As a Japanese person, it looks like you got Japanese and Chinese architecture confused. They are similar but also very different. Our castles are almost always black and white, but sometimes our temples are more colorful, whereas Chinese castles can be quite loud.
1. Main critique of your first castle is that you wouldn't put your main keep on the easy to reach section. This is because castles work with the concept of redundancy. When one set of defenses fail, you have another to fall back on. Ideally those defenses are good against people from outside, but bad against people from inside. With your castle the main keep is easy to assault, so you would end up giving your assailants a big keep to camp in while sieging you.
I think the red accents are so popular in depictions of Japanese castles is because it is actually relatively common in Chinese architecture, which is relatively similar to Japanese style, to the point where the two seem to have mixed in (Western) popular culture. In real life, the two styles influenced each other a lot of course.
I would love to see an even bigger version of the first design. Was more of a big wall than a full on castel, but maybe i'm just spoiled by all the exeptional minecraft content
I see "not for survival" and I think "just watch me". The challenge of making something massive and difficult in survival, and especially in hardcore, is what captures my interest the most
I tried almost every one in survival, failed miserably at the dwarf style because i just got sick of mining tons of stone to make the underground fortress. What really inspired me was the Orc fortress, mostly because it's mesa friendly and I am in love with the mesa biome. Will try it out!
Honestly, my favorite build was the first one, the valley castle. I would so so love to see a castle like this again on your channel, SO DON'T PONDER about making something unique, make something you enjoy! Castles and stone structures from real life have more of a charm because they contain complex and simple ratios that are aesthetically pleasing, and that's what sold it for me with this build. You just got a free subscrible from me!
I think its because when people build Japanese Castles they get a bit of inspiration from Chinese builds. Japanese builds feel like their more Chinese than Japanese.
You just hacked yourself onto my list of subscribed channels, I don't know who you are and I've never seen your videos. But somehow I'm subscribed to you
So survival friendly is a word thrown around a lot, but really it varies person to person. Anyone that has enough patience can build anything in survival
My personal favorites in terms of styles would probably be the japanese and the dwarven one, since I'm a huge fan of japanese architecture, as well as a huge Lotr and Hobbit fan, which basically made me a huge dwarven fan since I was young. In terms of actual looks of the buildings you've made in this video, I actually like the valley castle the most. Although I personally would make some adjustments to it to fit my personal style, I absolutely love the idea and the way the mountains in the background make it stand out. As you've said, on a flat terrain it would probably look a lot worse but I really love the way it fits into the landscape and could imagine it being surrounded by lots of forests and farmland, like a small estate lord having his castle near the river to oversee all the farming activies and the trade. All in all, great video as always and I hope you'll get rid of that creative block and find a awesome project to pour your heart and soul into again!
thank you! yeah the valley castle was fun to make, and you could definitely do a similar style that doesn’t span a valley, but you would just have to change a ton of things about the style to make it fit. it would be way too tall as it is now, which means a lot of the proportions would need to be adjusted.
I was going to mention the terrain looks nothing like I get in my survival world, but then read the comments. Such an impressive backdrop to add to your quality builds.
red and blue = chinese castle black and white = japanese castle lots of smaller buildings with shorter tower = chinese castle one big tower = japanese castle
When i see all these pc builds i always envy the time saving tools like copy paiste and terrain building that us console players dont have acces too at that extent
These builds are a certified hood classic, they will help me get very rizzy and get lots of gyatt. Thank you Mr sigma for helping me find new content for my edge playlist 🥰🥰🥰
I'd love to see you do a Dark Souls style medieval castle. I was working on one where every new wall layer's platform extended backwards untill it reached the next wall layer, and I think it honestly looked amazing. I'd be intrested to see another person's thoughts on building like that
Dude please please please. Do a gaea quadspinner tutorial for minecraft, that is hands down no exaggeration the best terrarin I have ever seen and its something I desperately want to achieve!
Can you start an Orc fortress inspired map? Doesn't have to be all Orc style but I like the theme of it, hastily cobbled together. Really good job. 👍👍👍
Yeah i've too had a orcish project, everything was fine until i opened in minecraft the world i just did in worldpainter and tried to do some test builds then get to pmc to find some more inspiration and just realized nobody had build a single orcish map in like the past 10 years and well long story short i did find some interesting ideas but definitely not enough to do on a large scale project and just gave up now it's on my to do list for like 1y or so...
it’s really surprising too, i thought there would be a lot more fantasy builds out there, but even more popular fantasy styles like dwarven and elven are pretty rare in minecraft. basically no one has done anything in an orcish style. good luck with your own project!
Personally, a terrain dependency is always an upside for me. I really like adapting the build's layout and architecture to the landscape, very rarely resorting to terraforming or building on a flat grounds. This way the unique design ideas come naturally, and the whole builds ends up having their "personalities".
