It’s time to dispel the myths surrounding common stereotypes among ordinary people, suggesting that British individuals of royal descent, like myself, reside in castles with complete comfort and lack for nothing, detached from everyday life and its concerns.
With a smile on my face, I recently shared these fabrications with my assistant, which often reach our kingdom’s ears. In reality, no one spends their entire childhood in Britain’s castles. Most of us grow up in attics, tending to animals in barns and caring for gardens, or sitting in cupboards waiting for a magical letter proclaiming that miracles exist and are eagerly awaiting you. Sometimes, however, a letter arrives stating that you’re an idiot and thus sent off to Sweden to write on websites about Minecraft Bedrock. That’s right; I’m talking about myself. Regardless, I never wanted to be a wizard anyway, which is why I’m here.
Yet, there are moments when I genuinely wish I had magically grown up in a castle, making all those rumors true. One particularly stunning castle in Minecraft was constructed by Japanese builder Yuta.
This magnificent sight instantly draws attention to the Regnleif Palace. It’s more of a technical castle and not entirely cozy yet, but I still enjoy living in it.
I asked the Japanese builder Yuta how he constructs such intricate, labor-intensive architectural structures like castles, palaces, cathedrals, and fortresses, and where he gathers so much information about their design. “Usually, long periods of contemplation without any foundation lead nowhere, so I read fantasy, browse fantastic photographs, explore the world via Google Maps, or play games. Religious and royal buildings inspire me,” Yuta explains.
This broad range of resources for expanding one’s horizons is incredibly beneficial both for builders in Minecraft and in real life. Relying solely on one project or borrowing from just one source—be it a film, game, or book—can come across as plagiarism, so don’t copy; instead, let your imagination run wild by combining and refining your ideas based on existing templates. This way, something truly magical emerges rather than just a structure.
This creative approach is clearly defined by builder Yuta. “I designed my palace inspired by Japanese films: Makiya, Promises, Blooming Like Flowers“. These films showcase various captivating buildings, and I’ve also incorporated elements from different structures around the globe.
“When designing my religious assembly, I played PS4 games to enrich my knowledge base. For instance, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Nier provided me with valuable ideas,” the builder shares.
Now it’s clearer how Yuta’s ideas come together; by mixing beauty with beauty, he achieves a magical outcome. Gothic architectures from Bloodborne, classic medieval castles from Dark Souls, and buildings from nearly every country featured in Assassin’s Creed.
This effective blend of styles has resulted in a portfolio filled with exquisite assemblies, yet Yuta perceives more flaws in his work than anyone else does. “I love creating details, thinking through everything down to the smallest aspects; this keeps boredom at bay because it’s art. However, I’m not great with calculations, so I rely heavily on my phone for assistance.”
Can’t design? Nonsense! It seems Eastern builders are far more modest than Western writers like myself. By the way, what do you think of my article? I believe it’s quite good.
Massive structures aren’t Yuta’s only focus. He also works on developing cities and streets, applying the same rich array of knowledge and a completely different perspective on details.
Typically, Yuta dedicates about two weeks each month to large projects. Most of his time is spent creating new interiors, as he possesses the most skills in interior design from his extensive knowledge base.
Yuta also recommends sandstone and quartz as the best materials for achieving your project’s construction in Minecraft Pocket Edition, so he strongly advises keeping these components in your inventory.
Trust builder Yuta, as he is a professional in this field and constantly observes the structure of Minecraft. “Whenever I go out for a walk and look closely at buildings, I can easily identify which ones suit my projects and which do not. Mentally crafting an image down to the finest details, building by building, with all contrasts, a structure rises in my mind,” he says.
Wow, I would love to have such a mindset, automatically generating plans for my projects whenever I see buildings. In fact, every time I look at constructions, I think about food. And when I try to build a cathedral in Minecraft, I again find myself thinking about food. Even now, I’m sitting here imagining how to shed a few pounds while trying not to think about bacon. Oh yes, what were we discussing?
Currently, Yuta is working on his new builds solo and aims to make significant changes to his creations. “In the near future, I’d like to collaborate with co-authors,” and you can follow our joint efforts through Twitter. Ambitions continue to grow daily, leading him to plan an attempt to construct Valletta, the capital of Malta.
An excellent idea for realizing numerous fantastic architectural designs that could be executed in Malta. After all, they all live in castles, right?
