How To Build Spiral Stairs (CORRECTLY!) In Minecraft 

Will make of good use

I am more curious how your texturing is working back there. It looks almost like you got stairs interlocking into each other in those walls. What is going on there? This some kind of texture pack?

I think these would be great for my underwater base on Bedrock. Currently I'm using bubble elevators for everything, but I've wanted to change things up

One of the main takeaways I got from this is actually that it's just so much better to have the entrance to the staircase be 1 block wide instead of [the width of the staircase] wide.. Cx I also learnt that you can shift the start step by one for corners, and also that fact about the swords (we need more real life lore facts in building I believe)

The Stay True pack and the Continuity mod.

same, with the water part

i do the same thing but without stairs

i did a spiral stair tower that comes from layer 10 (old verions where the bedrock layer was 0 and goes to 4) to about 128 blocks high. The tower shape wide and get wider with deep, soo the surface portion is almost a tunnel, the dowards increase, on the top i get a increase in angle to be larger but in a higher angle than in the bottom portion. The entire sutructure that is rising has a huge spiral stair with both stairs and slabs in a complex partner that i developed to be really smoth and the most semetrical i could find, but it is actually two tower one in the middle with a inner space of 6x6 inner round shaped and inside it has item elevators that bring all my farm itens to a storage system on top of it, also has a player elevator with water columns and water fall pads for more easy travel than the stair itself. The design has all posibilities, but i never finish the entire strucuture the top portion is all open without properly walls exposing my storage system all arround, also my bed room that is on the top was just a bed in the main room. I have to build a more elaborated version, and finish it this time LOL

@viniciusschadeck4992 Kind of sounds like my trees, on the server I play on my main bases are almost always some sort of giant tree. My current version honestly isn't that big in comparison to some I have done but they usually also include a pretty intense basement. So I have a tendency to build with a lot of corkscrew and fluid platforms but also use the spiral staircases for when I need something more compact or for my mines.

A cleaner version of this is putting a carpet over a powdered snow block

A survey of Norman stairs found about a 50/50 distribution of left and right-handed stairs, even discovering incongruity in the same complex or keep with no regard to strategy. Sometimes, truth is not as much fun as a good theory made up by a British man in his armchair.

What sir Patrick said, there is no real strategic reason to why stairs are built the way they are. In fact, the supposed advantage such stairs give is false, as the high ground is a load of bollocks in melee combat. They can hit your legs no problem, and you hardly have ground to dodge, and you can barely hit them yourself. And if you do, it's on the helm. And it will likely glance off if we consider the common helmets of the infantry (skull caps, kettle hats, nasal helms, bascinets, so on and so forth), most of it are domed, making cuts with bladed weapons, or stabs with polearms, useless. And blunt weapons like a Mace are often quite short. Likewise, if your defense has been reduced to holding a stairwell in the keep, the siege has already been lost.

Thanks for watching!

How do I superheart this comment? Thank you so much!

I think i might have half a brain cell left and was thinking of joining the air force. Should i do it?

@@ravenblackwing7888 Yes. Yes you should. two times. :p

Damn that's really cool comment!

I had the same idea with the whole "By the end of this video" intro. Setting the expectation for a lesson was standard in the military.

lol I love these silly jokes so much, thank you for that one.

Every time I try to build this I just keep going in circles.

@@mmmelone24 these jokes are spiraling out of control

This guy's so good at building stairs he's running circles around us!

:|

Awesome, thanks Franky!

I was about to answer the exact same 😄 Good thing I saw your comment first. 👏

@@dudieboy love your content also I gotta point out your old man avatar really fits your commentary and voice.....XD😈🤭😜❤ no offense intended just Kidding, technically there’s truth to it...😉❤😈

Thanks!

Indeed. Walls or fences in the center are possible, but you force yourself to only use slabs and stairs, since their interaction with full blocks makes the hitbox stick up. And then the central post will not look connected to the stairs themselves.

Awesome! Good luck with the buildup

🤣

Awesome, thanks!

Interesting! Thanks.

Or just use stairs in the corners too. The only reason to use slabs is if you want to go only 4 blocks per revolution.

@@christophersavignon4191 Stairs can be a little bit awkward to traverse stepping onto them from the side, which you'll be forced to do in a design like this. They can work, but generally slabs are easier.

@@sorrowandsufferin924 If you get stuck, you built it wrong. There are no full-block steps if you place the steps correctly. I'm guessing you tried to place them sideways toward the next stairs instead of straight against the wall. Nobody forced you to do that, you just didn't see the alternative.

Awesome, my pleasure!

I would love to see what you build! I will also be adding a tutorial about towers in the near future. Thanks!

Thanks so much JayDee!

Thanks for watching!

Thank you! Will do!

Thank you! Wow, I was playing AD&D in 1983 too! 😄

Thanks! Great ideas for videos. :D

Wow, thanks!

Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed!

You’re welcome!

Glad it helped! Thanks.

Thanks! That’s cool, hadn’t heard that about roads before.

Thank you!

Thanks!

Nice!

Thank you!

Thanks for watching!

Glad to help!

Glad it helped!

Glad you like it!

The first adjectives that came to mind seriously were "simple, straightforward, and solid tutorial" so after that I just had to continue the alliteration.

Awesome, thanks! 😃

Thanks, and welcome!

Awesome! Thank you

High compliment, thank you!

You could actually altogether fix it by putting an inward facing stairs under the next one so the corner stair becomes a corner stair. Or at least, I think you could.

@@NintendoSunnyDee The side facing you must be a halfblock to be able to ascend. An outside corner stair would work for that purpose, but would look weird as there'd be a hole underneath the next bit of stair. It's perfectly ascendable without any corner stairs if you just remember that the side facing you must be a halfblock along its entire length in order to ascend without jumping.

Just orient the corner stair against the wall, and you'll have no hangups both upwards and downwards. There will be a tiny gap at the inward side, which gets closed when you fill the underside with upside-down stairs.

Thanks!

Glad I could help!

Thanks! Will do