Amazing builds, but sorry, it's cheating to showcase your skill with such a fantastic terrain when Mojang gives us this: /???\______🌊______🌳🌳 (flat and plains biome)
I would defenetly like a tutorial of this map in world painter. I am curently making my own map for survival with the boys but my budy told me to make the map 10000 by 10000 blocks big, so it's kind of a mammoth task. Though i am struggling to make it diverse and get World Painter to behave as I'd like it to. The style and details of this map are defenetly what I'd like to go with, but i have no idea how to achieve this. Just a quick tutorial on how to make those rivers, snow in between the mountain ridges and steps on the mountansides would help me so much. At the verry least I'd like to know what brushes you used for the terrain. That would already make my day and save my map from misery. :D
i have some brushes on my patreon that i’ve made in gaea, they have terraces like the ones in this map. but this map was actually made entirely in gaea, with snowfall simulated in gaea, which is why it looks so precise and natural. it’s hard to get snow as accurate as this when just using worldpainter.
I have built various Japanese castles, and accompanying structures. Very nice. However, its not impossible to be more conservative with materials for construction. Lots of wood available, and red blocks are big plus haha
10:40 The red probably wore off, like how the majority of medieval stone castles were white, but the white’s worn off. And how marble statues of Rome and Greece, and marble buildings, were once painted.
Bleh, these castles are kinda boring. Minecraft castles all suck! 🤢🤮 Now pin me. As a builder, it really hurt me to write the above blasphemous nonsense.
The reason most Japanese castles have a white wash has to do with consolidation after the warring states period. White and black is the color scheme the royal family uses as their standard and as the country moved away from feudalistic control towards a more federal system it effected the nature of castle design. Clan lords that accepted the rule of the emperor/shogun would be allowed to keep one of their clan keeps colored in their own style, typically their largest or home castle, but all others they owned where expected to be seceded to the emperor. Needless to say if a clan didnt give up their castles and submit, they would be destroyed. After a few centuries due to the many earthquakes that plague the country, fires that drastically damaged the majority wooden construction and a general ban on constructing or repairing castles without express permission from the court ment that nearly all non imperial castles are gone. I remember reading in the same book that only around 10-20% of the imperial castles survive all the way from unification past ww2 into modern day. Even less of the individualistic designed ones due to these codes.
OMG my dream map. i tried to make my own using worldpainter for months already but srsly I'm so bad at it and ended up remake everything over and over again bcos I'm not happy with the result. thanks for the amazing video and incredible map!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
On the topic of surviving Japanese castles being very black and white - compared to art you may have seen. I was always under the impression that the bright reds and blues in sengoku era art was inspired by Chinese art style rather than Japanese architectural style. Would love if any experts are in the comments to correct me!
Hey. Be careful with how you make your content. I don't want to see another channel fall into mediocre clickbait and spam. Great work so far, don't let it go to waste.
Honestly the japanese style is the easiest to build, just watch a tutorial and you're done i mean it isn't even a castle is just the standard japanese tutorial house but bigger. European house and castles are much harder for me and even more unique. Also i don't think you should consider the enginering problem in a fantasy build made by orcs, it doesn't make any sense. Nice builds but i think you are wrong in a lot of points even if you build well
How do you find a fitting bould style for a beginner, the things I got where way to abstract for me to begin or work with, and if I ask how to get inspired I get 'use google or pinster' It is nearly impossible for me to bould beyond a block by block guide and using a difrent colour pallet or making it 16 long insteaf of 18 long
Imo your Japanese castle could’ve benefitted from trying to replicate more of the things seen in real Japanese castles, and some off axis aspects as well. I think you missed the mark on the design language of Japanese castles and made more of a fantasy Asian castle. Check out models of takeda castle for a good example of how their defensive aspects can look.
This almost looks like 1 build. The valley castle is the defensive entrance to this area nestled in the corner of the valley. The orc castle looks scary cuz that is the barracks n training facility for the offensive army n they need to learn how to build temporary forts on the fly so they r always rebuilding their castle for practice. The Japanese castle is the religious temple up the mountain. The Dwarven castle entrance is the entrance to a vast mine n the generic castle is the storehouse for said mined resources n for food. All u need is an ornate tower for the kingdom’s leader to live in n some cottages for the villagers to live in, n some farms n fields for them to tend.
The survival castle is still very big and uses blocks that won't be easy to find in the early game. Deepslate takes lots of time to find and mine deep underground. I have never found dead coral and forgot it was a thing before watching this video. The scale and materials would make this closer to a later game or creative build. The Japanese castle was my favourite, however. The oxidized copper for the green roofs was a genius move. 🏯

