How to build a beautiful villain's castle in Minecraft. How to build a beautiful and reliable castle in Minecraft

Have you ever thought about your home? Can it be transformed into something incredibly cool? Maybe you are interested in history or architecture. Or maybe you just like to build in Minecraft. In any case, we would like to touch upon this interesting topic, like building castles in minecraft. This is an amazing opportunity and painstaking work, but the result is worth it to build this creation. Just look at the screenshots - you can make an incredibly beautiful palace with towers, surrounded by water and landscaped with paths all around. This spectacle is simply amazing and once again shows what can really be done in Minecraft.

Part 1: Planning the construction of a palace with towers

First you need to choose a location for the future castle. This is very important point, because your life in the castle - all its nuances - will depend on this. There must be water nearby; In general, the more resources, the better. It's clear.

As for the terrain on which you can make a beautiful palace in Minecraft, the flat tops of mountains and rocks are ideal. Also, if there are a lot of trees around - another good plus. You won't have to go far for resources. We carefully clear the required area for the future building. Take extra.

The most interesting thing is the base and walls. Remember also that in the future you may want to make the castle more spacious. Therefore, think in advance about the place for future possible rooms And basement premises. It is advisable at this stage to decide on the arrangement of things in the rooms; your layout depends on this.

Part 2: Time to make the outside of the castle wall

Let's start building it. Before this, choose exactly how it will look: its style, features of materials. Using a ladder you can do beautiful windows in the castle. The wall can be either wide or not at all. It all depends on your interests. Or you can make it flat closer to the towers (if there are any in your plan). Canopy, ledge and much more - just use your imagination. External walls are how your fortress will be seen by others. It is also an excellent protection against strangers. Don't forget to add a small tower where the 2 walls will meet. As is usually the case with castles from the 13th to the 18th centuries. In this style. A very practical thing worth noting. In general, a tower for a palace is a separate issue. Therefore, think it over in detail in advance.

Part 3: Main tower details

We choose its future location. You can place it along one of the walls of the castle. We are building the entire 1st floor. Then the ceiling. Next is the staircase (there are several options for its construction). One more floor. We do as much as was planned. We decorate their appearance.

Part 4: Front part

We choose, as usual, a place to enter. It is not advisable to enter the tower directly. It is better to place it in the center of some important part of the castle. The wall around it should be wider than usual. Let's decorate it to your taste. It is not at all necessary for the peaceful mode of Minecraft, but it will look very nice.

If you already have experience working with red stone (we described it in earlier articles on our website), then go ahead and make a mechanism for the door. This is very convenient, especially when there are a lot of unfriendly mobs in the area. With this, dear friends, our excursion into the theme of castles in Minecraft has come to an end. Go ahead and build the fortress of your dreams!

A castle in Minecraft is not only a home. A properly built castle can be your additional protection. In addition, you can store all your finds in it.

It should be remembered that building a castle is much more difficult than a simple house, and you should not take on this task if you are not confident enough in your abilities. Despite the fact that the method of creating a house and a castle is largely repeated, making it is much more difficult.

What is the difference between a castle and a house?
Before you start building a castle, you should understand how it differs from a house. This means that even before construction begins, you can understand whether you need a castle. So, the design of the castle is much more complex. Not only is the castle larger, and, therefore, its construction will require significant large quantity resources, and also has a lot additional elements, like a wall and towers. It will take a lot of work to get everything right. This also applies to the organization of your stay in the castle. What do you get as a result:

• Reliable protection from opponents and other players;
• A place to store everything you have obtained;
• A beautiful building to be proud of;

How to build a castle in Minecraft?
If you have already built a house, it will be easier for you, since many of the stages of building a castle, which will be discussed below, coincide with the stages of building a house.

Of course, it all starts with planning. You need to outline the territory where your castle will be located, select and obtain materials. It is best to build a castle in close proximity to a place where you can get materials for its construction. Water and wood are the best option in this case. As for the terrain, it can be anything. Whether it's rocks or plains doesn't matter. The main thing is to build the castle on a flat surface.

If the one you have chosen contains items that could interfere with construction, it is better to get rid of them immediately.
Next you can start marking. Once the boundaries have been determined, you can immediately begin building the base of the castle - external walls. Only after this can you plan how the rooms will be arranged and the arrangement of things.

