ImJustMelo – Floating Island//Minecraft Tutorial

Hey everyone it’s mello here and today i’m going to be recording a requested tutorial about how i build my islands my floating islands as this one back here i kind of just yeah i’m going to be showing you guys how to put something similar to that

So usually when i build islands i like to use certain types of blocks um and i’m going to show you guys some of the blocks that i do like to use these are some of the blocks that i like to use but you can choose any that you feel comfortable with using um

Today we’re going to go away from the blocks i use for that build and we’re going to use some different ones which we’re in 1.16 right now so we’re going to be using some of the cool new blocks um some of the new blocks include you know warped

Stuff and crimson but that’s not necessarily the types of blocks that i want to use so we’ll just be using like these you know these are classified as dirt so we’ll do some of those um this one has always been in the game but yeah so what i’m going to be using is

Let’s see we’ll grab some of each and see what we’re working with we’ll use stone of course most likely use diorite this time and yeah endocyte and cobblestone so these are blocks we’re going to be using out of those today um like i said you can use any block you want

But i personally just like using those blocks okay so we’re going to do is we’re going to build up into the sky first um i just built straight up usually what i do um we’re not necessarily going to use dirt first but this block i’m going to build up with

So you can go as high as you want as long as you don’t hit the border you know don’t go way up there it doesn’t really matter and what i do is i use stone first so what i do is kind of make a cone shaped i guess island based like you can

Do this anyway why it could be a flat island without any of this down here but i just don’t like my islands floating up in the sky like that because it looks very weird and i just don’t like it so what i do is i just kind of yeah you know

You can go any way you want if you want just depends i just sometimes do that um this usually comes down a little more it just depends um each side is gonna be different they don’t necessarily have to be the same just as long as they end at the same point

Which i’m pretty sure this does correct yes it does okay just as long as they end at the same point somewhat it doesn’t really matter um like i said these do not have to be even islands aren’t even like um islands in real life aren’t always even

Um i just feel islands look better if they all have a little bit of you know difference to them because not everyone’s the same everyone is different in their own way and that’s how i feel island should be so we’re just going to connect all these together like so

Boom already done see and what i do for this part is i kind of just fill in where i think it’s needed like sometime i just go straight up and then i add some blocks here you know um this doesn’t necessarily always just depends if you go big or small i’m

Just kind of going on a small island on this one the bigger islands take a lot more work and yeah you have to pay attention to the holes like in bigger islands because sometimes you can miss something when you’re filling it in but smaller islands i tend to go easy with

Um yeah so we’re just gonna quickly fill this in you don’t always have to fill this middle part in because it’s gonna be covered with grass or whatever you put but i just tend to cover it most of the time just so you don’t see all this in here

You know this isn’t really well needed to be seen so all right so this is most likely what you’ll have depending if you make a big or small island doesn’t have to look exactly like mine but you know you have fun and make yours unique next we’re just

Gonna add some coarse dirt or regular dirt it doesn’t really matter i’ll probably just incorporate both of them into this and you just fill in the top um you don’t necessarily have to put dirt but i just feel like it just makes it look nicer when you add dirt

Underneath before you put the grass or whatever you put on top so yeah i’m just going to quickly fill this in there you go now we have this and i’m just going to use some of the coister you can kind of tell the difference of course dirt and then sometimes you can’t but

You can see like of course there is a lot darker than regular dirt so we’ll just put like a few in some places just to give it some niceness to it um yeah this looks pretty nice so far all right there we go oops there you go

All right so we added some coarse dirt in there so this is what it should look like if you guys are following this tutorial um next we’re going to add some dirt so i’m going to be using some of the new like colored dirt that you get in one point

16 some of them dirt from another i’m not too sure yeah it works um so if you’re in 1.12 or just any other version you might not have these blocks but you can use regular grass or just anything you want honestly any type of dirt but i’m just going to use this

We are using warped so and i’m going to try and pronounce the second part but you guys get what i’m saying you guys can tell the color difference um but yeah i’m just gonna use this because it looks nice here we go all right this is what you should have when it’s

Finished um now we’re gonna get started on the bottom of the island because right now it looks sort of plain so we’re gonna get rid of these and we’re gonna use these we’re also gonna get some slabs because i have not gotten any so you can use any slab you could use stone