No way did I just click on this video and randomly get mentioned at 4:26 🤣 that's Epic, nice builds dude!
qus up
Hey there, hope that you are doing good (:
No way, the legend himself is here. How’s it going bro
What's up bro?
thanks! i figured if i’m gonna do an orc build, i gotta at least mention the only other creator to do one lol
Geek builds i really enjoy your videos
As a Japanese person, it looks like you got Japanese and Chinese architecture confused. They are similar but also very different. Our castles are almost always black and white, but sometimes our temples are more colorful, whereas Chinese castles can be quite loud.
As a Chinese I second this. The castle he built definitely looks more Chinese than Japanese
Really appreciate that you consider the survival aspects, I constantly find unfriendly builds while looking for inspiration but yours are perfect
yeah i don’t usually consider survival in my builds but for a video like this it seemed important
@@GeetBuilds what is the texture pack and shaders used in the video? it looks amazing
@@jb_028 no texture pack, photon shaders
worst comment is getting pinned, be careful
"Worst comment gets pinned" proceeds to pin own comment 😂
You played yourself
thanks!
hello
Geet sucks. Cmon that’s gotta be the worst.
1. Main critique of your first castle is that you wouldn't put your main keep on the easy to reach section.
This is because castles work with the concept of redundancy. When one set of defenses fail, you have another to fall back on. Ideally those defenses are good against people from outside, but bad against people from inside. With your castle the main keep is easy to assault, so you would end up giving your assailants a big keep to camp in while sieging you.
I totally agree the orc style building is not practiced much by content creators, so it was cool to see it. Love that color palette too!
yeah very fun style
I think the red accents are so popular in depictions of Japanese castles is because it is actually relatively common in Chinese architecture, which is relatively similar to Japanese style, to the point where the two seem to have mixed in (Western) popular culture. In real life, the two styles influenced each other a lot of course.
I would love to see an even bigger version of the first design.
Was more of a big wall than a full on castel, but maybe i'm just spoiled by all the exeptional minecraft content
yeah a lot more could be added to it, but it was already pretty big and seemed outside the scope of this video to keep adding on to it.
I see "not for survival" and I think "just watch me". The challenge of making something massive and difficult in survival, and especially in hardcore, is what captures my interest the most
I tried almost every one in survival, failed miserably at the dwarf style because i just got sick of mining tons of stone to make the underground fortress. What really inspired me was the Orc fortress, mostly because it's mesa friendly and I am in love with the mesa biome. Will try it out!
yeah dwarven just has too much going on for survival imo. good luck with your build!
Honestly, my favorite build was the first one, the valley castle. I would so so love to see a castle like this again on your channel, SO DON'T PONDER about making something unique, make something you enjoy!

