Transforming a Pirate Village in Minecraft | Build Timelapse

It is so much fun to transform these villages from something completely ordinary to something a little bit more epic and that’s what this video is going to be all about i’ve been wanting to explore the pirate theme for a while and this seed seemed completely perfect welcome to another video i’m geminite

And let’s get started with the building process to begin with this build we needed a more epic piece of terrain the island was fairly flat and i wanted something to give us an amazing background that would really set the scene a volcano seemed perfect so i got some world at it

Going in a flat world and created this epic volcano once pasted into the island you can see it makes a very big difference now we’re ready to actually start with the building of the structures hang on i need to stop the video for a second i want to actually show you my

Technique for building ships kind of in a slower form just real fast this is how i frame them out right so i start with this bottom line along here starting with the very bottom of the ship the back goes up a little steeper and then i slope the front forward

Then i come up this way and just make a nice little shape right flat around connecting that in three dimensions and then you can add these little connectors along like this and this looks sort of like the process of building a boat in real life now of

Course the way that you do this does depend on what type of ship you’re building but generally if you have some type of reference art you’ll be able to figure it out and hopefully get something fairly organic the next piece of advice i have for you comes from the

Sales too often i see people building boats that have fairly flat sails that don’t have a lot of shape to them to combat this i like to put my sails at an angle this helps kind of force me into doing a more organic shape so i’ll bring

The mask straight up and then i’ll angle these just like so don’t worry i’m not going to leave you hanging with the sails for the cells usually i will map something out similar to this so that i can kind of get a good feel for how it’s

Going to look and then i would just connect it all together remember you’re wanting to have something that’s looks like it can catch the wind i try to have a nice curve going in it right here especially if it’s going full sail now don’t have your ship going full sail

Directly into a port because it’s going to end up a shipwreck as you’ll see in this video speaking of let’s get back to it okay so the first thing we’re going to be doing is something that’s very important to speeding up the entire process of this build i’m going to be

Making three very basic ships no details not even a rudder i’m gonna use these to paste into my belt as i need them and add details to them where they’re needed this is gonna keep me consistent and make it so i don’t have to build a

Ship’s haul every time i need them if you don’t have world edit and you’re wondering if this is still possible totally is you’ll have to learn how to use structure blocks in the clone command but it can totally be done on any version of the game

You can see here i’m using them to make a shipwreck base instead of having these awkward floating islands jutting out all over the place i thought balancing some houses on the shipwrecks of perhaps enemy ships that have stumbled upon this island accidentally may be just appropriate for a pirate’s house the

Other fun thing i do is actually use some ships upside down for the roofs of these houses i think this gives a really lovely quirky feel to the pirates house i’m going to be using that technique especially here in the center where we’re creating this captain’s quarters

I’m going to take two ships and create this two-story house a big one on the bottom and then a smaller one on the top creating lots of different broken pieces sort of pieces of a ship’s mast a crow’s mask ropes hanging all over the place just essentially making a mess and

Somehow that actually looks really good in the style now we’re going to focus on this section of floating houses over here we’re going to take the terrain out of it and turn it into a floating wharf sort of situation then on the shore we’re going to create a shipwreck so you know those

Shipwrecks that just spawn naturally you could totally do this with one of those i’m going to use my own shipwreck so that i can put in my own details but basically all i’m doing is splitting it in half down the middle to make it look like it cracked adding a little mask

That’s fallen over and sort of turning it into a house then we’re going to get rid of that little farm and focus on the well that for some reason is filled with villagers i don’t know what’s wrong with this map but the villagers keep congregating in my well and i i can’t

Explain it but you’ll see them go back in there momentarily anyways now we’re moving on to have sort of a little dock area with some crates and some tnt i thought that was suiting although i do hope it doesn’t blow up and now for more floating houses we’re

Gonna put these up on some stilts and i’m gonna keep this very basic you’ll notice with some of the houses in this world as with the one that i’m working on right now that i’m elevating onto an actual ship some of them are very very different from the original village

Houses and have changed quite a lot but then some of them like the one right next to the ship are kept almost identical to the original village i think having this balance between more complex houses and very simple houses helps to keep me grounded throughout this entire process and of course keeps

That original minecraft village feel here’s a couple more simple houses over here one again keeping that original village feel to it and the other turning into a smaller version of those upside down boat roof houses with a flag and a few banners this area is now complete let’s move on to the

Blacksmith a blacksmith for pirates was actually something that i struggled with a lot because well pirates usually go get most of their like armor and tools right they they don’t need to make it typically so i struggled a little bit with coming up with a concept but i think this worked

Out in the end and the quirky design ends up looking okay and again for farms kind of a similar problem i’m not actually sure how pirates would get their food although i assume they would have to eat something so maybe chickens and the eggs that come

From that would be just perfect a simple coop does the trick now i still do want this to feel like a village so of course we need an area for people to trade a market this old ship’s mass that is sort of ragged and torn now is perfect spot

For a market center and then another little booth off to the side finishes the look off on this sort of jetting island over here i wanted to do a little hut i’m going to be continuing this design in the back as well but basically this is

