BONUS LORE: Use this to help with your lore suggestions! Make sure to write your OWN comment below. (Not as a reply on this comment). It makes it easier for me to find later. The Cloudrunner District is the other half of Brassholt. It is the main residence of the Cloudrunners, who are the sailors that operate steampunk airships. They are mainly tasked with transporting goods and protecting the Bank’s interests. Every part of Brassholt is wealthy, but this District varies from the occupants of the Banking Guild. The Bank is inherited, aristocratic wealth, while Cloudrunner fortunes are all earned from scratch. As a result, these sailors are rugged, savvy and hardworking. Hope this helps give you a better idea of the area! I look forward to reading your comments!

for someone who spends as much time as he does building its pretty insane how good his editing and story telling are as well

You never fail to disappoint and this time you really went above and beyond with the editing, storytelling, and build! Good job Shovel!!!💪😎🎉

This as a whole is on a different level. The animations so smooth, the builds so complex, the editing and pacing so good. Its a pleasure to watch!

Dude I can’t even comprehend how much work you’re doing. This is insane. I watched the whole video. I’m shocked by your skill and wit for building these insane builds. Keep it up man

Lore idea: New recruits are often tested by being ordered to move through the secret labyrinth connecting the main area with the hub of Coins & Cloaks, consisting of any unfinished rooms and underground. May be a nice alternative to the dungeon and add an interesting backstory.

this is profoundly ridiculous how good it is

Imagine if he got a sponsor from a certain company and he decides to build the entire map of that one specific game...

Literally just discovered this guy and this is easily one of the best videos I've ever seen: managing to keep the video entertaining while explaining the design, the lore and the future ideas is unbelievable and that was possible thanks to an astonishing editing, the only reason I can't completely express my respect for you is because English isn't my first language

As another (very) amateur writer, I absolutely adore this series. Being able to visualize the settings to the stories I write… it’s a dream of mine. Seeing these set-pieces from your story makes me very interested in reading it.

I love when Shovel uploads because of the awesomeness in his storytelling as well as INSANE builds

The editing is phenomenal and so dynamic! Not even mentioning the breathtaking build and intriguing lore.

I can't even begin to explain how impressive that is. Also, with all the editing and everything, that's so crazy how people manage to use a game about blocks as a tool to create literal masterpieces.

Storytelling + editing + building makes this probably one of my favorite videos on UKposts. I have been watching this series from the start and each video still manages to amaze me. This clearly takes so much talent and is so cool. I hope one day your book will be available to read!

Lore idea- when the city was in construction the mechs shown in the armoury were used for building the city which had an extra reason, since the guild basically run this city other factions tried to attack before it was built so the mechs could easily engage in combat since they were already all out and activated

Everything about this video was crazy good. Not only the build and the dedication but also the storytelling, the jokes and especially the editing. It all came together so well and I really hope more people could see this masterpiece.

Shovel, as an author (in learning but yea) myself, I have mad respect for you. I wanted to try and build my fantasy world in minecraft too a few years back but I realise that it is impossible for my world because it has multiple universes, realms, dimensions etc. Plus, im not a builder, Im a writer. The fact that you can build such a masterpiece with such lore is amazing! Im sure your story would have been great and I wished there was a way for me to read it but this is great too! I love the builds and the amount of work you put into it. I also admire how much thought you put into the lore. I find it interesting on how you use real world cultures for your world. Mad respect man. I love how you open the table for your fans to pitch their own ideas as well, I will certainly try and do that for my own channel. Keep up the great work, mate! Little note: Please do take care of yourself! Your personal health is important too. Eat healthy, sleep well and make sure to get some fresh air!

im just a uni student, and i dont even play minecraft. but DAMN, i didnt know a block game could be THIS magical just from imagination alone. that's actually crazy!! Your backstory brings life to the builds, youre the most creative person ever!

You truly deserve MUCH more recognition and an audience on UKposts. Your projects are some of the most beautiful I've ever seen in Minecraft.

By far your best work in my opinion by far, absolutely amazing build and even better editing. Going to take lots of inspo from this build style for when I get my survival world started up when I start streaming loving the steampunk with blue glass theme looks amazing.

IM TOO EXCITED FOR THIS…

Lore Idea: Having the other side of the city being a poor/poverish slum (in comparison to the other side), might create a cool dystopian type city with interesting political and physical interactions between both sides! You could even add a story of a bank heist where some people from the slums try to steal the great treasure from the massive vault in the bank

Hello! I just found this channel and saw some of your build and they are absolutely incredible! I am so sad I did not find it sooner. You are an inspiration to anyone who wants to make minecraft their job, and also to those who just have a creative mind but are scared to take that leap(like myself). You're doing great and I can't wait to see more of you amazing builds in the future!

