ibxtoycat – 30 Things You Should Build If You’re Bored In Minecraft

Hello i’m fbx toycat and these are the kelpies they’re a tourist attraction in falkirk scotland and these are the kelpies but built inside of minecraft xbox one edition this is something you might have seen publicly on 4j’s youtube channel and the building of this and the talent and skill that went into

It was part of what got some people their jobs at 4j i always love to see something unique and unexpected inside of minecraft and that’s why in today’s video i think it would give you a collection of different ideas for things that you could build in the game

If you want to do something more unique than just a cabin in the woods or a nice millionaire mansion but instead you want to do something unique that might be great for a resume even as indeed these kelpies were and let’s start with the first and most obvious example

And that is never portals this is something that will work in every world ever because i don’t care which platform you play on i don’t care if it’s created for survival you need to go to the nether sometimes so why not have a beautiful never portal so there are some really basic designs

You can go for i like this one for instance just kind of decorating the edge of the portal making it clear that’s a never portal but doing some stuff on top i also like designs like this a lot as you can see this bedrock player has made

A tower of never portals and i love the kind of skyscraper vibes that make it form mixed with function in a way that is beautiful there are so many things in between these two designs and of course in the entire of a spectrum of nether portals but just in

Case you think you know i’ve already got my never portal decorated because i go to the never so much then maybe you need a bridge but rather than j bridge in the overworld which you’ve probably seen a billion off what about a bridge for your never this is great for survival players

Because infrastructure is something you always need more of what if you could save 30 seconds every time you’re in your nether because you could cross the entire biome just like this i think this is really beautiful the way they’ve built it coming out the ceiling the way underneath it they’ve got all

These lanterns and just the design and the way it fits into the landscape it really is something quite beautiful also it shows the beauty of blackstone but like i’ve always said like a lot of the best never builds are going to involve blackstone and uh you know the fact seeing stuff like this

Really like i love seeing anything that’s built in the nether that will make your life easier whether that’s a glass tunnel whether that’s a never base anything that can make your life easier is a great thing to build and if you can make it pretty too what a

Great cherry on top speaking of cherry on top you know we spoke about the example of the kelpies which you might consider a scottish icon at the very least it’s iconic to the people that live there so wherever your proudest off whether that’s your town whether that’s your region whether that’s your country

Or maybe the entire planet okay let’s be honest it’s not the whole planet but if you’re proud of something donation make something about it build the flag of that country assuming of course you’re not from nepal where you’d have to make one of those weird triangle flags like what’s the

Deal with that am i right but most other countries have a nice rectangular flag you can even make one for north korea if you’re not proud of your country and you’d rather live there instead you can totally build their flag as well or maybe you know you’re really proud of

Something in your area you know these uh the people who live around the kelpies probably love seeing that in minecraft maybe you live in slough and you think to yourself you know what everyone’s always building the tower of london or they’re building big ben in minecraft but for instance if you’re british you

Recognize this cake wouldn’t you love to build it in the game and and let the world know about your caterpillar cake maybe you would maybe you wouldn’t or maybe you think you know what countries are bad they’re all going to crumble one day so build a landmark that you like you know

The egyptians might be gone i mean the the ancient egyptians they are still in egypt today just to clarify but they’re a little bit different than they were back then anyway so the egyptians have fallen but the pyramids have lasted a long time since everyone loves seeing pyramids in

Minecraft personally i like the brick pyramids of the og minecraft i mean aren’t aren’t these more interesting okay but getting that many bricks is kind of hard to do but if you can build a brick pyramid it’ll be pretty great but even if you don’t like your flowers things why not build

The parthenon that’s a real thing right ah yeah oh yeah everyone knows what this is they just don’t know the name if it is or maybe everyone else does and i’m dumb but build the parthenon it’s a beautiful ancient greek structure or build the colosseum build something that really historically uh represents

You i think the cool thing about colosseums too is you can also make people fight to the deaf in there or you know what build the eiffel tower or something big that represents anywhere you can totally do it or if you don’t like representing real world places you think toy cat you know

I play minecraft to escape the real world i don’t want to think about all the terrible things that are happening there i want to think about minecraft so obviously the first thing that comes to mind is build a map wall i love mapwell so much i have this giant 225

