tried using every bit of existing terrain as the base of the build. Even though some of it looks a bit random or messy, every tower is placed deliberately on supported ground. I want to do a video on that subject, I think.
I love this man! A true architect!
Thank you!
As someone who spent months on the sanctum i find that the common troubles which you explained in the video aren’t so bad. I remember from time to time having some questions however i would just quickly go to the comments and soon enough find an answer to the problem. If i had to pick i think option 2 is best however i think another option could be just having pinned comments to all the common questions and having thorough answers to each.
But anyways i love your builds and i’m actually really excited for the emerald cathedral, i was already planning on building it and now with a tutorial i’m very excited into starting this build.
Thanks for everything once again! 🥂
Thank you! That's really great to hear. I feel like most people do just fine with the tutorials as they are now. I do have pinned comments for The Sanctum and other builds, but unfortunately people don't always check.
Option 1 is perfect and most desireable. I do need the measurement in the beginning to fit the building in my own world, then i rebuild your building.
Thanks for the input!
omg those r like the best builds Ive seen in a while
Thaank you so much!
I'm so excited for the next one!!! one of my favorites
Thank you!
i have 4 of your amazing creations in my ps5 survival world, i love the darker builds like the sanctum and loreweavers keep. all love to you and i hope your channel gets plenty of success. you truly are the best creator and i thank you for your kindness to teach and inspire us. don’t keep tutorials in mind when building, you having fun is what started your channel i assume. maybe even make some smaller versions of builds here and there if it’s easier. btw option 2 would be best in my opinion. thank you again sixwings
Wow, that's incredible! Thank you so much for the kind words and the feedback. I'm really glad that you had fun building them.
Im personally waiting for that witches' lair tutorial. Love that build so much haha
Although, i thibk you're probably the best builder out there since your tutorials are actually very clear and comprehensive for most of the time which is hard to do with some of the bigger builds.
Glad you like that one. I will do it, don't worry. Thank you so much! There're so many great builders but I'm so glad you like what I create! 🙂
thanks for all your hard work! Your buids always inspire me when drawing. It's a real pleasure to be able to follow all your videos, one day maybe I'll have the money to pay you back for all this!
Thank you! That really means a lot to me. Don't feel pressure to pay anything. 🙂
Thanks for your brilliant work in building, tutorials and editing, these videos are always a pleasant trip and peak quality.
1) Changing video titles is confusing if anything is. Just making a new video for old tutorial series, titled "Primer" or "Foundation" would work, because it is made out of sequence. Then making new tutorials with regular episode numbering but longer early phase would work.
2) The spectacular builds are the reason I keep coming back to this channel, so limiting your creativity for tutorial-friendliness would be shame. Your builds are the best I've found in the scene, so please continue making them as intricate as you feel like. Make a variety of builds and prioritize tutorials for builds that are more tutorial-friendly organically. Awesome builds are the core, tutorials are a nice bonus.
3) Please don't push too much for tutorials, deadlines or other things that don't come up naturally in your flow. That increases the risk of creator burnout, and potentially stifles creativity and output. The more effortless the process, the richer the result.
4) Videos like this that talk about and around the process are very interesting. Your approach and quality are what makes it fascinating, so I welcome even more varied content.
Thank you so much for this in depth comment. I very much resonate with everything you wrote. Really appreciate it.
I definitely want to create shorter videos like this one, covering some of my design principles. This format is problably more digestible for the average viewer than a long video going over several subjects on building. I already have two in mind.
Your builds are so detailed and for me its like legos. I love the challange and the long hrs building🙏you are really talented.
Thank you so much! Glad to hear that you like the challenge.
Thank you so much for your amazing video's and tutorials. I have built several in my world and look forward to more. I had some trouble with the Emberheart castle because i built it in my existing world, and it was confusing to try to get the towers in the right place. I had to place a tower, then build some of the wall, then build another tower. I like it when you talk in the tutorials at some of the critical parts. I understand you dont want to do it all the time. I think a short pre-video would be helpful before starting the main tutorial to explain some of the nuances of the build would be great, like what kind of terrain would be best and a list of materials so people who are building in survival can get some of it together before starting the build. im not quite sure where I can place the next build in my world, but im sure i will find a place :)
Thanks again for all you do !!
Thank you so much and great to get your feedback. Moire commentary is probably always more helpful and I'm also getting more comfortable doing it, so that makes it easier. Glad you enjoy following my tutorials!
I love your builds and I love your tutorials! I even build the emberheart castle twice. In survival. The first time I made my own drawings and calculations based on the timelapse and the second time following your tutorial. In both worlds I made my own custom terrain/mountain for the castle. Also, I followed your tutorial on the mausoleum in survival mode. I didn’t encounter any problems with counting blocks or measurement errors in both tutorial series, or which block to use. When I compare both builds, I personally enjoyed building the emberheart castle more the then mausoleum due to it’s complexity and more developed interior. So I would love to see more of those kind of tutorials in the future. For the next build in my survival world, I hesitate between following your tutorial on the emerald castle, or trying to rebuild crestlink castle (damn, so many mudbricks! 😂) based on the Timelapse just like I did with emberheart castle and the Arch towers. Thx for all the effort you put in your builds and tutorials!
P.s. I would call the new parts ‘part 0’.
That's crazy! That's real dedication. In regards to the new series on The Emerald Cathedral, I give some suggestion for other block palettes (some of the others I actually prefer), so you shoudl check out the first episode to see if it speaks to you.
@@SixWings Thank you, I will certainly watch the first episode 😊
Hi, I recreated the sanctum in my own survival world and even tho it took me 4 month to finish,I absolutely love it! I changed the roof for red nether brick and it looks awesome. I started the mausoleum last week and can't wait to spend another 4 months to build it. I think your tutorials are really well done and easy to follow. And I also really love your building style!
That's great to hear! Thank you so much!
OMG!!! I CANT WAIT FOR THE CATHEDRAL!!!!! IM SO EXCITED SIX!!!!!!! YOUVE MADE MY DAY!! VTHANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!! XOXOXOXO
You're welcome! Glad I picked that one then. 😀
Thank you for making these tutorials!
I am planning to copy all your builds in my survival world..
❤
You're welcome!
Option 2 is more linear & uniform. Should be less confusing. The tutorials are so very helpful when thinking/planning out mass-building programs. Love the werks - keep them coming! 🙂
Jep, I agree. Thanks!
Hi, I’m 宗霖 王. Due to my long working hours, I often have to make use of fragmented time for creating. I’ve been searching for hardware that makes building more convenient for me, such as the MSI Claw. However, it didn’t suit my needs, so I unsubscribed, which forced me to give up on the Java version. At that time, I started following Mausoleum.
Recently, I’ve been using a 13-inch iPad Pro paired with a PS5 controller to play the Bedrock Edition, along with watching tutorials on my phone. I think this has finally solved my problem, and I plan to resubscribe. I really admire your foundation work-you’re the only one who puts effort into those unseen areas. If I recall correctly, your foundations go over 50 blocks deep, something other Minecraft builders wouldn’t bother with. It reminds me of Apple’s design philosophy.
I’d like to suggest that adding videos might be a better approach. Save the perfect tutorial videos for later.
