3/25 Blog 1: The different styles of building

 This week, I learned some new styles of building in Minecraft. I also tried some of them out.

"Modern"

"Towns like"

"Overgrown"

Even though I have been playing Minecraft for years, I realized how hard it was to build a house without a guide, tutorial, or picture. Throughout this process, I learned that building roofs was one of the things on the harder side. In the past, I would normally build a roof in the shape of an upside-down V like this: /\. However, Minecraft building has evolved and new forms of roofs have been starting to appear. So, that is my goal for the next blog checkpoint (to learn the different types of roofs and how to build them). I also had some trouble with the exterior, as I found myself building bare walls with just windows. However, in the "overgrown" house, I tried to use cobblestone walls to accentuate the stone in the house. Through my research, I have found many types of building styles. Overgrown, modern, cottagecore, city, beach, treehouse, bridges, nomadic, mansions, mountain bases, floating islands, medieval, castles, and more. The list is basically endless as Minecraft has endless possibilities. However, some styles stick out to me more than others. The styles that stick out to me the most would be cottagecore, beach, floating islands, modern, and bridges. Throughout this week, I learned that Minecraft has a lot to do with architecture. Sure, you can build a box and call it a house, but in order for it to look decent and sustainable, you have to use architecture you use in real life. So, my goal for the next week is to look at the different types of roofs and build them without a guide.
