HeyAmethystMay – How to Build a Frog! Learn 30 Different Minecraft Mods in 30 Days in 2023!

[Music] Hello, I have decided to start a new series, and it is 30 days of Minecraft Builds, and this is our first one right here. We’re going to be building a frog today. This is my very first-ever Minecraft tutorial, so it’s a little bit messy.

I’ve already learned some things to change and improve on for the next episode, and I hope you guys can bear with me. If you have any helpful hints and tips about how to film in a tutorial style, I’d appreciate that. Go ahead and leave them in the comments for me.

And then I did build all of this in creative, but I tried to build it in a way that a survival player would build, so very minimal floating and flying, so that hopefully our survival players can keep up and do it as well.

And yeah, I guess, without further ado, here’s the very, very first build of this new Minecraft series. So first off this is the color palette that we’re going to be working with here. And then you can see how many of each item we are you are gonna need.

I am hoping I got all of these counts right. I know there has got to be a better way to count these things than to do it like individually by hand, but that’s how I did it because I don’t know a better way to do it.

So I’m really hoping I got all of the correct quantities here for you. If not, again, let me know in the comments, and I will also post this list of materials needed in the description, so if somebody notices I’m missing something, I’ll update the list, I promise.

I probably also promise it won’t always be so scuffed. Bear with me; it’s my very first Minecraft tutorial, and you gotta start somewhere. And so this is what we have. You’ll see I did not use moss in here, so if you find any of these blocks are hard to

Get a hold of, you can always substitute out the moss block if you want to. It would probably substitute out pretty well for the green concrete powder. The texture would be very, very similar, just a little bit darker, but that is also an option

If you find any of these to be difficult to get a hold of because the moss blocks are fairly easy to get a hold of now. And let’s get started, so pause here; this is going to be your base outline.

And we’re going to be using sand, stripped birch wood (I’m using the full block and not like the stripped logs), smooth sandstone, stripped spruce wood, stripped dark oak, green concrete, lime terracotta, green concrete powder, green wool, green stained glass, lime stained glass, moss carpet, lime carpet, and green carpet.

And this is what they all look like together. We’re going to start this on the frog’s left-hand side foot, and we’re just going to start building from there. Hopefully, you guys can follow along. You’re welcome to pause if you need to. If you have questions, let me know.

I try not to jump around too much, but it was a struggle for me to learn how to do this in a way that I could—I like because I don’t have these schematics just like in my brain.

So I did have to go back and forth from this frog to the other frog to make sure I was showing you exactly how to do it just right. In this case, the blue terracotta is all going to come up; those are all going to be covered with the green glass there.

So I would suggest putting down something different like the grass that I put down or whatever your terrain is wherever you’re building. And then the yellow parts are going to be filled in with carpet, and then all of the

Magenta parts are going to be filled in with blocks, except in this one case right there; we’re going to end up putting a door there. So if you don’t want to put a door in, fill it in with the block, I would say, of your choice. It doesn’t matter too much Thank you.

Foreign View of that very first row, you can see I actually left out a toe on one side of this poor frog, so we won’t fix it; it’s just not in the overview like schematics. So a large majority of this build is symmetrical from side to side; there’s not a whole lot

Of difference. Once you get one half done, you can generally just look across the Frog and copy it on the other side as well. And here’s that first layer with the toes done. Look, it’s a little hard to see the Moss carpets, but there are Moss carpets down there.

And then the next layer. I do try to start each layer in the same area, always with the same side, so hopefully you’re not going back and forth as you’re building, which can be super difficult if you are in survival and maybe we end up being like 10 blocks in the air.

You don’t want to have to jump from section to section. Also, you’ll notice it’s getting dark. I did finally, by the second video, learn how to turn off the daytime, day-night cycle, and the weather, so I promise this is the only video where we’re gonna have issues with that. Thank you foreign Level and where all the blocks are placed on the second level. Oh, I did start on the other side that time. I’m sorry; I’m trying to be a little more mindful about making sure I start in the same corner every single time.

But so I started on the other end of the mouth for that, this section, this level. foreign I thought I might cut out all of these parts where I’m looking back and forth when I fly over to the other frog, or I just look up at the other frog to see what the silhouette is like. I’m thinking, you know, I’ve never seen another like professional Minecrafters do this.

Um, I still haven’t seen professional Minecrafters go back and forth looking at their original prototype and then showing us their build. But I don’t think it needs to necessarily be completely perfect to still be valuable. So here is this level, level three.

If you need to pause and get those blocks in place, you can do that. But I feel like tutorials don’t have to be completely perfect to still be valuable. And I’ve already told you guys this is the first time I will be doing Minecraft tutorials, and I’ve gotta learn somewhere.

