Other times, you know what you want to build, but youre not sure exactly what it should look like. Or you may be almost finished building but want to add something unique to your build. There are so many options in choosing a build and in building it that you can sometimes get stuck making a decision, waiting for inspiration.
Inspiration often comes unexpectedly, but you can help it along. Browsing magazines, looking at real-life builds, and exploring other peoples creations are some avenues for getting inspired. The goal of this book is to be another avenue toward getting inspired for Minecraft building. There are sample block palettes, building ideas, and examples of types of roofs, windows, columns, entryways, and more. You can copy them exactly or adapt them to make them your own, or they just may inspire you to do it better! CHAPTER 1 BUILDING IDEAS IF YOU ARE ITCHING TO BUILD BUT STUCK on what to build, scan these lists of building and structure types to see if any catch your fancy. (Warning: Long lists of ideas like these can sometimes be overwhelming if you are at the beginning of decision making.
If thats the case, just take a quick look, forget you looked, and move on to another chapter! ) If you see something youre interested in, you can search online for pictures and illustrations that can help inspire you further.
