BONUS LORE: Use this to help with your lore suggestions! Make sure to write your OWN comment below. (Not as a reply on this comment). It makes it easier for me to find later. The Cloudrunner District is the other half of Brassholt. It is the main residence of the Cloudrunners, who are the sailors that operate steampunk airships. They are mainly tasked with transporting goods and protecting the Bank’s interests. Every part of Brassholt is wealthy, but this District varies from the occupants of the Banking Guild. The Bank is inherited, aristocratic wealth, while Cloudrunner fortunes are all earned from scratch. As a result, these sailors are rugged, savvy and hardworking. Hope this helps give you a better idea of the area! I look forward to reading your comments!

Im a writer too, I wish that I could draw my characters and world but Im not an artist. I only ever used gacha to make my characters but downside is that it limits my characters. Thats why I focus more on world building and the stories itself

Storytelling + editing + building makes this probably one of my favorite videos on KZread. I have been watching this series from the start and each video still manages to amaze me. This clearly takes so much talent and is so cool. I hope one day your book will be available to read!

I can't even begin to explain how impressive that is. Also, with all the editing and everything, that's so crazy how people manage to use a game about blocks as a tool to create literal masterpieces.

Everything about this video was crazy good. Not only the build and the dedication but also the storytelling, the jokes and especially the editing. It all came together so well and I really hope more people could see this masterpiece.

im just a uni student, and i dont even play minecraft. but DAMN, i didnt know a block game could be THIS magical just from imagination alone. that's actually crazy!! Your backstory brings life to the builds, youre the most creative person ever!

Lore idea- when the city was in construction the mechs shown in the armoury were used for building the city which had an extra reason, since the guild basically run this city other factions tried to attack before it was built so the mechs could easily engage in combat since they were already all out and activated

@nidhisingla7880

So that could be why the gates were so weak

For the Cloudrunner district there should be another secret organization that works in opposition to the Order of Coin and Cloak so both sides of the city are in a Cold Civil War. It could add a lot of intrigue to the city, and also works because the Cloudrunners earn their fortune while the Banking Guild inherits it. This would provide plenty of area for ideological differences between the two halves of the city even if they work symbiotically.

You truly deserve MUCH more recognition and an audience on KZread. Your projects are some of the most beautiful I've ever seen in Minecraft.

Shovel, as an author (in learning but yea) myself, I have mad respect for you. I wanted to try and build my fantasy world in minecraft too a few years back but I realise that it is impossible for my world because it has multiple universes, realms, dimensions etc. Plus, im not a builder, Im a writer. The fact that you can build such a masterpiece with such lore is amazing! Im sure your story would have been great and I wished there was a way for me to read it but this is great too! I love the builds and the amount of work you put into it. I also admire how much thought you put into the lore. I find it interesting on how you use real world cultures for your world. Mad respect man. I love how you open the table for your fans to pitch their own ideas as well, I will certainly try and do that for my own channel. Keep up the great work, mate! Little note: Please do take care of yourself! Your personal health is important too. Eat healthy, sleep well and make sure to get some fresh air!

It’s so detailed it doesn’t even look like Minecraft, it looks like a fantasy painting

Lore Idea: Having the other side of the city being a poor/poverish slum (in comparison to the other side), might create a cool dystopian type city with interesting political and physical interactions between both sides! You could even add a story of a bank heist where some people from the slums try to steal the great treasure from the massive vault in the bank

@shovel241

4 ай бұрын

Very interesting! That’s kinda where I’m going with it, but less of impoverished and more rugged. All of Brassholt is wealthy, but the Bank side is more inherited, aristocratic wealth. The Cloudrunner District is where the airship sailors (the cloudrunners) live and work. Their wealth is earned, not inherited. Think of it like old money vs. new money

@p8090

4 ай бұрын

That’s a great idea! Adding impoverished slums at the base of the city would fit with the overall narrative of the story. The Alpha’s have been, for the most part, depicted as the antagonist or at least the most powerful of the factions. Hence presenting the largest threat to every other faction. Their empires been built upon aggressive colonialism(the dragon university), and ruthlessly eradicating their enemies(the genocide of the Omegas). The slum area could hold the less…ideal side of the Alpha’s. Places where the nobles come to indulge in drugs, brothels, slave trafficking, gambling, shady dealings, corruption, etc. Or on the other side of the coin, the undesirables are locked away underground. People afflicted or cursed by some incurable magic disease or something of that sort. I literally stumbled upon this channel yesterday and binge watched all the mega build videos so I don’t fully know how “safe” or family friendly you want to keep the content, but I think it would be an amazing addition to the fantasy world you’ve created so far. Making a large impoverished area would create more creative opportunities for lore development and building. Drawing inspiration from Arcane as well, you could do something similar to Zaun. Another really interesting area I think you could look at is the sewer area (subterranean shunning grounds) under the Leyndell capital from the game Elden Ring.

