Grian – Minecraft Build School – Paths!

Hello my name is green and today i’m back with another episode of build school this time i’m going to be going over something that people have been asking of me for a little while now which is pathways they’re extremely easy to do but if you didn’t know the

Techniques maybe you wouldn’t know how to do them quite right so the first one we’re going to do is a very simple sort of dirt path with a few bits of texture so the first thing you need to do is just literally knock the grass out of

The ground but leave some of the blocks behind try and make it as random looking as possible next make your way along with some coarse dirt or gravel or cobblestone or a mixture of all three try and make something that looks rather nice and try and have a mixture of

Textures or you can just go for one if that’s what you fancy but on its own it’s rather dull so there’s a couple of things we can do adding just very simple fences either side or one side and the other completely up to you again is a

Really nice way of decorating a path this way because i’ve gone for a very separated textured path something like that with a very broken up kind of style is a nice way to take this and again you could do the same with cobble as a different variant of the style i

Personally like using these quite often but again if you want something a bit more city style you might want to try one of these so i’m just going to knock into the ground a layer where my path is going to be and decorate the sides with some cobblestone staircase but again you

Could use any color you want and then i recommend that you put a half slab in between them and you have a built-in nice simple path you can decorate these with some very nice lamp posts using the cobblestone blocks and then a sea lantern on the top but i also recommend

That you change the half slab from the staircase itself so you have a bit of texture difference there and i think that looks quite nice for a more modern street however you might want to change up your block type secondly you could do exactly the same

Thing but have a full block instead of the other one so you have these gutters on the side that almost look like curbs or if you alternatively wanted to have one above ground you could do the same thing one block above and it looks not

As nice in my opinion but it’s all down to what people want lastly we can make these really detailed patterned paths and then you can stack them using world edit or replicate it loads of times over and have a nice detailed path that continues on like so

Very easy to do as long as you’ve got the base profile down to stack or to replicate and on this one i’m going to talk to you about how to make curved paths as you can see the first inner circle is much easier to make than the

Second i recommend that you do this on the inner circle you run your cobblestone staircase around it and then you make sure you have exactly the correct distance and then replicate it on the other side that way you can make sure that it is consistent throughout the curve

Next i want to talk to you about going up hills because obviously i’m on a flat world right now and you will be working on hills most of the time so there’s a very easy solution you just get half slab and it makes it a nice easy path you don’t

Have to jump on very very simple and you can do the same with the more modern paths and if you wanted to make one diagonal i recommend that you do something like this you just need to make it perfectly diagonal but anything in minecraft that does go diagonal does

Look really spiky so i’m not sure i recommend this one in general and so as i said earlier very easy to do add some half slabs along your paths and it just makes it a much smoother journey on this one it’s very easy to do a

Curved path but you need to make sure you have the correct width on this one you need to make sure that you have a nice pattern that you can replicate over and over again and for these ones these are the nice variations in paths that you can do but

I recommend that you change up your palette i have obviously only been using the gray blocks and then finally probably my favorite and most commonly used path is just the simple decorative texture path and that’s all i wanted to show you for this very short video on paths

It’s very easy to do as you can tell all the techniques are all about what kind of colors you’re using the shape and the pattern and you can replicate it over and over again and decide how you’re going to go from there it’s very very easy to do and this video has been

Rather short today i do apologize for that i have been extraordinarily busy in the run-up to christmas because i’m now going to announce that the update for my server wincraft which is also my other job i do have two jobs now youtube and wincraft the update is out it’s called

Gavel and i really recommend you check it out it’s been highly successful already lots of people have already given us some fantastic feedback there’s still a few bugs to iron out but overall it’s gone very smoothly and i’m very happy with the product i haven’t really mentioned windcraft too much in the end

Of my videos because i have been working so hard on this update and i wanted to wait until it was done before i could expose you guys to it so i hope that you check it out and i would love to hear some feedback as well it’s very very important to me

And if you like this video i’d love some feedback on that if you have any more suggestions for videos leave them in the comments below thank you very much for watching guys goodbye
