Types of Minecraft Castles that you can build
There are numerous types of Minecraft castles that you can build when you want to move to something grander than your simple Minecraft house.
You can build any type of castle in Minecraft, from a small mini-castle to large Victorian manors, medieval castles, and even Vampire-styled castles if you are creative enough. The goal is to look for something that goes beyond the ordinary in terms of design, functionality, and looks.
The castle should also serve the core functions of such a structure, such as keeping away hordes of uninvited creepers who visit at night. You can even construct a castle right next to your Minecraft tower or blend two or more grand designs to create a large and impressive, impenetrable fortress.
To get you inspired, here are a few of the many types of Minecraft castles that you can start with:
