Hey everyone.

I have been having something of a "builder's block" recently. I have troubles actually completing builds and I am beginning to doubt my work. I would like you guys to check out my page and tell me if my work should continue. I am currently part of a build team, but even there I am lacking inspiration.

Strange_Chemicalsbut yeah, i noticed your builds are in similar styles. maybe dabble in some other types of builds. i've been building mostly medieval during my time here, and only recently realized modern is where it's at.

Aint that the truth. It's a PMC takeover nowadays. But while everyone was encouraging me to keep building, I made another medieval build, Cliffview Manor. That was fun, but I am ready for a break now, maybe experimentation into something new.

If you want to check out that build, go here --> http://www.planetminecraft.com/project/ ... val-build/

i agree with the people in this thread. go ahead and take a break. i've been taking a break, too. (a 2 month long break, but don't tell anyone)

but yeah, i noticed your builds are in similar styles. maybe dabble in some other types of builds. i've been building mostly medieval during my time here, and only recently realized modern is where it's at.

so that's my advice

If you don't feel like you should be building anything, or you feel like it's more of a chore, just take a break from minecraft in general. Play some other games, maybe take in some architecture from the other, and when you feel ready to build again, do it.

That's what I did (I still suck at building, though).

Lol, alright, I can try this. Architecture is actually a passion of mine in real life, too though.

Same here lol

I'm taking some Architecture and Tech Drawing classes in high school, at the moment.

With some of the things I've learned in that class, I should try and build some more realistic houses xD

Wow, that was almost poetic o.O

Well, I am not typically a cartoonish builder, but I do sometimes take inspiration from animes, cartoons, and video games ('specially Skyrim) for themes or builds. But anyways, thanks for the amazing feedback, I will try to continue building!

Keep building by all means. Even if your having some trouble now learning to get through blocks helps you to become a better builder.

i for one say "keep a rollin down the line!" meaning keep those projects a coming! i have "builders block" sometimes and when i do i usally go away from minecraft and do other things. if i watch a tv show or cartoon i usally get ideas from them. but your not a cartoonic builder are u? if your a builder then lifes a breath... you take in ideas and blow them out to the world...
just be cool and stay calm and it will start to come back.
good luck to you my friend!,

Thanks, shift_. It's nice to hear this from people, I rarely get a ton of attention for my builds. I would say the reason why I don't make out like a robber here on PMC would be because I don't typically do solo megabuilds, and I don't use Shaders and such... which is a shame.
