25+ Build Ideas to make your Minecraft Survival World Better

Building Minecraft is pretty much just putting some blocks together but making your Minecraft world look amazing and pop is something completely different today I’m giving you 25 or more build ideas for your Minecraft survival world that will increase the quality of both the aesthetic and the law of Your World

Which means I hope it will make it look loads better let’s get on with it and if Summit in this video inspires you do let me know in the comments below I’d love to hear from you and the first thing I’m going to talk to you about is paths now

Pathways are not just a way to get from one place to another well I suppose they kind of are but they don’t have to look rubbish but they can be anything from the odd pathway block with a bit of coarse dirt so something far more complex but what I think is really

Important is a path Being Fit for purpose so my first really big idea is path transitions so I’m out in the Wilds of my world the pathways are going to be almost non-existent I’ve got just the odd path block a little bit of course dirt every here and there but as I start

To to get into a little bit of civilization I bring in more path blocks so we transition from a few path blocks into just a few more and with the odd little bit of packed mud because let’s face it pack mud is just dirt that’s stuck together we’ve got a little step

Here coming up with some mud bricks and then we bring in a little bit of gravel as we move into a little bit more of a civilized area that gravel brings another level of color however we still live in some dirt we’re still living in some grass we’re still living in plenty

Of path blocks but then I bring in some mud Brick we’re transitioning again but you’ll notice I’ve also brought in a few little fences as well obviously this is getting close to some kind of habitation and now there’s Stone we’re bringing in a little bit more Stone more gravel the

Path is getting gradually more and more Stony and more gray and less and less muddy we’ve also brought in some other little bits that I want to talk about in just a moment in comes some other brick blocks and we’ve got some moss in there

As well just to give it a little bit of character then we’re turning from these fences that we had before into some walls and then we’ve got another path that turns into a proper Road this is made exclusively of stone brick variants Cobble stone bricks Stone gravel that

Kind of thing so you can see your pathway should match what it’s being used for if it’s coming into some kind of civilized area a town a village you need to change it up from just a few little path blocks you need to make it fit that is a seven stage path

Transition I think it works beautifully from coming out from the Wilderness into a town although every single stage deserves some bushes you can never have too many bushes now I mentioned it a few seconds ago but bringing in a bit of lore to your build is a good idea this

Milestone saying how far it is to the next town is always a really good plan any little points of interest like this always add to the Aesthetics of your world and when you get closer to a settlement you’re going to want to get some lamp posts especially inside the

Settlement this is a really wooden rustic one we’ve got a wood block there with a a stone wall we’ve got a fence four trap doors with a slab of wood there and four lamps really easy to do and you can repeat that with very few resources and then this one here is a

Little bit more Stoney perhaps a little bit more at home inside or just outside a settlement a block of stone brick with some buttons on it wall fence and wall again but at the top there we’ve got Hopper making the connection we’ve got a slab on the top and we’ve got four of

Those trapdoors making sure that it doesn’t show the hopper too much but one of them is flapped up with a little Lantern on it to add some points of interest along your country roads bring in some abandoned campsites this one has got a fire pit three of the four logs

Are still there but the fourth one is completely burnt down into a cold block we’ve got logs that they sat on whilst they’re around the fire in the night time we’ve got barrels we have got a tent with a sleeping bag still inside it I wonder if these guys got chased off by

Mobs these are really quite simple to put together it’s a little bit of a path going around a few stone blocks putting some campfires are extinguished stick in a cauldron flap some trap doors over it put in a composter some bushes and Bob’s your uncle you’ve got yourself an

Abandoned campsite custom trees are also a great way of getting some life into your landscape they look so much better than normal trees and I’ve got four different options for you to choose from the first one’s really simple oak logs a few Spruce stairs in the old Spruce

Fence post as well once you’ve got the fence post in at the top make sure that you put leaves around all of those fence posts that will give you a really interesting asymmetrical shape and that symmetry is further broken by having these lanterns on different length chains which gives it a much more

Natural look the second custom tree is more like a willow tree with these fingers dropping down from the canopy however it is still very very similar however we’ve also added a few trap doors Spruce trap doors in a few places just to give a little bit more texture

To that bark I have also put a water bucket underneath the trunk of the tree which has allowed me to irrigate all around it and put in a little bit of wheat it just gives a little bit more color more structure at the top means we

Can have a bigger canopy and I’ve also put these flowering azalea leaves in there as well to give it some extra color and a bit more texture the custom spruce tree is nothing more than Spruce log going up in a straight line with some logs coming off just one block

