I was looking back on my many Minecraft creations in my main
world and realised that there was a few remakes of multiplayer creations that I
had missed so I’ll go through these which are now sitting proudly on display in
my now museum-like original minecraft map. Some of the rebuilds you see here
will be built to be exactly the same as the original, others will be different
in certain ways due to me being able to build bigger better and faster in
creative mode. The main difference that you will see is that I will be using
different texture pack then the original, the texture pack I used for these
screenshots is
Cyberghost’s
256x texture pack. All of the creations below have already been featured in
detail in a Minecraft creations post, this post just reviews them and notes any
changes I made in the rebuilds.
I’ve listed these from latest to earliest as I think it
works best, I’ve also linked the titles to the original posts so you can
compare the two.
The Birchwood house was built in my friend Lupidoo’s claim
in the
Ozgamerparty
server, basically I just wanted to make an entire house out of birch wood and
had to make it in the area that he places, so naturally I made the house as big
as the whole area. The rebuilt went ok but I think I got the size a bit wrong,
it’s hard working with only screenshots.

The
Blocktree House
This was intended as a giant version of a minecraft tree
that was also a house, this was also on Ozgamerparty but on my friend Rennz’s
town. Unlike the other rebuilds in this post this one is was rebuilt a bit
differently as in creative mode I could build to my full potential without the
time sink and constraints of survival mode. The first thing you might notice is
that the new tree is wider and taller, the rooms are bigger so I could fit more
in and I also got rid of the “furnace basement” underneath as I could fit them
in the entry floor. I also had room for another floor that was inside the
foliage so I made that part the pool room. Basically everything else is the
same except more refined and rooms have more things in them, I also cut some
windows for the library room. I reckon it turns out a lot better, obviously was
much more helpful using creative mode.

| You can't see it here but I put a hatch at the top then carves a stairway through the leaves to get on top of the tree. |
This was made to get away from everyone and everything for a
while and live in the sky in peace, I should have known I wouldn’t be able to
for long before someone made a tower and a bridge up to me, my one in my new
world is much more peaceful though I could actually build it much, much higher
now. The inside of the house in the rebuild was much better as I used this
lovely light blue wool to fit the ‘sky’ theme, it was also more spacious and
better designed overall. Once I decided to come down and join the others on
Zocrowe
Island I did make a “House of Peace” detailed in the same post which was
basically the same but was on the ground obviously and used leaves as
decoration. I decided not to remake this one though as it wasn’t anything
special albeit more spacious then the cloud house.
This was an odd creation that I thought up with the
intention getting a certain female Minecraft player inside, looking back now it’s
as dangerous and scary as it sounds. The remake was much better than the
original as I had an unlimited supply of coloured wool so I was able to make
the place look much more colourful (including the entrance) The bedroom and
fireplace ended up looking much better too and less claustrophobic.

| I need a fancier door, come to think of it I should have used the dark oak door |
 |
| Looks like a nightclub entrance, just needs the ticket booth and cloakroom |
 |
| Yes unfortunately the coach isn't too comfortable but that's the point as it makes it more favorable to go to the bed |
 |
| Possibly could have redone this room with better decor, maybe at least done a multicolour roof. |

| Why did I make this? I really don't know |
The Lava Temple was basically an over-the-top “house” which
I made when I joined a town on the Tribalfield server around March 2011. Originally
supposed to be a pyramid, this structure was mostly made to experiment with the
new sandstone block that had come out at the time and also was one of my best pieces
of work that included lava. This thing was one of my favourite creations back
then and even now as I’ll always remember Warpage chiding me over showing
everyone up with my extravagant houses compared to their plain (and boring)
rectangles and mucking up the look of his town. Seriously guys I’m an artist XD

| Yes those are my initials written in lava, damn that was hazardous to make in survival |

I need to explain the reason behind this one. In the Tribalfield
server we had different Tribes, and depending on which Tribe you were in you
had different abilities for example, Spirit Tribes took no falling damage, Fire
Tribes were resistant to fire and lava (that would be useful) and Water Tribes
did not run out of breath underwater. Ours was an “Air” tribe and our power was
not being crushed by blocks like gravel and sand which I’ll admit was kind of crappy
but sometimes useful none the less. So I made this “Temple” “For the Glory of
AIR” as written on the wool monument inside that was supposed to resemble
clouds. Some differences between the two were that the staircase up was steeper
and made of stone brick stairs not stone slabs as the slabs were in the way of
another of my creations and also I’ve now noticed that the remake is slightly
smaller, oh well it’s only the equivalent of two blocks shorter so it’s fine.

| I used wool blocks for the 'floating clouds' theme |
Another very early creation where I first experimented with creations
high in the sky (which could only go as high as block 256 at that point) I
actually did attempt to create a
Cloud
of Peace but gave up when I didn’t have enough wool and decided to make a
glass platform instead where you could look down onto the land below.
Unfortunately when using a realism resource pack the glass doesn’t look quite
so good as you can see in these screenshots, it looks better on the linked
post with the default texture pack. The idea with this was mt personal throne in heaven where people who died would come to worship me as god himself (yes it is as messed up as it sounds)
Here is a video showcasing the creations mentioned in this post as well as another the Rubix house that was showcased in a different post. From a recommendation from a friend this was the first video I have added commentary to and I do apologize for the swearing and general unprofessionalism though this was my first time. I have no idea whether this will turn into a proper youtube channel but at the moment I just want to concentrate on writing not video recording and editing.
So that’s that, many creations in my museum world, I must remind
myself to use more new items like using
Prismarine to make some
underwater houses and
Banners
which give a nice flair to houses but I overlook most of the time as their not
integral to the outside structure like windows and torches.