Hello! I just found this channel and saw some of your build and they are absolutely incredible! I am so sad I did not find it sooner. You are an inspiration to anyone who wants to make minecraft their job, and also to those who just have a creative mind but are scared to take that leap(like myself). You're doing great and I can't wait to see more of you amazing builds in the future!

You could make a city out of a giant sword sticking out of the ground.

"I have to get a real job" "NOOOOOOOO" Had me rofl🤣🤣🤣

I was literally only 3 minutes in and bro was just pulling out the most impressive building I’ve ever seen in my life

By far your best work in my opinion by far, absolutely amazing build and even better editing. Going to take lots of inspo from this build style for when I get my survival world started up when I start streaming loving the steampunk with blue glass theme looks amazing.

Every time I try to build ANYTHING in Minecraft, I always have to constantly remind myself to hold off on detailing until I finish shaping.

I really feel like a wealthy city like this should have some underground slums with people that did not manage to keep up and that are leeching off of the rich people above (Yes, I also like Arcane). This could be combined with a sewer system and some underground caves. Maybe the magical runes in the mountains reach in here as well and can be used to power some contraptions that the underpeople built. The assassins of the Order of Coin and Cloak would have some bearing on what is going on down there, but I like the idea of a new society forming that aims to undermine the power that order has over the city. They would have spies in the city that constantly try to find out what the plans of the Order are, and if they can interfere in any way. It doesn't seem like this is likely to work tho :). Awesome video!

Them being called “Alphas” actually fits so well. In wolf packs, the alphas are actually the parents of all other wolves in the pack (unless they’ve recruited rogues) They’re also highly favored and respected!

I love how at 0:53 Shovel literally took an extra 10-20 minutes to make an Among Us character just for a 2 second joke, really shows the hilarious amount of dedicated overkill he's put into this video

Shovel, your videos are so fricking inspiring. I‘m writing a book, and cause of your fantastic and giantic builds, i can feel the fantasy flow through my body way better. Just thanks for that damn good videos

Imagine if a bunch of developers came together to start making a new mmorpg game with the maps you create. Honestly would be amazing especially with the lore "pre-made" by you.

This should really be turned into one of those Minecraft storys(I would so watch it!!), but tbh this deserves to be an actual tv show👏👏👏

I love building this team is so incredible that it makes my inspiration go wild but when i realised how long it takes to just build 2 unique houses insane how much skill and effort goes into these

I absolutely adore these videos you're making!! I've been following the series so far and I honestly can't wait to see what the Cloudrunner District looks!!!!! I also have a suggestion for the next build you do afterwards; I genuinely LOVED the lore behind the Fleafolk and how you built the Dirt Clan, so I was wondering if you could build one of the other Clans. It doesn't have to be a specific one, any of them will do!!! I JUST LOVED THE FLEAFOLK LORE!!!!! YOU DO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

Just this city alone would be one of the coolest server hubs for a Minecraft rpg server. Amazing work!

Why don’t you hire someone to code in an entire story to this map, or do it yourself? This map and cities really remind me of God of War, and a whole story mode in this map would be so fire. You can also get KZreadrs to play it and promote it as well! Just something to think about

LORE: The assassins are very good at their job, so good that there is a group of powerful assassins that don't have any identity, they are only known in legend. when someone is added to this group, they are wiped from history along with those who knew them. these people are usually innately talented with Shadow Magic (I have half a page of writing about shadow magic if you want it)

Lore: The cloudrunner district has a sacred and heavily protected farm that store dream-like animals made out of clouds. They used to say these animals can produce sky milk which makes people have wings.

absolutely fantastic! epic story telling the details given to the buildings is insane

His story telling + editing skills are immaculate

Awe inspiring. So, so cool. As a survival player, these tools are just beyond. The literal only suggestion I have is a bit more time at the end to fly over/through to give us a real chance to appreciate the final product, instead of each piece being shown only as it is being built and decorated. Love the dedication, aesthetic and creativity

