One of the most impressive builds you can make in is that of a magnificent castle, but these structures are tough to make if you don't know where to start. Creating a large or small palace is a daunting task unless you take the right steps to simplify the construction process. You should be aware of various obstacles and possibilities to turn a difficult project into something feasible.

One way to start making a castle is to try to plan one out ahead of time on a flat world in Creative Mode. Although it won't move your project forward in a seed for survival, a castle built in an empty sandbox will let you experiment and test ideas in advance. This way, different problems can be solved without having to worry about limited resources or other factors.

For the sake of this article, the tips listed mostly apply to those trying to build a castle from scratch in Survival mode in a randomly generated world with various biomes, mobs, and normal encounters you would find in most seeds.
