Minecraft player builds enchantingly beautiful castle out of amethyst blocks

A Minecraft player and Reddit user named u/Strict-Expert-6949 shared some images on a subreddit where talented builders share their large builds in the blocky world. The pictures showed a massive purple castle built on a frozen ocean. The color combination of blue and purple gives the entire structure a very unique look. The original poster mentioned that the entire castle was built using only amethyst blocks.

Impressive base builds in Minecraft

Minecraft players have showcased incredible creativity with their builds, such as massive castles and large planned villages. Castles are commonly built using stone bricks, cobblestone, and smooth stone for a medieval look, while wood planks and logs are popular for cozy village houses.

The amethyst block is somewhat rare in Minecraft and is known for its vibrant purple color and distinct sound. When a player walks on it, the block plays a sound.

It can be obtained from amethyst geodes, which are naturally generated underground structures. Players can come across these structures when exploring large caves. This is not the only item used to make color-themed castles. Recently, another player shared some images of a pink castle made from cherry blossom wood blocks.

Using cobblestone, smooth stone, and wood, a player created a massive gothic castle. These structures show how Minecraft allows one to create almost anything they want in-game.
