Let’s cut the chit chat and get right into seven quick tips for making wild west themed builds in minecraft one the badlands is best in my humble opinion there is no better biome for this kind of theme than the badlands you could get away with doing a wild

West inspired build in a savannah a desert or even a plains if you really wanted to but let’s be real the badlands is like the wild west biome the old timey wild west aesthetic is known for rocky cliffs towering pillars of clay and sandstone wide open deserts and barren scraggly grasslands filled with

Rocks snakes and cacti like usual i recommend going through the internet for inspiration even while writing this script that you’re hearing right now i’ve been browsing search results for wild west western aesthetic and others to really nail down what makes the western theme great two bring in some stuff from the other

Biomes to make the badlands better the badlands is the best minecraft biome for wild west builds but it’s still lacking a couple things in particular cacti there really aren’t many cacti in the vanilla minecraft badlands try bringing in some cacti from the desert and see pickles from the warm

Oceans to add a little bit of succulent action to your surrounding environment path blocks glow lichen and rails can also look really nice path blocks are great for an old-timey footpath running through a town glow-liken looks like scraggly moth on the side of a sun-beaten rock and little bits of rails and your

Landscape can look like the remnants of an old train line that used to run through the area or an old mining quarry that got lost to time this in particular helps give your build a bit of history depth and character to it last but definitely not least

Horses you can’t have a wild west build without cowboys riding horses horses kept in stables or herding ranches of cattle bring over some horses from the plains or wherever else you can find them if you’re in survival then the best ways to transport mobs are either by boat or by

Minecart if you’re in creative mode then just spam that horse spawn egg until you’re happy three acquire tons of wood it’s the wild west everything is built out of wood with the exception of possibly a couple things built out of stone or terracotta you’re basically only going to be using wood for

Whipped up just now that pretty much only uses wood blocks there’s a saloon a horse stable and an old-timey general store as well as a couple other little details check it out Uh four build around a central road or pathway a staple of wild west media is the sort of like central main road where you have your shootouts and your duels and all those uh fun things try the same thing in minecraft your town is gonna feel a lot more

Westerny if you build around a large central path try making it out of path blocks with coarse dirt and wooden planks for detail another staple of old-timey western culture is the railroad town back in the day railroads were the only real way to connect people and ship goods over large distances

So it would make sense that little towns would pop up wherever the trains went remember the little western build i made earlier with the saloon i’ve added a quaint little railroad stop to it check it out Um Um Five trap doors literally just trap doors that is the entire tip right there that’s it i will never shut up about how cool and versatile trapdoors are in particular spruce dark oak and birch are my personal favorites i throw these things everywhere i am not kidding vertical trapdoors are great for making

Trapdoors in all kinds of wood builds and the wild west is no exception get creative with this amazing block and let your imagination run wild six learn some cool decoration tricks to add some amazing rustic detail hi let’s hop into a quick little montage of some of my favorite decorating hacks that

Fit very well in a western style put buttons at the ends of logs for a bit of depth and detail use extinguished campfires either as a floor or hanging over a window since the log texture is fantastic signs look like boarded up windows and support beams use scaffolding and stairs

To make a flimsy saloon table and chair banners can be used to make huge letters perfect for those old timey shops you see in the western movies you can use gates as saloon doors a cauldron underneath a chain looks like a bucket in a water well another very important block to use is

Gold the wild west and the frontier is often synonymous with the american gold rush from the mid-1800s gold is plentiful in the badlands biomes and if you’re building a mining town or building near a cave try throwing in some gold ore and nuggets there are definitely many many more cool western build hacks

Messy and dirty with coarse dirt and wood all over the place and let’s throw in some dead bushes as well your buildings can be dilapidated boarded up or a patchwork of different woods and textures maybe throw around some barrels and chests in unorganized piles as opposed to

Neat orderly rows which don’t really fit the vibe when i think wild west i think of dusty desert trails sun bleached wooden shacks and small dirty frontier towns and i know it’s hard to replicate that kind of look in minecraft but any sort of dirtying up or randomization
