00:00Today I'll be turning this empty terrain into a cozy British inspired village filled with houses

00:04from old to new, little shops and restaurants, of course a pub and a few secrets hidden along the

00:09way. Now before any building can start we need to find the right location and after a fair bit of

00:14exploring this is where I've ended up. Two large patches of land with a winding river flowing right

00:18between them. Now the first task we had was to remove these trees to see what kind of terrain

00:22we're working with and as you can see we've revealed quite a mess. So step two was to fix

00:26this. We need to remove all cave entrances and pools of water and get them gone just fill them in.

00:31We

00:31don't want those. Okay the next task was to deal with some local residents. Now we obviously don't

00:35want any complaints coming our way so this eliminates that risk completely. With these out of the picture

00:39we can now begin work on the terraforming starting by removing these two pieces of land to fully

00:43connect our river. With that done we can now work on smoothing out the terrain and making it an easier

00:48surface for us to build on. I'll start by throwing down some curves trying to match the natural terrain

00:52patterns and then filling in the space that it creates. See the more effort we put in now the

00:56easier the village will be to build later. With the terrain in place we can begin the final step

01:00which is planning. This side of the river will be our farm. So here I've plotted out a small barn

01:04along with a few other farm buildings. I headed back across the river to what is going to be the

01:08main

01:09side of the village and began to plot out a rough idea of where the roads and buildings will be.

01:13Light blue is showing the smaller houses whilst dark blue being the non-small houses. I finished by

01:18planning out a space for an local football pitch and that completes our plan. Although spoiler we

01:23actually ended up building a lot more than just this. Now to begin building we need to upgrade

01:28these basic stone bridges to some better looking ones. We'll start with the easiest one and work

01:32our way up. I began by extending it from two to four blocks wide before then spending time using slabs

01:37and stairs to get the arched shape I was going for. From here it was time to add some texture

01:41starting

01:42with some darker blocks underwater before then using andesite and stone bricks above. We of course can't

01:46forget some mossy blocks for an extra touch of detail. I finished by adding some hanging moss

01:50underneath and that completes the first bridge. Next up we have the medium difficulty bridge and

01:56I again started by making it slightly wider before then getting the curved shape I wanted. I then used

02:00the same texturing style as before and finished with some grass and flowers around the outside

02:04and that completes bridge two. Finally we have the third bridge, slightly harder than bridge two as

02:10it's not a perfect diagonal. Making this into an arched shape was definitely more of a challenge but

02:14it's probably my favourite of the three bridges. I of course added some texturing and finished

02:19with some details down below. And that completes bridge three. Finally we need to connect all three

02:25bridges together and we'll do this by adding an riverbank along the entire river. Blocks like

02:30horse dirt and mud are perfect for this. I also added a few areas of marshlands just like you get

02:34in real

02:34life. To finish I added some small custom trees up and down the sides. It's amazing the difference a few

02:39blocks and plants can make. Now it's time to add the first building to the village which is going to

02:45be

02:45the main barn inside the farm. I firstly began by getting the rough shape before then using brick

02:50stairs for the roof. I then added a small staircase to the side to access the upper floor and this

02:54also helps to add some much needed shape to the building. After adding a barn door it was time to

02:58add some texture using darker blocks below and fading upwards to lighter blocks. I finished by adding some

03:04leaves and vines to give it that overgrown feel and then added a road around the front. And that

03:09completes our barn. And don't worry I haven't forgotten about the interior. I'm saving all of those for the

03:14very end. With the main barn in place we can now add some smaller outhouses and buildings. Starting

03:18firstly with this small shack I've used a simple brick pallet with deep slate tiles for the roof.

03:23Just opposite this was this longer building. I once again started with a basic shape before then

03:27deciding on the texturing and roof colour. I divided the front into two separate storage units and then

03:32finished by connecting it to the road we built earlier. Just next door I've built this simple stone

03:38warehouse with a deep slate roof outlined with polished andesite. Another storage building for the farm.

03:43Now no barn is complete without and storage silo. Once again fading upwards from darker to lighter

03:48blocks. I finished with ladders and fences for an extra touch of detail and that completes our silo.

03:54Now we've almost finished our farm but I felt it needed just one more storage building to fully complete.

04:02The last thing to do was to dot some custom trees all around the outside.

04:06And that's the farm buildings complete. With the buildings in place we now need to detail the land

04:12around it. First thing to do was to add some walls to plan out where we'd like the fields to

04:15be.

04:16I started by just using stone to get the shape before going in and adding some texture including

04:19some mossy blocks. With the walls in place we can now begin to add in some water and till all

04:24the

04:24grass to turn it into farmland. Now you might be wondering what building I've got planned here.

