Triumph Books - Master Builder 51 MORE Awesome Builds: The Most Unique and Inspiring Creations in Minecraft®TM

Contents

Introduction

Where would you live, if you could? Where would you travel to, if there were nothing holding you back? If you could create the most beautiful, amazing place or thing you can imagine, what would it look like?

Everyone has a unique answer: from fantastic castles striking against the sky of exotic lands with their tremendous towers, to glimmering spaceships in far-flung galaxies, we all have a place or thing living in our imaginations that we think would be the very best, if it could only exist.

This book is full of those places and things, those dream locations and creations that people keep inside their head. Here, however, they have done the unthinkable and actually been brought to life through a type of magic. That, readers, is the magic of a video game called Minecraft.

Minecraft is really more than a game- its a medium to convey whats inside your head. Its a gateway for imagination, a method to make dreams come to life that anyone can pick up, but which it takes true vision and patience to master.

Here, weve collected the realized dreams of the true masters of Minecraft that can take imagination and make it a real thing to see, explore and, in many cases, adore.

One hundred and one builds of the highest quality are what youll find here, spanning every major category of creation that there is in this game. From science fiction to modernity to that crazed genius world of Redstone engineering; its all here. And, that there are far more fantasy builds than any others is no coincidence: all builds herein have some of the fantastical about them, and some focus on it entirely, for fantasy is really another word for imagination, and Minecraft is imaginations game.

Its a journey that awaits you in these pages, a journey through many imaginations and the incredible things that lie waiting within them. Youll see castles, computers, musical instruments, deep dungeons, starships, and more, and all of them are shown off in the highest-resolution, most gorgeous images we could manage to capture.

We feel like we say it every year, and every year its just as true as it was the last: this is the best time that Minecraft has ever had, the best time to get into the game, and the time when the best creations are being born. This book is a celebration of that time, and of the best that Minecraft has to offer.

Come with us through these Minecraft builds, and step into the dreams of the worlds best Minecraft creators, where anything is possible, and everything is made real, one block at a time.

Science Fiction

Iration the Submarine City

By: loki0841

Initially built on the WoK server in the Beachtown area, Iration the Submarine City is meant to glide through the oceans. Like a ghost under water, its travelling silently in the oceans, hiding from the rest of the world. Its even built to be undetectable from both radar and sonar, and it is self-sustaining. Having this kind of a high concept when going into a build is a great idea, as it can really direct where the build goes. In this case, while the outside of Iration is all sleek and utilitarian, the inside is quite pleasing and feels like a cross between a cruise ship, a mall, and a fancy modern home. We think wed be more than okay with living inside Iration!

Sky Inn

By: CyRRaXxHD

Most of our steampunk stuff goes in the fantasy section, since the aesthetic and tech are more of an older design than the other builds here, but the neatly designed Sky Inn goes here primarily because of what (fictionally) powers it to float serenely above the waters that it travels across. Those would be the four quantum reactors that sit at the bottom of the Inn, which most certainly are some high-tech science fiction. Using some mods to get the sun and the waves looking more realistic, this build really does feel like a nice spot for weary travelers to rest on their journeys across the sea, and that the interiors are all done up as well is, as always, a very nice touch that gives the build depth and life. You can see the influence of the game that inspired this build, Bioshock Infinite, but it still manages to be something all its own through the personal touches put on by builder CyRRaXxHD.

Ocean Future of Mankind

By: Waterijsje

Inspired by highly futuristic concepts of self-sustaining underwater/space cities, the Future of Mankind is a giant underwater hall filled with structures that represent resource collectors and water purifiers. It kind of has a Dune water collector/Halo ring city/Arthur C. Clake space capsule city thing going on, but with a very contemporary and bright design, using many beiges and warm colors on big, clean spaces to create a build that looks stunning when you use shaders to give it shadows and better lightning. Though theres not much to actually do in this build, it is very big (1,000 blocks long) and quite beautiful, and the construction is a bit more abstract than many of the other sci-fi builds in this book in a way that really works for it.
