On friday i made a post asking about the most efficient way to mine stone blocks. most of the answers i got were about different mods. in the end this was done purely in vanilla. the build isn't quite complete yet (the inside isn't furnished) but i managed to build this in my survival world after around 15 ish hours of mining cutting down trees and building.

Reminds me of this one Norman castle design I saw on this Minecraft Youtube channel– awesome coloration.

Isn't this from a minecraft build tutorial

Definitely reminds me of the Alaskan Cosmic castle tutorials, but I love those designs, so no complaints here.