04:28Well this is going to be an old world war 2 pillbox. Very commonly found in fields along the east

04:33and

04:33south coast of England. I've used leaves and moss here to give it an abandoned overgrown feel.

04:38The fields prepped we can now plant in all of our crops and this has instantly brought some

04:42much needed colour to our village. Now although we've got some colour now it's still looking quite

04:48basic and we don't want that. To fix we need to add some trees of course. So using some I

04:52made

04:53earlier I pasted differing sizes of birch and oak trees around the edges of the fields. You can

04:57already see the difference this one change has made. The last step was to connect all of these fields

05:02together starting with the two main roads. I've used a simple texture of gravel, tuff and andesite

05:06outlined with coarse and rooted dirt and then placed leaves and grass along the outside to

05:10create some head roads. With the main roads in all that was left was to add the smaller

05:14paths connecting between them. Such a simple addition but one that really makes it all come

05:18together. I finished with a few riverside benches to sit down and relax. Now that completes our fields.

05:28Now it's about time we built the first house in the village but before we get to that our roads

05:32are

05:32currently missing something quite important and that is obviously some potholes. My mission is to make

05:36this village as realistic as possible so of course we had to include some. Okay on to the house now

05:41and this won't be any ordinary house. We're going to add a large country manor. After clearing some

05:45space I started with the walls and roof to get the shape. From here I added a grand entrance to

05:49the

05:49front followed by some large windows either side. I also felt the roof looked a little bare so I placed

05:56some windows up here too. After adding the windows to the back I then built a small extension to the

06:01side along with the double garage connected to it. I built another extension on the opposite side.

06:06This one a bit larger complete with a small side entrance to access. From here I detailed the

06:11lower half with leaves just like these houses have in real life. And then I also wanted to have a

06:17conservatory so I added one in at the back. And that completes our manor. Next up I built a small

06:24track to connect it to the village. Of course complete with a gate for security and then added a

06:28small fountain in the center of the driveway. From here I detailed the front to blend it in with the

06:33surroundings including some custom trees on the outside for the added privacy. It was time now to

06:37work on the back garden and I started with two side paths connecting to the front. From here I worked

06:42on the center starting with another fountain surrounded by a freshly cut lawn. I continued

06:46the privacy with some more trees complete with a brick wall just in front and then built a small

06:51outhouse at the end of the garden for some extra storage. I filled the rest of the space with a

06:55small allotment and no house like this is complete without antennas court. So I cleared some space and added

07:00one in around the back. And that's the manor and gardens complete. Now if you want to build this

07:06manor for yourself or any of the builds coming up I've got step-by-step 3D guides on my website

07:11Guerrilla Build. It shows you exactly where every block goes with these fun animations and you can

07:15spin and zoom the build to see any part up close. There's also a layer by layer mode and full

07:19material

07:19lists and it all works on any device right inside your browser. You can also download schematics as well

07:24as the complete village world to play inside your own game. Link is down below. Okay heading over the river

07:29now it's about time that we added the village church. I saved a spot for it up on this hill

07:33right at the beginning and started by getting the basic shape with some stone. From here I used brick

07:38stairs for the roof for a nice contrast and then began to build up the large bell tower on the

07:42front.

07:44After adding some texture it was time to add some windows and details. Now this is the part that

07:48really brings any build to life. You know lots of leaves and flowers around the base. I made sure to

07:52add a large window on this back wall and then built a smaller entrance on this side wall. I then

07:56added

07:56some windows to the main tower and we of course can't forget to add a bell right at the top.

08:00And that completes our church. Now no church is complete without a graveyard of course but before

08:06that I wanted to add a wall around the perimeter to set how much space we had to work with.

08:10I used

08:10a mix of coarse and rooted dirt and also sprinkled in some moss and podzole. Now after adding some

08:14simple gravestones I wrapped another path around the outside of the church and placed in a few benches

08:19against the wall to sit down. From here I placed some custom trees around the outside and wrapped

08:23another path around the churchyard and nearby river. I had one last empty area of land just in front so

08:29I thought this would be the perfect place to add a pond and finish the area. And that completes our

08:33churchyard. With that out the way it's time we finally start work on the main village houses. For

08:39this first one I've used bone blocks with a brick roof for a nice contrast and then went in with

08:43the

08:43door and the windows around it. I also felt like we needed some windows in the roof too. I finished

08:51with

08:51some leaves and vines to fill this side wall and that completes house one. Now I wanted to continue

08:57this and make a small row of houses and began by adding a slightly shorter house just next door.

