Thanks for visiting my channel and watching this tutorial! Do these tips for building spiral stairs make sense? Will you use this system in your builds?
Will make of good use
I am more curious how your texturing is working back there. It looks almost like you got stairs interlocking into each other in those walls. What is going on there? This some kind of texture pack?
I think these would be great for my underwater base on Bedrock. Currently I'm using bubble elevators for everything, but I've wanted to change things up
One of the main takeaways I got from this is actually that it's just so much better to have the entrance to the staircase be 1 block wide instead of [the width of the staircase] wide.. Cx
I also learnt that you can shift the start step by one for corners, and also that fact about the swords (we need more real life lore facts in building I believe)
The Stay True pack and the Continuity mod.
Honestly this is mostly how I generally do spiral stairs after a *lot* of trial and error. Although I will admit that I have also been risky and left the center open with water at the bottom for a speedy descent. 😅
same, with the water part
i do the same thing but without stairs
i did a spiral stair tower that comes from layer 10 (old verions where the bedrock layer was 0 and goes to 4) to about 128 blocks high. The tower shape wide and get wider with deep, soo the surface portion is almost a tunnel, the dowards increase, on the top i get a increase in angle to be larger but in a higher angle than in the bottom portion. The entire sutructure that is rising has a huge spiral stair with both stairs and slabs in a complex partner that i developed to be really smoth and the most semetrical i could find, but it is actually two tower one in the middle with a inner space of 6x6 inner round shaped and inside it has item elevators that bring all my farm itens to a storage system on top of it, also has a player elevator with water columns and water fall pads for more easy travel than the stair itself. The design has all posibilities, but i never finish the entire strucuture the top portion is all open without properly walls exposing my storage system all arround, also my bed room that is on the top was just a bed in the main room. I have to build a more elaborated version, and finish it this time LOL
@viniciusschadeck4992 Kind of sounds like my trees, on the server I play on my main bases are almost always some sort of giant tree. My current version honestly isn't that big in comparison to some I have done but they usually also include a pretty intense basement. So I have a tendency to build with a lot of corkscrew and fluid platforms but also use the spiral staircases for when I need something more compact or for my mines.
A cleaner version of this is putting a carpet over a powdered snow block
I had no idea about the practical reason spiral staircases go clockwise up. Cool.
A survey of Norman stairs found about a 50/50 distribution of left and right-handed stairs, even discovering incongruity in the same complex or keep with no regard to strategy. Sometimes, truth is not as much fun as a good theory made up by a British man in his armchair.
This video is spiraling out of control.
lol I love these silly jokes so much, thank you for that one.
Every time I try to build this I just keep going in circles.
@@mmmelone24 these jokes are spiraling out of control
This guy's so good at building stairs he's running circles around us!
Finally someone who goes straight to the point and gives actually good tips that can be generalised easily, no unnecessary fluff around it. Thank you for the vid.
Thanks for watching!
Damn that gave me flash backs to being in the military. Instructions so clear and concise with every nuance thought of. If you have half a brain cell and paid attention, you will complete this task without mistakes. It made me instantly subscribe lol. Everyone speaks a language to communicate but uh, not everyone is actually communicating :) Flawless video imo, thank you very much.
How do I superheart this comment? Thank you so much!
I think i might have half a brain cell left and was thinking of joining the air force. Should i do it?
@@ravenblackwing7888 Yes. Yes you should. two times. :p
Damn that's really cool comment!
I love the context of why it's built a certain way at 6:20. Great video, thank you!
This video is so clear and concise. I suck a making stairs in general so this will really help my build. Thanks!
Awesome, thanks Franky!
I was about to answer the exact same 😄
Good thing I saw your comment first. 👏
@@dudieboy love your content also I gotta point out your old man avatar really fits your commentary and voice.....XD😈🤭😜❤ no offense intended just Kidding, technically there’s truth to it...😉❤😈
Also good to remember is using a full block as the center pilar (as in this video). I used a wall block to make a more open spiral stairs a bit thinner, but this causes you to go up/down slower because the hitbox collides. Just a tip.
Thanks!
Indeed. Walls or fences in the center are possible, but you force yourself to only use slabs and stairs, since their interaction with full blocks makes the hitbox stick up. And then the central post will not look connected to the stairs themselves.
I’m a bit proud because I came to the same basic design on my own when I was building a castle. But I never expanded the towers to be 7-wide circular and that’s a terrific idea!
Architecture and history lessons built in. Love it. Thank you
Ever since i think a specific fantasy book pointed it out to me, the rotational direction is something that always sticks out to me, so I'm glad you brought it up here!
I always appreciate a clear, concise, and explicit explanation of mechanics and reasoning when it comes to tutorials. I can't say if doing that will help you find success on youtube, but I appreciate it. I've wondered about spiral rails for minecarts as well.
