Minecraft - Japanese-styled Castle | Half a Pound of Pixels

For other worlds I've worked on in Stream, see the menu in the "Minecraft pages" sidebar.

Update, 12 October 2024: Since the previous world's portals to the Nether all linked to the area the Ghast is haunting, I've started a new world.

If you want to try your hand at where I left off, you can download the worldfile download here. (Note, the file was created and used on Minecraft Bedrock, Windows 10, I do not have instructions on how to make it work for Mac or for Java.)

Note: maps generated using the most excellent tool uNmINeD - go check it out! (PC/Mac only.)

The rough plans for the main tower and the courtyards are in dirt. I believe the proper term is Kuruwa (曲輪), but I'm not 100% sure on that.

Note: I removed the stripped birch building on top of the man gate, because it looked like a plywood castle, and that just isn't where I see this going. We've started collecting some Deepslate Cobble, so I'm contemplating that material for the castle above the stone foundation. See Ōno Castle, Kushima Castle, and Nakatsu Castle in the Reference Pics below for real-world examples of how that looks.