09:01The main block used here was clay which makes for a nice pastel blue colour and then I finished off

09:05with some details at the front. Next door to this is one more house this time going for a sandstone

09:10theme. I feel like these three colours really complement each other nicely. After roughly adding

09:15some rows to the village it was time to add this little building in the corner. It's that type of

09:19small shack that's always been there but you've got no idea what it's for. Now we can't call this a

09:24village without and classic village green. The hub of the community I built a wall memorial structure

09:29in the centre and then surrounded it with trees and benches for a nice place to sit down.

09:34Next up was another village house this time going with brick for the walls and jungle stairs for the

09:39roof. I used a similar window design here as before and finished with a small garden around the back.

09:44Now this last building is going to be the village shop and post office. Of course this had to be

09:48located in the centre of the village. Again another big part of the community. I finished off with a

09:52postbox banner and sign at the front and that completes our post office. Heading across the

09:58green it's now time to work on a village blacksmith. Now I began with the house where the owner would

10:02have lived and this one is actually inspired by a blacksmith from real life. Now after building the

10:06main house it was time to add the side buildings connected to it. This would be where the actual work

10:10would get done and all the tools and supplies would be stored. I detailed the area at the front

10:14including a small front garden and then finished with a chimney and a courtyard at the back.

10:19And that completes our blacksmith. The next step was to continue building the houses around our

10:24central village green and for these I wanted to build a row of classic brick terraced houses. I used

10:29dark oak for the front door and then built a small bay window on the front. I continued this for

10:33all three

10:33houses and also added some colour with leaves and vines. After adding a few small front gardens I placed

10:39some windows on the back of the house too and then sectioned off some back gardens with spruce trap doors.

10:43I added life with some chimneys on the roof and that completes these houses.

10:48Now next up and another essential to the village. It's time we added a village bakery. I've gone for

10:53stone paired with a deep slate roof and then added a small overhang and bay window to the front.

10:57From here I textured the walls with a variety of stone blocks and gravel with some moss sprinkled in

11:01there too. I then placed a sign on the front to give it a name and then finished with a

11:05small overhang

11:05and leaves on this side wall. Now attached to this we've got space for another residential house.

11:12Something my Italian village lacked so I'm trying not to make the same mistake here.

11:19I finished by adding some chimneys on top and that completes this house.

11:25Now so far we've built a farm, a church, some village houses and shops and even a large manor

11:30with tennis court. But there's one obvious thing we're missing so far. That is of course a village

11:34pub. Now I dedicated this spot for it all the way back at the start and this building again is

11:38inspired by one from real life. Now after getting the main shape I added a door on the front and

11:41some

11:42bay windows either side. I then built an extension on the back to give us some more space on the

11:45interior and then added a couple chimneys on top. Now no good pub is complete without a pub garden so

11:51after adding a side entrance I built a wall around the edge and filled the inside with some benches

11:55to sit down. I finished by adding some trees around the side and some other small details.

12:00And that completes our pub.

12:04Now next up it's time we added some more townhouses and I thought this would be the perfect spot for

12:08them.

12:09I've used a variety of colours here to try to replicate real life and to make each house feel

12:12different from the next. I especially love how this bay window turned out on this house. I finished

12:17up detailing these last three houses and then thought a few roof windows would look great on

12:21this one. The last thing to do was to fence off some gardens around the back and finished with a

12:25tight alleyway running between them. And that's these houses complete.

12:30Now another key building we need is a village hall and we've got the perfect spot for one on this

12:34corner. I've used bricks as the main material here and topped it off with a deep slate roof.

12:38I've also added patches of cobblestone and tuft to create this weathered effect.

12:41From here I added windows either side and changed the front section to sandstone and

12:45then finished with some smaller details all around. Of course not forgetting a sign on the front.

12:52Now it's time we took a break from this side and head across the river to work on the local

12:56football pitch. Now before building we had to do a little terraforming and deforestation.

13:00Before starting step one of creating the pitch outline. Of course we made a nice pitch pattern

13:04using lines of moss blocks and then it was time to add the goals keeping it realistic with some

13:08worn out grass. After adding one on the other side it was then time to add some corner flags

13:12using fences and glass panes. From here we had some wildlife in the way so I quickly took care of

13:17that before adding some detail around the edge. Now we'll also need some dugouts for the subs and

13:21staff complete with candles in front to look like water bottles. I then installed a fence around the

13:26edge and then built a simple car park just in front. Of course riddled with potholes.

13:30And that completes our football pitch. Now no club is complete without a clubhouse nearby to

13:35house the changing rooms and showers. Here I've gone for a simple brick and granite building with

13:39a deep slate roof using pale oak wood to add some details. I then ran a path around the side

13:43to a

13:43back entrance along with some windows to the walls and then finished with a sign with the club's name

13:47on the front. And that completes our clubhouse. Now as well as the pitch the next step was to add

13:53a

13:53play field and park. So I began by building a small play area complete with climbing frame and slides.

