On my Xbox 360 Slim my daughter and I built a village. I actually forgot about it... No pictures would not even know how to take them except by cell and that looks kindda bad. I actually stopped playing the game; I am "taking a break" I'll go back to it one day. She still goes on and builds sky towers, floating mansions and that stuff.

I have a small Hobbit hole build I really like which I did a few years ago when I finally got shaders working (try, try, try, try, try, try again until you finally figure it out!).
It looked pretty nice IMO with the right texture pack and shaders, I'll try to get a few screenies. But I'm not a creative builder. I love love love Pearlescent Moon's YT channel for building but it utterly kills me because I can't do that stuff at all. Same goes for GeminiTay, LD Shadowlady and even wattles. I will not even watch smallishbeans' builds as I might as well just quit attempting to be a creative person altogether.

I my currently making a city (a low quality one at best) on my Xbox One called “Trensico City”. (It do have a cool sign and miner area tho, in creative of course!)
Edit: I said currently but auto correct changed it to urgently for some reason lol

I built one of the prettiest houses I'd ever made. It had a complex roof design and incorporated many different types of blocks, it even had one of those pretty victorian tower things... and then I added a fireplace... The whole thing went up in flames and I deleted the whole world-
It was a sad day.

Always a good time quoting yourself. I have 79 MC worlds, few of which are descriptively labeled. This might take some time...

I had built this for a Minecraft build competition a few months ago, not really my best build but it's up there. Haven't played Minecraft in a few months though..
Wish I had more screenshots, these screenshots barely show the build..

Ah yes, I forgot. I only play in Survival mode as I'm not creative enough to play, well, in Creative mode. So everything I build is from materials generated in-game while playing. Hey, at least it's a good excuse for why my builds are boring!
Anyhow, this one came from a low point when I was burnt out on MC, wandering aimlessly for a day or two and came across a small blob of stone topped with dirt sticking straight up from a high hanging valley. Having watched a few Sky Island videos, I decided to do the same from this sky peninsula and commenced building atop the blob, using what was left in my inventory from the wanderings and the few materials afforded by the blob.
My house is an apartment above one of the villager barracks on the other side of the Snowtel in the foreground. Some villagers have moved from the barracks into Snowtel. The house to the left of Snowtel is one of the kids' ones. Another one was ehm, demolished to make room for the Snowtel. Spleef Arena at far right, triple-decker mob farm behind it, small swimming pool + fishing area to the L of that. Next comes veggie patch and behind the Snowtel is Cow and Pig yard. You can see the one tree, and colored sheep pen next to Snowtel. There's a lower level under the main deck where the Nether Portal is and the villagers like to accumulate. It was a fun build to make over a few weeks!
And yes, I've fallen off a few times. And so take the opportunity to light up the land below to get the mob farm working better. Lemons, lemonade, that whole thing.

Here are 2 more, just because I enjoyed making them, like the previous one. I've gone through most of my old worlds and the one I'm looking for is concerningly absent.
Flat plains world, old as you can see from the old style villages. Modern house from an online plan, Roman Villa was a miniature practice from an IRL picture for a larger build which never happened.
A collection of mini-henges, each has a purpose, most beneath the surface: House, Nether Portal, Brewing, Enchanting, Mining, Azalea sanctuary, Bee Sanctuary, Axolotl Sanctuary. Second one at night with custom textures, also in the rain, lol.

Wow, kindda a shame that most of my old worlds are actually on a Xbox 360, can't really take nice pictures, but that's probably just my lack of skill.
@Lew Zealand your village is really nice! The Stonehenge's are really neat, especially how they light up!

I recreated part of Pelican Town (just the saloon, Pierre’s, the clinic, Pam’s trailer, and the Mullner’s house). I’m pretty proud, but I had forgotten about it. Maybe I should finish it.

Have you seen the one done by UnsurpassibleZ on youtube?
They used multi teiring undergroundto have accurate block to block sizes which is both a but confusing and super interesting.
Good luck and good day.

A few years ago when I still played on a console, I made an amazing kingdom that I impressed not only myself but a lot of my friends with. Not to boast but I must say it was really detailed and organized for a newbie like me at that time! Those fond memories still make me smile till this day.

OMG, all these pictures are so good, detailed and inspiring! Too bad I didn't take pictures of my own work, because they're pretty impressive too. Thanks to minecraftforfreex.com I learned how to play for free, and since then I do it all my free time. I consider my best work to be Central Park in New York City. I spent almost my entire summer on it. And not once have I regretted it! Such good times. I spend less time playing games now because I've made new friends. I enjoy spending time with them, and also with my girlfriend (she doesn't like it when I play). Nevertheless, I still sometimes relax this way after work. It's quite satisfying.

I play minecraft almost the same way as I play minecraft so as you know pretty little amounts of building and more farms and "quick play".
I like hopping onto random servers that are starting up and speedrun maxed out netherite gear (all the enchants, not like thorns though), my current fastest is 35 in game days over about 7 hours which I thought was ok.
I want to get into building but I like constructing monuments moreso than builds and my current build is a teired drained ocean monument that's fully made of "hot colour" glass that gets warmer as you go up and the entire monument will be a massive aquarium inside.
It is going to take a long time and I've only just started on initial draining so I have quite a bit ahead of me but I'll take it slow and enjoy.

I create a new SuperFlat world about once a year, sometimes in a different biome to see what the challenges of limited blocks are, but just did Plains (easy, cuz Villages) this year. But I made it in 1.19.2 so Slimes spawn everywhere, oops. No biggie, I found a relatively Slime-free area near a ruined Portal I could fix up, and some Pillager neighbors, along with a few local villages. I realize now that my pic doesn't even show that, lol! Only ~20 days in and I've died in the Nether about 4 times so far, ugh... Here it is, maybe I'll take another actually good one with the neighbors.
Little House on the Prairie
I play with Seus PTGI shaders and Patrix x64 texture pack and 32 chunk render distance, though I'll reduce that when building sometimes. I forgot to this time!

Died a few more times in Nether, visited some more neighbors, set render distance to 48 and piled up to take another pic. Will build more buildings for other uses, we'll see how this village ends up...
