Minecraft skyscrapers are hard

In this Mumbo Jumbo Minecraft video, Mumbo tries building Minecraft skyscrapers for the first time in a decade. Minecraft skyscrapers often look really bad – reminiscent of 2012 Minecraft constructions. Today I hope to change that by learning the rules of how they work.

  1. The tower at the back is definitely looking to Mumbo's right side clutching a grey box with its arms and legs. Also, very cute.
    Meanwhile the other corner of the tower is screaming to Mumbo's left holding its red hurting belly.

    Is it a Janus tower?

  2. Hey mumbo, I implore you to not forget about the street level. I am sure you have already thought about this, but navigating the streets of such a dense city can be very immersive and cool

  3. this whole build is reminding me of the big tescos near me thats nice at the front but massively run down everywhere else. like theres a whole apartment block on top of part of it

  4. I think the red building works nice with the darker one in front of it, would the red one stand alone it would not look that good.
    If there are some more darker skyscrapers around the red one, it would be an outstanding view.
    And I imagine one really hightech and polished skyscraper in the Middle of them all, where the elite of the elite is living would make an really nice look.

    I'm looking forward to what you have in mind and love to see the results!

  5. In Hong Kong there are these sort of sky bridges that run between a lot of buildings, maybe that could be a cool idea to make the skyscrapers more cohesive? It would also make the buildings feel way more lived in

  6. thinking about building as jazz is actually such a helpful analogy. Also as someone who is currently trying to learn to build with nothing but a maximalist aesthetic and a bad habit of never finishing any gaming projects ever, I'm really enjoying your building journey these past two seasons. It's very inspiring!

  7. Hey mumbo I was just thinking what would be cool in the skyscrapers would be to like theme each one like with a shop for something and then build a farm inside

  8. Please check out Simon Stalenhag. His art is amazing and I think it would be a great inspiration for the style you are going for.
