Building is one of the core mechanics of Minecraft. Whether it is a small shack for emergency shelter or an extensive and detailed structure like a castle, buildings are used everywhere.

Statues are uncommon, yet impressively built in Minecraft. They can be a personification of the creator or signify something meaningful to them. Statues can also serve as add-ons to larger builds like castles. This article lists some of the best build ideas for statues in Minecraft.

This is a fairly simple statue build. Villagers in grassy and forest biome villages are dressed in brown, which resembles the color of wooden planks and logs. These common resources can be used to build this statue, along with blocks like wool and sandstone. It's apt to build a statue like this near a village, overlooking its residents.


4) Poseidon

This statue is based on Poseidon, the Greek God of the seas. It can be made using prismarine and other blue or aqua-colored blocks to match the water/sea theme. The build also contains a trident, like Poseidon’s own trident. Tridents are also a major weapon in Minecraft, so the build fits the theme of the game itself. Additionally, sea lanterns can be used in the build to beautify and brighten it.


3) Diamond Pickaxe

This fairly simple build involves constructing a diamond pickaxe, as pictured in vanilla Minecraft. The handle can use different types of wooden planks and the pick can use blue wool or concrete to make it look smooth and realistic. Similar builds can be done for other tools and weapons like swords and axes in the game.


2) Horse Arches