Map wall in my uh realm that i i really encourage anyone to do something like this seeing such a high resolution map is great but here’s the thing for the last few years you’ve been able to put maps in item frames on the ground and on the ceiling as well so why not

Have a map ceiling to your bedroom so you can look at it when you go to bed why not have a map table this is something i really have enjoyed uh seeing in different realms um basically i love the idea of mapping out your world it’s a fun little

Exercise in doing it that doesn’t revolve around building and grabbing blocks instead it’s about exploration so you can build something you can make something pretty by exploring your world isn’t that wonderful but maybe you don’t like that idea maybe you say no i want to have fun and exploring isn’t

Fun building isn’t fun and neither is mining well first of all i don’t know what game you’re playing but it doesn’t seem to be minecraft and second of all how about this a racing track but made for boats this is one i really love this this design uh from

Reddit is something that every time i look at i’m like yes i’m inspired i it gives me like mario kart vibes right so it’s um boating on ice it’s a little bit of some crazy antics happening which way do you take you have to work it out as you go

I just love the idea of designing one of these circuits but then it’d be really fun to grab a friend and play on it as well maybe you could have like bows in your books as well so it could be like power-ups and mario kart i’m just saying there are so many great

Ideas that come from this but maybe you say nah the racetrack isn’t enough and if you say that then you know what you clearly aren’t into fun so maybe what you prefer instead is uh nerdy stuff like me i am i i hate to admit this i i wish this

Wasn’t me but i really love seeing transport build inside of minecraft i love seeing trains or planes and this a380 it’s a lufthansa a380 just every time i see it i’m embarrassed to be clearly such an aviation nerd but i’m like oh yeah that’s a cool plane i want that in my world

I want to build something like that i’ve never built a plane successfully i’ve tried very badly many times in fact but uh you know like uh seeing something like this actually work it just kind of makes me go yeah that’s that’s truly inspiring speaking of truly inspiring it’s not just uh

Planes trains and automobiles that are interesting to people uh you can also take minecraft’s most beautiful structure that does it well i mean to be honest minecraft peaked building we we can’t build a structure it’s good of this but we’ve seen uh this reddit user right here

Tried to do a better job they turned their desert well into a desert oasis it is huge the way you can take your natural minecraft landscape and really expand on its beauty you know you can take this beautiful desert well and you know it’s it’s a 10 out of 10

And you can make it a you know 10.1 out of 10. let’s be honest it’s still a 10 out of 10. but um you know you can turn this 10 out of 10 into a bigger 10 out of 10 that’s wonderful taking any minecraft structure and expanding it or altering

It or making it better or worse if you really want to is something that’s so fun working within the confines the game itself gives you it’s something i really enjoy at least but maybe you don’t like uh that either you like you like things inside of minecraft

They can’t represent the real world they can’t represent anything minecraft related so the natural structures are out the same thing that’s out are these giant block versions of any structure i love having a chest room that’s made out of chests i love having a bed inside of a giant block house but you

Know these are off the table as well because you don’t like minecraft at least you don’t like iconography of minecraft you don’t like the real world you don’t like your country your city you don’t like building infrastructure across your world you don’t think that roads and bridges and tunnels and uh blue ice

Pathways are interesting uh so maybe what you do find interesting are things like this it’s a beautiful time intensive like i i really can’t stop thinking about how long this dragon took to make do you want to spend weeks of your life in creative working on the perfect

Uh dragon build so you can take a photo and everyone be like wow this roman 95 made an amazing thing in 2020. you know he he heard that people are locking themselves inside and he was like i’ve been doing this for three years already uh this is an incredible thing

Or maybe you say oh that’s a little too big like when i see a build this big i’m kind of uninspired so maybe instead you want to do something like just build a big sandwich you know you’re hungry you want a sandwich there’s no uh insert gender here in the

Vicinity and so how are you gonna get a sandwich you build one in minecraft i i don’t know why i just i just really like this uh it’s like a simple idea like sometimes in minecraft you can go complex and beautiful sometimes you can just go silly and this

Is a silly sandwich or maybe you go no no silly sandwiches either i want real i just don’t want and i want tributary i just want it to something else you know and in that case build a tribute to a game you like outside of minecraft one of the classic

