I first started playing Minecraft back in mid-2010, when I was 10 years old. From the moment I started to play I was constantly trying out and new building concepts and structure designs. Even was I wasn't playing; I was thinking about what I should build next and what it was going to look like.
I am now close to 17 years old with thousands of Minecraft hours in experience. I've designed bridges, towns, homesteads, parliaments, small cities, realistic railway systems, villas, you name it. From making a wooden plank box for a house to pioneering new types of architectural art, playing Minecraft was no longer a skill of my but a personal talent - from what other players have pointed out at least.
I often try combining styles of architect from real life and incorporating them into Minecraft to see what types of results I could get. I often challenge myself by filling giant building with original designs everywhere, and squeezing in the most I can into much smaller buildings without it becoming claustrophobic.
Combining different styles of architect is a hobby of mine when I build - Gothic with Roman, Mayan with Egyption, even Romanesque with Elizabethan. Sometimes I will take the pillars from one style, the roof from another, and combine them to the interiors of one last one. Of course I don't copy these designs by every detail, they are only an inspiration to my own original concepts.
Something that is a con to me but a pro to others is how extremely picky I am with getting my creations perfect. I pay attention to every blocks position and purpose as even one block can change a player's perspective on an area. I consider it a con as it requires great amount of effort to get right, but a pro to others because of the final result.
I almost always work alone, but I when I am working with other players it is a pleasure to me. It's interesting to combine two player's styles together, as you get the best of both designs. It is not only fun for me as well, but I good opportunity to hear other's positive criticism on my work as I am always looking to improve.
Another specialty of mine is working with nature. Almost every time I am building a structure I am also editing or even creating all of the surrounding land. I have gained so much experience from doing so that I know exactly what looks natural, what looks unnatural, and what looks better than natural. I am always fidgeting with tree placement, water flow, lake shapes, shrub patterns, what looks “random” and what does not.
What I really love to do sometimes is take creations from other players, leave my favourite things about it then replace what I think isn’t the best with my own ideas, then edit the whole thing until it is something brand new. This is another reason why I love working in teams, and this is the perfect experience to try that out as much as possible.
Recapping some personal traits about myself: I’m very picky about my own work (but always appreciative towards other’s), stressing out is alien to me, love working with other players and combining our ideas, and I’ve got a mind that never stops thinking of new ideas outside of the box.
Now diverting away from my building virtues and focusing on time management: I've graduated High School already and won't be in college for another 6 months, or (unlikely but possibly) even a year. I don't work at moment but if I did, it'd only be part time. I'm very rarely busy meaning I am ready to build almost all the time. Although staying on the computer all day may or may not take a toll on my health but who knows! I should note that I never get stressed out even when facing great difficulty.
Anyway, that’s really all I got to say about that. I appreciate you reading my novel application. I’ve never applied for something to this extent within Minecraft before, so I do hope to get in.
