I don’t think you should get your ideas for building from other Minecraft builders.   Like, yes they’re good to look at to see what styles other people build in, but ultimately they developed that style through practice, and…   References references references!! 🧵

- Movies you like the aesthetic of plus set design - Architectural styles like Brutalist or Art Nouveau - Countries or better yet, cities. Tokyo, Prague, York etc - Buildings eg Sidney Opera House, The Forbidden Place etc. - Museum collections! Often these are royalty free

I often have pureref open on my other monitor when I’m building in Minecraft, it helps to see other builds I’ve designed and my reference images.

Also don’t rely on algorithms to feed you good references or inspiration - algorithm not friend, algorithm gobble attention. Start building your own library, organise it however you want, but I find it useful to keep a txt file in my folders to give proper credit to artist.

I’ve been extremely inspired by everything @snifferish.bsky.social is doing at the moment!   I’m shockingly awful at building trees and terrain, but I’m hoping that I can learn from others and get really good at it in this next season of Truly Bedrock!

After streaming consistently for a year for the first time in my life, I’ve learnt some things 🧵

It’s okay to take a break, or take time for yourself. I built streaming consistency over a large span of time, but everyone gets sick or tired sometimes. You don’t have to work yourself to death, no one will thank you for it. Everyone does actually want the best for you.

It’s okay if your ideas are too big, and you have to change them. I set myself an ambitious goal of creating optical illusions for my base, but I never did them. I don’t feel sad about this, because I actually did finish my base, even if it looks different from my original idea!

I wanted to challenge myself to create a video of a massive project. 20+ hours of footage and many streams later, I give you The End on @trulybedrock.com SMP. I took a YEAR to build my base...

Forgot to post this this morning 😅See you tonight, then I’ll be back for Truly Bedrock Stream Weekend!
