Minecraft Color Theory - Instantly improve your builds! 

Now explain how to do this in beta

Step 2: install shaders

"... most important thing is colour." ... I love that im colourblind :D

really cool stuff, love that it's not a block-by-block tutorial where you say *what* to do for a specific build but rather *how* to do it for any build

How would you recommend doing this in survival where you don’t have access to tons of blocks

Amazing video. You're right, blocks shouldn't be seen as individual materials. Blocks are just colors just, and you create texture by incorporating different values and saturations into a build. And this shows more when you become farther away to a build, and the texture of the individual blocks blends together to show a more even color

I've seen the same tips so many times but this is the first video that actually made me feel like i could do it

Ro11en, i grew up playing the earth smp you created. I loved your content since 2020 and it's super amazing to see how good you've have become at making videos.

Gonna be honest, i don't really like gradients and complex block pallets, i love builds that are simple, and use the texture of the block itself instead of gradients. Usually builds with complex palettes look amazing, but they don't feel like Minecraft, and they feel like impossible things to make. I absolutely love the simplistic nature of a lot of Minecraft builds from the xbox 360 age

Now I’m going to use a gradient in every build I make

Just a minor thing to note: The white parts you see on castles is not sun bleaching. That's the paint that they used to have back when they were in use. Once they were abandoned, no one was around to repaint the parts that peeled off.

Definitly want a tutorial on those amazing builds

This is such a good tutorial, love how instead of outright giving set instructions you guide us on how and why you did it. Mad useful

This is such a well made video, ill be sure to link it whenever I give advice about seeing blocks as colors, its a great example on how building in minecraft really needs a good basis in colors, not materials.

This video has massively helped me

Nice video! Definitely reccommending this video to others who ask me about building! 10/10!

Amazing video! As someone who is learning how to properly colour their build this perfectly sums up the basics!

This video made me improve MASSIVELY,really looking forward to more build tips ❤

This is actually a really great building tutorial

I never knew Tuff would have this color match with stone! Thanks!

AWESOME VIDEO! Can't wait to improve my dirt huts with other types of dirt!

I'd love to see a tutorial on how you build stuff like that, I've tried building on my own and the building were rather decent according to people I know, but I think this looks so much better.

i love the video! a very good demonstration of how to texture in a meaningful way rather than just randomly placing blocks how it is sometimes shown or looks. is there a place where we can take a look at the builds at the end in more detail?

I'd gladly take an expanded tutorial on how to do colors and how to bring together shape, color and detail

Great video man! Keep it up

I have been trying this and looking for a video like this.

For me I am still doing the "Blocks as individual materials" Mentality because seeing blocks as colours instead of their unique own ruins my immersion and looks really awful close.

Hello Ro11en, Greetings from Germany! I 100% need a tut vor that Cathedral at the end!!!

The man himself! You were a crystal PvP mentor to me back in the day lmao I won’t lie, I completely forgot you still upload so cool stuff… also, 2b2t updated to 1.19 to try it out.

Please make a tutorial / guide on how to make those amazing builds... Great video btw

Imma use this gradient for my cathedral base

Just subbed, great vid, Can you please make a video like this one about texture and detailing a build plz. Thx

I leaned alot thx

nah, ur theory is wrong, just as you're aware of it in thumbnail, just use fancy shaders.

Thank you for this video. I'm currently practicing color gradients in my builds but still can't remove the "blocks are materials" mindset. I'm also trying to change my "block vomit" habit. I'm slowly improving though, I just need to practice contrasts and atmosphere.

This is a very cool video. I would like to know if there will be more similar videos? For example, "Theory of building construction" or something like that. Hi from Russia :)

I mainly learned to build in terraria, but what i learned from it that can be applied is that you need a main color, an accent color, and a contrast color

gerg really likes the cobblestone-coral pallete

Phenomenal video!

Would love to see a shaping a build from simple shapes to complex shape and depth. My brain needs to think in layers.

This impressionistic style of building is good for large/grand builds, especially viewed from far away. But for smaller builds such as the example here, where youre up close with the whole structure, the illusion fades and can turn messy. With these smaller builds, I think its better to limit the pallette to ~3-4 blocks.

