With the main layout and walls of the keep setup it’s time to move on to the upper level with the Castellan’s Chambers. The module describes it as “10′ above the main roof and has battlements”. After building that out I realized the description for the two side areas is Central Towers, and those rise above the main fortress 20′ with a 5′ battlement. So back to the scaffolding and raised both the side areas up. That was a lucky catch because it broke up the roof line and gave additional areas to detail as well. The walls are the white terracotta, with a texture I modified to give it more of a medieval plaster look rather than the vanilla Minecraft pinkish texture.

With the Castellan’s chambers setup I extended the rear towers up a few extra blocks to keep them at a higher elevation. There will be a catapult on each of these towers, just haven’t figured out the best way to build those in Minecraft yet.
