What you can do is take advantage of Minecraft’s nonexistent physics, and start hollowing out the mountain you stand on, mining for stone and other precious stuff. Depending on how high you want to build, or how many buildings and walls you want to raise, somewhere between eight and fifteen big chests of cobblestone should suffice. And then, well, then I hope you have tonnes and tonnes of cobblestone ready. So see to it that you create a plane surface on the mountaintop all the way to at least one side of the mountain. Step Two: Laying the foundations and keeping supplies coming inĭepending on the size of your mountaintop and on how impressive you want your castle to be, you should at least take into consideration building one side of it as flush with the mountainside as possible. Try creating a flat area of at least 60×60 blocks. Seek out a high rising, yet not too narrow mountain, and start creating some sizable real estate by taking its top off with your trusty shovel. The best biome for impressive, breathtakingly located castles is without a doubt extreme hills. Location, location, location! True for any kind of real estate. If you have a video you would like to have featured here or have some castle blueprints that are worth sharing with others, please get in touch and I will get it added to this guide.The most important thing for building a Minecraft castle is finding the right spot. I will avoid using these too much as it is fairly unrealistic that anyone would be building these in their creative worlds, never mind survival. Some people have really gone to the extreme spending a huge amount of time on some beautiful creations. This playlist should give you plenty of influence to come up with some amazing castles. Symmetry can be important if you are going for a rectangular design.
Always make sure to count blocks so that you don’t end up building three walls and find the fourth doesn’t line up correctly.
A cobblestone castle looks pretty ugly in the desert.Ĭoming up with castle ideas can be easy enough based on the number of tv shows and movies that feature them. The greatest thing about castles is that you can build them in any biome and they will look great, so long as you use the correct type of stone for that biome. If your castle is so big that parts of it have vanished based on the draw distance, it’s time to scale it back. The perfect Minecraft castle design should be fairly large but compact enough that makes it efficient and useable. You don’t want to have to spend 5 minutes walking to the center of the structure.
The world is your canvas, build as big as you like, but remember that the inside needs to be filled with something. Cobblestone outer walls that go on for days. The first and most common mistake everyone makes is to create some monster of a structure. What may seem like an easy case of 4 walls with a tower on each corner, the design of a castle can be a lot more difficult than it might seem. You have found a village, made it your own and now you need a castle to reign supreme over your little villager minions.