I love building this team is so incredible that it makes my inspiration go wild but when i realised how long it takes to just build 2 unique houses insane how much skill and effort goes into these

"I have to get a real job" "NOOOOOOOO" Had me rofl🤣🤣🤣

I really feel like a wealthy city like this should have some underground slums with people that did not manage to keep up and that are leeching off of the rich people above (Yes, I also like Arcane). This could be combined with a sewer system and some underground caves. Maybe the magical runes in the mountains reach in here as well and can be used to power some contraptions that the underpeople built. The assassins of the Order of Coin and Cloak would have some bearing on what is going on down there, but I like the idea of a new society forming that aims to undermine the power that order has over the city. They would have spies in the city that constantly try to find out what the plans of the Order are, and if they can interfere in any way. It doesn't seem like this is likely to work tho :). Awesome video!

Just this city alone would be one of the coolest server hubs for a Minecraft rpg server. Amazing work!

The editing, story, builds and eveything was amazing, you deserve way more subs

I was literally only 3 minutes in and bro was just pulling out the most impressive building I’ve ever seen in my life

Shovel, your videos are so fricking inspiring. I‘m writing a book, and cause of your fantastic and giantic builds, i can feel the fantasy flow through my body way better. Just thanks for that damn good videos

I have no more words for you bro... Enough creations that's jawdropping for me and made me speechless looking at it. You're outta this world fr 💯

I absolutely adore these videos you're making!! I've been following the series so far and I honestly can't wait to see what the Cloudrunner District looks!!!!! I also have a suggestion for the next build you do afterwards; I genuinely LOVED the lore behind the Fleafolk and how you built the Dirt Clan, so I was wondering if you could build one of the other Clans. It doesn't have to be a specific one, any of them will do!!! I JUST LOVED THE FLEAFOLK LORE!!!!! YOU DO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

Your thumbnail is badass. The video is hilarious and fun. The artistry inspires. Nice one shovel!

Absolutely amazing as always Shovel! Was a privilege to help ❤

Every time I try to build ANYTHING in Minecraft, I always have to constantly remind myself to hold off on detailing until I finish shaping.

i absolutely love the small details in all of the stories. i think i just found my favorite minecraft channel

Imagine if a bunch of developers came together to start making a new mmorpg game with the maps you create. Honestly would be amazing especially with the lore "pre-made" by you.

LORE: The assassins are very good at their job, so good that there is a group of powerful assassins that don't have any identity, they are only known in legend. when someone is added to this group, they are wiped from history along with those who knew them. these people are usually innately talented with Shadow Magic (I have half a page of writing about shadow magic if you want it)

You make Minecraft look so easy and fun! Your enthusiasm is contagious.

I absutely love your videos! As a soon to be processional artist, I want to learn to build in Minecraft better! Your videos are an inspiration! I'm even considering going to creative mode, which I haven't been doing yet. Thank you! Keep going! Never back down!

Awe inspiring. So, so cool. As a survival player, these tools are just beyond. The literal only suggestion I have is a bit more time at the end to fly over/through to give us a real chance to appreciate the final product, instead of each piece being shown only as it is being built and decorated. Love the dedication, aesthetic and creativity

Why don’t you hire someone to code in an entire story to this map, or do it yourself? This map and cities really remind me of God of War, and a whole story mode in this map would be so fire. You can also get UKpostsrs to play it and promote it as well! Just something to think about

For the Cloudrunner district there should be another secret organization that works in opposition to the Order of Coin and Cloak so both sides of the city are in a Cold Civil War. It could add a lot of intrigue to the city, and also works because the Cloudrunners earn their fortune while the Banking Guild inherits it. This would provide plenty of area for ideological differences between the two halves of the city even if they work symbiotically.

New to your channel and I can’t believe I only discovered it now your content , builds , creativity, and lore behind your world is amazing 😭❤️❤️ definitely subscribing and going to binge all your other videos.

His story telling + editing skills are immaculate

Stunning! Every part, the build, the editing, the overall video ! Excellent!

