When Simon REQUESTS a Second Song… and They STEAL The Show! Redemption UNLOCKED!

How did the water flow from the dam and fill up the lake in your most recent video? I have never seen MC water work like that and I didn't find anything pertaining to it in your modlist. It was super cool.

Once again a great video 👍
Keep it up, Marloe !!

SPAWNPROOF THE DARK CAVES UNDER THE CUSTOM TERRAIN! SHOVE A TORCH IN THERE!! CHRIST

I like hearing you talk. Good video :)

I, for one, will watch anything you make. But videos like this are great. I hope you make more

Loved think video, found it quite helpful for myself, as I've just started to dabble into terraforming, by any chance is there a tutorial for that water wheel building

Where is your accent from? Somerset?

Great video, I too find myself always getting carried away with terrain building/shaping that I forget to build actual structures haha

It's been many, many years since I've found comfort in playing Minecraft. After discovering your channel today, I find a calm inspiration to pick up and play again. Bravo my friend, thank you.

Excellent video mate. I don’t think there’s much here that I didn’t already know, but sometimes being reminded of it (especially in a way that isn’t just shouting about "HOW AWESOME THIS LOOKS!") brings you back to the overall goal, rather than fretting over whether every block has just the right detail. Thanks!

Peace

PLS make a medieval boat house I cant build large ships for shit😭😭😭😭🙏🙏

Marloe is exactly the Minecraft channel we need. No fake SMP drama, no raging over bedwars, just a dude enjoying Minecraft at his own pace. I love this man.

Can you make more tutorials to make cool houses pls
So I can build something on my terrain in my world

the mountain id very goofy, but still a great video

You explained well and I understood it all. Thank you for the help

that was great.

300 k subs nice 🎉

Any help on terriforming helps a lot.....the mountain helps too.....i have to try that with the center point and four sides like that

every time I watch one of your videos i get the itch to play Minecraft again. thanks for all the great content!

I think that adjacent to water blocks should be gravel, not stone. If you look closely at the real mountain rivers, their beds are almost consist from movable rock that looks like a combination of gravel and cobblestone. In my opinion stone is too smooth for that role.

Remember old Minecraft when all shores were from gravel? Me too. <3

amazing tips. Easy to follow and easy to build a skill upon. This can be one of the best "tutorials" out there.

Oooh nice. This doesn't seem too different from what I do when I harvest sand or dirt. Times when I try to make the terrain look normal after I'm done.

I found your videos recently and you have a super relaxing voice. I also find your videos to be a calming soothing vibe.

One thing I will say on this one though, your notes on terraforming are all quite good and helpful, though the aspect about the river not leaving any dirt kinda had me chuckle. I live next to a fair amount of rivers and creeks and they are hella muddy, the creek bed itself is weathered down rocks but thats on top of dirt and the walls of the creek are dirt and mud. Like its a common thing to see overhanging sections of dirt with tree roots sticking through because the creek washed the dirt away. Now this could be a my area thing though, we have some of the most clay rich soil in the world. Like on most of the hiking trails I have been on it is more common to see the roots of trees forming steps and stairs than to see exposed stone.

I don't know what would take longer for me. Learning to terraform, or lighting up all the caverns that get created. I may never see them again, but if I fall in, I don't want it to be right next to a creeper.

I'm a big fan of this king of terraforming (specially in my actual world where I had to hide giant cave) and if it can rassures you, it take me 3 mouth of tranning and 2 more of practice to make it really look good

If i build a river or stream down i like to start with that and then make the terrain around that, i think i saves some time

I tried terraforming using Minecraft's natural generation as a template, and everything I did was either way too wavy, or way too flat and uniform. Unnatural in either case. I feel like I'm just not meant to do terraforming, at least not by myself, not without tools. Terraforming requires some amount of chaos, you have to let the terrain guide you, go with the flow, not force it. I'm completely the opposite - i want order, I want structure, I want precision. Which is good for building structures, but not terrain or organics. I'm way too perfectionist.. My brain is just not brainin' it.

I always get used to building terrain, since the first time I played but your techniques are super helpful, even for me it was useful. I'm going to build much more with your custom Village's house with nice terrain

I think your biggest struggle with shaping the channel was trying to make a river on the highest ridge through the space between the hill and your mill, which is.....not how water works, either in real life or minecraft 😂 I think it would have saved a ton of work and looked more natural to work with the existing slopes and only adjust them as needed, instead. Say if you took the water down the right side of that ridge (facing the mountain from the mill), pooled in the lower area to the right, and then continued the stream down to the mill from there. That would line up to the angle of the waterwheel better, too. Still turned out cool (and I rarely if ever have the patience for building stuff like this anyway so it's not like I've done better 😅) just maybe a suggestion to improve future builds!

You should try the minecolonies mod out. After watching the Tektopia vids like the good old days, it reminded me of this mod called Mine Colonies, it is really good and civilization esque

Thank you for posting this.

oh, imho terraforming is the best part of every building project :P

This is a really helpful video. No need to self doubt.

It is nice to see this topic in minecraft covered again. There are still some tutorials up from Madness64 about buildings. You might like them. Unfortunately those he did about terrain have been taken down in the last nine years. His tutorial for how to build a curve in a road, and the tutorial on building a river are things I found very inspirational and I have not yet found them equaled. I hope you continue to work on your terrain builds you do show artistic vision.

I love the music in your videos. Quite a few of your videos use classical or music themed to your video. Very calming.

I made a small waterfall today and thought it looked good but geez the one in the beginning is really good

I have been playing Minecraft since it came and I am a seasoned environmental designer, yet I am still here because everyone has a different approach and it is truly fascinating to watch others design and the techniques they use.

Ive tried blending and shaping and never really got into detailing..

I was looking for something very similar to this, but for building a small rural town instead with some terraforming. Most of the similar commentators I've alternately watched are talking too fast and I can't recreate their methods in Minecraft. Your presentation was more my speed and understandable. Its reminiscent to watching the artist Bob Ross on PBS (similar to BBC). Your voice, however sounds like Jemaine Clement. He's from New Zealand, but stars in American and British TV Shows and movies. He is in a Sci-fi show called Legion (where I know him) as a supporting character in 2017. Watching your video its him I picture narrating. I'll try to find other videos you have made.

Can I recommend one thing really quickly, think about how something happens. For example: “how did this pond get here?”, “how did this river form?”, if you can answer these questions than I suggest if you want to do it, do it. If you can’t answer that question, I recommend not doing that.

learning to terraform was such a time saver and was a lot easier on my soul, I would spend hours just traveling around a minecraft world just searching for the right kind of generation, it's easy to become a perfectionist especially when you sink in so much time and effort that it gets to a point where nothing the game generates is good enough, now I just look for something vaguely useable and instead imagine what I could add, enhance or change, I've become a lot less picky with where I get to settle, which means I can get to the fun part of the game so much faster, actually playing it.

It's all easy but time consuming

IMHO sometimes less is more.

Well I always find myself building a superflat terrain for my builds even though I play regular minecraft, i cannot work with the terrain for some reason, everything I build is straight lines with sharp curves, even the pathways are straight and on the same y level, the farms are squares for max output, I like to build with redstone but I cannot put something just for decoration it needs to have functionality, building fake trees is bizzare to me, trapdoors for decoration nope I cannot bring myself to do it, still I want my world to look beautiful. Can you help me a little bit?
