Thanks! I got a burst of energy so I wanted to get it done. Then I can move onto the detailing phase.

Nice! Maybe you can make a telescope pointing out of it with non oxidized copper

Thanks!

That’s a good idea thanks! I was thinking of doing something like that so that might be a better location for it.

I watched a video about this and the game does look strikingly similar in every biome and mechanic. There are seed-based voxel games that manage to do things differently like Valheim. However, I found it ironic that they did not sue Hytale yet.

well medieval people loved churches. Look at Cambridge. There are dozens of them. So cant go wrong with multiple ones. And traditionally the royalty would have their own services exclusively from commoners but of course your world does not have to adhere to those rules. And if you already have a cathedral then it makes sense not to repeat the build. House of Lords would be cool but to me that does not really seem like a castle though definitely an administrative building. So maybe I misunderstood what you wanted. I say try it out in creative mode first and use real world pics to help you perhaps. Good luck!

You could design it like a Norman castle perhaps? Sounds like that real life version

then I think it makes sense to have a decent size throne room, because they would need to have guests from the settlement to solve disputes and problems and messengers from other kingdoms. Maybe make some hallways and rooms? Norman castles liked to have the throne room at the top of the castle but others had it differently. Many castles were also living quarters so they would have things like bedrooms, servants quarters, barracks, kitchen, great hall (for feasting), library, even a blacksmith and place of worship etc.

I replaced the power button and battery on my android phone. Managed to fix it by watching YouTube tutorials.

I have more pics of it on another PC. I am on my laptop right now. I might post them tomorrow. Well my throne room was quite open plan but I added pillars and archways. Also filled up the space with some fish tanks and chairs and tables. I wanted it to be more open because it was meant to be grand and overwhelming. More like the interior of a palace rather than a castle though the outside is more like a castle. Not sure how to explain it. Depends what type of castle you are making? Is it purely defensive? If so, then nothing wrong with having a smaller room maybe two or three chunks wide?

Other people have been recommending other apps and websites like Stoat and Team Speak though I am sure that a new app will use this opportunity to go viral.

There are different floors on the inside with lots of rooms and hallways like a throne room, art gallary, TONS of armour stands. Had to grind for ages. But it was fun.

Guilty! lol, I have to plant a good crop field or two.

Thanks! I agree for sure. I definitely think castles are one of the best things you can make. I always lean towards medieval fantasy style and always have to build a good castle. Not a huge fan of modern builds. The roof was the hardest part cause at first I used lapis blocks for it but then I realized that would take too long even though I traded with dozens of clerics. So I think I used concrete for the roof and maybe wool.

Looks fantastic! Very cosy. Perhaps you could place snow blocks and snow layers on teh roof? Maybe some berry bushes and rose bushes for a pop of colour.

Good that there are alternatives but I bet that won’t last for long. More and more apps will copy this.

Thanks! It was fun to make though the blades were tedious lol. I came up with the design at the last minute.

Fair enough, that makes sense.

I hope there is a mass exodus from discord!

Have you read the Expanse? I watched the show but heard the books are really good!