I think I might use a spiral staircase for the tailor/cobbler build that I've sat on for six months.
Awesome! Good luck with the buildup
As a builder, I was expecting a much more complicated video, but this was incredibely clear and concise - well done!
I found this video accidenatlly and I didn't realise I needed to know how to do stairs properly. It all makes sense now. So I'm going to have to plan a few spiral staircases in my next build. Thank you so much!
Awesome, my pleasure!
If you want a spiral stair case which rises at double the rate, you can use trap doors or carpet on top of a fence post.
Interesting! Thanks.
Or just use stairs in the corners too. The only reason to use slabs is if you want to go only 4 blocks per revolution.
@@christophersavignon4191 Stairs can be a little bit awkward to traverse stepping onto them from the side, which you'll be forced to do in a design like this. They can work, but generally slabs are easier.
@@sorrowandsufferin924
If you get stuck, you built it wrong. There are no full-block steps if you place the steps correctly.
I'm guessing you tried to place them sideways toward the next stairs instead of straight against the wall. Nobody forced you to do that, you just didn't see the alternative.
Definitely a good tutorial. I've made some spiral staircases that were good, but made plenty that were terrible. I already knew the historical reason why spiral staircases spiral the way they do, but I felt like that was a nice touch of history to add into how to make good spiral staircases.
Awesome, thanks!
I love building spiral staircases, to the point that my friends joke about it. I really liked your circular design with the 3-slab landings. I'm gonna start using that.
I love how good it matches the 5x5 pattern, but the 7x7 is just *chef's kiss*
I always used stairs but OF COURSE I never noticed slabs are the exact same and look much more consistent until you pointed it out in this video! Thanks for the design! It’s perfect!
i've come across some of these tips myself with lots of trial and error but hearing it all laid out so plainly makes it a lot easier to visualize mentally
This is a fantastic demonstration and tutorial. I've been wanting to build a sort of wizard's tower the next time I play, and this design will fit it *perfectly*.
It's almost funny how obvious this seems once I've seen it - I'm a bit surprised this was the first time.
I'm feeling inspired! Thank you!
Edit to add: I really like your speaking voice, as well.
I would love to see what you build! I will also be adding a tutorial about towers in the near future. Thanks!
I never considered the theory behind this; now it makes so much sense. I now also know that the next time I have to launch an assault up a flight of medieval spiral stairs, I’ll take my opponents by surprise by being left-handed
🤣
Very nice! Spiral staircases are not always the most fun to build, but you made it very easy to understand.
Thanks so much JayDee!
I've used similar designs and sometimes add stairs to add an extra slant in the diagonal stairs to keep the look neat. This is a good first take into early builds.
The stair tutorial I didn't know I needed. Well done.
This is exactly the kind of content I've been wishing for.
The Historical insights thrown around are a good idea, but the staircase swordsmanship story which is rather popular from castle tourguides and popular documentaries repeating it, has gotten a lot of criticism and mediæval mythbusting against it over time. From observing certain castles we get bizarre scenes like them having spiral staircases that go both clockwise and counterclockwise that the theory then needs to explain away and it grants the rather dubious claim that people at the very very desperate moment in a siege where the attackers are within such a structure would be fighting on the staircase instead of at the top or somewhere else more beneficial. It's probably got more to do with construction technique and technology than defensive planning.
All this to say, I actually appreciate the effort to introduce historical notes into the video like the staircase spiral direction theory or the comment on Norman castles - I just advise to see if there's controversy around a historical theory and if the counterarguments might be more compelling. A lot more work, obviously - but ultimately rather rewarding!
I appreciate your video. You clearly explained different types of staircases and helped me learn those shapes. I never was a good builder, but I had some ideas on how to make things. It's just that I always build in survival and mistakes take too long to fix, which discourages. Now I'll know how to build, I can improvise from here.
Thank you for this video! It was so well explained :D
Your tutorial is well made and easy to understand nicely done, and it's interesting how almost every builder (including myself) has such a similar style of building a spiral staircase.
Definitely more building tutorials like this! I really like consept of taking one specific aspect and explaining it in detail 👍 subscribed!
Thank you! Will do!
i appreciate this tutorial!!
not too long ago, i was trying to make some for a house in game
now i gotta see what wizardry i can perform with both stair blocks and slabs. wish me luck!
and thank you for the tutorial!
Clearly and concisely explained, shows different ways of building a staircase, cool skin and pretty builds. This was great! Will definitely br using this knowledge.
The video I didn't know I needed. Idk why I've never thought to use slabs for this before but DUH it makes sense
You don't need a full block at the corners when using stairs, it'll just be very steep and therefore only possible to ascend by hugging the outer wall. This adds another strategic benefit in that attackers will have more trouble ascending the stairs than defenders descending.
