Minecraft Bi-Weekly Build Challenge #18: Modern house

LAST WEEK'S THEME: REIMAGINE THE TEMPLE

Gold

Frosty-Winds

The sheer grandeur of this temple is incredible! It's really something that I would love to find in a jungle and explore! The exterior looks great, with a lot of detail but I really loved the interior. Here you can see these wonderful hallways and rooms and the cool traps. It'd be amazing to explore this in single player, first person, and navigate your way to the centre of this structure. Beside all that, it even uses almost the same palette as the original!

Small criticism though, the very entrance of the build was nice, but the flat grass around it wasn't. A few plants such as ferns, flowers or leaves would have made that area just a bit better. But that's only a very small part, good job!!

Silver

The Desert temple is gorgeous. With the statues on top and the giant building, it's really a wonderful sight. The interior with the maze and hieroglyphs was really well done as well. However, this is hard mode so you needed to submit the two temples this time. The jungle temple seemed a little too blah since it's basically four of the same towers sticking up in the air. The lake in the middle is nice and all but those towers just seemed a bit too ordinary and needed some other element to them. However, still two great builds which were challenging using the same blocks as the original! Good job!

Bronze

I really liked the jungle temple which seemed really abandoned and made good use of the overgrown vines. The Desert temple was a build that really could have failed honestly. But you made it work. It was really neat that type of temple inside a beast like that. Also, in both, like the traps you used, especially in the desert temple. The interiors seemed a bit too cramped in some places (like bigger hallways might have been better) and also a bit repetitive in the jungle temple however still two great builds!

Introduction

Before we start this challenge, good news for all you redstoners! /u/Habeeb_M has started a Bi-Weekly redstone challenge over at the /r/mcchallenges subreddit. This mean that everyone who thinks building is not really their thing and are better at redstone will have a challenge that might better suit them. That doesn't mean you can't particpate at both though!!

And just so you all know, I am not really involved at all with this challenge so if you have any questions, I'll try and answer them but I probably won't be able to. However, I'm sure that /u/Habeeb_M will be hanging around his challenge and maybe this one to answer any questions you might have! Here is the link to the first challenge too! Go and show your love and support!

Anyway, on to the building challenge...

You're rich. You have all the money you could ever want. A dream car, an expensive dog, 4 kids, a husband/wife.... but where's your house?

This challenge you can get to build it but not just any house, this is a twenty-first century house. One of those cube houses with weird roofs that look completely slick and without any imperfections. This is going to be your modern house.

Inspiration

Example 1

Example 2

Bdub's house, I personally loved this build of his


Challenge

Easy Mode: Construct a modern house. No real guidelines here, build what you think is a modern house that could be found in the world today. A interior is not required, you just need to make a modern looking exterior.

Hard Mode: Same as easy mode. This time we're making the interior and you'll need to have these following rooms:

Indoor pool

Theatre room

An 'art' room (hang some paintings or something, I'll be more lenient on this room but it must contain some sort of 'art')

As you can see, for this challenge I'm not imposing too much of a guideline on what to build. I'm more looking at your take of a modern house. Also please note that this is a modern house and NOT A FUTURISTIC HOUSE. Whatever you build, I should be able to find a house in real life that could or does look similar.

This is what happen when you sort the pixels of the mossy cobble texture.

Survival base I started with my girlfriend ! What do you guys recommend to build next ? (Playing MCWIN10)

This is the start of a whole medieval civilization I plan to build on PE. I have a lumber mill, a storage depot, and a small cottage for the worker. Critique/what's next?

[WIP since 2011] Map with different civilization (screens and download in descrition)

Posted: 30 Apr 2017 08:45 AM PDT

Hello everybody ! I'm working from a long time ago on this map. I wanted to have different environements, cities, styles on one map. Some screen : http://imgur.com/a/NUUpV The custom texture pack I used (I made only few texture, all are from other texture packs such as dokucraft for example) : http://www.mediafire.com/file/4wvuwaurv1nffmt/0A11.zip The map : https://www.mediafire.com/folder/kgzwdvw97rxw1/village_-_Copie It's not perfect, there is no huge building, but I try to keep it cute and complex while it stays small. Tell me what you think about it ! (and if you have theme ideas) Enjoy !

What's something that has been in the game for a long time, that you thought was newer?

Posted: 30 Apr 2017 11:52 AM PDT

I was reading old posts about tips for moving in a survival world. One of these posts was from 2011 and they mentioned using chest minecarts. I was really confused because I swore that the chest minecarts weren't added until years later. I checked the wiki and I guess I was wrong.

EDIT: Fixed minor spelling errors

My PS4 world. Started as a small village.

My mansion's antechamber: it seems lacking somehow but I can't decide what to add without making it seem tacky.

[Meta] Please stop posting "theories" about disc 11 and/or disc 13. It's getting annoying.

Posted: 30 Apr 2017 06:29 PM PDT

Title says it all. A million people have already tried to "solve it", and the devs are never going to tell you what it is, because telling everyone would ruin the mystery. Either way, it's just the same thing over and over again. It's either "Herobrine" or something to do with the images in the end of the track.