Outstanding building! New Sub right here. I've been on-and-off working on an Airship in survival that would fit right in with a build like this. I don't think it would be completely dwarfed either as it's 325 blocks long. It is very much a work in progress but I had ideas to build all sorts of things into the large Airship. It's got a bridge, a sky deck kinda thing on top of the balloon, three engine rooms, a workshop, a large cargo bay big enough to build survival farms in, crew quarters, guest cabins, signal flare launchers (fireworks) plus a whole bunch of other things. Watching your video is very much inspiring me to actually attempt to finish my own build.

Legit just found out about this channel then just straight up watched the whole series i love the story's behind all the builds it makes each video so interesting fav was definitely nanohiem looking forward for the other clans especially the turtle clan one (btw i for got to add its absolutely WILD that you edit these videos yourself because your not just absolutely good at building but also amazing at editing it just makes the whole video a thousand percent more entertaining )

Lore Idea: I think a cool addition could be a sky tavern with places to dock incoming ships, as a place to meet old friends, make new ones, and potentially create new trade opportunities

I am speechless. Never have I seen such precision in mega builds like these. I also immensely admire the implementation of lore in your videos. Shovel, your content is amazing, keep up the amazing work. You deserve way more! Recommendation : Since this is a partly steampunk-styled mega build, I think that blimps could be a wonderful detail to add in the world. (This also screams Piltover, and I'm a huge arcane fan xD)

absolutely fantastic! epic story telling the details given to the buildings is insane

is not just the building, is the art, the story telling, the friendships and all the project. that's amazing!

Got to appreciate the dedication of Achilles, to build while working in real life! Mad respect.

The sheer editing skill you have is MAD. Besides the build I'm really impressed. Love this! 😍

I remember you from last year! You are an insane good builder. Very beautiful artwork!

I'm so glad I clicked on the video. The quality of the content is insane, along with the effort and time put in. There are some very funny jokes added in, along with insanely well-done editing. Not to mention how good you are at building and designing. I am more than impressed

Just insane ! Like no other words can describe this level of creating in minecraft. 100% perfect❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

Lore idea for my favorite youtuber: For the airship area, maybe there could be an arsenal in the center of the airship docks that includes things such as innovative prototypes, training areas for elytra warriors, and maybe even an outer ring with a course for apprentice airship flyers that includes fun obstacles. I also think it would be interesting to include repurposed airships for the Cloudrunner district, seeing as they created a life from nothing. They could have repurposed blimp canvases for pavilions, a scrapyard, and even ground transportation made using the engines and gears of the blimps (maybe a metro or train system to fit with the steampunk idea). Keep up the good work, man!

This should really be turned into one of those Minecraft storys(I would so watch it!!), but tbh this deserves to be an actual tv show👏👏👏

im so shocked i havent found your content before! you're not only an awesome builder but you put so much effort and humor into your videos as well!!

I am super excited and just by looking at the thumbnail I can tell this is going to be another awesome build from you 😁

He should get some one to make a magic mod for him based on his videos, the book and the lore. So that when he eventually releases the mod he will be able to play with the actual magic.

that's really insane. All the design, ideas, builds and interiors are perfects !

I think you should really have lots of small village houses on little stilts by the river because it’s going through the two civilisations and if there is any tension or conflict between the two villages have the fishermen be a poorer race not wanting to be stuck between the two or manipulated by the cloaks and coins, love the videos it is absolutely amazing!

Shovel241 NEVER disappoints! This is absolutely incredible!

You have better builds, storytelling, and editing ability, then most minecraft UKposts. You are doing great! BTW, have you considered joining Hermitcraft next season?

its crazy that you have less than 300k with this much effort put into your videos, the edits, the detailing, the cleaning up of the world edit mess. absolutely crazy!! keep it up

What kind of insane man have I just stumbled upon I'm sitting there utterly amazed at your builds man

You could make a city out of a giant sword sticking out of the ground.

Shovel never fails to amaze me let's see how amazed we will be after this vid.

The most fun Minecraft video i have ever watched till date.Hatts off to you man for all the hardwork you put into your video, just discovered your channel and iam impressed 👍🏻.

It’s so detailed it doesn’t even look like Minecraft, it looks like a fantasy painting

People like shovel create the most epic and amazing things that it seems so effortlessly

shovel never fails to fill me with his builds

A cool twist I think should get added is bits and pieces of your original story dotted around the map in the different locations and collecting all of the book and quills will give you the entire story of the island

"I don't understand art" Your making art, keep up the great work! I can't wait to play this map. When you finish building and making the map you should host a event! I always look forward to your vids!

Your editing is overkill bro:v

What is the book?

