me_myself_and_I OP ,

I am unemployed, lol. I just finished university and am staying with my parents until I find a job. I have applied for over 100 jobs and had 4 interviews, even a trial day. But it's hard to find a job in this economy!

me_myself_and_I OP ,

Gotta start somewhere!

me_myself_and_I OP ,

Thanks! I will keep sharing it every now and then :)

me_myself_and_I OP ,

You are correct, lol. Dartmoor really looks like the Shire or Rohan to me.

me_myself_and_I OP ,

Thanks!

me_myself_and_I OP ,

Ok, thanks I will try to add variety. I like the similarity but I guess people do prefer some detail.

me_myself_and_I OP ,

I wanted to keep it simple and not overload the details. It's a small room so it would feel too busy too much colour. But I might try copper bars instead of oak fences. And maybe different bushes, many thanks.

me_myself_and_I OP ,

Never heard of Herault carpets. I only play on Vanilla. But I will try different textures perhaps. I find that candles flicker and dissapear in screenshots. Only good for seeing up close.

me_myself_and_I OP ,

Glad I am not the only one who is confused about that! I never heard of that before. Maybe they are playing modded?

me_myself_and_I OP ,

Thanks, dark oak might be better for the throne room. I did make a platform for it but it looks kind of out of place I guess. And there's not much room in the hallway for it. I might change the chandeliers so I can make a bigger htrone. Maybe just hang the lanterns spaced out along the beams. I was also considering to add some banners or paintings. I will definitely add more texture to the floor and walls. It looks a bit dull. Might try a mangrove floor to match the red carpet. Outlining the carpet is a good idea and would definitely help tie it together with the throne. I appreciate the advice! I will try it out.

me_myself_and_I OP ,

You are correct that they don't look good but I wanted blocks that are easily farmable. You would not notice them anyway because I take screenshots from far away. I might try lanterns but making end rods is slightly expensive and in my opinion it looks a bit modern. But thanks for the advice! :) I will consider other stuff like maybe shroom lights or frog lights instead. Might have to make a frog light farm. Plus, there are dark oak fences so that kind of obscures the blocks. Good idea though. I will try out different things.

me_myself_and_I OP ,

Thanks! I did take inspiration from Norman castles so glad you like it. I thought of adding some fountains because it does need more water. But it's kind of on a hill so not sure if a moat would look good or not? But I might try that out and see. Its' a cool idea and would let me make a drawbridge since there is a gatehouse already.

me_myself_and_I OP ,

I never farm witches, lol. But yeah they are cause they require going to the Nether. And chorus fruits are not fully AFK-able. You have to manually place them. Plus I still think they clash too much with the build style since I am going for a medieval style. But I might use lantern or shroom lights.

me_myself_and_I OP , (edited )

Ok thanks I will try it and see and thansk for the idea. I love welsh castles. I went to Castell Rhuddlan and Beeston Castle. Well Beeston is technically not a Welsh castle but close enough lol.

me_myself_and_I OP ,

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

me_myself_and_I ,

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

me_myself_and_I ,

Maybe you could use a different block like pale oak or iron blocks? Observatories would have large telescopes poking through. But fair enough.

me_myself_and_I OP ,

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

me_myself_and_I ,

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.

me_myself_and_I OP ,

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.

me_myself_and_I OP ,

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

me_myself_and_I OP ,

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.

me_myself_and_I OP ,

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?

me_myself_and_I OP ,

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.

me_myself_and_I OP ,

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

me_myself_and_I OP ,

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!

me_myself_and_I OP ,

Thanks!

me_myself_and_I ,

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

me_myself_and_I OP ,

I love reading, mainly fantasy though lately manga and webtoon etc. What genre do you read? I never got into Gameboy but would be cool to play older games one day.

me_myself_and_I OP ,

Thanks!

me_myself_and_I OP ,

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

me_myself_and_I OP ,

Fair enough, that makes sense.

me_myself_and_I OP ,

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

me_myself_and_I ,

I hope there is a mass exodus from discord!

me_myself_and_I ,

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

me_myself_and_I ,

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.

me_myself_and_I ,

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.

me_myself_and_I ,

I was talking about the companies Palantir and Anduril. Whoever chose those names are not true Lord of the Rings fans because even though they used names from Lord of the Rings they should know that Tolkien would never have approved of it. Thus, they are not Lord of the Rings fans but rather are just using the names for clickbait purposes. To me personally a tech bro indicates a more casual, nonprofessional - someone who is interested in tech as a hobby. They might do bit coin mining or some casual stock investment but they are not big corporate overlords like those who run Palantir and Anduril. Though of course I could be generalizing too.

Something that occurred to me while watching Lord of the Rings.

The fact that it takes forever to watch all three movies is part of the charm for me, and I think it is for others. It is something of a commitment that has to be planned for. I think it's similar to the tactile slowness of listening to a vinyl album vs. just pulling the songs up on your phone. The length of the movies ...

One thing I find funny is that everyone says that LOTR is too long to watch but then they will happily binge a whole Netflix TV Show or two in one sitting!
