So, it seems like every body is plastering their pics of their latest mansion or sky skyscrapper and expecting people to marvel at the sheer size of their game wang wongs. It doesn't impress me one bit... especially knowing how many use the dup glitch to make these guady buildings. "Look wat I bileded! 40 foot monster cazzle wid lava windows N stuff! SO BIG Epic!" Great! Good for you. We know you dupped. Pat yourself on the back and move on.
Now, I'm not here to bash creativity. Dupping and building big piles of poop is not being creative. Any 5th grader can do it... and every 5th grader seems to be doing it.
I do really enjoy small buildings that do their job, yet pack a punch and cram so much into so little. It takes brain work to make things work like that... instead of simply building a tower to the clouds for the sake of it. These epic loads of crap are getting old. They are truly overrated. Creative mode will be raped for this reason. I too long for legit towns that aren't obviously over dupped. We'll see if that ever happens.
Example 1: Super Epic Mayan Pyramid
I believe this build got to a point of over doing I do say especially with the gold and glowstones.
Finally someone else who agrees with me. I hate seeing "epic" builds, but they're just huge skyscapers. Congratulations. You built one layer, and copied several more on top of it.
What I would classify as "epic" is a medium sized beach house with awesome design. Not some huge, too big to design, mansion.
Well, In a way I agree. But also, if the Mansion is made legit, It's quite an accomplishment.
To me it feels like people are making minecraft penises. Who has a bigger one? Let's build to the clouds. I mean really. Build some tricky **** with with redstone and pistons instead of stacking up wood and cobblestone and calling it a mansion.
Well then you obviously don't get it do you? People building guady structures just for size shock isn't being creative.
Oh don't get me wrong I completely agree with you. But come on, honestly you were bashing on peoples creativity when you said that.
Some are more creative than others. Like me for example, I can't just draw a person and NOT give them any details (color, highlights, emotions). When I see something dull it makes me wonder what they were aiming for. But then I have to remind myself "not everyone is as talented as you when it comes to creativity."
So if they make something let them feel proud about it. It's not harming you in anyway nor does it take away from your creativity in anyway. Know what I mean?
I tend to make big houses, really don't know why since when I eventually finish the walls, floor and ceilings, I struggle to fill the rooms, I don't dupe either (had people dupe on my game but haven't been able to go back to that world since) so now I am trying something a bit different, made a new world, got a nice small house, with a trap door that leads to my secret (well not really secret) bedroom that you can see from the hill opposite
But yeah anyways I kinda agree, not a huge huge fan of big epic builds, but then some of them are well.. epic. I like to see a bit of random and chaos in the mix, like a skyscraper that isnt a copy and paste from 2nd floor up etc.
Well yeah. I like pixel art and things that are obviously unreal good. But these guady pieces of garbage that these kids like to call Epic Mansions are rediculouness. I'm liking more and more the simple things in minecraft. It's a strange feeling.

Well I think anyone can build a cross in minecraft. Time consumption does not equal creativity. Just because they spent forever on something doesn't automatically equal an epic win. It just might be an epic waste of time.
So lets put it this way... If I want a city and I supposed to make every single building one floor just because somebody doesn't like that a building is tall. It should be about quality not quantity. Big or small what matters is the content. Even if 99% of the building is empty, it creates a city look. I have a large city map and even though theres no purpose for making buildings, since it's singleplayer, I am proud of what I've done and I haven't seen much people take as much time and dedication into building something. If any 5th grader can do it, then everyone needs to step up to the plate because the truth is not many people have the motivation or creativity to carry out a large project. Sure not everything in the city of mine is a skyscraper, I also have a slum region in which I have tightly packed homes and microapartments, as well as some industries.
You went overboard saying every 5th grader can do it. Every 5th grader can make a small home, just as easily. Some people make some truly amazing mansions that surpass most and are definitley more than an average 5th grader could make.

And that's true, but these kids are what? 14-16 years old some even younger. That seem to use the word so loosely, they literally have no understand of the word.
I have to admit when I was that young I found many things "epic" only because I grew up in a poor house. Getting my first GB Color was an epic moment to me. But now that I look back on those times I notice that things weren't so great and have redefined my meaning for the word it self. Basically were I'm getting at, is that people have different meanings for the word, and not everyone will be able to meet your expectations.
So just chill, and let them do what they do. Who cares if they dupe or create such dull creations. It's only on the person who finds it annoying.
But I do understand your feelings, seeing as how I hate when people do mediocre work and get praised while others do back straining work and get little to no acknowledgement.

I'm sure they can. But can they do it legitly? What's the purpose of having something Epic and not functional in survival mode anyways? Yes... we are waiting for creative mode. Then we can all build our cities, mansions, theme parks, whatever. I once too went around building epic stuff... and in the end it felt empty to me... like a waste. So now I think smaller... yet more complex. What can I do in this small area to the best of my ability without simply building straighint up in square pillars?
I wouldnt mind epic buildings if we hadnt seem them all before. There seems very little creativity in them. They usually come one tone colour, no shadows or shading in the structures. It you are going to dupe then aleast be creative with it other wise whats the point. I wopuld also love to see more town plans, smaller building with centres and rivers and bridges where are those shots?