3 things Shovel is good at: 1. Minecraft 2. Making and telling stories and lore 3. Making me regret my life and how I'm good at neither of those things

WHAT!?!!! Dude, this is my first vid of yours I've seen. Its awsome! And like how do you not have morr subscribers?!?! Telling all my friends about you.

This video alone deserves a subscribe. The builds and the lore of them is immaculate and beutiful. I have a story I'm writing and this has Givin me so much inspiration. Keep up the amazing work!

I just love watching you build and you are soo good at it. Keep going!

The built and edits effort u PUT IN was insane!! 🔥🔥

12:29 is where I went, "dude, come ON." This whole video was just so damn enjoyable. Genuinely, this may have been one of the best, if not the best, minecraft video I've ever watched. You went absolutely nuts with not only the building, but the video editing and storytelling. You're one hell of an artist, man.

I've been waiting since this series started for the book to come on (and I will keep waiting for who knows how long until it does) Keep up the good work!

my guy you are killing me. the little chime at the end of those rapid tick countdowns is the first note of my phone's ringtone, i have a pavlovian response to it and it stressing me out, pls stop XD

Currently, you are my greatest inspiration for gaming in general. When I first saw your videos, I really wanted to do the same things you did, so I downloaded world edit and made my first world edit build on a crappy laptop. Then, I bought a pc for that sole purpose, but curseforge wouldn’t work. I tried and tried but I couldn’t fix it. So I played Valorant for 5 months. Then, I saw this video pop up on notifications and thought, you know what, lets watch shovel again. And this fuelled up my inspiration again. So now, I have started writing my own world, like you have, and have made it my mission to build stuff that I can actually be proud of. So thank you so much for granting me this much joy in this childish blocky game I have played for so long. Thank you Shovel. ❤

Shovel I saw this video and it relit the fire in me to write my story that I’ve had in my head for years. Thank you.

This was the greatest build i ever saw along with the build u nailed in editing and voiceover , coooooooooooool

3:56 i like how the letter that you use for alpha is omega with a dash in the middle quite litterally the opposite

Just found this video and your channel. New sub- awesome builds, but the sub is because I just love your storytelling and humour. Going to go binge watch some older videos now (ps I was looking for creating a real life build (from a photo) so whatever algorithm gave me this, thankyou!) ❤

You are by far my favorite UKpostsr now. This is absolutely amazing and very entertaining.

Your a legend at building,editing and story telling Your are criminally underated bro you deserve so much more

Dude ur really talented in making builds respect...and I love ur stories

Wow, this video is amazing. The builds are one thing, but holy editing. A sub well deserved.

Best editing style out there. So unique and good ❤

i LOVE this and im shocked by you and ur friends' talent. keep up the good work dude you are AMAZING

That circle montage was so sick! Here are my ideas: for the cloud district its gotta be a floating port that the ships dock on for the center piece right? what makes it float and what that looks like could be a fun thing to play around with I think. also maybe its circle as well!

This is a idea for the Fleafolk continuation if your still on it. Its for the Hive Nation. The Hivekin is a branch of the Fleafolk race, that lives in a beehive city, also known as Apiaria or The Hive Nation. Located in a large willow tree in the central part of the Alphalaum country. They live deep into the tree, to not be seen by larger beings. The Hive Nation is well-known for creating a hard and thick substance called Nectarium. Which can be almost impossible to break through, making it extremely good structures and buildings, as well as tools. There are 3 types of rank within the Hivekin people, known as, The Royal Nectarians, who are the ruling class, chosen for their wisdom and connection to the mystical energies of the hive. They oversee governance and maintain the balance between the hive and the surrounding natural elements. Honeyweavers, skilled artisans, and architects are responsible for crafting intricate structures from Nectarium and managing the overall aesthetic harmony of the hive city. The backbone of the hive city, they gather pollen from the surrounding mystical flora, tend to the hive's gardens, and ensure the sustenance of the entire community. The city is always bustling with activity day and night. The queen resides in the heart of Apiaria, called the Royal Comb, a royal chamber where the queen can watch the entire city below. - "Apiaria" is derived from "apiary," which is a place where bees are kept or a collection of beehives. It reflects the connection to bees and the idea of a city within a beehive-like environment. This is just an idea, feel free to use it if you want some time. ^^ (Also like add some like of flying wings like a elytra, for some scouts to go out and collect honey, like their honey scouts and sneak to take the honey without being scene, like a group of these fully-trained soldiers/scouts Hivekin people, go and scavenge for ingredients and resources or something like that.)

Naaaaah, you're my fav youtuber now. Just wth editing, builts and everything is fire!!! Ur just amazing bro
