Minecraft Creations #2(Exterior): Spirits' Bathhouse | Building the Bathhouse from Spirited Away

[jason04]

What's up my dudes! Another day, another time for blogging. This is your boy @jason04 saying "Spread Positivity! And keep the Vibes up". So now, I am gonna be showing my second minecraft creations.

But before that, if you have not seen my previous minecraft creation, please do check it out. Minecraft Creations #1(Final Reveal): Oh McDonald's | Building McDonald's in Minecraft

So yes, my second minecraft creation is the Bathhouse from the movie, Spirited Away. I really am a fan of Studio Ghibli films and you better check out their films. You would surely love it. I am supposed to make a post about this , this coming Saturday but luckily, the internet provider here in our place has maintenance, so no online classes will be held temporarily. At first, we were really mad about the internet having maintenance and it's expected that it will slow down. But when we hear that there won't synchronous classes and we will just be given activities, our group chat was filled with "yes sir", "wohoo", "rest time" and many more. We were glad about that because our midterm exam just ended and we just want to relax. So, now, I decided to play Mobile Legends and when the evening came, started making a post about this creation.

To tell you a bit of the story, there was this boy named Chihiro. Chihiro were riding along with her parents through the countryside and his father, who is the one driving the car, made a wrong turn and ventured through a tunnel. They went through that tunnel and as they walk along, they see this abandoned amusement park. As they continue on walking, they see this restaurant with a lot of foods. Her parents decided to eat and pay later. Chihiro does not want to eat so she decided to roam around and enjoy the park. She happened to end up in this bathhouse and met a boy named Haku. Haku told that Chihiro's parents are in danger. As Chihiro went back to her parents, she found out that they have turned into pigs. As she is about to go back to where they have entered, the place is already surrounded with water. The owner of that bathhouse is Yubaba, an evil witch. She keeps all intruders as her servants including Chihiro and serve for those strange spirits. Haku offered to help Chihiro and Chihiro trusted Haku in order to save her and her parents as well.

By the way, welcome to Minecraft Creations by your dude @jason04!

I choose to make this because as I have mentioned, I like Studio Ghibli films including this one. I really loved this "Spirited Away" movie. This was released long ago but I had watched it two years ago I guess and watched it again this year.

And for this creation, I decided to only stop in the exteriors and I won't proceed in making the interiors of the bathhouse. It is because I can not somehow improvised to make a rice paper wooded doors and I searched for several tutorials in youtube on how I can make it through Minecraft Pocket Edition. I have not found anything. But if you ever know a way on how I can make it, or an idea on what blocks or items that I can improvise that could somehow represent it.

So much for my introduction. Let's proceed to my minecraft creations #2. ENJOY!

Actually, this was the most tedious minecraft creation. Not most, since this was just the second creation , lol. This was more tedious than the other creation that I made. There is a lot of details that I attached to that exteriors of the bathhouse. I started making this last Wednesday, continued it on Thursday and finished everything this day. I had spent a lot of time on this and I was thinking to not finish this creation but I have build a lot and I do not want my efforts to be wasted. At first, I just enjoyed making this one but as I went on and on, I really get tired. But yes, I have to go on and finish the exteriors of it.

Here I present to you some snippets on how the construction process went on. I have been through some rains and sunlight but I go on building this one,haha. I was intimated when building this on the dark so I turned on the always day button. That's why the pictures somewhere in between are all on daylight.

_{Front View}

_{Left-Side View}

_{Right-Side View}

_{Rear View}

All the following pictures are presented at a night scene it is because in the movie, everything happened at night except for the first part and the ending part.

_Bridge

In the bridge, you could already see the beauty of the bathhouse. On the sides, there are lanterns to provide light on the passers or the strange spirits at night.

This is where Chihiro first encountered Haku. As I told earlier, Chihiro roam around the place and ended up in this bridge where he met Haku. Also, when the night had came, in order for Chihiro not to be seen by the spirits, Haku told Chihiro to hold her breath while walking in the bridge. This is also where Chihiro had encountered this strange black spirit.

_{Boiler Room}

Here is the passage way to the boiler room. This is located below the ground that can be accessed through the side stairs attached to the outer part of the bathhouse.

In the movie, Haku advised Chihiro to ask for a work from the bathhouse boiler man named Kamaji. This is because when a human does not work there, it turns or becomes an animal. At first, Kamaji is unwilling to give a job to Chihiro. But after some time, he helped Chihiro to work at the Bathhouse.

_{Entrance /Ground Floor (地 ji or ground)}

The bathhouse contains multiple floors. So for the very first floor of the house it is incorporated with a "地" symbol which means "ground" and for the floors above ground level are numbered in a special manner that uses the symbol "天" which means "heaven".'

Basically, this entrance or the "ground" is where the strange spirits have their way into the bathhouse. You could see here some beautiful banners and this standing lamp to beautify the bathhouse's entrance.

_{Second Floor (二天 niten or second heaven)}

The next floor is for those traditional Japanese tatami-matted dining rooms for customers. The hallway contains several rooms separated by rice paper wooden doors. It was shown during Chihiro's elevator ride with the Radish Spirit. They also seem quite popular with customers, as seen when all rooms are occupied Chihiro arrives on the level.

And this is the reason why I did not continue building on the interiors. I have searched on how I could make this rice paper wooden doors but I found out that it is not possible with a Minecraft Pocket Edition. It may be possible but using some codes to make Minecraft mods. Along the way, I am already thinking on how I could build the second floors but nothing comes to mind. I was about to delete the world where this bathhouse was built but I just wanted to show to this community on this thing that I have made. If ever you got an idea about it, please do comment down below. I would greatly appreciate that.

_{Top Floor (天 ten or heaven)}

The top floor contains two doors and the right has this talking door knocker. The left door is mysterious never opened but the right door is the office of the evil witch, Yubaba and Boh's room, her big baby. The floors contains multiple large wooded doors which made at least four other rooms.

In the movie, this is where Chihiro first met Yubaba. During their meetup, Yubaba did a lot of annoying things to Chihiro but still Chihiro continuously asks for a job making Yubaba provide Chihiro a job because it is in her vow to give a job for anyone who asks for it.

Here are some snippets on the actual movie: Spirited Away

Wtf dude, your creations are too insane. Apart from that, I love how you elaborate your posts. I barely saw the cover of the post and I already knew what movie it was from. For some reason that movie scared me a lot when I was a little kid hahahaha. Keep it up, your posts are gold.

I saw this 2 years ago, I think. The spirit in black body with the white face who somehow follows Chihiro was a bit creepy though. Actually, this was really tiring because it was big and there were this mini rooms attached on the exteriors so I have to add these tiny details. The windows and the roof was really tedious though. I am supposed to make the interiors but I got a problem in how to make this rice paper wooden doors so I decided not to go on with the interiors. Anyway, thanks for dropping by my dude.I appreciate that👌💯