Minecraft builds is like an 8-bit mario or something um but for instance in my let’s play world i built the floating island from wamps fortress um here is something i can’t legally call a triforce but you know it i built some yellow triangles because i really really really like a particular game in

A series i shall not name anyway so there’s there’s so many different versions of this you can do i’ve seen people build various levels from their favorite you know call of duty maps uh nuketown is something you see so many versions of inside of the minecraft um you see people building the zombies

Maps you see people building tributes to undertale honestly there is an endless list of things that you can build my my favorite example is just taking a location that you like again that location doesn’t have to be the real world um you know i showed off chernobyl being built in the build the

Earth minecraft project that’s a big project to take off by yourself instead take a video game level that you like or take a small location that you like like i i built my house inside of minecraft for a video and even though i was doing it sarcastically there’s just something

Satisfying about walking in and out of my house i i hate to say it i hate to admit that i i i i enjoy that because i was mocking the concept of building your own house in minecraft but like building a space that exists in the real world

Inside of minecraft is really fun and you don’t have to build it at scale obviously every block in minecraft represents a meter so if you wanted to do scale you could work it out like i did in that video or you could build it entirely not to scale

When you look at the 4j battle minigame maps it’s hard not to be inspired by the environments you know like it’s a ghost town and it’s a as an abandoned desert town like you know in the in the wild wild west there’s like some icy environments and

Uh you know there’s a jungle where you’re fighting for a temple but the one that really inspires me the most here is probably going to have to be shrunk shrunk is a room where you are a tiny little figure you’re the size of like a toy in toy story

And you’re running around this giant room and obviously that works as a pvp map or you could just make that your base in minecraft again there is nothing telling you what the scale needs to be some people have built giant millennium cruisers to scale in their minecraft world but you can also

Build again that if you look at this plane that i mentioned earlier this a380 is not to scale you don’t need you can focus and make the scale whatever you want it to be if you think it will make a good end result if you think you’ll make something that you’re interested in

Uh you know in terms of the building and will be proud of when you’re done the truth is minecraft is the game where there are so many options this video we’ve gone through this many build ideas so many that i lost count i’m relying on the editing showing that it’s

On screen but the reason that i’m going through so many and indeed so many more is because i think that it’s really important to talk about the fact that having you know like if you’re building for fun if you’re playing minecraft for fun it’s easy to get creative block it’s

Easy to think yeah actually i’m not i’m not sure what i am doing right now like it’s it’s easy to think in the moment i don’t know what to do because if you put people on the spot and you say hey don’t picture a giraffe the first thing you’re

Going to do is picture a giraffe if you if you tell someone like hey i really need this emergency thing a lot of people don’t respond well to a lot of pressure being put on the moment um but that’s why i think that every now and then it’s important to just check out

Some internet stuff like whether that involves going to r minecraft where a lot of these uh images are from whether that involves watching some minecraft youtube where a lot of these other things are from uh various videos of mine and indeed my let’s play world

Um but that you know like whatever it is seeing some inspiration out there in the world is something that is uh you know really healthy and that will give you a better time of minecraft i think minecraft is unlike other games because you know in the same way you might get better

At a first-person shooter by watching videos up on the internet um in in the same way that that’s true you don’t get more creative with a first person shoot by watching videos um but that’s something that you can get with minecraft you will learn different ways to play the

Game by looking at various pieces of internet content all over the place and minecraft is a game that it’s hard not to find everywhere i mean i was on the community subreddit and i saw that someone built the entire you know library that they use for most of the the shots there i

I think that’s crazy i think all of these uh tributes to things that people like i think all of these builds that people are making they’re the most shareable examples but there’s so many more why not make a biome that’s filled with carrots why not make

A biome that’s just a desert covered in obsidian and you get where we’re going with this there is so many uh different things you can do the only important thing is that you enjoy doing it because you know minecraft is the game where no one can

Tell you what you can and cannot build and that includes me thank you for watching this video i hope it inspired you in some way if it did let me know which these builds was your favorite in the comments i’d i’d be very curious uh which which

Of these was the most inspirational so if there’s something you found this video that you’re going to be going ahead and building let me know in the comments down below also thank you for watching it obviously took a while to get all of these things together but i hope it was worthwhile

And i hope that you got something from it because i’ll see you all next time Goodbye You