13:57I also added this simple seesaw and finished with a trampoline and sandpit. From here I installed a

14:02fence around the edge as well as some picnic tables just in front. Now my local park has a

14:06basketball hoop so I placed in one of these just next door. All that was left was to detail the

14:11surrounding area with bushes and trees all the way around. Complete with a small pond and bench to sit

14:15down. And we're done. With the park complete it's time we headed back over the river to work on some

14:22more houses. Now just before we start we need to make a bit more space for building. So that meant

14:26reshaping the river and expanding the land. Now this left quite a mess underwater so I spent a

14:31while terraforming to get it back looking natural. And with this new land I can now move the old road

14:35over giving us more space to build. Getting started with the first house now and as these are by the

14:39river I wanted to make them slightly nicer than the other houses. You know these are going to be some

14:42of the more expensive houses in town. I made sure to include some nice bay windows to really take in

14:46the views and then placed a small overhang above the front door. After adding some windows and

14:50details above I built a simple extension on the side to improve this blank wall we had.

14:54And then placed in some windows and door on the back. I added a simple garden back here

14:58sectioned with some bushes and of course added a front garden too. The final touch was a couple

15:02chimneys on the roof and that completes the first house. Moving just next door we've got space for

15:08another larger house. I wanted to go with the same grand theme again including a nice bay window on the

15:13front. I extended the right side with a small garage and then built a chimney up the left wall.

15:22It was then time to add some details to help blend it in with the surrounding area and we of

15:26course

15:26couldn't forget to add a garden around the back. And that completes house 2. Now the last thing to do

15:32was to detail our new riverbank with custom trees and plants and we obviously had to add some benches

15:36to appreciate the riverside views. And that completes the first riverside houses.

15:41Now we've got space for a few more along the river but first it's important we also focus on the

15:46smaller details and not just the main buildings. So here I've designed some classic British postboxes

15:51and dotted them all over our village. Now it's time to get building some more houses. I've got

15:55the last two of the riverside plots to build now and after making a slight adjustment to the road

15:59I've begun by building up the walls using a collection of white block. And after blending

16:03them together I placed on a deep slate roof with some mossy cobblestone for a sign of age.

16:07It was now time to add the door and windows to the front and I've also used spruce leaves here

16:10to

16:10continue that overgrown feel. I then placed in some windows on the back along with a small extension

16:14which always helps to improve a boring flat wall. After building a couple chimneys up top I added a

16:19simple garden around the back and finished with a small dock for access to the river.

16:25Moving over to the house next door now and I began this one with a black stone base

16:29followed by a grey and blue gradient for the walls.

16:34After adding the roof it was then time to add the door and windows to the front.

16:38Next I added some chimneys either side and also felt we needed some windows up here too.

16:42I then sectioned off the back garden and placed in some custom trees and couldn't forget a small

16:46boat dock for this house as well. I finished by detailing the garden with plants and flowers and

16:51a small bench to sit down and relax. And we're done.

16:56Switching it up from the houses it's now time we worked on a boat dock. I began by building a

17:00small

17:01hut where you'd go to hire out the boats. I just kept this simple using brick with a deep slate

17:04roof.

17:05I then went around the back and used spruce planks to add some decking over the water and then it

17:08was

17:08time to make some boats. I started off with this dark oak design and alternated this with a spruce wood

17:13version. I placed these all along the decking and then attached them to fences using some leads.

17:18From here I added a few more details with some custom trees around the side and that completes

17:22our boat dock. Now next door to this I wanted to add a riverside restaurant perfect to recharge

17:27after being out on the boats. Now after adding this roof window I wanted to add some outdoor seating

17:37perfect place to sit down and take in the views when it's not rainy of course. I finished with a

17:42few

17:42more details around and some trees behind and that completes the riverside restaurant.

17:47It was now time to connect this with the rest of the village so I added a small path along

17:51with this

17:51road down the middle and to fill this large space I thought a field would be perfect so I ran

17:55a stone

17:56wall around the edge and then added the farmland and crops inside. From here I placed in some trees

18:01around the edge as well as leaves against the wall and then ran a path around the side. The next

18:05step was

18:05to detail this river bank and I also thought a fishing dock here would be perfect. To fill this

18:10final space I added some paths and trees to create a small woodland area and finished with a simple

18:14pond inside. And this might be my favourite area I've built so far. Now although we've built a boat dock

18:20we're currently missing boats along the river and we don't want that so I quickly added some all the

18:24way along and already the river is feeling much more alive. Now another key building our village needs

18:31is a primary school. So as always I started off with the rough outline before then building up the

18:36walls with brick and adding the main entrance to the front. From here I used deep slate tiles for

18:40the roof and then added windows all the way around the build. Now after adding some greenery and colour

18:44the next step was to add a wall to section it off from the road. I then built a small

18:48playground in

18:48the front including this hopscotch in the corner. Now around the back I sectioned off this playing field

18:53surrounded by trees for the added privacy and finished with smaller details like this bench and of

18:58course a football goal. I added a sign to give it a name and that completes the village school.

