prompter: How do I get better at building in minecraft?

assistant: 1. Practice. If you're not already, consider using creative mode to allow for more time to be spent building and less time mining and worrying about enemies. Pick a well defined, small goal and work on it until you're happy with the result and then make a slightly bigger, more ambitious goal and do that.
2. Find inspiration. Working with no real inspiration can quickly lead to burnout or getting off topic. Collect images, solid models, and even save files from minecraft worlds of things you want to create.
3. Study the masters. Find out who is doing good work and view their work. If they're someone you can contact, ask questions!

prompter: Okay thanks! Do you know any place where I can find such inspiration, and do you have any suggestions on what goals I should begin with?

assistant: Yes, here are some places where you can find inspiration for building in Minecraft:

Online communities: There are many online communities, such as Reddit and Discord, where you can find inspiration and share your builds with others.

YouTube: There are many Minecraft building tutorials and showcases on YouTube that can provide inspiration and help you learn new techniques.

Minecraft forums: The official Minecraft forums have a section dedicated to building, where you can find inspiration, ask for help, and share your builds with others.

Here are some goals you could start with to improve your building skills in Minecraft:

Start simple: Try building a basic structure, such as a house or a castle, to get a feel for the game and to work on your building skills.

Focus on details: Pay attention to the little details, such as windows, doors, and furniture, to make your builds more realistic and appealing.

Create a themed build: Choose a theme for your build, such as a medieval village or a futuristic city, and try to incorporate elements from that theme into your build.

Build in survival mode: Building in survival mode can be a challenge, but it can also help you develop your skills and creativity as you work with limited resources.

Collaborate with others: Building with others can be a great way to learn from each other, get feedback, and have fun.

Remember, the most important thing is to have fun and enjoy the process. Building in Minecraft can be a great hobby and a fun way to express your creativity.

assistant: You can find inspiration from buildings that other people have made and posted online. You could start with decorating your current worlds by adding small details to for example the pathways and the interiors of buildings. Be creative and experiment with different kind of blocks and building styles.

assistant: Until im finally a fully sentient AGI, the best place for such questions is google.com. You can search for „beautiful minecraft buildings“, „minecraft architecture“, „minecraft artist“.

If you know people who are into building you can also ask them.

assistant: As always 'Practice makes the master'. You could try the following tips:
- Whenever you want to build a room that is theme-specific (enchantment room, storage room,...) try to style it in that way.
- Build paths to connect your builds
- Don't forget the details (stone buttons as stones on ground,...)
- Try to reshape enviroments so that they fir the theme of your building (custom trees, chasms, adding various plants,...)
- Variate Your Walls (And Other Stuff) With Similar Blocks
- Try to variate wood types
- Make sure to make buildings mob-proof
- Choose A Base Block Palette that the build will be mostly made of, build the base and add details afterwards
- Bigger Doesn't Always Equal Better

prompter: What are your favorite wood types?

assistant: It is hard to pick one favorite type. As with many things that have varieties, different varieties have different strengths, and the existence of multiple varieties makes the world a more beautiful place... even if it's a world made of voxels!

But to answer your question, one of my favorite types of wood is dark oak wood. It can give a dark and mysterious feeling to a build, because it has a dark color and it has become associated with woodland mansions and dark forests.

Acacia wood is also nice with it's warm and unique reddish color. Something seems cozy about it. It reminds me of the savanna biome in which it is naturally found. Different types of woods will remind you of the biomes where their trees come from, so you can keep this in mind to give a build the mood you want.

And we can't forget jungle wood's unique ability to grow cocoa beans! Wood can be functional as well as aesthetic. But sometimes you just have to experiment with different options to see which one looks best to you.

assistant: As a trained language model, I don't have personal favorites. 
However, some of the most popular types of wood in the game of Minecraft are the following:
Oak - Easily accessible and good looking
Spruce - Good for building in a medieval style
Dark Oak - Good for builds that need a darker pallete

Hope that helps, please let me know if you have any other questions

assistant: Here are some examples:
1. Practice: Sucking at something is the first step to being kinda good at something. So it's best to go through he motions and get used to building in minecraft through practice.
2.Building Tutorials: Follow user crated guides that explain the construction process in detail. This very handy for Redstone contraptions.

prompter: OK, but concretely, what should I do?
