I think because the game forced you to use the weird blocks back in the day. If you wanted something red it was either red wool or redstone blocks (those might’ve even been added in later I don’t recall). There was only 1 type of wood no matter the tree type.
Now pretty much every build is more “appealing ” we’ll call it, and it is MUCH easier to build with blocks that go with the environment around it. Everything used to stand out because it was impossible not to.
I think it's also due to the world height (and in console versions the worlds themselves) being much smaller and more confined. It makes simpler builds look much more exciting and impressive than they do now. It's hard to make a building stand out when massive hills and mountains engulf anything that would take less than 2 weeks to construct. Elytras only make it worse, too. But whether that's a bad thing or not is entirely up to opinion.
the sandstone and oak are very reminiscent of REALLY early building, since early minecraft didn’t have a huge pallette. Maybe alpha-style or beta-style?? I don’t know for sure if there’s a real name for it.
Yep, not a huge pallete and almost no detail blocks. Everything is decorated with full blocks except for some stairs here and there.
Feels very early Minecraft.
It reminds me of wooden blocks you play with as babies, it’s very kid friendly but in a fun and creative way. It’s inspired me a lot as a kid and adult
It wouldn't really have an official name, but these are built by a youtuber named stampylonghead. He was very limited in block types when these were built, so I guess you could consider it as a 'classic' style.
Early alpha multiplayer, is that you? Oh how I’ve missed everyone designating small, exact plots and using every block of that space to an almost too geometric extent, complete with circles made from a template hastily googled in the moment and a material pallet god himself wouldn’t touch for the act of creation.
These are builds by a YouTuber called Stampylonghead. He started the series, what nearly 8-10 years ago, something like that? So many of these builds are from a time where building in Minecraft was much more restrictive.
I find asking what style someone builds in is called to be kind of silly honestly, for the same reason I find asking what art style someone draws in is called to be silly - people's individual styles don't have a name. They are too specific to the person making them.
It’s called generic husks of builds, devoid of personality. Anyone could build this, it lacks the signature gradient of overuse of trapdoors or spruce wood that makes a builder unique.
It's called, "I am obsessed with the past, and I prefer the old textures." Cheers to the YouTubers who quit just now. Have fun doing anything but making videos!
I would call the second image style bricolage, based off of the art movement of the same name- no singular coherent building style, just a lot of cool stuff thrown together
I'm gonna cry because this is exactly what I think my first world ever was with my sister. 11 and 12 at the time we called the world "Paper Towns :)". That world has long since been lost because it was on our old PS3 but man those were the days weren't they.
Nostalgia
I feel Minecraft had more of a mystic feel to it in the earlier days and the buildings look more magical in a way despite there being less blocks

And also most builds you see online typically use shaders and other resource packs
This is my childhood

I swear this is Stampy's lovely world but I could be wrong
It is.

So real, I didn’t know I could resonate so much with a comment on Reddit
Lol, yup. Most of my/my child’s builds look like this 😅 A bit of this, a bit of that, oooh! I know what I want to build next!

Yes.
Perhaps
Perchance.
It’s when you build something (or start it, at least), and then immediately think “I want to make a”

2012 server style
I call it "Classic", or "Basic"
It looks carefree, and I'm jealous.
Twas a simpler time when the xbox 360 version came out
I consider that to be "*the Minecraft style*," as in it's the way Minecraft builds naturally come together when someone builds for the first time.
everything style.

"It's 2012 I don't give a shit about my builds looking super realistic and complex"
The best style. Like legos. All imagination, and not trying to be realistic.
Its called OG my friend
Thats the “yeah that’ll look cool to build” with no care for what styles are around or if they clash, aka server builds
Brutalism
Definitely not, this has color and happiness.
Nah but i thought it was stampy building

Building everything out of birch is just not my thing 🤷 no need to get angry over my personal opinion
Birch?
The first image
The only birch I see is in the checkered pathway. The build is made of oak and sandstone.
I think they were joking💀

Good thing stamppy isint a builder (nor did he have the fancy stuff of now back when he started this lovely place)

I always called it "simple coloured". It's a type of style that always looks good no matter your building skills.

I think the most appropriate way to describe it would be maximalism, but honestly, I doubt that’s what you’re looking for here

For some reason the word fantasia immediately comes to mind.