Wow it even automatically adds shaders

I would love a tutorial on the cathedral!

Forgetting completly about the textures works well with large scale but when it comes to small scale, i'm not sure. I did try to do that and most of the time it looked odd.

Very useful

*Me making only vanilla-like structures and nostalgic Minecraft beta type houses* No, I don't think I will...

good video, usually building videos are just shaders theory not color theory

And most importantly shaders.

FINALLY

This is an incredible tutorial and feels fresher compared to "ToP 15 TiPs ANd TrIcKS!!!!!"With some obnoxious commentary. Keep it up!

Amazing video, very helpful and interesting!

Art is in the hand of the beholder

> Color theory Finally, a tutorial for decorating my minecraft hospital

no way this guy is still alive

nice

this inspired me to go on minecraft and create the most generic build and not use this technique at all

this guy is an Illustrator

what's the song at 0:37 ?

This is genuinely a good tutorial on colour theory, i always had the idea that the builds must be realistic so stone with stone, wood with wood etc and used mod that lets me place random blocks to make walls, with this video i now have a clear idea of what i must do and makes me feel inspired to give building another shot

Also helps that the before picture is in old ugly textures without shaders. 🙄

My body is changing to the intricate rumbles of your voice.

Most important thing is some good shaders.

Such a shame using a wide color pallette makes building in survival without litematica basically imposible (due to inventory management)

When I build your tower side house for my home base but I realized the inside of the house is Narrow 😭 I thought the inside is big

0:38 Ah yes the acacia wood and dead coral for a stone wall

turn on shaders to get better

This really elevates the builds, but let me tell you, this SUUUUCKS to do in survival🤣

does this apply to vintage story

I just need a shade onlyyy, the dang bedrock on iOS won’t allow user to use mod like shade or any kind of mods except their given mods in marketplace. It’s annoying and I feel less want to play the game because there are no shade to play that can make the experience more better and different.

It's just a Theory, a Color Theory!!

wow

Cool, cool. My house is made with cherry wood. There are no other pink blonks that aren't pink wool. Help pls

But hey, that's just a theory! A color theory! Thanks for watching!

Why does the hall on your thumbnail only 1 block wide interior

Next video, making interesting shapes?

Is making a before version in worst possible graphics and after with shaders is necessary step? It might be good video with intention to help people improve, but just looking at video thumbnail gives me an urge to click "not recommend" on it

Don’t forget shaders

But when i wanna build modern and clean looking builds i dont use bunch of blocks...that looks bad. It all depends on the style you are going for

tbh, colour theory in minecraft is all about size and scale, and how often the player is using the build, you are right about not treating the blocks about individual materials but a lot of people do not tend to consider the sharpness of blocks, the brick variant of blocks suffer from this. If you look at the little demo you built, the stone brick is so much sharper then the rest of the blocks that it can break the immersion, due to its texture. People tend to forgo looking at the softness and sharpness of blocks and just spam gradients everywhere. Of course there is also lighting to consider, and bedrock and Java do things differently. Though it is so easy to make builds look good, because of shaders, it could be really bland but still look great, shaders is basically cheating haha.

A.K.A "How to Bdubs"

How to make things look good: Use shaders

i build my house by efficiency and not by color wood stone theory

In short: make people believe that you know what you are doing

TLDR: You can't become a master, if you don't understand the basics

"You can take the most random blocks and make them work through color theory" The entire point of color theory is picking blocks that work together, those random blocks were just lucky draws

*colour :3

I'm too dumb for shiiii. I just freestyle my builds

oil up.

Fwhip is the expert on colour theory

**How to actually get better at building** Step 1: Add shaders Your computer can't handle shaders.... I don't care

The problem with this technique is that it is very immersion-breaking in survival. Like, why would my wooden roof have _mud bricks_ in it?

Extra tip: Upgrade Minecraft world to newer versions in the thumbnail for better color mixing and less oversaturated 2011 cobblestone!

Instantly improve, use shaders.

Dude, cobblestone is lighter than stone

Yeaaahhh... Now show these buildings from the inside. Tends to look like a clownshow

first idk ig i wanna be hated for being that guy that says first
