Crazy Minecraft Build – Mind-Blowing Tangled Tower!

Hey guys welcome back to let’s build and this is the second part of a two-parter weekend yesterday was Erebor but today we are going to be building the tower from Tangled that’s right the Disney movie Tangled and the tower the Rapunzel’s trapped in at the start of

The movie right so to start with I wanted a nice lush green square to build on so I set this biome here because Normal grass is too dark I wanted like a jungle colored grass so I set this biome to Jungle but the problem that left me

With was a bunch of cats running around so I just kind of had to ignore them for the time being and cracked on with the brush tool plonking down some spheres of stone thank you now if you know the tower I’m thinking of then you’ll realize that

It’s on top of a kind of like a small hill in the middle of a kind of a deep kind of Ravine there’s walls to the left to the right to the back to the front there’s Cliffs all around this Tower it’s kind of like a natural landscape

Prison Rapunzel is kind of held in so what I wanted to do first was to plunk down these Stone spheres to put the tower on and then once I had the Rough Side of the tower planned out I could then set the canyon to be the

Right size according to the scale of the Tower so I mapped out the circle for the base of the tower here using sandstone and once I was happy with the size I came around the edge and started to plonk down the outer walls now I was just using Stone spheres to

Make the cliffs for the landscape and they do create these massive looming Shadows which are kind of quite uh quite iconic so basically using the world edit brush tool I went around the edge just building upwards these huge sticks of stone spheres all right patching up the holes in the cliffs here

And there where I made them now this did take me out actually quite a long time to get the cliffs done not just because all I was doing was pumping Down Stone spheres either the problem is with spheres they look spherical you can see that I’ve basically just used spheres and it looks

Kind of obvious and unnatural so once I was finished with all these Stone spheres for the cliff edges I had to run around with the smooth tool and just smooth out the edges to these mountains to the sides of these Cliffs just to make sure it looks more natural and more believable

Now I also used a smooth tool around the base as well to make sure the grass climbed slowly up the sides of the mountains and the cliffs Oh now you can see here that lush green the problem was with with the kind of main planes biome the grasses are kind of dull dark green but I needed Vivid colors because the movie itself is quite a vivid kind of Masterpiece so I needed the green that was you know quite

Luminous and and this kind of ticked all the boxes for me And again just coming around the edge of the cliffs with the smooth tool making sure the cliffs look nice and uneven and natural foreign now I didn’t finish up the cliffs completely I just built basically a horseshoe and I’d come around to the front of the canyon once I was closer to finishing

But for the time being I just smoothed up the last few Cliff faces and set to work building the waterfall because there’s a waterfall that comes into this Canyon right at the back and the right of it but when I first put some water down it

Kind of drifted all the way across the cliffs and it looked too thick it looked like a big torrent it looks like a massive River kind of gushing out over the mountains and what I wanted was more like a small stream so I dunk canal with a sphere tool set

To air boarded it with a little bit of stone and put the stream back in making sure it’s stuck to the Canali dug then once the stream was complete I’d come back to the lake or the pond at the bottom of it later I came around to the

Side of this kind of platform where the tower is going to be and I gave it a kind of curve towards the Cliff face just again using Stone spheres and smoothing them with the smooth tool pocket down a region of stone there to get a bit more complete coverage and

Then I started to dig out what would be the lake the kind of it’s not really a lake it’s not really a pond it’s like halfway between a pond and a lake it’s like a very large pond underneath the waterfall and then I dug a kind of snaky River out

Towards the entrance to the canyon I then smooth the sides of this River added some dirt to the side of this Stone platform smooth that to and then it was time to fill up the lake with a little bit of water and there we are looking more natural already

So I came around to the stone platform again threw down some more dirt and then again smoothed it off using smaller spheres this time and then I turned pretty much all of the stone into dirt now it’s looking a bit ugly at the moment it’s looking a bit Brown and dull

So what I used was the green command to turn all the dirt into grass and then again using the same command over at the dirt on the left to Green that at a later point and then it was time to put down some bone meal as well because this post

Looks a bit plain and so what you can do is you put down bone meal and it just flushes out an area kind of just adds detail and picks out the edges then once was pretty much happy with the landscape I came around to the tower

Itself now I did do a lot of messing around with this Tower to start with I wanted the size that I mapped out so I just began to build up for about five or six squares five or six blocks and then I went one block inside for a smaller cylinder

And the idea was to have it kind of like fat at the bottom but then get thinner in the middle and then Branch out back again and bulb at the top and I wasn’t quite sure on the size of this cylinder because it felt a bit too

Thick it felt a bit too fat but I kept building up anyway and again went in one block more to make the cylinder even thinner and began to build up again and now with this the final layer of the cylinder there was only one thing left

To do I pointed my Crosshair at the ground and just slowly began to build up now I’m not sure exactly how high I was going to go with this Tower because I didn’t want it to be too high you got to remember that the clips on the outside I

Can’t have the tower top peeking over it it’s quite a small Tower compared to the size of the canyon and that was when I realized that hang on a sec I thought this Tower was actually a little bit too thick but to make it thinner there was only

One thing I could do and that was fill in the cylinder itself with sandstone and once I completely filled the cylinder with Sandstone I could slowly start to Shear away the edges and basically trim the radius trim the diameter of this cylinder down a bit to