19:04Now we've got some space to fill just opposite this so I started by adding some gardens to these

19:08houses we built a while ago and then decided to build another house just in front.

19:16I finished by adding a tight alleyway down the back and then detailed a small garden to the side

19:20and that completes this house. Now we've got a bit more space across the road and right now the

19:26village is lacking much semi-detached housing so let's add some more. I started with a two-tone design

19:30for this but quickly went for a more realistic build keeping them both the same colour. I made

19:34sure to include some nice front gardens as well as some around the back too. I decided to make one

19:38of these a village dentist and as they all seem to be semi-detached houses in the UK I felt

19:43this was

19:43the perfect fit. Okay now we're going to work on the right side of the village and I planned two

19:48buildings here all the way back at the start with the first one being a brick detached house. I used

19:53deep slate for the roof before then texturing the walls with granite. I feel that these blocks just work

19:57perfect together. From here I added some windows to the front as well as to the side and then added

20:01this simple drain pipe design using fences with a hopper on top. Next up was to add detail and colour

20:06easily the fastest way to take any build to the next level. I finished by fencing off a garden to

20:10the side of course complete with a wooden bench and that completes the first house. Now just across the

20:17road from this I'm finally building something I know you've all been waiting for something every

20:20British town needs and that is of course a fish and chip shop. I've gone for a stone and deep

20:24slate design here with mossy cobblestone mixed in to show a sign of age and like what seems to be

20:29with every chip shop there's going to be some housing on the upper floor so I've added a staircase

20:32on the outside for direct access. After adding a small extension to the left side it was time we

20:37made the most of the riverside location so I first expanded the land to give us more space and then

20:41added some outside seating for those few days a year we don't have any rain. I finished with a small

20:46dock to give access to the boats and then hung a sign above the front door and that completes our

20:51chip shop.

20:54Now heading just across the river one thing I've been wanting to add is an allotment a place where

20:58the villagers can rent a plot to grow their own crops so I decided to replace a small field we

21:02had

21:02and divided it up into 12 sections. I then added all different kinds of crops for a nice variety of

21:07colour and finished by designing a few small sheds and dotted these around two and that completes our

21:12allotment. Now the next thing on my list was to build a train station and I picked this spot for

21:19it just above the farm. The first thing to do was to clear some space to make room for building

21:23and

21:23that meant removing all trees and rocks in the area. Next I lay down a simple track design using

21:27stairs and slabs with some dirt and gravel underneath. Now I'm going to be extending this

21:31road and building a level crossing but we'll get back to that a bit later but now the focus is

21:35on

21:35the main platform and the station building. I wanted to go for that classic old school train station

21:39this is inspired by one from the late 1800s. Now after adding some texturing to the roof it was time

21:44to add

21:44the doors and windows to the front and I then built a small extension off to the side. I added

21:48some

21:48windows and detail to the back wall and then it was time to add our overhang above the platform

21:52essential for those rainy British days. I topped the roof off with some chimneys and then built some

21:57small brick walls around the edge. All that's left was some finishing touches starting with this buffer

22:01stop at the end of the track and I finished with some benches to sit down along the platform.

22:09Now it's time to get to that level crossing I mentioned earlier so I started by continuing our road

22:13design across the other side and then built both the gates and lights to complete the crossing.

22:21Now after connecting the station to the road with a small path I placed custom trees all around the

22:25outside to help blend it in with the surroundings and then decided that I also wanted a car park so

22:29I removed some of these trees and built one just next door of course riddled with potholes just like

22:33real life. Now you may have realized that the track just goes to nowhere but don't worry we'll be

22:38extending that later in the video but for now that completes our train station. I really love how this one

22:42turned out.

22:45Now next up we're heading back over to the large manor and going to build a horse stable attached to

22:50it.

22:50I began by removing some trees next door to create some space then built a gate to connect it to

22:54the

22:54back garden. From here it was time to build the rough shape of the stable and I've kept the same

22:58block palette as the manor using bricks for the walls and deep slate for the roof. Now I've included

23:03three separate stables along with the tack room and then built a larger storage building at the end.

23:07From here I added a path along the front and then some smaller details to the side like this hay

23:11bell stack and this log pile. All that was left was to move in some horses and that completes our

23:16stable. Now obviously as well as the stable we also need a horse field somewhere to safely ride the

23:22horses and give them some exercise. So after fencing a large area I textured the inside with moss and

23:27green concrete powder and then added a gate at the front to access. I finished by adding some benches

23:32along the edge and planting some trees around the whole perimeter. And that completes our horse field.