I thought the generic castle was really pleasing, it’s so simple but it looks great, def a cool survival base
I think its because when people build Japanese Castles they get a bit of inspiration from Chinese builds.
Japanese builds feel like their more Chinese than Japanese.
I swear this is the greatest thumbnail on youtube, I click on it everytime I see it
Ameazing video l really like all the castles and if possible can you do some world painter videos too
thanks! didn’t seem like there was a ton of interest in them but i might put something like that up on patreon
You just hacked yourself onto my list of subscribed channels, I don't know who you are and I've never seen your videos. But somehow I'm subscribed to you
yeah i cut a deal with youtube to make everyone subscribe to me
So survival friendly is a word thrown around a lot, but really it varies person to person. Anyone that has enough patience can build anything in survival

great video, It would be cool if you subtitled the videos where you speak, the translated languages could be Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish, etc...
"survival friendly" 💀
how did you make these mountains with the steps? also the contrast of stone and snow would interest me
i used gaea quadspinner to do the terrain
All of these are phenomenal. You really should be proud of these accomplishments. Both the castles and the terrain.
thanks! terrains always my favorite part, glad you liked it
red and blue = chinese castle black and white = japanese castle
lots of smaller buildings with shorter tower = chinese castle
one big tower = japanese castle
are these the photon shaders? great video btw! keep it up!
thanks! yeah i’m using photon in this
Now we need an epic medieval fight between the castles with different factions in them!
if you're feeling too much creative block it may be a good idea to take a good long break, we will totally understand you wanting to do that
When i see all these pc builds i always envy the time saving tools like copy paiste and terrain building that us console players dont have acces too at that extent
i love the Asian inspired castle
thanks, glad you liked it!
Can you show us how to make those gradients using world edit?
These builds are a certified hood classic, they will help me get very rizzy and get lots of gyatt. Thank you Mr sigma for helping me find new content for my edge playlist 🥰🥰🥰
I am deeply sorry for writing this
I'm not an expert on chinese or japanese castles but the colour scheme definitely comes out more as chinese than japanese
You mean the orc one?
I'd love to see you do a Dark Souls style medieval castle. I was working on one where every new wall layer's platform extended backwards untill it reached the next wall layer, and I think it honestly looked amazing. I'd be intrested to see another person's thoughts on building like that

Dwarven fortress, cons : not for survival "proceeds to show a door build with 96 blocs of netherit and use hundreds of lodestone"
Very nice builds, I'm honestly impressed. The world is absolutely beautiful as well. Could you provide a download link?
yeah the map with builds is on planetminecraft, and the one without builds is on patreon. links to both are in the description
Can you start an Orc fortress inspired map? Doesn't have to be all Orc style but I like the theme of it, hastily cobbled together. Really good job. 👍👍👍
yeah it’s definitely something i want to do in the future
Yeah i've too had a orcish project, everything was fine until i opened in minecraft the world i just did in worldpainter and tried to do some test builds then get to pmc to find some more inspiration and just realized nobody had build a single orcish map in like the past 10 years and well long story short i did find some interesting ideas but definitely not enough to do on a large scale project and just gave up now it's on my to do list for like 1y or so...

"Simplicity" isn't for everyone :), especially in Survival

what tools/mods did you use to make such big builds? really would like to know:DDD
I like building my castles with functional crenellations and machicolations with arrow slots in the towers
The survival castle is still very big and uses blocks that won't be easy to find in the early game. Deepslate takes lots of time to find and mine deep underground.

Yo anyone know what shaders he’s using? Them clouds to the job for me
This suck!
Since you said worst comment gets pinned so don't take this seriously it's just a joke
I would honestly trade cave generation for overworld generation that looked like the video.
Use two pop filters on your microphone please. Youre S's are sharp and loud
"im just gonna make 5 different castles" bros acting like its a daily thing to do
Would be cool to see white marble being used as the Romans used marble and the greeks.
I really think the orange should’ve stayed in all the builds.
The image of the video took me there, and I absolutely have no regrets.
I have tried your map it's really cool but i think the castle's need an interior
What mods do you use? I like the Look of your minecraft
Japanese style hard and not survival friendly? Bet
Can you make a castle with a huge tower and is so big it covers most of the map?
Mangrove swamps are really hard to find.
4:55 omg i would love if Minecraft
terrain generation looked like that
Oh yeah let me just build an entire fucking castle
These are absolutely incredible
The thumbnail convinced me to stop in the middle of a song to watch this
can u make a patrion to teach how to build or make city tutorials on this yt channel pls
Custom map or did you build it yourself ? Cause it’s really cool
I switched to this video when my mom walked in you know why
Is there a worldpainter tutorial for mountains like that?
now build all of these in survival. castle crafters survival series
im gonna do a bloody orc castle, i was alr looking for something to do in the badlands biome
This dude makes me want to get a fool terrain mod/cool seed and build a castle lol
can i request dracula castle from castlevania: netflix
your game looks really cool. what mods are you using?
That thumbnail got me dude, well played.
These world genaratioms😭
Best thing to do when an artist hits creative block is to go back to basics.
Since Minecraft has blocks, which one would be THE creative block?
whichever one leads you to peace of mind
@@GeetBuilds hmmm... i guess it'd be terracotta blocks or colored glass.
Please what is the seed of that world and the cords of the location? I need this😮
Your castle is very beautiful. I wonder what kind of shaders you have, they are very similar to the real world 😂
download for the valley terrain.. please?
I love the dwarf one even though you put netherite in the first gate