This is just what ended up working for me, and I’m sure I can develop something different as I move forward. I hope you guys are okay with just being here and being part of the growth process. [Music] So, you will see, I do fill in on that third level, the legs of this frog. So, there’s some third level and fourth level building going on in this row right here. In this, like, I’m really bro, this clip, this section, I don’t know, whatever you want to call it, foreign. Just a little bit of a spritz there. And this is going to be the fourth row along with the filled in legs on the third row. foreign body here In this section right here you’re going to want to count in to that very middle piece of glass to put another piece of glass behind it. foreign

And I made a mistake there on the row below. I wanted to go ahead and put in a Green Glass, um, stained glass piece so that we have a little bit more light coming into the Frog as a building.

And this is the sixth row, so more body, and then we added that one little middle piece of stained glass, and now we’re going to be working on the eyes. I do like to be particular about how I place the wood so that the wood grain all goes in the same direction.

So if that’s something that bothers you or you like, just make sure you pay attention here on how you’re placing those. So, we are also filling in the body on this one, so more of the sixth row that we had done the outline for. There is some inner filling that we have to do here too, so we’re working on the seventh layer and the body fill in here. foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] So you will see, I do fill in on that third level, the legs of this frog.

There is some inner filling that we have to do here too, so we’re working on the seventh layer and the body fill in here. And this is the eighth layer right there, and we have our frog, and that’s it. That’s how you build the Frog.

I did go ahead and decorate the two frogs. So what I do is I actually build the first model on stream on my streaming account, and then I built the second model, uh, in a layer-by-layer, um, for tutorial’s sake.

So the second model is actually what you see me build in the tutorial, and then this is what I build on stream live while I try to figure out, like, the right color palettes and the right, um, like pixel substitutions and stuff.

You’re getting a little bit of a sneak peek of video two right now. But, um, I did decide to go ahead and decorate the insides of both builds to give you some ideas of things that you could do inside your builds.

I’m gonna, like, walk around like this, so hopefully, you don’t see anything else that’s going on back there. It’s just a little too hard to hide that beehive. So here’s the back of this frog, and we went ahead and turned this frog into a home, little

Sleeping area there, and a little sitting area, some storage space, a little cartoon photography table there, your enchantment table, a place to grow your Nether wart, and then right back here, we kind of hid a little Brewing, like maybe you’re hiding it, maybe you’re doing something a little suspicious and you’re Brewing.

So just a really small, like, starter base home, but it does have a good amount of storage, and you can always dig down from here and do more of, like, a basement underground and put like a dark oak trapdoor as your rug instead of carpet.

Okay, let’s get out of here, not look at anything else, and go over to this one. This one I went ahead and did like the whole outside. Let’s see how much can I do there we go and now you just see beehives you don’t see anything else.

I have learned now to maybe do all of my builds in that direction so that you don’t get a picture of another build from um any of the videos as I record because part of this is I am building daily and I’m filming daily and sometimes they overlap each other so it’s

It is what it is this is how it’s gonna work out. And so there’s our frog, and this one I decide to do is as a frog Sanctuary, so we’ve got a little bit of a walkway and a pretend Hill like if it was actually built in a wild world.

Oh, you just got another good look at what’s coming next. Okay, so something I did learn, I did try to do a gate two gates here for the frog. One, the frogs can get out of gates; they can go underneath Gates.

So if you’re gonna do something like this, you have to do a door or they will get out, which apparently they’ve gotten out. Give me two seconds. Okay, we’re back. Apparently, my frogs that I had originally spawned in here despawned, so now we’ve got

Some frogs, and I kind of gave them a little bit of a rock habitat in one corner, and then the glass is actually part of the Frog itself. It helps to give the shadowing underneath the Frog without it being solid blocks.

I mean, they’re still solid blocks, but it’s not quite as a harsh shadowing if you do it with glass like that. It still gives you the illusion of, like, their belly being up off of the Ground by having the glass here. And then they’ve got, like, a little Pond there.

Oh, I know it’s really funny in building these and having actual mobs in this world too for me to study and make sure I get, like, the pixels and things right. It’s really funny when they break out because all of a sudden I’ll be working on a beehive,

And a Frog comes out of nowhere, and it’s been really entertaining, that’s for sure. But that is gonna be it for this one. Thanks for hanging out with me, you guys, and let me know what you think.

Let me know what I can do to make this easier, especially for our survival players because I would like for this to be something that um survival players can do as well. Um, I can’t really help with, like, the block types.

Sometimes some of the blocks are going to be difficult to find blocks, but my goal is to make it so that the builds are possible in survival and not something that you have to fly around or have tons and tons of scaffolding to do.

So let me know how I did, and we’ll see you tomorrow with the next one. Bye. Thank you