Make the tower a bit thinner and a bit more sleek coming around to the base at first and slowly staggering it upwards giving it a bit of a curve Now you’ve got to be careful when you do detail like this you can end up making the cylinder look a bit more Square than you’d like to and that was the case here it was looking a little bit too Square but it didn’t matter because at this point I was pretty much sure

That I was going to have to actually clip the tower down even more so what I did is I went to the top of the tower measured out a smaller Circle And then again came down to the sides and began to trim away using world edit but the size of this Tower to make it a smaller cylinder And once I had a cylinder I was happy with the size of again I came back down to the base and just made it a little bit fatter using sandstone and Sandstone stairs to give it a bit more of a solid base But again the tower does need a little bit of a curve at the bottom so I came down and added a few bits of detail that will make it look slightly curved then once I was happy with the tower itself I started to build the top of the

Town now if you remember the pictures or if you remember back to the movie the tower has a kind of like bulb top with a kind of curved peaked root so the first thing I got to work with was the dark wood here you see picking out the detail

Of the first Tower section And like I said the tower bulbs out so I just made this kind of wooden Circle larger than the smaller Circle larger than the cylinder itself larger than the tower itself and just kept running around building the framework of this Tower at the edges the structure of the tower out of this

Dark wood and what I do is I’d fill in later the Middle with sandstone foreign s here and there using wooden steps and then like I said tinkering with the middle filling in the Middle with Sandstone to give it that kind of a little bit of depth

And keeping it true to the movie and here you can see the bottom of the tower that detail kind of picked out with the supporting kind of wooden pylons holding up a larger outer ring of dark wood Now it’s time to build the bulb itself so I built up with Sandstone bricks about five or so blocks and then I began to build one of the window sections because the way this Tower is built is that one of the sides has a kind of balcony that leans out

With a with a kind of sticking out section and that’s what this is here kind of toying around with wood getting it looking right for the balcony section of the Tower Now this isn’t red nether brick what I’ve actually done is I had I went into the texture pack and modified the red nether brick to be a bit more purple just like the tiles in the tower in tangle and then I slowly began to build up this kind of curved peaked roof starting

Shallow and then getting steep about halfway in Using a mixture of the nether brick blocks nether brick steps and leather brick slabs And there we go you can see the completed rooftop almost complete at least I had to come around the edge and add a few half blocks and also had to do the spike on the roof the spike on the roof is kind of like I used Cobblestone

Fences to get the spike and I think a green wool block to get the kind of weird green ball that’s impaled on the spike at the top of the tower now with the roof complete I came around the sides and started the toy around with the windows there’s a lot of

Windows at the top of this Tower so I threw those in using again the dark wood and the dark wooden steps but one important thing about the windows is they have a kind of a very kind of reflective glass texture on them and the glass texture in this texture

Pack is just pretty much purely see-through so to get the effect I wanted what I decided to use was ice and you’ll see and you’ll see in a second just how that turned out but also I needed some windows at the corner sections here so using dark wood again I kind of mapped

Out a few simple windows at the corners of the Tower And here you can see the ice going in and check it out doesn’t it look like a pretty cool kind of glass substitute it’s light it’s cool blue and it’s pretty see-through but it’s got a very reflective Sheen to it and that’s exactly what I was looking for from the

Windows of this Tower now the tower isn’t just a pure Tower it’s got a lot more to it than just Sandstone so what I did was I toyed around with the detail again got it looking a bit thinner in the middle made it look like a bit more of a kind of

Sloped Tower a bit more of a curved Tower and then I came around the top with oak leaves because the tower itself is kind of coated in kind of moss and Vines and so to get it looking like that I could have came around the edge with all

Kinds of leaves I used Birch Spruce jungle and Oak to kind of get a mixed effective jumbled effect on how the leaves looked and just snaked around the tower building up these these kind of green Hedges and foliage around the side of the tower to make it look a bit more forgotten

A bit more mysterious and a bit more Tangled And the towel wasn’t the only thing I used oak leaves on because the valley itself is kind of a very dense kind of it’s got a lot of foliage in it it’s a very kind of dense natural rural area so what I did was I came around the edge of

The tower here adding in some of the key unique trees Like this tree that overlooks the river here leans out over the river making this artificially of course with wooden logs oak logs and oak leaves then throwing down a few random trees here and there but also putting down just some raw oak leaves to identify to

Bring up the density of the foliage on the ground and choosing the other side of the river as well and bone meal is something that I’ll come across again with and cover the right bank with and I made a slight mistake here I was using the paintbrush command to put down

Hedges but unfortunately when you put down oak leaves with a brush command they’ll just vanish sometime later as if they’re on a tree that’s decaying so I had to come back and do those manually much later but for the time being I was just putting down some dirt

On the side of the mountain to have the grass climb slowly up the side of the eclipse then with a few more Hedges on the ground and a few more bone Mill patches put down we were done with our Tangled tower check it out this is the tower from

Tangled to where Rapunzel’s held captive by the evil witch and I can’t say any more because spoilers but if you haven’t seen the movie check it out because it’s awesome it’s been a great pleasure to do this kind of as a build because this tower has always been one of my favorite

Structures of anything anywhere I mean I’ve always loved how it looked inside the canyon and I’m not sure I quite captured it but I did the best I could inside Minecraft that’s for sure That’s it from let’s build this double whammy weekend I’ve been stint and if you enjoyed it hit like and favorite And subscribe but until next time take care