23:40As the village is steadily growing we're going to need some more housing and just like real life

23:44a new build estate is the only answer. So the first step of course is to find an untouched piece

23:49of

23:49countryside to destroy. That includes removing trees and ensuring that all wildlife is no longer.

23:53With that dealt with step two was to tidy up the terrain. You see our destruction revealed quite a

23:57mess so we want to fill in any holes and patch up all pools of water and cave entrances. Now

24:02you might

24:02be wondering what do the locals think of all this? Well we did actually hold a meeting in the village

24:06hall which as you can see didn't go down too well. Now of course just like real life construction went

24:12ahead anyway. Now this leads us to step three which is terraforming. Now although we removed all trees

24:16and caves we still need to smooth it out a little and make our lives easier when it comes to

24:20building.

24:20You can see the massive difference we've made already. With the terraforming complete we can now start

24:25the final step which is planning. I started with the main road through the estate using red concrete

24:29and then used yellow to show some smaller roads throughout. The last thing to do was to map out

24:33and rough plan for the houses and as this is a new build estate we need to ensure the houses

24:37are as

24:38compact as possible. And that completes the layout. With the layout complete it's time we added some

24:44houses to the estate starting with this one. A pair of semi-attached houses. Now of course we had to

24:49go

24:49with brick here as that's what's mainly used in these kind of houses. After adding the door and windows

24:53I added a small arch on the roof for a bit more visual interest and then repeated the exact same

24:57for the house next door. Moving to the back I repeated the same door and windows as the front

25:01and then sectioned off some small gardens. I finished with a tiny amount of parking at the front

25:06and that's the first building complete. Moving to the next building now and again we're continuing

25:11with another semi-detached house. Now this one in particular was directly inspired by this house

25:15that I found online and I feel that it fits this estate perfectly. I finished adding the door and

25:20windows to the front and then added these small simple hanging baskets using a plant pot with a

25:24lever just above. Of course we had to add some windows to the back walls too and then I fenced

25:28off the gardens with some spruce trap doors. I finished with a couple small gardens around the front

25:32and that completes house too. Now so far the estate is lacking a lot of colour which of course is

25:38intentional but I wanted to change it up slightly on this one to help contrast from the bricks around it.

25:47I once again finished by adding some small gardens around the back and that's house three complete.

25:52Now before any more building I wanted to add the roads throughout the estate just so it starts to

25:56take a bit more shape. Okay let's get to adding some larger houses now. For this first one I've used

26:03sandstone with brick to create a nice contrast and after adding some texture I began by adding the

26:07door to the front with a small overhang above and then some windows to the walls either side.

26:13I then headed around the back and added this extension again using sandstone for some contrast

26:17and then I didn't like the current location so I moved it across the road before then detailing a

26:21small garden around the front. From here I added a driveway to the side along with the garage just

26:26behind and then detailed the garden around the back including this easy hot tub design in the

26:30corner. A place to relax on a rare sunny day. Now just next door we've got another plot marked for

26:39and detached house. This one uses the same colour palette just like they do in real life.

26:43But we've gone for a slightly different shape. Now after some texturing I added the door and some

26:46windows to the brick side before then moving over and detailing the sandstone section. From here I

26:51headed around the back to add some windows including my attempt at a french door and then added the

26:55front garden and driveway as well as a garage just behind.

27:01Of course I had to add a back garden to this house too along with some trees around the edge

27:05for some

27:05privacy and I finished with some smaller details around the house obviously including some wheelie bins.

27:13So that's the bigger houses done and now we need a set of smaller terraced houses again keeping with

27:17the brick and deep slate theme. I began by adding the windows and doors to the front and then repeated

27:23this over to each house. I then headed around the back to add the windows and doors back here too

27:28and

27:28then sectioned off three separate gardens where I gave a unique design to each one. I headed back

27:33around the front to add some parking using this sign and carpet trick to create some small lines

27:38between and that completes our terraced houses. With that one complete we've now got a nice selection

27:44of houses to use and just like in real life we're going to copy and paste these across the rest

27:48of

27:48the village. This is where the initial planning we did comes in useful as I knew roughly where to place

27:53each one.

27:56Now as these were just copy and pasted they're going to need some neatening up so I've gone through and

28:00added new paths to access gardens as well as some driveways next to some of the houses.

28:05I also made sure to add a few alleyways through the estate to make pedestrian life a little easier

28:09and somewhere for deals to take place. The final step was to connect the new estate to the rest of

28:15the village and I had this little area of land which I turned into a small green and of course

28:19added a

28:19few benches to sit down and relax. I built another path and bench along the edge of this river and

28:25this

28:25one has a nice view over the main village and that completes our new build estate.

