Ever since the official release of Minecraft and the loss of save data of my Himeji Castle, I have been working on Matsumoto Castle (松本城). The entire thing has been built in survival mode, with every block mined by myself personally. The architecture I ended up using is a hybrid from the modern castle, to references from Shogun 2 (such as defensive structures), and minecraft functionality. The first floor the castle is a dedicated workshop where I fashion and smelt every possible tool, block and material, and pretty much looks nothing like the actual castle interior. That and the "Inari Temple" and farm was never part of the original compound, it's just something I whipped up because it looked nice, and would have a place to put a beacon on if I had ever encountered a wither skeleton, which I have not. The rest of the floor more closely match the actual castle, include the hidden third floor.
