It is very easy for great builds to get lost in the fast pace of the forums. I don't much care for that, so I am going to curate this thread by collecting the builds that I think demonstrate great creativity, vision, and push the boundaries of what a sandbox of blocks can do. (Thanks to Janaus for the grouping scheme suggested here)
I hope you will take the time to show appreciation for the builders by commenting in their build threads or PMing them.
If you have suggestions for builds that should be included, reply to this thread or PM me!

Cool! Thanks a lot for featuring my project:)
-Although it is not done at all!
If you actually manage to update this thread regularly i might just come back here quite often to look for inspiration and ideas:P
You are most welcome. I look forward to its completion!

Sweet idea! Gives me a goal to set for myself to get my work in this thread.
I'm happy to be a motivator! PM me when you have a build to share.

A brave effort, but sadly this thread probably won't survive the onslaught of cobblemonsters and herobrine sightings any better than the threads of the individual buildings.
A valid point. I link to this thread from my signature, so hopefully even if the thread gets buried, people will see the link somewhat often.

That Desert city is awesome. Have you had a good trawl through this forum for great builds, like more than 10 pages back etc? There's been quite a few.
I have been a few pages back, but not quite 10. I'll certainly need to plumb the depths so to speak.
Anyone with suggestions, please don't hesitate to PM me.

Thanks for starting this thread. I have to agree with you; most of the great builds that were once gaining a lot of attention in the forum are now gone. I know it's a lot of work to collect all those builds, but I think your efforts are starting to pay off. This is also a great thread for other artists to feature their creative and artistic renderings. Looking forward to see this thread progressing.
All of these look awesome, but the glass bugs me now, this mod viewtopic.php?f=25&t=38885 gets rid of the edges of the glass unless its on the actual edge of a whole sheet of glass, if my explanation makes no sense just look at the link. I think it would make the modern house that looks so great with all that glass look especially better. I look forward to more of these. they're awesome.
I just completed a review of pages 6-33 of the Screenshots sub-forum. The OP has been edited to include some great builds. Since the Screenshots forum only retains posts for what looks like 2-ish months (based on posting volume) we cannot know what builds were lost to database pruning.

Very very cool idea indeed and I hope it lives on. I vote for the sticky idea. Everyone works so hard on their creations I'm very happy to see more threads showcasing such amazing works. =D
And thank you so much for including me in the list, though I feel it doesnt deserve it among such fantastic creations. I had even thought the cathedral thread was buried forever. lol. It must have been quite a task to go through them and I hope even more epic builds may be found like those being linked in the responses. I also agree in that is a service to the community.
(P.S. I have a much larger cathedral under construction that is almost to completion within another week maybe. If this thread continues to thrive, as I hope it does, I would love to see it added or to replace my current contribution. =D)
Thanks again for selecting me to add to this list I very deeply appreciate it.

Yeh he has forgotten ALOT, i sent him about 10 really great ones but looks like he just ignored it, i posted a handful in this thread aswell also ignored, and no offense to the soungsnsilence guy but his castle isn't really a "great build" i mean the only thing that separates it from the 5000 other ones is the patch of dirt its on isn't connect to the ground which isn't anything special
so far i think he is doing a good job, and there is a huge amount of difference between the list winterz put up compared to what is featured already. i think the original poster isn't just looking for things that are epic in size, but are extremely aesthetically pleasing. a lot of stuff you see in this forum are amazing, but very few are considered works of art.
This is a real public service. Don't forget the Angkor Wat!
Thanks for the compliment, and the suggestion.

Not to be a tattletale, but that Temple of Athena is pretty much an exact copy of this.
I appreciate the link. I think I shall include both, since both builders did great work.
Quote from awopcxet »
that's cool but i think you forgot many
I most likely have. I'm eager to receive suggestions if you have any favorites you think I have missed or not yet seen.

The only PM I received from you was a request for me to post your atlantis build (the one you link to in your sig.). I have not yet decided if I shall include it or not. I appreciate your other suggestions. I have reviewed them, and intend to include some of them in the archive. I really appreciate the link to Savi's castle. I remember seeing this thread previously, and when I was looking through the oldest Screenshot forum posts, could not find it.
If you did send me "10 really greed ones" via PM I either did not receive the PM, or deleted it by mistake. If you have suggestions in addition to those which you posted above in the thread, I'd like to see them. I've not been reading the forums frequently for more than a few months, so I imagine there are old builds that I've just not come across.
I'm sorry if you feel I was ignoring you. I was visiting my mother today, who is ill, and went to an evening lecture, so I have only just returned home. If you do send additional PM's, please allow a few days delay before a reply, as my work (and family) keep me quite busy.
As for soundsnsilence's build, while I grant the castle and floating isle is not a standout build viewed from afar, the details of the build, as seen better inside the build thread, are impressive. Arrowslit windows with fencing, a working gallows that drops the player down off the isle; it's the details of this build that earn its place.

Wow, I'm very honored!!; And thank you for compiling all of these!! I'll try to actually name it and then maybe actually try and finish it, then post night pics, but that'll probably take another 6 months since I'm so busy with my Dip in Arch course...
I hope you will take the time to show appreciation for the builders by commenting in their build threads or PMing them.
