It’s just look at all these comments every single video at least 10 people ask me to do a modern house i really like don’t want to do it but at the same time if they’re asking for it then i should probably you know give them what they want What should i do npc agree and you should build a rustic house green you should always build a rustic house i don’t know man why don’t we like spice it up a little bit what if i go and build the modern house that they want And show that i don’t need to build the same style all the time you know not everything has to be a rustic house and i can do pretty much any style that i want no green that would be quite the opposite of a rustic house there will be no modern builds from you Come on npc grid we’ve been through this before put it away we don’t need any of that here i don’t think you understand green if you made a modern house i might just go insane you know what no no no not again in your closet you go No more until you’ve learned your lesson i’m going to build a modern house goodbye hello my name is green and i know that i’ve said for a long time that i won’t be doing modern build but i figure i might as well just get it out the way And have it done with i can do the style i haven’t done it in a very very long time but i’m gonna give it a shot anyway so departure from my usual style of planning i have actually made my block choices very early and with a modern Build you’re really going to be limited by what you’ve got in your inventory unless you want to use a texture pack and by this i mean cyan clay is a very good choice a couple of the types of wood the dark oak and the spruce and of course quartz block or alternatively Snow because white is the primary choice when you’re doing these kind of builds so anyway i have a nice block of slime clay that i have risen up to a degree but it will be risen up again later again it’s really difficult to give a tutorial on a modern house without going Block for block but i’m going to try and teach you some of the techniques necessary to get a good one now so as you can see i’ve got very geometrically square design going on and i think that’s very important for a modern build i’ll try and drive home some of the Shape mechanisms that we need to do when we’re making a modern house but for the most part just sort of watch and take in what i’m doing and i’ll point out for example right now i’m doing this s shape and you can see there’s no curvature it’s all straight lines squares Rectangles and it’s all meant to be aesthetically pleasing it’s quite difficult to explain and when you make your own modern house you really need to think about what you’re going to do visualize the shape maybe even just go online take a good gander at some of the other modern houses That’s what i did i had a good look a bit of research took a lot into consideration when i was making this house and sort of combined lots of ideas together to try and give you the best overall impression of a modern house so as you can see i’m just filling in These little bits with quartz block and i have a very rudimentary shape and i decided to include a little bit more wood in relation to the quartz because it was quite quartz heavy and you can see i’ve got three separate parts the cyan clay the quartz and the wood and Getting the proportions of these bits right are essential to a modern build house for example on the left there i just made that a little bit too small so i need to extend that out so it is completely in proportion with the rest of the build and just adding those two Extra blocks really helped get that across so i hope that you’re understanding where i’m coming from the design process for making a modern house is very different to all the others the shape is what’s more important than getting the framework done because a modern house doesn’t really have a frame As you can probably tell right now so i’m just filling in some of the walls with quartz so you don’t get confused with all the various shapes going on and i’m going to be talking about the glass work for a minute modern houses have an awful lot of just big glass faces and That’s no different when you’re doing it in minecraft as well choosing a stained glass is probably the best way to go i like a gray or a dark one but again you could choose any one that you wanted it just suits the quartz block a little bit Nicer and you can choose to put these windows in absolutely everywhere and you can see i put that little slither at the top to have an extra layer of glass panes up there and i think that’s just a really nice technique to use when you’re making a modern house so on the cyan Clay block bit that i made i actually decided to use blue windows instead because it matches the color accordingly so as you can see my color choice has matched the block choice that it is integrated into this is a big tip that you need to consider when you’re making A modern house and i didn’t really mention it earlier but i did use iron blocks for the garage door there in the bottom right hand corner and as you can see we’ve kind of got the main shape of the house but there’s something missing and i don’t mean the interior There’s a lot of problems with contrast here there’s a lot of white and the class there so what i’m actually going to do is add these vines that look like very nice plants overgrowing into the building itself and what this does is just really releases some of the tension From all of those straight edges and just makes it look a lot more natural and integrated with a lot of good contrast so on the back instead of just replicating what i did on the front i’m actually going to try and show you a couple different techniques so one thing That we can do is just add some cobblestone wall there as a bit of guttering or alternatively we can go back to our cyan clay and instead of having it just in one big block we can separate it into two little ones and have a nice sort of middle parting down The center of our building and what that does is just take some of the pressure off having a complicated shape like i did at the front with the s and i’m also going to be running around with some fern at the bottom for some reason it’s only one block tall in the Replay mod but whatever that also is quite important having that low level rise in the grass and again just adding some leaves there as some extra contrast to the building you can tell that although i went through this very quickly the systems behind it are very simple you need lots of geometrically Square shapes that complement each other and depth is the most important thing here look how all the bits are placed at different variations of depth it’s very very important that you understand that a modern build isn’t really about the detail it’s about the overall effect and The shape of it all so that’s it from me i haven’t really gone into too much detail and i will do in the future i had to do a quick video today i have been very very busy with multiple projects so i do apologize for the shortness of this Video i do plan on going into a bit more detail on the modern house style and sort of process in the future but what i hope i have done maybe is sort of cleared up some of the anxieties about making a modern house and how you can Sort of approach it in a very simplistic way but at the same time i hope that i’ve inspired you to come up with your own ideas again about making a modern house in this case and hopefully you guys can make one and again you can feel Free to tweet me and i’ll help you out in any way i can so that’s it from me guys thank you very much for watching goodbye Video Information

NPC Grian won’t be happy about this…
Yep, so, I gave in and decided to do a short video on some modern house techniques. It was surprisingly not that bad.
I will do more videos going into more detail further down the line for a good modern minecraft house, but for now I hope this does it for you!
Please let me know what you think 🙂 The interior on modern is waaaay different to what I normally do, so I’ll save that for another time.
I use the Replay mod for my fancy camera work please support them: Replaymod.com
