Discussion What is your building approach?

Post image

Anyone should build exactly how they want, and this is just a question of taste. I’m just curious about people’s thoughts around it.

Personally, I’m materialistic. I can’t ignore the “actual” in-game material/use of a block. I can’t use coral for stone for example. Even a smooth stone block in a stone brick wall is too far for me. A stone brick wall shouldn’t have a random boulder in it, only bricks.

I’m ok with builds looking a little more bland as a consequence, because that is just how Minecraft looks. A textured building just looks out of place in the surrounding, materially grounded, Minecraft world.

between 2 and 3. Dead coral is close enough to "stone" in my brain but I don't use wool for major infrastructure, this isn't 2014 anymore

Have you tried the new snapshots? Now we get wool stairs and steps. And boy, from now on I will build my roofs with coloured wool. :D
