Hey guys and welcome back to the minecraft builders academy and today we’re going to be doing something that you guys have been asking for for a while and you know around here we’d love to do the things that you guys want to see so today we’re talking about how to Plan a build and shaping all together kind of into one jumbled combination here and right here guys is the proportion of people who are watching that are subscribed versus not subscribed so if you want to subscribe please consider it down below and let’s get into the tutorial today Let’s see how we plan a build so to begin just some precursor things i want to talk about i’m sure you know this if you like building odd numbers are most of the time better than even numbers and i’m going to break a few myths here real quick guys it’s not Always like that sometimes even numbers are good and you need to know when to use them because it can be highly beneficial sometimes but you want to play it safe go with the odd numbered blocks and sides but if we turn our attention over here what is this we got Here with this is a square this is a square squares and rectangles are very frowned upon in the building community when you’re learning how to build a lot of people say don’t just use squares don’t use boxes stay away from boxes but guys i’m gonna here to tell You that they’re not all that bad and it depends what you do that build behind me right above my head to the left that blue roofed one that that has a rectangle foundation just a simple rectangle and that’s it it’s that simple guys every good builder Knows how to use boxes and squares and if you’re to tell somebody not to use squares or rectangles then they’re not gonna know what to build and they’re gonna keep getting tripped up so guys it’s okay to use boxes and sharp edges and squares of rectangles it’s about What you do with it so with that being said let’s move on to the shaping now this might be a little overwhelming at first but what we have here is our squares our rectangles our circles and our diagonals now these are going to be kind of our four pieces that we’re going to Put together to make our builds and you can take a picture or screenshot of that if you want just some dimensions we have small to large as you can tell but guys when you’re making a build you want to pick a foundation and combining a lot Of these is what you want to do you want to pick you know what you want the front of your build to look like combine some pieces to make it look nice and then add in your other shapes to mix it up and make it more detailed if you move over Here you can see i’ve taken those exact shapes i put on the ground and just combined a bunch to make the layout of a small build right here and i’m not going to do anything too crazy quite simple right here we got two different diagonal parts We got three circles for towers and then we got a big rectangles here a couple big rectangles and then a square on the edge here so guys this is how you do it you lay it out on the ground you can envision it this is the the front of the build There’s me two towers on either side of the entrance this side is going to have a little diagonal piece this side will have a little bit of a taller part and the back will have a big tower you can kind of see it just by laying it out on The floor and from here the next step is to build it up taller so guys i’m going to show you how to do that i’m going to go ahead and jump into a time lapse of me just taking these concrete pieces and building them up taller to get the General shape of what i want so this is going to be a tower this is going to be a tower this is going to be a wall that eventually goes into a roof this is going to be just a normal building with a roof we got a big tower in the back a Smaller diagonal tower over here and then kind of a taller roofed piece over here so let’s move into building these things up tall and we’re going to leave the roof off for now so let’s just build up these pieces let’s get into it So there we go we got it all built up guys and as you can see we’re going to have you know some tower tops here here and then some taller ones here and here we’re going to have a nice square style roof on this and then what we’re Gonna have is this is gonna be kind of a walkway across here we’re gonna have a knife nice roof right here and then in the very middle it’s all gonna come together real nice guys like kind of a small castle so next thing we have to do is turn our Attention to the block palette now block palette is very important for planning your build and what you want to do first is pick some base colors now right here i went with a gradient of things so i can combine it all on the sides you Don’t have to do that if you want to do something like that over there where it’s just you know mixed in stone stone bricks and andesite just for texture you can do that just mix it all together so it’s not just one plain block all the way across next we have some more Detailing blocks right here i might mix into the sides just for fun and then the next thing you have to consider is your details you know your stairs your fences your walls your slabs things like that and that’s what i’m going to use these blocks here For this is a really good combo of colors right here any kind of stone with deep slate and then adding in spruce and any greenery that’s a great combo so the next thing you do is put that into practical use now we have the shaping we Have the build planned out here and the next thing we have to do guys now is just place basically paste the block palette onto here and then after that we do the detailing so now let’s paste the block palette onto this build right here Beautiful guys there we go we got it basically replaced we just replaced the concrete with these blocks and did a little bit of detailing to start but yeah basically i just replaced all these now it is very stony isn’t it there’s a lot of stone going on but that’s where The details come in like the dark deep slate like the spruce that breaks it up so much as you can see here so all the shaping all the planning is done now it’s time to add the details we have to pick a roof color pop a roof on each of These and all the towers so we got one two three four tower roofs to do and then one two normal roofs to do there and then we gotta figure out what to do with the middle area here and this right here we might have a walkway we might Have an awning kind of thing i don’t know it will evolve as we build so guys i hope you’ve learned a lot from this planning and shaping tutorial now let’s just have some fun and finish off this build So there we have it folks a pretty interesting little castle build here now nothing on the inside in here i’m gonna leave that up to your own creativity what do you think should go in there but guys we got this nice little build here i’m happy with the way it came out and I’m just happy with you know being able to show you guys how i do my shaping and planning for builds it’s really straightforward isn’t it we grab some shapes we put them together we may build them up into the shape we want we pick a block palette we put the block palette Into the shape and then we detail it up now i think you can tell it’s a clock tower right it’s a little hard to see from over here something about the lighting is a little off but hopefully you guys enjoyed this tutorial and hopefully it was helpful and i hope you Come back again and join us here at the builders academy let me know down below what you want to see next and i have a very special video coming out soon about a bigger build that’s what’s kind of you know making my videos come out a little bit uh slowly at the moment Because i have a project in the background i’m working on but you will find soon you will soon find out what that is but again thank you guys for watching and i’ll see you next time Video