Underneath and some Spruce fence posts I’ve also put in some stairs and some trap doors at the bottom just to give the foot of the tree a slightly bigger feel but then it goes up in a standard Diamond you can see I’ve just placed leaves around in a diamond circle shape

At the bottom put up a level ever so slightly smaller left the Gap and then come up a smaller level left the Gap smaller level and so on and so forth until we get to the top and it actually makes for a really gorgeous looking pine

Tree and then finally we’ve got a poplar tree that is just a fence post going up in a straight line about nine posts coming out just one level here and then putting leaves all around each side it needs to be fairly straight up and down

You don’t want to be too fat at the bottom otherwise it will look uneven populous a very straight and thin maybe add some history off of your path here we’ve got an overturned cart made of Simply trap doors nothing more these trap doors are resting on the ground

These trap doors here are flapped up to form the base of the car and also these Oak trap doors give a nice wheel effect all these bits and pieces have just fallen out the carp and it just looks like it’s been abandoned any little detail like that just adds more to your

World’s Story another great idea is to make natural cave entrances look like they’ve been exploited by Miners And yet ever so slightly overgrown that they’ve not been used recently inside here I’ve got some support beams just made out of oak logs I’ve put some trapdoors on the

Roof so as it looks like that’s been lined up I put in some smelting area here with furnaces and blast furnaces a little bit of crafting and plenty of storage but with barrels so as I can embed them into the wall you can create different looks using these leaves these

Steps and also different types of block we’ve got and site we’ve got Cobble we’ve got Stone here I’ve kept away from stone brick because that’s more man-made this looks like it’s been excavated out of the mountain as we go down I’ve placed in some coarse dirt put some

Ferns on there so as it looks like it’s been overgrown I’ve left some of the oars in the walls because it makes it a little bit more interesting we’ve got some water and also some wheat planted up there for some different color I’ve lit it up but not too much so it still

Looks like it’s a cave and at the bottom we’ve got a ladder going into this natural cave here ponds and water features also make a massive difference to your world not just in your base or the surrounding area but out in the wilderness as well this one is literally

Just a hole in the ground I’ve lined it with coarse dirt and some gravel I’ve put in some bone meals some seed pickles and also some lily pads although you don’t have to put the sea pickles in that’s just an extra little bit of light you could put some light around it these

Fences here with some lamps on have got plenty of light to stop anything spawning inside it I have however used the water from this Pond to irrigate some Farmland so as I can grab some wheat again it gives a much different color and makes it a lot more

Interesting as do these Haystacks and when you combine the yellow from the haystack the Green from the bushes the blue from the pond and the brown from those fence posts with a little bit of light it makes for something really interesting that would work in your base

Or literally anywhere in your world as you’re traveling around in it and you can do a much larger Pond as well this one is surrounded by Stone and dirt blocks and is a much bigger hole it’s still lined up with gravel coaster but this time I’ve also put in some slabs

And some steps just to soften up those edges because it is a much bigger hole this one is decorated up not with wheat like the last one won’t build flowers and also some sugar cane I put some ball rushes here using some green glass and some brown candles on the top that work

Absolutely perfectly for that and we’ve also got a bit of a waterfall a natural water source coming out of that block at the top off of this naturally formed rock well I say natural it’s natural after I’ve built it which brings me to something else you might want to

Consider Rocky outcrops I know it doesn’t sound quite right but trust me these things make a huge difference to your world if you look around Moors and planes in the real world it’s not just grass you’ve got rocks sticking out of the ground as well and I’ve got four

Different designs you might want to think about this first one’s quite small we’ve got some steps we’ve got some slabs and we’ve got a couple of blocks there’s literally very little to it but as a result it’s given an extra feature on the landscape that draws your eye

This one’s much bigger and Incorporated in a little bit of coarse dirt so as it doesn’t grow grass over it and put some grass on top of it that I got with some shears it’s exactly the same stairs slabs blocks using andesite Cobblestone and stone do avoid stone bricks for

These because they’re man-made and these are natural rocks the third one has been adjusted a little with some man-made fences we’ve lit it up and it’s a bit overgrown with some more bushes however again it is just slabs Cobblestone stone and a site and a few steps but what you

Gotta remember is that you don’t just get rocks in the middle of fields you get lots of rocks on the shore so our fourth Rocky outcrop is this Rocky sure it’s still structured in the same way Cobblestone Stone and the site slabs and steps this time however I’ve used a