You could actually altogether fix it by putting an inward facing stairs under the next one so the corner stair becomes a corner stair. Or at least, I think you could.
@@NintendoSunnyDee The side facing you must be a halfblock to be able to ascend. An outside corner stair would work for that purpose, but would look weird as there'd be a hole underneath the next bit of stair.
It's perfectly ascendable without any corner stairs if you just remember that the side facing you must be a halfblock along its entire length in order to ascend without jumping.
Just orient the corner stair against the wall, and you'll have no hangups both upwards and downwards. There will be a tiny gap at the inward side, which gets closed when you fill the underside with upside-down stairs.
this was actually a cool video... easy to listen to with no extraneous hyperactive rambling, simple and effective build walktrough with various hypotecticals cutting out the fluff and leaving plenty of "show" and just enough "tell", AND a few educational fun facts about medieval architecture!!... absolutely well done, great video, I'm definitely gonna make a spiral staircase like this in my next base.
Wow, thanks!
Clear and concise explanation of the build theory. Love that you added the historical context as well!
Thanks for watching!
This tutorial was perfect, easy to understand, and I'm eager to utilize this method in my future builds!
Thank you! I was trying to figure this out for a build. I didn't think to use slabs instead of stair blocks. I'll have to try this out!
That was brilliant mate, concise, easy and to the point. No shouting just calm and soothing, loved it. Look forward to your tutorials on roof lines and bridges.
Thanks! Great ideas for videos. :D
Fantastic video, I think you've given me a great idea on how to implement spiral stairs on a giant tree I want to make in my friend and I's realm.
Thank you for showing so many options, it was great
Having learned to play AD&D in 1983. I've always been fond of the Medieval times or Ancient history and the like. Thank you so much for this strait forward tutorial for great spiral stair cases! You have yourself a new subscriber as I glanced at some of your other videos I want to check out. Thank you!!
Thank you! Wow, I was playing AD&D in 1983 too! 😄
That’s a really nice video dude! I never thought building spiral stairs video could be so educative. Now I want to build one on my World lol
I love it! Thank you so much!
OK, I need to rebuild my stairs. Thanks for this tutorial, it's perfect and I didn't knew I needed it
I’ve definitely done this sort of thing on three builds in my personal realm. First time was like 2 years ago when I wanted a way to get to my third level without using a majority of my room. The second one was something I built 1 year ago into a landscape to get to a boat landing/cove/cave. Third was something I did with a semi circular house build for both upstairs and downstairs access. All three are so very different than the others and I ended up having to make a copy of the realm to lay out the stairs, then take screenshots to follow along exactly.
Its so funny and interesting that things like how you hold a sword still influence things today! It also has influenced that the standard way to mount a horse is from the left side, because you carry your sword on the left hip
Thanks for lovely spiral and voice :) I do a lot of spiral stairs myself, but my stairs going mostly down instead of up, to the dark and darker.
i would love to see a video like this about how to make those grand staircases, that are a quarter circle on each side to reach a central landing. thats the one type of stair i just havent managed to pull off without there being SOME one block high jumps.
bonus, came for the stair video out of boredom, liked because your technique is easy to follow and i wish i'd had a video like this 7 years ago when i was learning.
Subscribed because of the historical facts!
Wow, that's a really great staircase. Thanks for showing that off.
A very nice explanation buddy - ty!
This is actually a useful wnd short tutorial to better a build! I love it! Thanks for sharing this knowledge :D i found your channel from here
You’re welcome!
Great work builder bro! I already knew all this but tbh, I just watched this because you seemed cool and this was a very pleasant video to start my day!
Glad you enjoyed!
Omg i had no idea something so simple could be more complicated than i imagined and yet very useful to know. How have i not thought of this yet? Lol thanks, i will definitely use these tips 😸😜😺
Thanks for solving one of my MC problems with this explanation...
Thank you!! Pinning this as a simple, easy reminder. Clear instructions are appreciated!
Glad it helped!
Great video! I'm definitely using these tips. Also just subscribed!
Thanks, and welcome!
This video came just in time for me as I was thinking of decorating my wizard tower. This is a perfect way to change it up! I have a couple stairways I might replace with one of these.
Nice!
Very helpful! Thank you! I've never been able to get spiral staircases to look right. I'm definitely going to start doing it this way.
Glad to help!
really big fan of this style of video. The instructions are clear, informative, and applicable to real builds, and theres even history spliced in there with examples!! it seems like u have a real affinity for this type of design, and you should use that when you make more of these fairly short videos where you detail how to build it, when you can use it in our builds, how you can build around it, what impact does it have on the build and the experience of walking thru it... really helpful stuff to add to our creative palette! love u stay safe
Thanks!
