ChunkBuild 11: Minecraft Roman Insula | Ancient Rome theme 2 (Minecraft 1.12)
105Welcome to another episode of ChunkBuild, the series where we make small chunk sized but beautiful houses! In today's episode 11 we continue out Minecraft Ancient Rome theme, and show off a Minecraft Roman Insula!
In ancient Rome you likely would've lived in an Insula, a multi family home in several stories. The ground floor was reserved for minecraft small shops and community areas such as a kitchen. The first floor housed the rich. Because of the fire hazard in a massive ancient city such as Rome, the first floor was your safest bet. Above lived the middle class equivalent, and up in the attic finally lived the poor.
This build uses the minecraft 1.12 white concrete powder as a base, but introduces both quartz and diorite to break it up. The quartz is used for minecraft columns, and the diorite to symbolise deterioration. The build has jungle wood as the roof material, a best compromise given the lack of stairs and slab blocks in the game. Other wood uses spruce logs with variants to give that dark red feel.
This build is available to download as a structure block here:

To use this structure in your own world, download it and put it in the structures folder in your world save folder. Then give yourself a structure block (/give @p minecraft:structure_block), place it and set it to load, entering the file name as name.
Chunkbuild is a series where I will show three builds per theme, then go on to a new theme, ad infinitum. Each build fits in a Minecraft chunk, ergo Chunkbuild. The themes will vary tremendously, so if you don't like a style, just give it a week or so and then check back.
In these videos I show of the build, comment on the block palette; details of the builds and show you how to do elements that are hard to build or interesting. The theme this time is Western.