Cobblestone stone brick mossy stun brick but i like to use cobblestone and stone a lot so we’re gonna use both of those we could also use smooth sandstone i’ll probably just smooth instead of regular stone um and yeah so what i typically do here is i just kind of place wherever i think

Things could go like say if you want to put cobblestone here like here and then you want to place them here this wouldn’t really work because i feel like it’s too close so what you need to do is try and space everything out to where you just don’t think it’s overcrowded with stuff

So for example i place them here right and i want to place some like down here then i can because i can just break some of the blocks place some stuff here and boom it’s not too close it’s not cluttered you know and then if i wanted to add another block like maybe

End the site here i could because then it’s not cobblestone and you know it kind of goes well right there so i’m just going to fill in where things are needed um i can’t really explain this enough just don’t try and overcrowd it you know don’t try and overdo it with stuff

Not all sides need the exact same number of things on one side and yeah you guys should be fine so now i’d like to be adding stuff and i’ll show you guys when i’m done okay and this is what we have um i decided to just add some of the dye

Right in there and it looks really good now we’re just gonna make this look a little different because you can always put this down if you want so you can just add a few like little dirt pieces that go down a little if you wish to now i’m going to get some decoration

That i like to use so when building islands this isn’t always enough and i want to add a little pizzazz to it sometimes i use fences it doesn’t really matter which i usually like to use birch but you can use any type of fence for this one we’re going to use spruce

We can also use slabs we can use a spruce slab just any type of slab honestly but we’re just going to use spruce because it matches and i also use actually like to use leaves so it doesn’t really matter which leaves but jungle leaves we’re going to use for

This one so this can go as far down as you want like i said but sometime i like to do this or you could use cobblestone walls and a slab if you want depending i just like to add this here just because it looks it makes it look nice um

But i’m just still going to use the spruce oops there we go so we need to spruce to that and leaves i just like leaves to come from the top to the bottom you could like make a little swirl it can go all the way down you could

Also skip a few blocks if you wish but just because i want to make this look very nice you can also make it come down this way you can place as random as you want honestly that’s what i do most of the time um you can also make this go into the

Ground if you want so like if you want something like this it’s what i usually do and then you could like put this here if you want though that’s up to you i also like to build my own trees um this is not gonna be a tree tutorial but

You know everyone can build their own tree if they want or you can grow one i typically like to build mine so we’re just gonna do a little simple tree maybe here that’s where we’ll do it so we’re going to build a simple tree and you can make this tree as tall as

You want short as you want you can grow one like i said most likely trees sometimes you just have to play around and put leaves and delete leaves if you don’t think they go there you know it just depends on what type of tree you’re making um this looks alright to me looks

Alright you can also add water here if you want like i did on my other island in my other video you could add water if you wish to but for this one we are not going to add water but you can also make it kind of like a

Sitting area you know you can grab some slabs slabs our fan favorite in this video um we can also grab some trap doors oh this one’s nice you know if you want to make like a little sitting area you can it’ll look very cute wrong way i forgot you have to look this

Way in order to place them so you can do like this you can grab some signs we’ll do some crimson times just like matches it’ll look really cute you can also grab some land turns we have some soul lanterns here so usually what i like to do is you know do

This a little bit make it look nice and we can also do this and then crouch there you go uh what else can we do for this um can you put flowers on this i never really tried this no you cannot okay oh let’s see hmm

Or something we could do some of these i guess these work Let’s see i guess it only can be planted on yeah so that’s kind of sad but you know we can add like some little decoration here and there for this Let’s see let’s see let’s see let’s see maybe we should add some of these can you oh yeah we can oops we don’t want these to be too close and like too yeah so we’ll just add them where we think they should go and yeah this looks pretty good actually so

Yeah i guess this is where i’m gonna end my tutorial if you guys like tutorials you guys should give me suggestions on other tutorials i could do i guess um and yeah i can try and make that happen like i know when this video comes out i’ll be doing

Building the house for this island over here which i have not done yet and i still need to do that also these are like my friends build so don’t mind those but yeah thank you guys so much for watching this tutorial i love you all and i’ll see you all Later