Now you can start building a defensive wall. To prevent it from looking shabby, you should decide on the style in advance and add some decorative elements. These could be, for example, torches. But here everything is limited only by your imagination. Try experimenting with the shape and width of the wall, or even install an awning.

When the defensive wall is completely ready, you can attach towers to it. To get the hang of this, build one smaller tower, and first, be sure to decide on the size, and overall design. It is advisable to take into account, among other things, what decorations will be on it. After that you can build the rest.

In addition, the castle must have one large tower. However, to build it means to build it separately standing house, in which there will be everything - windows, stairs, and ceilings. This means that the stages of construction are already familiar to you - first we will determine the location and general form towers, then we will build the first floor with a ceiling. The next step is to install the stairs, the second floor, and then as many levels as you need. Finally, you definitely need to decorate the walls.

The most complex buildings are real castles, flying islands, houses underground and under water. These are rather utilitarian buildings, a search for the players’ imagination.

How to build beautiful castle? The task is not easy. You can think over the architecture of the castle, draw future castle on paper, think over the protection and infrastructure of the castle. But it’s best to take a real castle as a basis. Google is here to help you.

Super complex buildings and castles

Ordinary castle

Building a castle is an expensive business. First you need to build a small castle. Four walls, four towers. Gates, houses, that’s basically it ready-made castle. Small but effective.

To build, you will need a lot of building materials, 50 stacks or more. Having built a castle, you can feel like a rich man. Well protected castle - impregnable fortress for the enemy. Construction of the mansion will take more than one day.

• Pros: invulnerability to enemies, respect from other players, large living space, good protection from griefers.
• Disadvantages: construction is very labor-intensive; you will need a lot of materials and space.

Pastime: Having settled villagers inside the castle, you can imagine yourself as a landowner, and your inhabitants are serfs. You continue to protect your mansions with the help of TNT cannons, traps, ditches, mines, automatic turrets, loopholes in towers, and additional walls. Build mob farms, mines and workshops.

House underwater

A modest underwater house. Basic construction material, glass blocks.

The construction will be made of a lot of glass and will require patience. The construction of such housing is not too difficult, of course it is much easier than building a castle. In general, you can even build an entire underwater fortress underwater. It will take several days to build. In the Nether, the same house can be built at the depths of lava.

• Pros - your home is well hidden from prying eyes, in addition to the house, you can dig a mine if you choose correct lighting The only mobs that will come to visit you are octopuses.
• Cons - little space, breaking one block is enough to break the seal of your home, if you don't have a clock, it's difficult to determine the time of day.

Flying fortress or house

A modest flying fortress. An inaccessible place for almost any mob. Wonderful view of the surrounding area.

To build you will need a large number of stone and earth, pickaxe with silk touch. First you choose the desired height location of the house, build pillars to the required height, climb up the pillars, and build the base of the island in the form of an inverted pyramid or sphere or other three-dimensional figure made of earth and stone, and place your house on the flat island. On the land of the island you grow grass and trees. Construction will take 2-3 days.

• Pros - very beautiful view, you can build other islands nearby, you are almost inaccessible to mobs, plus excellent protection from players. A good option with large reserves of stone and earth.
• Disadvantages - you can easily fall to avoid taking damage, you can build an island over water that is two blocks deep. Large expenditure of resources, this is a real long-term construction. Climbing to the island is difficult and takes a long time; if you make the island very high and do not build a ladder, then when you enter the game again (after death), you will search for your island for a long time. But, if you make a ladder from the ground, the grass will grow to the island, but you will have to wait a long time, especially with a high ladder. Even after getting the grass, you will have to wait a long time for the green island. On some servers you can get banned for building an island.

Pastime: you can add many smaller islands to your island and connect them all with bridges, you can dig a hole under the island, as if the island was taken out of the ground, you can build a city, castle or a big tree. You can grow instead of pillars tropical tree, which will then be overgrown with a vine, along which you can climb to the island. If you pour water on the edge of the island and make a waterfall, you can climb up it to the island.

Aircraft

Zeppelin is a mod that adds only four blocks to the game, but they can do almost anything. These blocks allow any man-made structures to fly, drive, swim, and you can move around the game world with them!

You will need at least 5 stacks of materials, installed mod Zeppelin. You climb to the height you need, build the base, add the body on top and install the control unit. As a result, you will get a moving fortress house. Don't make your technique too large sizes, otherwise in-game errors will begin. You will work hard for one to three game weeks.

