Minecraft wiki entry for Adding_beauty_to_constructions, associated text: One of the most used architectural styles in Minecraft, comes from Europe and Britain in the period between 476 and 1500. (The "Medieval" period of European history is roughly the time between the fall of the Roman Empire, and the appearance of modern-style nations.) The used materials are usually wood and stone, but stained glass and roofs with varying colors (prismarine, amethyst, and colored concrete can work well) can add a more fantastic touch.
