Minecraft as an Art Form

Call me Otherside! I feature my Minecraft builds here, and usually try to post original content around once a week ⛏️

I came across this art by @deathcomequickly and was so inspired that I tried my hand at building it in Minecraft!

Thank you @indigoforiver for once again posing in the build <3

Hey everyone, it's been a while since I last shared a build - lots of life stuff, not enough Minecraft! This is a build that @indigoforiver and I created in one of our new survival worlds (I'll have more posts on that out soon).

In case you missed it: the Buildtober wrap-up!

This includes the builds that I missed during the challenge and a brief visit to each one! I wish I could say it also includes insight into how YouTube shorts work but that’s still a mystery.

Thanks again to @otherside-wanderer for putting together the list! I also wanna say thank you to eternalavecho and everybody else who shared their builds for the month, it was very fun to see all the interpretations!

Part 11 of a series of my old builds exported from Xbox 360 Edition.

This was my attempt at a scaled-up replica of my family's basement at our old house. It's enormous, so I made sure to hide some fun areas you can explore in the build.

Yes, this is in Minecraft. And yes, the walls are made of melons.

Part 10 of a series of my old builds exported from Xbox 360 Edition.

Although I'm more of a puzzle map builder, this was my (third) attempt at building a PVP map in Minecraft! It had six different classes you could play as (Battlemage, Monk, Shaman, Paladin, Assassin, and Illusioner) - each with different play-styles, and I set it up so that whenever you (re)spawned, you'd be assigned a random class (all with redstone!). It prevented spawn-camping and kept the game interesting.

Every building was furnished and decorated - the last picture shown here is an interior from the paladin's citadel.

Part 9 of a series of my old builds exported from Xbox 360 Edition.

This build was meant to be huge and is definitely unfinished, but I actually like how it looks here. I was inspired by the Shrine of Worship in the game Shadow of the Colossus when building this, and I was planning on building giant statues on the platforms at the front and inside the structure.

Days 7, 17, 18 for @clovercrafted’s Summer Fun Event: Cake, Wedding, Cherry Blossoms

Coincidentally, there are a couple of weddings in my family this year, so it was apt for me to design a wedding cake for this building challenge! I decided to center the cake around a cherry blossom theme given the prompt, and found that cherry blossom leaves and wood look gorgeous as decorative icing - even using a cherry tree as the cake topper!

This build was ENORMOUS and took me a while to finish, but I think the final look is quite elegant. Wish I could have a slice!

Hey everyone! Reblogging this because I have some relevant personal news - last week, I married my partner of 7 1/2 years, @totem-kommo-o!

He isn't into Minecraft like I am (so no Minecraft cake for us), but he has always been so incredibly supportive and helpful toward the work I do for this blog and the community. Sometimes he even gives me ideas for builds, like this one!

I know I don't share much about my personal life on here, so thanks for reading :)

This is another build I themed around the Greek Mythology Mash-up Pack. I think it was supposed to be a temple for Selene, or perhaps Artemis...

Either way, I remember wanting to incorporate water and cool colors into the build. It definitely ended up bigger than I had originally planned!
