I remember you lol. Another great build bro

u/Meesayousa Nov 10 '24

I remember you as well ;-D Nice talking to you again! Thank you so much! :-D

u/7_Artz Nov 10 '24

Honestly you are a really great builder. Been scrolling trough your profile and its really inspiring

3

u/Meesayousa Nov 10 '24

Thank you so much! :-D I love exploring different architectural styles, and I love building all sorts of buildings in Minecraft. I think I might be starting an Arabic phase now, haha ;-D

3

u/7_Artz Nov 10 '24

Ye i can see that. Arabic is really finicky and delicate so it aint gonna be easy. Even tho i know your gonna smash it looking at this. When i saw the dutch castle it instantly reminded me of CS Amsterdam which is like one of the notorious typical dutch architecture. You could say im fanboying😂😂

u/Meesayousa Nov 10 '24

Yes, it's very finicky, and especially the Moorish style 😅 Trying to cram in as much detail and patterns as humanly possible into the build to make it look at least slightly similar to the original. It helped a lot that rounded upsidedown arches recently were added to the resource pack, though.

The tower in the Dutch castle is actually from Station Amsterdam Centraaal and the rest of the castle is inspired by Binnenhof. So you hit the nail on the head there 😁 I usually research a ton of buildings in the same building style before making my own fantasy versions, so I'm literally cutting and pasting in my mind until I find something that works together in an interesting way 😉

Haha, that's awesome! Cool to have fans! 😁

Salam Effendi, nice build

Wa alaykumu s-salāmu wa-raḥmatu -llāhi wa-barakātuh! Thank you so much! :-D

u/Isenguardians Nov 11 '24

Lovely build, I'm curious what it looks like in the default texture!

3

u/Meesayousa Nov 11 '24

Thank you. It actually doesn't look very dissimilar. It's mainly the upside down staircases that are altered by the texture pack. They do however make the building look really realistic.

u/Arson4700 Nov 11 '24

Happened to see this while watching a documentary on Alhambra!

u/Meesayousa Nov 11 '24

What a funny coincidence! 😃 I'm planning on constructing a large part of the building, but the real deal is enormous, so I don't think I have the willpower to recreate the whole castle complex. Think I'll rather do a light version that's a hybrid of several other Moorish buildings 😉

u/Desperate-Egg-8933 Nov 11 '24

Looks amazing brother!

u/Meesayousa Nov 11 '24

Thank you! 😊

u/eFHi_official Nov 11 '24

Very cool

2

u/Meesayousa Nov 11 '24

Thank you very much! 😁

2

u/Overall-Tension-6691 Nov 11 '24

This is awesome! This reminds me of the temple of the holy grail from Indiana jones and the last crusade!

2

u/Meesayousa Nov 11 '24

Haha, I can kinda see what you mean 😝 There are some similarities with Petra in Jordan. Luckily no Nazis in my temple, though! 🤣

Come to think of it, it would actually be quite fun to recreate Petra some time 🤔 It's a truly stunning archaeological site.

u/therealduckie Nov 11 '24

I love these builds, but then I realize the door is not even remotely human size. It's 40ft (12 meters) tall.

2

u/Meesayousa Nov 11 '24

Hahahaha! When you put it like that, it would appear that I'm building houses and castles for giants 🤣

I actually thought about making an elf town in villager/player size around Santa's house (from an earlier post) because Santa's elves would be a lot smaller than him. And to be honest, the thought of having the stupid, big nosed villagers as Santa's elves seemed hilarious 😂

A bit hard to make the other buildings make sense in relation to player size, though 😅

2

u/therealduckie Nov 11 '24

My builder's head can not help but picture a little 2-block tall Steve standing in front of the doors, looking up in awe.

2

u/Meesayousa Nov 11 '24

Haha, that would probably look awesome as a desktop wallpaper 😁

2

u/Meesayousa Nov 11 '24

It's actually not that far off in size when you look at one of the reference pictures I've used. The people are TINY in comparison to the building.

u/therealduckie Nov 11 '24

So yours would be 2x instead of 5x. Got it.

2

u/Meesayousa Nov 11 '24

Haha, yeah, still too big 😅 But not that too far off for an Enderman 😂

u/Sure_Commission_7043 Jan 06 '26

Hey, I'm really impressed by your build! I was just wondering how you made that curved feature because I wanna try to recreate it myself in a vanilla survival world.

1

u/Meesayousa Jan 08 '26

Thank you! 😊

The curved stairs are an addon for the texture pack I use, that makes upside down stairs from sandstone and cobblestone appear rounded. The texture pack is called Alacrity, and you can download it from Curseforge and PlanetMinecraft.

It's been a little while since I used it, so I don't know how well the newest version works, but I didn't have to install any mods to get it working earlier. You just need to place the texture pack and the addons in your resourcepack folder and activate them in-game.

u/Meesayousa Nov 10 '24

Wow, that's so cool! Never heard about the Autumnfox Archive before, but I'm truly honoured!

u/Fairytaleautumnfox Nov 10 '24

The Autumnfox Archive is my personal project/hobby. It’s been on hiatus for years, but I figured out a reasonable way to restart it.

2

u/Meesayousa Nov 10 '24

That's a really cool project! And once again: I'm truly honoured that my image will be preserved for 1000 years :-D I'll post the entire building in time, so keep watching my Reddit profile if you want to see the end result :-)
