Desert is one of the dullest and most barren biomes in Minecraft. If a player stumbles upon a large Desert, they can have trouble surviving since there are no trees and only a few rabbits for food. However, it offers a great space to create a large castle or even a pyramid in it.

Since the desert has an abundance of sand, players can create sandstone and build a castle from it. Desert castles can not only stand out in the barren land but can also act as a safe haven that can be stocked with important resources.

This way, players can easily spot the castle and stay in it while exploring other parts of the world. It can be a great alternative castle to live in.


2) Taiga

The Taiga biome is also a great spot to build a small castle. Since players will be building the castle in the Taiga, they will have access to spruce wood. This wood type is widely accepted as one of the best wood to build structures.

Players can simply clear out a space in the forest and start building the castle. Apart from spruce, stone bricks and deepslate bricks can also be used to give the castle a fitting look for the biome.


3) Stony Peaks

Mountains and castles have always been a special combination in films, books, and other fictional content. Since Minecraft has some of the most stunning-looking mountain biomes, like Stony Peaks, it can be a perfect place to create a castle.

Since the castle will be extremely tall and look over the land around it, it can have a mysterious or menacing touch. Players can either build it with regular stone bricks blocks to make it a regular castle or use deepslate bricks for a darker, more evil look.

In both ways, Stony Peaks can be a great biome to make a castle, even though players will need to work a little harder to make the base flat and work their way up.


4) End

The End realm is one of the most empty dimensions in Minecraft. Apart from End Cities, it does not have any structure. Most End islands only have a bunch of chorus trees and endermen. This is why many players are eagerly waiting for Mojang to release an End update. As of now, there is radio silence from the developers.

While players wait, they themselves can do something about updating the End and create some of the most unique-looking castles in the End. The castles can be completely floating in the void to better depict the levitation effect in the dimension. Otherwise a regular land-based castle can also be built.
