If you guys don’t wanna do a full custom house just make a prebuilt building and addon to your likings. I’ve done that with my village I’m making and just add some touches here and there to make it look different from the other buildings. It makes a huge difference. Also make street signs out of the small paintings or to indicate a store or shop. Realism in a village is key so your village can upgrade and be to tier needs

I wish you could move structures and pieces once built, its such a pain to destroy to move one piece if you make a mistake and then accidentally destroy something else… building with legos isnt supposed to be that stressful!

Great vid, the foundations are so frustrating, I would love a plan mode where i could place blueprint blocks and see if the build works and then once its good use materials to build it!!!

they need to add option after you set the project down have npc build it for you

I think once you know what you're doing, it's very easy to navigate. But you're right, it does take some thinking, I guess that's why they added blueprints to the game. But it 100% needs more work and more content. Example being you should be able to "nudge" objects up and down too, so foundations stick into the ground without having to use blueprints.

I give up on the foundation every single time. The building doesn’t have to be this difficult. Even on the blueprint houses some of the pieces refuse to snap into place. I did learn some things from this video but ultimately I hope they fix the building soon

Thanks for this! I needed these tips!

10:45 For the roof gables you are supposed to put them aligned to the walls not "overhanging" in that way u put those snapping into the big normal roof pieces, that is why we have different sizes of normal roof pieces like pleasant roof 01, 02, 03 and 04

The shorter corner piece is for internal walls, it's 2 plates shorter which is the height of the floor.

You can snap the stairs to the foundation, allowing the use of the actual stairs. Then if you stand at the top of the stairs and look down where the bottom of the staircase is (underground), you can add railing as well. Although it can look weird sometimes, sticking through the ground

Nice tips. I was hoping to find out why I seem to have trouble snapping the starter roof pieces and I'm just going to give up an assume they're not supposed to be extended more than once. huge pain in the ass, so basically don't start trying to build anything until you get the next roofs opened up, Rustic Roofs I think

The small notches on top of some walls are so annoying... They don't even have a purpose, because it's perfectly fine to lay floors on top of them anyway. Not only do they prevent inner walls from snapping into place, but also stairs. I literally can't have a staircase right next to a log window unless I nudge the problematic walls slightly outwards, thus creating a gap on the upper floor... Gotta figure it out somehow, but the tip with doing the interior first is already helping a lot!

can I build the building as wide as I want and still get the roof to fit? Something is off with my build. :S

First off, nice house. I never tried in Sandbox but it would be almost impossible to build in survival unless you waste a ton of resources to go around (like you did to build the walls on the first floor). The overall of the game is quite fun but building compared to any other survival game is just horrible.

Skill issue. just farm for 20-30 minutes and you’ll have enough stone and wood to build this

how can we unlock other foundations other than the basic 3 wood and 3 stone in survival?

Hoping to find some help with blueprints. I placed my building down in the wrong place. I never started building it. I just destroyed the foundation. The blueprint will not go away. I can't place any pieces due to somethingis in the way. And i can't build it due to destroying the platform.

A good tip to place down foundations,is by using floor tiles,use snap mode,it will be on the lowest height (height of a floor tile)

All you have to do is make stairs and then use the snap button to snap floors to the stairs

thank you so much because all my bases are just a rectangle

i’ve been stuck on a build and any time i go to place something it gets outlined in purple and i don’t know what that means

for sure you have to level up a few times before you really get some of the better building pieces cause man trying to build at the start is rough The prefabs are cool, but I genuinely want to build something unique and that is my own

@@x_x6310 if you think Minecraft is boring, it’s your own fault, not the game’s fault. Minecraft is a sandbox game. Not an rpg. Not an MMO. Not an FPS. It’s a SANDBOX game. Which means: you have to use your imagination. So if you think it’s boring you only have yourself to blame.

I don't understand the first tip. Where do you find the tall foundations that you attach to the blueprint foundations? All I have are 2 high foundations.

Lots and lots of stairs haha

Snap mode ? Is it possible to build WITHOUT it ? :D I cant.. Roof is Always adjusted to the walls, more like in reall life, whenever ppl has to change their roofs, so sticking to the V shape roof only and building walls according to it is just limiting your capabillities ;) Main tip I got is to remind how to acctually place the floors ( not on the walls, but more like inside of its edges and then fill in narrow gaps above the walls with narrow floor tiles), just to make look simetric,cause now I just place them whatever :D :D and roof..ohh it just turns on imagination wild ! roofs, stairs placement has so much of creativity ! ;) U know the map is INSANELY huge ! it just keeps on extending futher then it shows, atleast twice ! :D and yeah..its a great game forkids too, to intruduce them into the survival games, which becomes more and more popular ;)

sadly the vertical foundations isnt available in survival so it's harder to make the foundations sink in the ground

There's a way to use them in survival too, do the same as him at 0:22 then just destroy 3 to 4 foundations, the ones you would like to use! Place them back again on to the blueprint, by placecing them back again the foundations will show up in the STAR MENU, at the end of the building menu you'll see a star, thats for items you had used, and just pick them from there, then go ahead and destroy the blueprint, this also a great way to use pieces you haven't unlock yet, cause some of those bluprints already have those pieces in them.💪

You can build foundations and floors and everything into the ground actually, if you have an incline. so if there is a slope and youre trying to build into/under the ground or just lower and closer to the ground if you aim the pieve you are trying to build on the lower end of the slope and then use the nudge buttons to nudge the object towards the upper end of the slope it will go in that direction without raising up the slop, it will go right into the slop/hill. I use this all the time. Sometimes you can also just go down the hill/slope to the height you want the brick to be and place it there then just snap more of the bricks in the direction you need until it is in the place you need it. Then just destroy the excess you started with