Little bit of the mossy cobblestone as well just to give that as if it’s got some moss and some weed stuck onto the Rocks I’ve waterlogged a few steps in there so as we’ve got some rock pools and I think the texture works really well if you were to lay this all along

The shore you’d have a very very natural looking jawline I’ve added some bushes so as it looks even more natural but we have put some lights on it too that way when you’re coming in on a boat you’ll be able to see the shore wait a minute

Did I just say boat what a transition that was to the boats I’ve got three boats to show you really simple designs however don’t get too excited this one is an oak boat it’s just a small shipping boat it’s got a sale on it it’s

Got a mast it’s got a light on top of the Mask this is just literally made out of some fence posts and some wool I’ll put a button at each end so as it looks like it’s rolled around a post we’ve got some trap doors in here so we can load

And unload as necessary and lights at both ends so it knows where it’s going next up we’ve got a tiny little Spruce Tri rim and this one’s got a sail that is made out of banners which I think works quite well actually we’ve got two

Lights at the top so people can see it but this is literally just a load of trapdoors around a single row of blocks with some stairs at the front and at the back so it makes for a great little bow just for a small one-man band we’ve got

Some Rudders underneath it so as it doesn’t tip over and then we’ve got a much larger Traders vessel here storing its oars its barrels and even a barrel of water there in that one it’s much wider it’s going to have a lot more to store and as a result it’s got two sails

The front sail again made out of banners I’ve put more banners to make the cell slightly larger but it is still just a mast made out of fence posts with a light on top and then we’ve got our larger cell it’s failed there at the bottom I know sometimes you can throw

This out at the top I don’t care I filled mine at the bottom buttons there to represent how it’s been held place and at the top we’ve got a flag top of the Mast this Mast is a lot more sturdy some strip Spruce there going all the

Way up to the top until we’ve got our flagpole there and it’s spread out sideways using more fence post just to give a little bit of rigging for that sail to be able to crawl up so Harbors rivers lakes or even the Open Sea you

Can do all kinds of boats and it gives a lot more life to your world let’s look at two other ways to use water now a fountain and a well now fountains don’t always have to be in a town center but often that’s exactly where you’ll find

Them this one is literally a tower of stone walls with a little End Rod at the top just to give a little bit of light I’ve then put in some steps and some slabs to make sure that this water here is kept in this very specific shape that

Goes down into this holding area at the bottom we’ve got dryness in there with those slabs too the water’s being held in place but we do have light going up that water trimmed with stone brick it’s really really simple and you could change the palette for pretty much any

Block quartz works really well well for this type of build and as for complexity make it more flexible put in more water sources putting more slabs and stairs to make sure that you’ve got the water going exactly where you want it to welds can be a lot more simple this is just a

Three by three Square here I’ve got some crack stone brick some upside down Stone stairs and then we’ve got a wall a fence post and a wall going up to a diamond-shaped roof I’ve suspended a quadrant which has got water in it buy a chain over a hole that is

Fairly deep don’t fall down it you won’t be able to get out and a light just on one side to add to some asymmetry again too much symmetry in the world is a bad thing a little bit is great but if you make everything symmetrical it just

Looks odd and speaking of walls yeah I know I wasn’t speaking of walls but I had to get into my wall somehow didn’t I we have got this stone wall and all this is is steps slabs and Blocks place so they are two blocks high which means

That they can’t be attacked by all that one’s not though but I missed one can’t be attacked by mobs mobs can’t get over them so they’re quite good just to roam around the countryside literally going uphill downdale it makes for quite a nice texture if you mix in a little bit

Of cobblestone a little bit of undersight and a little bit of stone and this time because obviously it is man-made you could also put some stone brick in there as well but you can make these all kinds of interesting shapes and sizes you can make them taller you

Can make them wider they work really really well just to separate areas in your world and if you don’t like Stone what about a palisade all of Palisades is really is a load of wooden logs up ended and sticking up out of the ground don’t do them in a straight line because

They won’t look so good make sure you go in and out so you’ve got a little bit of depth and texture there strip some of them don’t strip all of them put a button on them but put the button the same number of blocks from the top on

Each and every one so the buttons go up and down this one is on the second block from the top on every one of these things and we’ve got walls and fences kind of scattered across the top with lighting you don’t have to add the

Lighting if you don’t want to and at the bottom we’ve added some slabs and some steps just because these are rocks this isn’t just going to come straight out the ground it needs to have a little bit of structure and I think that works really really well obviously with a

Little bit of bushes and while strictly speaking this could probably have a video for themselves what’s really important to keep your Minecraft all looking fantastic are the walls around your structures and your bases so I’m going to show you six wall designs first up three in wood and this first section

