Everyone check out Snarple's latest video for some awe inspiring builds!
My personal favorites from the competitions are:
Lyra's sea monster from the End of Year competition
Zirce's bison wagon from the Western competition
Knighty's explorer from the End of Year competition
Lyra's snowy cowboy from the Western competition
Todpog's tree frog from the Aquatic competition
I've mostly looked at survival builds on this blog so far, as that's what I watch, but creative building is a whole different beast. I thought it was interesting how many of the competition builds were organics, even though the themes were picked to be open-ended. Even in the Mechanical competition, where I would expect to see more architecture or machinery, the builds felt like organics.
When I've seen survival players work in creative, they tend to stick to the types of projects they do in survival, just at larger scale (like this Joel Smallishbeans' video). I think Pearl's an exception since she was known for doing creative building/organics first, and she's brought much of the large scale terraforming and organics into her survival building.
I'm curious to hear what you guys think about the divide in build styles between survival and creative minecrafters (and how that affects how they build in other minecraft modes). Also, tell me your favorite build from Snarple's video!