28:33For the next part of the village we're taking a step back in time and building an old medieval

28:38castle. Now the first thing to do was to clear a space for building and this hill beside the

28:42train track was the perfect spot for it. After clearing the trees and doing some terraforming

28:46I started by planning out the towers and the walls using stone. Now you might be thinking this seems

28:51quite big compared to our village but this is actually inspired by a real life castle in the

28:55village of Framlingham. Now we of course want to be able to walk along the walls so I made them

28:58thicker and added a path above. It was then time to add some texture. Here I've started with deep

29:04slate at the bottom for a weathered look and faded upwards towards andesite and stone. From here it

29:09was time to add the smaller details starting with some leaves and flowers around the edge and then

29:13some arrow slits and larger windows to the walls. Now right now there's no way to enter the castle

29:17so I added a simple gate to one of the towers and then built a stone arch bridge over what

29:21once was

29:22a moat and textured this just like the castle walls. I then connected it with a dirt path to a

29:26new road

29:27extension with the same details as before of course riddled with potholes. I blended it in with some

29:31trees and then added a path under the bridge which I wrapped around the whole castle. Now the real

29:36life castle has an old workhouse inside built a few hundred years after the castle itself which

29:41today serves the purpose of an cafe and gift shop. And obviously the castle today isn't like it once was

29:47we need to add some wear and tear to make it feel more like ruins so I added holes all

29:50over the

29:51castle walls using stairs and slabs for extra detail. I filled the centre with tables for our guests to sit

29:56down and also built a small ticket booth on the front of the bridge. And that completes our castle.

30:06Okay let's get back to some house building now and this next one was actually built by WBC Builds,

30:12a fellow YouTuber who's known for his incredible British style houses. He decided to go for this

30:16late Georgian villa and I just love the realism and attention to detail he's managed to put into this one.

30:25Okay just above this one I wanted to continue with some more larger houses. The first step was to

30:29create a space for building and I chose this spot at the top of the village along the river. Now

30:33after

30:34clearing the land and smoothing the terrain I laid down some blocks to plan out the road which we'll

30:38get back to later. But now it's time to work on the first house and for this one I've gone

30:41for a Tudor

30:42style where the exposed wooden beams really define this whole look. I copied this to the back then topped it

30:47with a spruce roof with a dark oak trim. It was then time to add the door and windows to

30:51the front

30:51and to make the roof a bit more interesting I placed in a dormer window on this large section

30:55and then textured it with mud and copper stairs. Next it's time for the details and adding leaves

31:00and flowers really helps bring life and colour to any build. I built a simple stone chimney on this

31:05side wall and then it was time to add the gardens around the house. Of course including a nicely

31:09mowed lawn on the front and for the back I first surrounded it with trees and then added in some

31:13small details like this bench and this garden shed. Now we had a bit more space behind this so I

31:19extended the garden and built a swimming pool back here. Something a lot of rich houses have but would

31:23only be warm enough to use for about two weeks of the year. And that completes the first house.

31:29Moving over to the second house now and for this one I've gone for more of a modern style using

31:33brick

31:34and sandstone for a nice contrast. I added the door and windows to the front and then and double

31:38garage off to the side to store some expensive vehicles. After adding some texture I added the windows to

31:43the back wall as well as a chimney to the side. Now we need to blend it in with the

31:46rest of the village

31:47starting with the front garden then heading round the back and adding some smaller details finishing

31:51with a tennis court. And that completes house two. With the houses complete it was time to add a road

31:58and connect them to the rest of the village. I've course extended the riverbed detail too and then

32:03finished with a small woodland with a path winding through it. And that completes this extension.

32:10Moving just across from these houses we have another area that's perfect for building. And

32:14up to now our village is lacking a cricket field. A classic British sport found in most towns and

32:18villages. So firstly we had some trees in the way that needed to be removed and this actually left

32:23quite a mess. So the next step was to flatten the terrain and smooth out the edges. Now I continued

32:28the riverbed detail with views throughout the rest of the village. It's amazing how much difference a few

32:31blocks and flowers can make. And I also continued the riverside path to give a nice walking route for our

32:36villages. Now we obviously need an entrance. So I made a space in the trees and connected it to the

32:41nearby road. And from here it was time to make a small car park. So after clearing some space I

32:45laid

32:46down some stone and a site and gravel for a nice texture. And of course finished with some potholes

32:50to keep it realistic. Now every village cricket club needs and clubhouse of course. So I've built up

32:56a small one in this corner using calcite as the main block topped with a brick and granite roof.