• Pros - beautiful view from above, you can build a lot of equipment and get a whole fleet in the air, inaccessible to mobs, griefers and players.
• Cons - you can easily fall out of such a vehicle. For construction you will need good materials, which are not easy to obtain. A very labor-intensive construction. Difficulties when descending and ascending. It can easily fly away, leaving you on the ground.

Pastime: you can arrange good protection for your equipment by placing traps, mines, TNT cannons, burning hellstones (only for non-flammable materials), loopholes in the walls and get a real flying fortress.

House in the Region

You will need a portal to the Edge and a lot of blocks that the wanderers of the Edge cannot lift. First you have to kill the Ender Dragon. By selecting appropriate place, build a house. Then build a small storage area for the Ender Chest to carry necessary materials from the ordinary world: armor, food, materials for pickaxes and swords, from the Lower World - deliver potions. Can be delivered to the ordinary world through this chest following materials- End stone, End pearls, obsidian. Time spent - if the fortress is found and the Ender Dragon is killed, then there is half an hour of work left. A good option for those who want to retire and live in peace.

• Pros - mining necessary materials in the Land and including experience, it is impossible to get lost in the Land, its size is small. Residents of the Edge are the only mobs you will meet there, in multiplayer - there are almost no people and griefers.
• Cons - without an Ender chest, you will not have materials from the overworld, you must first kill the Ender dragon.

Pastime: You can mine an unlimited amount of obsidian. The player spawns in the Edge on a 5x5 obsidian platform, if you spend the obsidian of the platform on the right thing and spawn in the Edge again, the platform will appear again - and we start all over again. It is also possible to extract obsidian from obsidian pillars.

Skyscraper

Building a skyscraper is quite possible. But you will need a lot of materials.

You will need a lot of materials and glass. You build floor by floor, each using the same materials and the same construction. Build a skyscraper of the height you need. Spend from one to several days.

• Pros - beautiful building, beautiful view from above, good protection from mobs, you can build skyscrapers on the seashore, you can host friends on the server.
• Disadvantages - you will have to get a lot of materials, labor-intensive construction with lifting materials up the stairs, long ascent and descent along the stairs, if you don’t build an elevator, you can easily fall, the buildings often turn out scary. You need to build in a city or on a busy server; in a forest or in a deserted place, a skyscraper will look ridiculous.

Ship

Building a ship is not enough, you also need to make it fly.

You will need a lot of wood. Build big wooden ship on the water. This undertaking will require a lot of time.

• Pros - a very beautiful view of the ship, large living space inside the ship and on deck, plenty of fish, you can build separate cabins and accommodate friends.
• Disadvantages - construction on water is inconvenient; it will require a lot of resources and time.

Do you want to build your own castle? Have you tried many times and always failed?

I'll give you some tips on how to create beautiful building.

Preparing the site

Before construction can begin, the site must first be cleared and prepared for construction. There are two ways to do this. The first way is to create a new one flat world. To do this, when creating a new world, you need to select its type - Super flat. After this, a completely flat area with grass will appear. The second method is to clear the area. You will need it if you are going to build a castle on a standard world where there is, etc. At this stage, it is best to use the program. The use of this program will be written in a separate article. Let's say you've cleared enough large area for the castle, now you can move on to the next step.

Determining the dimensions of the lock

This stage depends on how large you want the building to be. Personally, I recommend making 100 * 50 cubes. This will be quite enough. I made a smaller castle, which I later regretted. Next, you should mark the boundaries of the castle - make a rectangle 100 * 50, one cube wide and high. It is better to do this from the material that you will use to build the castle. Next, you will need to count 20 cubes from each wall - there will be a courtyard there. If you are not playing on a peaceful difficulty level, then you will need protection from mobs, especially. This leads to the next point - walls.

Walls

If your only threats are zombies, spiders, and endermen, that's okay. But if several creepers appear near the walls, then this is very bad. Therefore, walls should be made of obsidian. It is very difficult to get it in the game, so you can again use the MCEdit program. It is recommended to make three-layer walls - the first and third layers are made of any material, with obsidian in the middle. The height of the walls is 5 - 8 blocks. In this case, the walls will turn out beautiful and light. Personally, I have red brick, like the whole castle. This construction scheme is suitable because it is practically indestructible; bricks destroyed by creepers can be easily reinstalled. You can also make sure that creepers do not approach the walls at all - install a lava moat. To do this, just make a hole outside, 10 cubes from the walls and 1 cube deep, and then fill it with lava.

