Alright before you even think about putting a comment telling me there are so many threads like this already, just shut up. Now for you kinder folk: Currently I am in the process of building my first castle. I may have set my ambitions too high, I made my building area over 70x70...on a platform above water. Im planning on making this huge and I would like to here what you all have to say, as many people are more creative than one.(In most cases) Currently I have the walls surrounding the structure, and the throne room built. I have a dining hall in progress.
Well you gotta have your bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, study/library, garden, pasture, mob grinder, gatehouses, storage room(s) and all your halls should be decorated with lamps, chandeliers and paintings.

By pasture do you mean a lit up area of grass where mobs spawn at night

I can't shut up about something i don't even know about because i can't think of it.
OT:
You should have a dungeon (Useful for Multiplayer)
A small farm (Crops, not necessarily animals.)
A Bakery (Corresponds with the farm)
A Treasure Room (A little fun for the invaiders, right?)
A Grand Library (Just for show) (Also, maybe a hidden doorway to the treasure room mentioned above.)
A blacksmith/smithing room (Obvious reasons.)
Moat (Castle is already over water, maybe another most built on TOP of the platform.)
Portcullis (Front gate)
A Self Destruction Button (A button for emergencies) (Not really recommended)
Royal Bedroom (In case steve get's lucky- add 2 beds. :3)
Royal Throne Room (Already built, yes?)
Dining Hall (Built this too, right?)

Hope you APPROVE.
Nice. I already have two large farms, and thanks to one of the server admins wanting to try something with rail, I have quick transportation to and from the castle from the farms. Most of my efficient structures are in a nearby complex I started out in. Currently Im thinking of mostly aesthetic features, but functional suggestions would be appreciated also
A Self Destruction Button (A button for emergencies) (Not really recommended)
To expand on this, have it tied into an escape minecart system. Hop in, hit the button, and escape as your base is being destroyed and killing the invaders. Plan on eventually doing that in mine for fun.
You should have an automatic cart system that brings the food to the dining hall table at the press of a button. I would look the video up, but I'm recording something right now and Youtube pulls enough power to make the recording skip.

Eh Id rather not destroy what Ive been working on. Most of my other build have been mostly functional, I want this to be rather impressive. But if I could spawn materials, and the server would be backed up I might try that

That would be awesome, I am not good with the technical aspect of MC such as advanced redstone or cart systems, but there are several people on my server who are, I might ask for their help and incorporate that into a future kitchen
a storage room, HURRR DURRR BORING RITE? mine was epic on my server, nice red carpet, TONS OF CHESTS, fireplace
you gotta have an underwater dungeon too, intetionally leave it dark so you can go down there to fight monsters, i had mine set up pro with a buncha 'shrooms, but make sure you make the walls thick so water won't rush in, unless you want that to happen lol.
In my castle too (on a spawned world) i EXTREMELY CAREFULLY built a huge room made of bedrock, then lined the inside with netherrack and put a ghast spawner in there,

I believe Whiteknight knows something that us others don't know; and that would be the ability to smooth talk stone into mining itself for him.

(I should probably post some pics)

a castle! *fanfare*
Yes, I'm suggesting you build a castle inside your castle.
You just posted that so you could get your 64th post didnt you?
Lever locks are so easy to crack :tongue.gif:
Screw those jukeboxes, make your own tunes hidden in the ceiling or something :biggrin.gif:
I built a garden on the roof of my castle, complete with pond, trees and benches.