33:03I built a decking around the front to give it a bit more shape and of course placed some leaves

33:06and

33:07flowers all around for a nice pop of colour. I finished with a hanging sign to give it a name

33:11and that completes our clubhouse. Now the final task was to work on the field starting with the

33:16pitch in the middle using moss blocks and green concrete powder and some wickets either side using

33:20birch fences. I enclosed the field with some leaves around the edge and then placed more moss and grass for

33:25a further touch of detail. I built a simple gate to separate the field from the car park and then

33:30used white concrete powder around the edge to create the boundary. The last thing to do was to

33:34add some benches for the spectators and that completes our cricket club. It's time now to head

33:40back to our train station and I started by replacing the stairs for anvils simply because I just think

33:45it looks much nicer. Now something else our station needs is of course a train so I had to add

33:50one in.

33:50I tried to keep it as realistic to a real life train as possible and I flipped this design to

33:54the back

33:54so we had one facing each direction. I moved it next to our platform and that's the train complete.

34:01Now you may remember from earlier that the track we've got now just kind of goes to nowhere so

34:06let's fix that. We first had to make some space for the extension and that meant removing any trees

34:10and rocks in its path. With that cleared we can now flatten the land and continue the track but

34:14we've quickly ran into a problem and that being we have a lake in the way. But all problems have

34:18a

34:18solution so let's build a bridge. I began with stone just to get the shape and had some terraforming

34:22to do on the other side to match the height. From here we can work on the actual bridge design

34:26where I went for some arches all the way along and finished with this simple detail along the top.

34:30Now for texturing I've used deep slate underwater to give it a wet appearance and then used a

34:34combination of tough stone bricks and andesite above. With the bridge in place we can now extend

34:38the rail and prepare this side of the lake for a tunnel which will build shortly. And that completes

34:43our bridge. Now just before the tunnel I wanted to detail the edge of the lake so just like the

34:48riverbanks in the village I've used a collection of dirt and mud blocks to give a nice texture and

34:52although it's a small change it really makes a massive difference. Now it's time to work on

34:56that tunnel but before building I had to extend this hill over slightly just so I had somewhere

35:00for the tunnel to go and I then replaced the trees back on top to keep the local council happy.

35:05For the tunnel I found this image online which I really liked. Quite a simple stone arch design with

35:09an overgrown feel. I extended this all the way into the hillside and then tested it by running the train

35:13through.

35:15And we're done.

35:21Just up from the train station we're now going to add the final extension to the village. As always

35:25that started with removing some trees and terraforming the land to make it nice and smooth.

35:30With the land prepped I built a new track alongside our existing field which will go through and connect

35:34to a new road we build shortly. With that done we can now work on the first building which will

35:39be

35:39our old farmhouse. After getting the main shape I added the windows and door to the front and then

35:43built up this extension to the side. Around the back I built another small extension and then added

35:47the door and windows back here too. I then used this simple chimney design on both sides before

35:53heading to the front and adding some more windows to the roof. It's now time to add some life to

35:59the

35:59build and you guys should know this by now we're going to add some leaves and flowers all the way

36:03around to really take it to the next level. Now the house on its own looks quite out of place

36:07so we

36:08need to blend it in with the rest of the village. So I started by adding a nice front garden

36:11and then

36:12surrounded this with trees for the privacy. And as we buy the river it would be rude not to include

36:18a small boat dock. I filled in the back garden with some vegetable plots and of course a small

36:22football goal. And then overlooking the river I built this wooden garden room inspired by the

36:26ones you see in real life. And that completes our farmhouse. After extending the road next up was

36:33to add an old storage building just next door. A further place for our farmer to store equipment and

36:38materials used on the farm. With the buildings complete it was now time to tackle the field

36:48opposite. So after wrapping a wall around the edge and separating it into two I added some details to

36:52each field. Of course including some trees around the sides. And the final step was to populate each

36:57field with some livestock. Now just before we see the final village we have one small issue. Most of

37:06these buildings have just been left empty. And there's quite a few of them. So it's time we

37:09finally fixed that. With the help of over 30 other creators we've completely filled every building in

37:14the village. From the large country manor all the way to the cozy houses around the village green. You

37:18can find everyone who helped in the caption below. Now some of these interiors are more than just

37:21decorative. We've hidden various secrets throughout the village from simple redstone doors to a full

37:25underground tunnel system. You see I didn't just want this to look great but to also be a fun

37:29experience for those who explore it. With the village now complete it's about time we got some

37:33residents in here. This step alone has really helped to bring that final touch of life to the

37:37village. Now if you'd like to explore the village for yourself there's a free interactive map on my

37:41website guerrillabuild. With every building pinned and a 3d guide for each one. You can also download

37:46the full world for java and bedrock as well as all schematics too. Link is down below. Now that's

37:51enough waiting around. Let's see the final result.