Here and bear in mind any of these can be repeated for as long a wall as you like this one is pretty simple we’ve got some Oak struts we’ve got Spruce coming out to give some depth we’re using buttons we’ve also got a window I’m not using glass here I’m using fence posts

To give that kind of old-fashioned medieval rustic look and we’re using trapdoors as window shutters this one is super simple but when you build it up across a number of sections it looks absolutely fantastic for a large house this second section has got more detail I brought in a barrel between the two

Window seals and the window seals are now gray stone brick it just gives another dimension I think we’ve brought the overhang out ever so slightly more and we’ve Incorporated things like bushes to give it a little bit of a natural feel and this design could work

For an exterior wall of a building but also maybe a wall that goes around the village and then finally this has got a lot more depth we’ve used some composters in the struts here just to give a different type of texture two barrels not as barrels necessarily

Although you can use them as storage just to add some extra Dimension to the inside of those struts we’ve done an extra internal level so we’ve got a wall that is too thick behind there that gives even more depth to this build and this would definitely work as an

Exterior wall to a town I recommend that if you’re going to use it for a builder remember the building has to be quite big because you’ve got a very thick wall there but sometimes you need your walls to be Stone so here’s three stone wall options this is a really simple stone

Wall right here we’ve got normal stone brick with Mossy stone brick as well towards the bottom and as we go up we’ve got andesite and some Stone just to give a bit of a gradient this is really an internal wall I think we’ve got a barrel there for storage and then we’ve got

Across here we’ve got shelving that’s made out of these trap doors I really quite like the way that works you could put things on the trap doors as well if you want rather than put the lanterns on those posts perhaps you could put the lanterns on there or put in some pots

With some flowers if you wanted to or like that’s probably out of place on what’s probably an inside of a castle wall at the top we’ve crenellated it up with upside down steps and right by round steps to give that kind of indented effect and accrenalation continues right across the top the

Second one could actually be the external side of the first one we looked at we’ve got Vines growing down over the window we’ve got storage in barrels but really they just add a little bit more differentiation of color more than anything we’ve got a few lamps some on

Some posts summed on top of those barrels and then we brought in a little bit of cobblestone just to change up the way it looks because otherwise that stone brick is going to feel very flat and then finally we’ve got some additional detail this has got a two

Deep wall lots of extra depth so it needs to go on a much larger building I think this could be internal or external but perhaps lends itself to internal just a little more with a hanging down layout and using a chain we have also got a barrel and a cauldron there full

Of water the shutters are on the inside but the shutters could also be on the outside the window is three High rather than too high almost like an arrow slit there we brought in some black stone buttons just to change up the color just a little bit and we’ve got some carved

Stone brick in there as well again it gives a different texture and it’s much more pleasing to the eye incorporate a little bit of flat stone there in slabs and it just gives a really nice looking shape don’t underestimate the importance of the walls of your buildings and your

Structures because I’m telling you now I promise it will make a massive step change in your builds and it’s all very well me showing you these things in isolation but it’s when they all come together that really make an impact very recently I did a village transformation

Video and used a lot of these ideas inside that there’s a link to how I did this and also how to get the World download for it in the description below if you want to go and check it out but I incorporate a lot of the ideas that I’ve

Been talking about for the last few minutes like this path transformation that we’ve got here I come from the outside through the gate into the inside and we’ve changed up The Path block what I did here was I actually increase the amount of path rather than decreasing it

And then when I got further into the village I put a lot more gray into it again so we’ve got that transition at the side of the path I brought in some water feature we’ve got a harbor with boats out there floating ready to drop their Wares off and I place the Rocky

The outcrops along the edge just to show that it is not just a flat grass base there’s a number of custom trees which add a bit of character the Town Center has a fountain specifically designed for it but we did also put in a little well

And at the other end of the town we added more Rocky outcrop against this second Harbor with a crane again specifically designed for this build with lots of different wall designs as well that have got plenty of depth and whilst each thing in isolation is pretty

Good when it all comes together I have to say I’m pretty proud of what I made here but it all came down to just using a few little different details Rocky outcrops water features walls that type of thing just to give more character and to make it look more natural I really

Hope you got some great ideas out of this video that you can put into your survival world and don’t forget to let me know in the comments below if that’s true and perhaps even send me an image through my Discord through an Instagram or in Twitter you choose which way you

Want to do it I would really love to hear from you we’ll call that there until the next ideas video I’ll look forward to seeing you in the next one you take it easy now bye
