![]() I also like smart looking build materials which can be exposed to give an honest look to the house – in other words, you can appreciate the engineering and choice of material.” “I prefer minimalist furnishings, open spaces and sleek design. “I really hate ‘clutter’ in houses!” Andy tells me, much to my delight. Turns out 'beautiful on the inside' doesn't always apply to house design. ![]() Oh, don’t get me wrong, it looked amazing on the outside! But as soon as we walked in, I saw that the walls were made of dirt. It was when one of my friends invited me to his Minecraft house. I remember the last time I had to use my imagination. White and grey work well together, especially if tied together with brown wood.” “My best advice is to stick to blocks like white concrete, light grey concrete, and stone – or similar – for the walls. ![]() “A good modern house builder will think about their palate, meaning which blocks they’ll use to build it,” explains Andy. For Creative Mode players, a block is just a few mouse clicks away, but as a Survival player, it might take hours for you to collect the necessary materials – and there are plenty needed if you want to get it right! Luckily, you don’t have to be stupidly rich to be able to build modern architecture in Minecraft! But getting started with a modern house might be easier said than done. I could not find any floor plans for it, so we had fun designing the most ridiculously lavish house possible, complete with bowling lanes, a YouTube recording room, cinema, tennis courts and even a helipad! While it was a fun build, I still tried to make sure the layout was sensible, the rooms had good views and the build would work for the rich people living in it!“ “I did this 20+ hour livestream, where I built my version of the Bel Air mansion ‘The One’. turns out a golden house might not even be close to as excessive and over the top as one of Andy’s recent builds. Hey, remember the second paragraph where I made a HILARIOUS joke about building a house made of gold? Well. Just place blocks in simple rows, add some carefully placed windows and a few vertical elements and you already have something that looks like a real-life house.” ![]() “Many modern houses have a lot of clean-looking straight lines, a relative lack of diagonal lines and a strong horizontal composition. “The reason modern and contemporary houses seem to lend themselves to Minecraft probably stems from the fact that we build with square blocks,” says Andyisyoda, a professional YouTuber and aspiring architect, known for his skills with these styles. What unites the two styles is how good their themes fit into the game. With concrete-heavy creations such as Fallingwater or Villa Savoye, it dates back to the early 1920’s. The difference? Contemporary is the architecture of its time, using innovative approaches and minimalist design choices to make the house of tomorrow – today! Modern architecture on the other hand is – despite its name – quite old. Two of the most popular building styles in Minecraft are modern architecture and contemporary architecture. I’m actually talking about modern architecture! I’m talking, of course, about building a tacky castle entirely out of gold! Wait, that’s not it. Perhaps it’s time to try out a whole new design? One that incorporates a feeling of both style and luxury. This is all to say that there comes a time in every Minecraft player’s life when they suddenly want to take their house building skills to the next level. Small, dirty shacks becomes beautiful villas, simple cobblestone is replaced with jungle tree or terracotta, and that pile of sand blocks you threw on the floor instead of building a bed becomes an actual bed. Minecraft was released on November 18, 2011, and is available on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, iOS, Android, Raspberry Pi, Windows Phone, Wii U, Nintendo Switch, and Apple TV.The beautiful thing about Minecraft is how you gradually improve as a player, honing your craft, slowly developing your skill – and your personal taste often follows suit. Players could make it massive and open, or it could be a complete labyrinth to navigate they may just need a slightly beefier PC to see it in all its glory. Perhaps the biggest challenge for this building is designing the interior. While it's not the most complex of designs, the detailing on each of the front-facing walls is impressive, and the way all of the extensions lock together is beautiful. Not to mention, this is just one of many huge buildings. The dimensions of this building exceed 100 x 100 x 100 blocks and will certainly take a while to complete, but it will be a sight to behold once it's finished. For players who have more resources than they know what to do with, here is the ultimate challenge in medieval building.