What is a castle without beautiful gates? Let's start creating them. The front side of the castle will be a side of 100 cubes. The gate is made in the wall, so we count: 100 cubes + 40 (those 20 cubes of the castle yard) + 6 (2 wall thicknesses) = 146 cubes. This will be the length of the wall. The main rule beautiful castle- symmetry. Therefore, we make the gate exactly in the middle. For this, it was necessary to calculate the length of the wall. So, divide 146 by 2, it will be 73. Count down 73rd cube from the beginning of the wall. This is the exact middle. We mark this cube with another block so as not to get confused. Then we remove 2 blocks from each side of the cube to the entire height of the wall. In total, we get a gap in the wall 5 cubes wide. Then we make the floor out of something. Next, you need to make an arch; it can be triangular, round, square, in general, as your imagination dictates. Next, you can make a lattice by filling the opening with fences. You can make a door. You can go even further - make pistons that extend the fence, and attach combination lock, as I did in my castle. Oh yes, there is also a lava moat that needs to be crossed somehow. To do this, you can place pistons under the lava and connect them to them. Redstone must be supplied from both sides. Otherwise, how can you go back? You need to activate it with a button; if you do this with a lever, the bridge will remain standing. Also, repeaters should be installed at both ends, with a delay of about 5 seconds. How it works. You leave the castle, press the button, the repeaters are activated through it, the pistons rise, and you go through them. After 5 seconds, the pistons descend back into the lava. To get back, you need to press another button.

Lock

Well, it's finally here. Remember, the castle walls were marked. So, we launch the MCEdit program again and seal the floor. The castle, this is a medieval building, what was used then? Wood, that’s what we use to cover the floor. Next we make the walls. They must be made 9 blocks high. 7 blocks are the wall itself, the 8th block is the ceiling, the 9th is again wood - the floor for the next floor. We do this for as many floors as you need, or until the height runs out (128 blocks in regular versions and 256 starting from picture 12w07a). There is no need to build walls straight to the top; it is better to build 5-6 floors. Next, you can make something like a pyramid or semicircle with a small platform on top. Next we make a tower on this site. It should be made round, it will be more beautiful. There is no need to go all the way to the top, leave 10 blocks. Then we make a platform on the tower. If you look from the side, it will look like a letter T, where the vertical line is the tower, and the horizontal line is the same platform. Then we make walls, maybe thin ones, because no one can reach the top, unless of course you bothered to put torches for lighting. Then we make a cone-shaped roof. If the platform is rectangular, it will look like a pyramid; if it is round, then it will look like a cone of circles, each with a smaller diameter than the previous one. Then I attached three more small turrets to the base of this tower. On the sides and back. They can be seen on the screenshot.

Window

As stated earlier, the deposit beautiful building- symmetry. Windows are no exception here. There are no special instructions on the shape of windows. We just arrange them symmetrically. As an example, you can see the screenshot of my castle.

Towers

What is a castle without towers? We make towers. It all depends on your choice. You can make the tower round, or you can make it square. Let's say the tower is square, like mine, made of red brick. We make the base 7*7 blocks, then build up 16 blocks. Then, on the 16th block, we make a protrusion on the side for 2 blocks in a circle. Now the walls are being made; a wall is being built on the second (outermost block) of the ledge. In my opinion, a good tower proportion would be 2/1, that is, we have a tower base of 16 blocks, then the height of the wall will be 8 blocks. Let's make a wall. Then we build a roof in the shape of a pyramid, preferably from a different material, it will be more beautiful. Now we make windows. We simply cut holes through one block as in the screenshot.

My windows are covered with glass, but if you are going to defend yourself from mobs, it is better to leave them open. Since I have 4 towers in the corners, I made a bridge from glowing stone to cross between them. I also made flags on each tower from a fence and white wool, just for beauty. Next, we lay a staircase in the tower. So as not to bother, you can make a regular one by attaching it to the wall. But I made a screw from wooden steps. Also, you noticed that I also have towers on the castle itself, I made them to kill mobs when I’m too lazy to leave the castle. It’s better not to put glass there either.