This is a idea for the Fleafolk continuation if your still on it. Its for the Hive Nation. The Hivekin is a branch of the Fleafolk race, that lives in a beehive city, also known as Apiaria or The Hive Nation. Located in a large willow tree in the central part of the Alphalaum country. They live deep into the tree, to not be seen by larger beings. The Hive Nation is well-known for creating a hard and thick substance called Nectarium. Which can be almost impossible to break through, making it extremely good structures and buildings, as well as tools. There are 3 types of rank within the Hivekin people, known as, The Royal Nectarians, who are the ruling class, chosen for their wisdom and connection to the mystical energies of the hive. They oversee governance and maintain the balance between the hive and the surrounding natural elements. Honeyweavers, skilled artisans, and architects are responsible for crafting intricate structures from Nectarium and managing the overall aesthetic harmony of the hive city. The backbone of the hive city, they gather pollen from the surrounding mystical flora, tend to the hive's gardens, and ensure the sustenance of the entire community. The city is always bustling with activity day and night. The queen resides in the heart of Apiaria, called the Royal Comb, a royal chamber where the queen can watch the entire city below. - "Apiaria" is derived from "apiary," which is a place where bees are kept or a collection of beehives. It reflects the connection to bees and the idea of a city within a beehive-like environment. This is just an idea, feel free to use it if you want some time. ^^ (Also like add some like of flying wings like a elytra, for some scouts to go out and collect honey, like their honey scouts and sneak to take the honey without being scene, like a group of these fully-trained soldiers/scouts Hivekin people, go and scavenge for ingredients and resources or something like that.)

The editing, story, builds and eveything was amazing, you deserve way more subs

Lore Idea: I think a cool addition could be a sky tavern with places to dock incoming ships, as a place to meet old friends, make new ones, and potentially create new trade opportunities

I am speechless. Never have I seen such precision in mega builds like these. I also immensely admire the implementation of lore in your videos. Shovel, your content is amazing, keep up the amazing work. You deserve way more! Recommendation : Since this is a partly steampunk-styled mega build, I think that blimps could be a wonderful detail to add in the world. (This also screams Piltover, and I'm a huge arcane fan xD)

I'm way late to the party but upon finally getting around to watching it my cat showed more interest in this video than half her toys 😂 fantastic editing and building, you're so creative and dedicated!

i absolutely love the small details in all of the stories. i think i just found my favorite minecraft channel

He should get some one to make a magic mod for him based on his videos, the book and the lore. So that when he eventually releases the mod he will be able to play with the actual magic.

WHAT!?!!! Dude, this is my first vid of yours I've seen. Its awsome! And like how do you not have morr subscribers?!?! Telling all my friends about you.

I think you should really have lots of small village houses on little stilts by the river because it’s going through the two civilisations and if there is any tension or conflict between the two villages have the fishermen be a poorer race not wanting to be stuck between the two or manipulated by the cloaks and coins, love the videos it is absolutely amazing!

Lore idea for my favorite youtuber: For the airship area, maybe there could be an arsenal in the center of the airship docks that includes things such as innovative prototypes, training areas for elytra warriors, and maybe even an outer ring with a course for apprentice airship flyers that includes fun obstacles. I also think it would be interesting to include repurposed airships for the Cloudrunner district, seeing as they created a life from nothing. They could have repurposed blimp canvases for pavilions, a scrapyard, and even ground transportation made using the engines and gears of the blimps (maybe a metro or train system to fit with the steampunk idea). Keep up the good work, man!

Lore idea: the order of coin and shadow have hidden bases in every city and town, even in places that most don’t know about. They also could have some special magic items, such as concealment cloaks. Also, the castle on the other side of the river could be more of a place to stay for the rich and powerful than for just a singular family and their servants.

Outstanding building! New Sub right here. I've been on-and-off working on an Airship in survival that would fit right in with a build like this. I don't think it would be completely dwarfed either as it's 325 blocks long. It is very much a work in progress but I had ideas to build all sorts of things into the large Airship. It's got a bridge, a sky deck kinda thing on top of the balloon, three engine rooms, a workshop, a large cargo bay big enough to build survival farms in, crew quarters, guest cabins, signal flare launchers (fireworks) plus a whole bunch of other things. Watching your video is very much inspiring me to actually attempt to finish my own build.

To be honest, you’re one of the best builders ever!

"This was supposed to be a bench." This is how I feel when I try to right a short story. Always ends up bigger than I planned.

I have a lore suggestion: for the omegas, they split into twelve groups, each with their own set of unique powers. They are: wisdom, strength, fire, water, earth, air, time, death, life, storm, reality, and finally, a very rare group were the only ones able to wield the insanely powerful magic that they posses, because if anyone else even was able to attain such magic, when they would use it, they would wither away and die. However, each group comes with their own weaknesses, too (to keep the balance of nature intact).

Lore Idea: There is some underground tunnels or markets where the sailors come and hang out after their travels. The Weathly usually avoid this part of town as it is sketchy but its common for these sailors to come hang out and have a place to live. It can definitely show the diversion between the weathly and the poor. Have a rich side of town that everyone see's but when you dive deeper there is the rugged, dirty part of the town

It's always a treat to see one of your builds!
