Messy Medieval
A Minecraft creative server & build philosophy.
For the fans of history and realistic fantasy.
Structural integrity - Meaningful detail - Personal aesthetics
Messy Medieval is a building philosophy that focuses, mainly, on Minecraft vanilla - without the use of texturepacks or shaders.
Messy Medieval started as a grassroots movement in 2011 focused around constructing highly immersive environments. Messy Medieval at the time focused on assymetry, but also nature, within a Medieval setting.
In 2013 the Messy Medieval server was born. This lead to the rapid development of Messy Medieval and soon other styles outside the Medieval setting were explored. Elven, Baroque, Gothic and Dwarven are just some of the few fantasy and historical styles explored so far.
Messy Medieval is guided by three principles, and the one rule of Messy Medieval.
Consider structural integrity. Implement realism in a build’s structure and apply realistic scale (1 block equals 1m³).

Implement meaningful detail, sensibly build according to the context of a wider world, let it tell a story.
Apply aesthetic detail. Carefully consider depth, size and your choice of colour.
Do not use visual mods or resource packs. Messy Medieval builds should be viewable to everyone equally.