Yard decoration

Walking around an empty yard will quickly get boring, so it needs to be furnished. At the back of the castle I planted a garden - six trees in a row, between which there is a well. I also used bone dust on the grass, as a result of which the yard was transformed - overgrown with grass and flowers. I also made paths from glowing stone between the towers. The yard is great place, therefore, to prevent mobs from spawning, you need to light it, I temporarily placed torches, but you can make lanterns. To do this, you need to put three fences on top of each other, and put wool of any color on top. Then you need to place torches on four sides of the wool, and the lantern is ready.

The same design can be found in villages.

Decorating the castle is simply necessary, since without this it will simply be just rooms inside and walls outside. I made a balcony for myself, which I glazed. I also made something like a waterfall from the balcony - two sources of water on the sides that go down to the bottom, into “bowls”. Inside the balcony I placed tables, a chandelier and a sofa. This can be seen on the screenshots.

On the first floor it costs quite large fireplace, which is made of gold and fenced with bars. Inside there is a hellstone, which, as you know, burns forever when set on fire.

I also did beautiful entrance to the castle, which is visible on the screenshot.

I plan to make a call. This will be a button that is connected via redstone to several repeaters with different delays; the repeaters, in turn, will be connected to music blocks. When you press the button, several sounds will be played. I also installed a library in the castle - a lot bookcases three blocks high. In recent Minecraft versions Spawner eggs appeared that allow you to spawn mobs, so I let people into the castle. In a recent photo, he appeared, which can be tamed and turned into a cat. So I let about two dozen cats into the castle.

In the popular and widespread game Minecraft, castles are one of the most functional, useful and irreplaceable elements.

This is external greatness, and beauty, and good protection from enemies, from the dangerous outside world, and any threats from the outside.

Why is it so important to build a castle in Minecraft?

Having built a castle, the gamer will be able to place in it everything he needs to survive. Reliable shelter over your head in Minecraft:

Serves to preserve accumulated property;

Protects against aggressive mobs;

Allows you to fight effectively.

By the beauty, skillful construction and richness of the structure, one can conclude who created it. Many gamers strive to build a very large castle, which allows them to increase their own reputation.

Pros and cons of buildings

Castles in Minecraft have their pros and cons. Among positive characteristics of this building:

Good level of protection achieved thanks to strong building materials;

Possibility to place any valuables on the territory;

Player status.

Among the disadvantages is the complexity of the process of erecting such buildings.

Each Minecrafter will need a large amount of resources, good terrain and enough space to build his own castle. The construction process is complicated by the constant appearance of creepers in the dungeons of the fortresses.

Stages of building a castle

The construction of a castle in Minecraft is carried out in several stages. On initial stage it is necessary to understand and imagine what kind of structure it will be.

It is best to find a picture or view existing castles built by other players. It is recommended to find a special texture package to decorate the structure.

At the next stage, a diagram of the building is created in horizontal projection mode. Provide and calculate the location of the main and back entrances, watchtowers, create a diagram of the courtyard.

Once you've created a sketch, move on to a full-scale image. Evaluate it, reveal the shortcomings and correct them.

You should not make the castle square or rectangular. It's too primitive. A figure one with decorative elements will look much more majestic, impressive and impressive.

How more types materials you use, the more extravagant your fortress will look.

There are two types of towers in Minecraft:

Open;

Hidden under the roof.

It is better to build the first ones from cobblestones and stones, so that they are durable and do not break at the first hit of an enemy shell. It is advisable to place flags and catapults at the top of the towers. Closed type towers are built to house a library or laboratory.

Having decided on the materials, proceed to installing the bulwarks, applying windows, textures, and decorating the selected elements. It is not recommended to skimp on details. Think through the design of your fortress down to the smallest detail. This may be very useful to you in the future.

Be sure to create surveillance and reinforcement points within the walls. Select the position of the windows depending on interior design fortresses More windows means more light. Since your building obviously cannot be one-story, you need to think about where to arrange the stairs.

Forming the roof is the penultimate stage of building a castle in Minecraft. Experienced gamers recommend making it in the form of a triangle, but this is only a recommendation. Whoever likes it the most builds it that way. The main thing is that it is not higher than the level of the towers, otherwise their presence will be of no use - the roof will block the view.

The last step in creating your castle is allocating the yard area. The emphasis is on landscaping the space. If space allows, you can install fountains, create items to repair walls, build guard housing, or erect some nice gallows around the perimeter. Your own fortress is ready!