I clicked this video because I saw that it has the spiral staircase that i use, all the time, the 5x5 one!! It is such a good design, and feels much better than running up the 3x3 one! It gives perfect clearance to hang lanterns between the levels. If you are feeling adventurous you can also build a water elevator into the center held by doors and trapdoors, if you're careful
I love how you mentioned the slandered direction of the stair case.
Great Vid. I've always struggled with these for some reason but this laid it out in an easy to follow way with multiple variations that weren't overdone.
Glad it helped! Thanks.
What a beautiful explanation for these staircases. I usually get something I like, but it takes so much trial and error. I never did the math to figure it out, and your explanation makes it super easy to grasp and intuit.
Thanks!
This is a great video. The explanations teach you a lot more than merely to build a spiral staircase, it exposes the concept behind it. I'm getting ideas again. Thanks so much for this.
Thank you!
Nice tutorial! For sure I will include these in my tree house.
You can also make the pillar bigger to either make each step bigger or make you go higher before you are at the next level, such a style would look nice with 2 wide or 3 wide stairs
Simple, solid, straightforward spiral staircases. Superb showing!
The first adjectives that came to mind seriously were "simple, straightforward, and solid tutorial" so after that I just had to continue the alliteration.
Awesome, thanks! 😃
I love this a lot, actually. Very insightful!
Thanks!
Awesome thank you! If u havent made a vid like this for rooftops, thatd be great thank you! I'll be checking out ur channel now 😌
I need to do this for my next mineshaft, I normally make 5x5 stairways going down with holes drilled in the center face support for light sources every 1/2 revolution, but the slabs will be a lot smoother than the stairs
Thank you for the tutorial
You can use a fencepost column at the center instead of full blocks in a 3x3 stairwell as well. This provides the same fall protection while reducing the claustrophobia feel, and makes navigating a little easier as well.
This is how JamziBoy did his stairwells over a decade ago and how I still do them to this day! Glad to see someone else using it in their builds!
Off topic - over the last year or so I took a step back from my medieval roleplay realm and started making older “legacy builds” historical sights and ended up going on this fun journey of research finding a bunch of books on castles and that was one of the first things pointed out in several books, about attackers being at a disadvantage when attempting to siege a castle. So awesome to see historical references in your video 👍
Fun fact - that’s the same reason roads on the other side of the world are “backwards” to us, when crossing paths with other travelers you would draw your sword before hand, unless you were left handed, then you would be at a disadvantage 😅
Thanks! That’s cool, hadn’t heard that about roads before.
An amazing video, concise and clear. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
You can use stairs. Its easier in an enclosed space, like 3x3 shafts i did for strip mining. The slabs do look and feel cleaner for builds. Great video
This is so helpful! Thanks mate
This will definitely help me with building second and more levels houses in survival instead of struggling!
Glad I could help!
What a great tutorial!!! Thank you!
I have one question! In the last example you built, how would you go about adding a railing to a two block wide staircase? I'm having problems with the corners because you can't put two trap doors in the same block.
You have such great tips, you deserve much more subscribers! Thank you for this video! 😊
Thank you!
This was a very helpful video!
I'm very happy to have found a guide on how to build something practical in a way that looks appealing.
Glad you like it!
very informative . thank you
Minecraftian dudieboy I would like to thank you for this idea. I has made traveling up and down my strip mines much much faster VS having to create a ton of stairs to go up and down.. again
It's how I already did staircases but it's cool how you explained stuff I never really though about. Also, I sometimes made the mistake of starting my staircase _next_ to the pillar rather than on the lower left corner do sometimes I had bad staircases and I didn't really realise why because I wasn't thinking about it. (but I do like the Norman style staircase, I might start doing that.)
I did not expect this to be so thorough
This was awesome! it felt like I was being taught by a master at his profession.
Bro this kind of quality deserves more recognition. Subbed immediately ❤
Thanks!
Changed my life.. what an uplifting experiance
Huh... I think I'll make use of this instead of relying on ladders. It looks cool and seems practical. Thanks, simple and very easy to understand without goin overboard on certain aspects. Even got learn a bit more about castles.
This was so helpful, I never really got slab staircases, thank you sir.
Thank YOU!
Damn, this is so smart... Thank you for the video
The 7x7 circular tower was EXACTLY what I was trying to build but I didn't know it. Thank you!!
Glad to help!
This has just inspired me to creat a house where this kind of spiral staircase is the center and i have rooms to the left front right and back at different levels. Thanks.
Awesome!
Three thumbs up! Great video. Thanks!
Great video bro, very detailed explanation and mentioning small tricks to help evade some mistakes, in general very good video keep it up !
Thanks! Will do
On round staircases, I usually add an extra slab to the middle step, like a little propeller. I find having that diagonal makes the steps feel smoother and more even.

This is a very helpful video! Stairs are something that can completely ruin your builds if not built properly.
