Hi guys, Greytopher here with another medieval houses series episode. In this episode, I will be talking about making roofs, and the different types of roofs and sequences to make them!



Blocks and Sizes

Making the build is one thing, but making the roof is completely different. It brings together the build, and it reallyl looks empty without a good roof. Let's start on the simple stuff: block choice and how to use it.

Your block pallet is very simple: roofs, on a medieval house, are very easy to make. They are very fun, in my opinion, since they are slanted and have a certain sequence to them. Now, let's not get ahead of ourselves, we're here to talk about the block pallet. Your block pallet consists of mainly woods and stone, like all medieval builds. Usually, they're cobblestone and stonebrick, since those two blocks vary since they also have slabs and stairs for them. Since I use obsidian, the roof will look more blocky than a slanted look, we want our roofs to look slanted but curved, not slanted and blocky.

Your roof will hang one block off of the walls, giving it that 3D look. This will bring (once again) realism into your build, making it more pleasing than ever before. If not, the build will look, if I dare say, fugly. Trust me, building these for a while gets you to know what not to do.


Building Sequence

Your roof will have a sequence; or a better word for it, a pattern. It will gradually rise, and form a slant if you follow my instructions. When making your roof, be sure that your walls are odd (3, 5, 7, ect.) so that they don't form a double roof above, only one block shall take it's place (a better explanation in the video).

You first start out going up one over one, and you do that 3 to 4 times, depending on your preference. Then, go up two over one, gradually going up till you hit the middle. Then, take your other side and do the same, connecting the two roofs. The very top part of the roof will meet, and you will have your slant. Connect the rest of the roof and there you have it; you've got your roof!

XD Oh well either way I think it's a great way to gain some fans, think you could do a special booth giveaway of something. I was going to use some connections to take roles in someone elses booth, but for now I remain a civilian :D it's a good feeling

I always use the default, I don't like to use texturepacks. Only if they're required by a server, I like to stay true to the default ;P