Just a very flat shipwreck that has some farms growing in it i thought this looked great and it was a good replacement for the farms and with this final house on the end keeping the exact same shape once again just adding a little spruce border and changing out

The walls to be the mushroom block which is the block that i chose for this palette then with some more palm trees that is the last of the houses done now we’re just on to details like this path here that looks more like a bridge i decided

To turn it into an actual bridge and over on this sort of crossed island over here i wanted to have a watchtower i thought this would really suit the area and the pirates would definitely need something like that so a rugged watchtower on this island is perfect and

Speaking of rugged we are going to want to transform the beach adding soft palm trees all over the place does the trick but it’s not quite enough i also want to have some areas of reef that are kind of jutting out of the water this rocky patched area really makes the land look

More rugged and adds a lot of detail that is really needed for the atmosphere of this island and finally just going to be going in and adding in a few more of those farms to complete the look and fill in a bit more space on our island after that the build is complete

Let’s go check it out Guys guys it’s time to show the video this is the part where we actually show them the whole build and you guys like look fancy and do stuff and please leave my well please please leave thank you sir why are they like this this ought to solve that problem Creating this build was honestly so much fun i think it might be one of my absolute favorites to date so let’s take a quick walk through what i did in the game shall we but first let’s get some shaders on much better these are the bsl shaders they are

Absolutely fantastic let’s go toward this lovely pirate scene with these i think the first thing of a note as you walk around here is definitely some of the things that they have trapped this creature for example definitely a weird catch the entire area as you look around is surrounded by

Ships whether they are docked or just off in the distance through the various buildings i think this really gives a good atmosphere to the entire area of course there is interior to each of these buildings just various things lots of these different barrels where they can get i’m sure different forms of

Alcohol that pirates would like and upstairs a simple sleeping quarter hello sir are you hiding in your house sure i’ll leave you alone let’s head to shore now and see this lovely market area if you’ll notice there’s a few of these armor stand creatures all around you can see two in this shot

If you have a good eye these are created by the lovely kirsten he’s a amazing mod and member of my discord server i really appreciate him doing those they’re so adorable and such good assets to a world what do you want what villagers are so weird to work around it’s just why

All right so the market itself is pretty uneventful i used some player heads to get some different gold and little satchels pots different valuables that they may have gotten over their various adventures also a little map of the area sits right here and i think this actually looks

Surprisingly good on map which is why i put that there you guys are so loud you’re so loud why i know i took you out of your well but like seriously i built so many houses there’s so many houses another one of my favorite areas is this right here this

Is the thumbnail this is a thumbnail perspective i love this docked ship and this is actually originally the butcher so what i’ve done is i’ve kept the chimney in its original spot and i’ve pretty much kept the interior it’s got a little smoker right there and i’ve made

It kind of look like this ship has different barrels of food and they’re cutting up some meats and really make it look like it’s a working ship and i think those sort of details add so much to the scene i mean what a great place to live and work

And again mixed in with these much fancier houses in the pirate theme we still have these very basic village houses and i think this is good proof that you don’t need every single structure to be super fancy and amazing to have a good build because i think there’s a really good balance here

Between very basic transformation on a structure and a much more extreme transformation on a structure and something to be said about both of these for sure i know i have used lecterns here as railing i think they work fantastic i’ve used them again right up there they look great with these

Structures just because there’s so much wood but i will say if you are doing a village and you’re using this you will get a lot of librarians which honestly i wouldn’t complain about because they’re kind of a good trading so maybe do use it i don’t know let’s head

This way now into the captain’s quarters from along here as you can see here is our lovely little shipwreck i love this central area it looks like this was maybe the starting point like this ship wrecked here and over time it’s just built up into this epic area anyways captain’s quarters coming right

Up so in through here i’ve done some pretty basic interior we’ve got a few barrels stacked up here an area of treasure some different skulls out through this room we’ve got an area where people can gather and maybe drink enjoy some food whatever upstairs we have a lovely map room right here a

Place where you can sit on a desk and as we continue up further we have this lovely view and we can pop out onto the balcony this captain definitely has the best view although i’m not too sure about that volcano here’s our lovely blacksmith again just some pretty ordinary details

Throughout here an area to work and sleep and some gold stacked up along here i love the look of this whole market area i enjoy creating things that look very busy and this style very much hands itself to that because you’ve got a lot of layers here you’ve got things

Going on overhead you’ve got things going on on the ground and everything is very busy but i think because of that very neutral color palette that i have gone for it’s not overwhelmingly busy it’s like it’s crazy but it’s it’s fine to look at because it’s so neutral

There’s so many woods i’ve used brown and white for the walls and just some very simple color accents and spots so it never feels like it’s overwhelming or too chaotic to look at i think that about concludes our tour of my pirate island let me know what you thought down

In the comments down below i can’t wait to hear from you i’ve been waiting to do this idea for such a long time and when i saw this seed the inspiration finally hit me thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel and don’t forget to subscribe and hit like on this
