Some players have made some truly incredible castles in their worlds, and they are truly awe-inspiring.

The top five most tricky castle builds in Minecraft

For players looking for an island getaway that's also a castle, the Seafort is for them. Players will need to locate or build a small patch of land in the middle of the body of water to make use of every inch of space on the small islands.

Players can then build up their castle as they see fit. Linking the castle to the main landmass is optional for players who prefer an isolated lifestyle.

4) Japanese Castle

This Japanese-style castle is a jaw-dropping testament to how players can take real life and build it inside Minecraft for players seeking a Japanese-inspired build.

Players will need many materials such as smooth sandstone, dark prismarine, and other dark-colored blocks. While this may be difficult for players to create in survival mode, this can be an incredible build if a player is up to the challenge.

3) Fortified Castle

The Fortified Castle is probably one of the safest places a player could be in Minecraft. Not only is it high up on the mountain, but it has many walls of defense that would keep players safe from any hostile mobs or players.

However, this build is highly challenging due to building the structure directly into the mountain and shaping it to appear extremely realistic.

2) Steampunk Castle

Players should attempt this build with caution, as it cannot be created lightly, but the result is well worth the effort.
