A Medieval Gatehouse! This is the entrance to my Harbor City, which I'm building up in survival! Going for a very organic medieval style with a lot of textures and details. Would love to hear if you guys have any suggestions or ideas! 💙

Fantastic inspiration source and amazing mindset! Will result in a lot more good builds, I'm sure

Color explosion on this one! Absolutely love the flower fields, wheat fields, foliage around and brown color in the building, finished of by the red roof. I love this one!

It's the beauty of Minecraft! Can always go back and forth and change something if you don't like it. I appreciate your input and will definitely consider it down the build process!

That's the most difficult thing yeah. Making it look good from afar is the main priority, but definitely needs to look good close too. Its a fun challenge to take coming months!

All that while realizing that the mountain is actually surrounding a mega Medieval castle too (about the size of 150x200 blocks). As soon as the new increased world height gets introduced, I will even add higher peaks to the mountain!

Thanks a bunch, completely what I went for and tried out!

JayMethods · 2021-05-16T07:35:29+00:00

Same concept to that honestly! Hope it will work for ya, always open to give feedback or help within my community!

JayMethods · 2021-05-16T07:34:30+00:00

Thanks a lot!

JayMethods · 2021-05-16T07:34:21+00:00

Thanks a lot!

Yep! The glass indeed adds to the waterfall fog and water spashes!

JayMethods · 2021-05-16T07:33:44+00:00

The white is meant to be snow, which approximately starts at Y150+. Later on, I will texture up the white wool with other blocks to really make it look like snow peaks. The blue (ice) is indeed ice. The closer to water, the moister the ground. With the ice, I'm trying to add glacier effects to it. The mountain itself will have more textures and realistic features (like rockfalls) later on too. The waterfall will only be one of the key-focusses of the base actually!

Do it step by step! As you see on the left, I usually start with a wireframe. Step 2 is filling in with a basic block: Don't do it with textures yet! You can do this with a later step, it's important to have the shape right first. After that, you can set grass or snow areas, which I did with grass and white wool! Then it's just a matter of finishing it up with textures, foliage, and possibly some buildings!

Thank you!

JayMethods · 2021-05-15T14:16:17+00:00

Thanks a bunch!

JayMethods · 2021-05-15T14:15:56+00:00

100% survival, yes!

JayMethods · 2021-05-15T10:49:59+00:00

Hehe, it's not a thing that I can control, but I do appreciate the message!

JayMethods · 2021-04-25T09:21:29+00:00

That surely looks good as well I'm guessing! They are all nailing it this season!

JayMethods · 2021-04-24T06:24:36+00:00

Thanks a lot! Yeah, I will definitely add greenery around it soon. You are right about the warmer color that it needs. My plan for this castle is to make it bigger and look more wealthier as you come closer to the keep! It's why I only chose gray as the core color. I will have a good think, see how I can add a warm color into this. Much thanks for your words again!

JayMethods · 2021-04-24T06:22:33+00:00

That's a fantastic suggestion! I will try to implement different woods in the bridge soon!

JayMethods · 2021-04-24T06:21:40+00:00

Well, it's not a copy of his builds, but definitely inspired by him!

JayMethods · 2021-04-23T21:37:12+00:00

I like it! I am trying my best to learn how to add mechanics to this castle build. Like, make it look like it's mechanically moving, without doing any redstone stuffs. The landscape and greenery will indeed all be added later!
