Modern House Minecraft Builds | BASIC vs INTERMEDIATE vs EXPERT

In the last video we tackled a modern house design using the chisel and bits mods whereas this time we’re gonna do three varying levels of a modern house from basic to intermediate and expert so we’re going to jump right into things and making the basic version of the modern house Oh yeah I forgot to mention I’m sure you’ve already noticed got a new hair got a new background environment it’s very very nice anyway let’s get into showing off the build so we are done with the basic version of our modern house and we’ve got a nice compact

Little design going on here I think it’s pretty much just about on the border of not being too difficult in design and it’s basic enough that most people should be able to pull it off anyway what do we have going on here so the main blocks that we’re using in

This build and you’ll see persist throughout the other builds as well are the use of these concrete blocks simply because they’re very simple block had got this matte finish to it as well and they’re just very modern looking in general so you’ll see a lot of white and

Gray concrete being used throughout the other builds I’ve also incorporated the stripped oak log which I haven’t used in any of my other builds really I’ve used it a little bit here in there but not properly so I wanted to give her his chance to stand out so I decided to

Using this build and incorporating it with these signs I think gives it those woods slap kind of effect and it’s just a bit different from using regular oak planks but other than that there are a few key features which are going to persist throughout this build and the

Next two to come one of which is this waterfall effect or water feature and pretty much I’ll show you the inside in a second we’ve got glass underneath this water so you’ll be able to see it from the outside as well as the inside the other feature is this indoor aquarium or

Fish tank I suppose but I wanted this one to be a little bit different so I decided to incorporate it into the floor and then we’ve just covered it in some glass on top secrets to walk over it so here’s that water feature like I said

Before I think using a lot of natural light in these modern houses is really what sets them apart especially obviously using these shaders which helps but trying to keep things very open and airy in a build I think is what really makes a modern design so I decide

To add a few the main blocks in here obviously in case you went to actually use it is your actual house so a few main features like some chests and furnaces crafting table you know the long but yeah as far as the design features go that’s pretty much it like I

Said a lot of windows very airy and open space the second floor has even got this balcony so it’s not completely cut off from the rest of the house and then lastly we’ve got these two key features which you’re going to persist throughout the house so we’ve got the indoor

Aquarium or fish tank or whatever and also the waterfall feature anyway yeah it’s pretty simple and asleep but I like it I know a lot of people like really compact designs as well so I tried my best to do that for this I could have made it smaller to be

Fair but I still wanted it to have the ability to have that second floor plus I do like the really high lofty spaces in modern houses anyway oh yeah and lastly you might be wondering how I’ve got this carpet just floating up like this to make a little

Thin slat bit of roof because we got these signs here I can literally just place them on top of the signs and it will just stay there and then for the corner pieces I’ve simply added a piece of string so yes it’s visible for only

If you really get up close to it and see the bounding box for it so this is the basic modern house design very compact very cute now of course what we’re going to do is we’re going to take this basic build and we’re going to transform it to

The next level of difficulty which is intermediate so it might be a little bit more complex a little bit bigger so yeah let’s get into it shall we So with that we’ve done the intermediate level as you can see things are a little bit different from the basic version we decided to go vertical instead of horizontal but there is a reason for this of course you don’t really get that many vertical modern houses usually when

You do a modern house it becomes very flat and long but instead of doing just a regular modern house I wanted to try and pull off the apartment block kind of style it’s where everything is very vertical and kind of stacked on top of each other but as far as apartment

Blocks go I think it’s done the job so the few key features which still persist throughout the build we’ve got the waterfall which is on the roof and it kind of comes down the side of the building it’s also got glass behind it as well so you can see through from the

Interior of the house we’ve also got the a little aquarium on the inside as well the fish tank but I’ll show you that in a second first of all we’ll just have a little outside view of things and see what’s going on so again you kind of

Notice I’m using the same blocks as I did on the basic version and again it’s gonna kind of persist on to the next version as well I really want to try and show you the progression of how you can go from something small using the same blocks but kind of progressively make it

More well bigger and detail so we’ve still got the stripped logs up here with the signs on top of it we’re using a little bit of floating carpet as well got a nice little flowerpot tiny little garden section up top there more floating carpets some banners some little glass banisters for the balcony

As well and of course because it’s a block of flats I still want to try and keep to that really compact style hence the tiny little garden hence everything being cramped into that kind of tower shape but anyway let’s have a little look around on the inside so as

For interiors we’ve got things looking pretty simple pretty sleek a lot of white walls but I think that just adds the whole modern aesthetic of course we got the little aquarium in the floor again a little bit bigger than last time and I’ve also decided to embed the

Crafting table into its well meant to kind of be like a coffee table but I didn’t want to just have it sit on top so we got no couch design got some flowerpots in each of the corners nice bit of modern art you know I’ve also

Added some end rods to the ceiling to act as the light fittings now in this shade if for some reason they don’t really emit light which is kind of a downer but it’s more so just there for the purpose of them being light fittings and we’ve got this massive open section

So you can really see each of the floors I actually love this about this build because it still keeps things quite open in design and makes it feel very airy so you can lick should just go through to each of the levels obviously not gonna fly but you know I’m

Saying it keeps things very open plan not like sectioned off to each of the floors anyway going up the stairs we’ve got the second floor which is the bedroom just got a simple white bed going on another bit of our got these massive windows of course and we’ve got

The start of this massive L window as well again like I said just a lot of light a lot of natural open space really works for the modern vibe we’ve got that waterfall feature outside you can’t really see the water on the outside which is a bit strange but it’s there

Anyway going up to the top level I decided to just add a chest as a little storage area it’s more like a cabinet or just to show you what you could do you know anyway again a lot of windows a lot of natural light and then finally we

Come up to the very top onto the roof of the apartment block as well so yeah I just added this little open rooftop space just come out and chill if you wanted to but as I said before I’m gonna set things to a nighttime just so you

Can kind of see what it might look like in this light setting as well and to be fair if it’s the vibe very clean-looking so as I mentioned earlier these light fittings don’t really emit light you can see it’s a slight bit but really not a

Lot the main light source is the sea lanterns of course so I tried to incorporate them on each of the levels as well so that does it for the intermediate level apartment block modern house so now of course we’re going to take this and they’re going to

Transform it into the expert here and see what we can come up with So finally we are done and this is the expert tier modern house and as you can see I went for a bit more of a normal approach to things making things a bit more flat rather than vertical like the apartment block but starting from the bottom I’ve got this little driveway

Here that kind of connects the front I wasn’t gonna add it but the only real reason I did is because we’ve got the garage down the bottom left here and I feel like it kind of needed it to show that it was a garage because otherwise

It just it could be anything you know I also wanted to add in these little custom rocks here as well just to kind of break up the green in the grass as for the actual house let’s go through things and see what we’ve done so like I

Said we still stuck to the main block materials we’re using a lot of white and a lot of grey concrete but this time I’ve also incorporated a little bit of light grey concrete as well we’re still using the stripped wood and adding the signs on it as well to kind of break

Things up a little bit so coming through the front door I again wanted to keep things very airy and open so we’ve got this massive open room here for the first room that we walk into it’s kind of a combination of the hallway entrance and a living room and all sorts it’s

Very studio like poking plan so you’ve got a big couch here got a little rug some paintings we’ve still got the water feature I’ve done it up top here basically the same designers we kind of went before before but it’s a little bit bigger and this time the water feature

Actually comes down on the inside as well as the outside so if I was to come up here and actually check it out I could walk into it but obviously there’s my advice you want to go for a little swim a little shower and you you could anyway indoor water feature done now

This time I didn’t go for an embedded fish tank or aquarium in the floor I decided to make it just a regular fish tank but make it massive and kind of use it as the dividing wall between the next room we’ve got the dining area now in

The build I’m sure you saw there was a pool in here at first but I decided to make this the dining area that you can kind of walk through out of the big glass doors into the garden to a much bigger pool and so as you can see we’ve

Got a nice little diving board here the pool goes all the way around and the water feature comes down on the outside as well and kind of ease into the pool so it’s kind of a source for the pool water as well as it going inside the

House for the water feature so very happy with how that and out I think it looks very cool anyway heading back inside always keeping things very open and airy oh yeah another thing is you can see the water caustics on the ceiling there oh that’s something else anyway we’ve got

These massive open windows again the roof is made of glass the back window it’s all glass keeping things very airy and open so the last things for the downstairs floor we’ve got the garage in here I’ve got a few fluorescent tube lights up here some shells for some

Tools and all that I didn’t do a car but you can imagine that there’s meant to be a car there you know anyway the last room to show off downstairs is the kitchen so we’ve got this nice little kitchenette area here few of the main blocks again the furnaces all of that

Into a little cooking area got a little sink with a little draining board and we’ve got this long but very thin window here that kind of gives in a little bit of outside light as well so it’s not completely closed off anyway with the kitchen done let’s go upstairs and check

Out the second level so up here this is the bedroom area we’ve got a massive bed we’ve got a little bit of storage got some drawers here got a wardrobe a little study area I decided to use the lanterns here because I’m not really many alternatives that I can use I could

Have used see lanterns but they’re full blocks and rather than having them just protrude into the middle of the room I thought it was better to just use the sea lanterns because there’s not a lot of height left in this room and you can walk out onto the balcony here to

Overlook the front or you can even walk all the way around to get a view at the back as well and you can see the pool or you can just look inside back into the bedroom anyway going up to the final section of the house and onto the little

Patio area then because I liked having the rooftop section on the intermediate build I really wanted to try and add that into this version as well so we’ve got a little lounge area a little fire pit in the ground we’ve got some sun loungers we’ve got an umbrella but all

Of it together it just makes for a nice cozy little outdoor space but yeah that’s about it as things go fall for the expert tier house it’s a little bit more of a mansion it’s a much bigger build than the first one and it’s a lot more horizontal than the second one but

I think we pulled things off quite nicely now I do very quickly want to see what it looks like at nighttime and I mean to be fair that water looks the nicest currently but aside from the water I think things look quite nice we walk in through the front here yeah I mean

We’ve got the one main source of light up here we’ve got some warmer lights therefore the bedroom but the fishtank and the ceiling I think it’s enough light to admit all also we’ve got the light down here the bottom of the water feature yeah things are looking nice

Things are looking cozy right anyway I hope you guys enjoyed this video the last video was our chisel and bits transformation of a modern house and I wanted to try and bounce off of that video try and keep the ball rolling for modern theme builds as I’m not usually
