These buildings are AMAZING!!!

You seriously doubt yourself?

No you suck.

These houses are awesome! I suggest you use the "bland" colors of block, like white wool and birch wood blocks. These are calm colors, hence giving a minimalistic "feel". I suggest too, the you use at least just three colors. Take the last house for example, too many colors distracted me from the house itself (I believe that what makes a house "modern" is it's shape) so emphasizing on shape and simplicity would pop that "modern feel" out! Even changing the texture pack would make a great impact on these builds!

Reminds me of Peter Eisenman (Architect).

They are pretty good. My favorite, of the three, would be the wool, my least favorite the wood. One thing I would like to say is, on the wood house, the stripe of stone bricks doesn't seem to tie in anywhere, and it seems out of place. The wool house has both horizontal and vertical stripes, which tie the house together, in a sense.

Ah. I see. Well, I know nothing of that, but I know, although they are good, there is always room for improvement.

I would personally use more variation and curves with it.

Also, another good youtuber (which you probably watch too) is VinatgeBeef, for modern builds.

They're some fairly nice places. I think you could've used variations in the wood for the wood house. The wool house was my favorite.

Good enough for who? They only have to be good enough for yourself.

But anyway, they look pretty good. Watching youtube videos (such as BdoubleO) get me into the building mood... although he doesn't build modern.

As far as I can remember UKF and AllTrapMusic are both promotional channels. In general they'll promote your musics with no fee. Don't try to confuse these with record labels, however; promoters don't sign you up, they just...well...promote you. Usually promotional channels allow you to send your tracks (note, full ' class='bbc'>unsigned tracks, not demos, as opposed to record labels) via e-mail, Google Docs forms, Soundcloud dropboxes or on their website; on the case above, AllTrapMusic lets you upload your track via their Facebook and UKF by e-mail. Here's a WIP list of promoters so far.
I couldn't explain this any simpler, but here goes:
There are 5 main windows you need to familiarize yourself on this DAW: Playlist, where you put all of your drums, synths, etc....in basics this is where you put your song arrangements; Browser, the window on the left where it's kind of self-explanatory; Piano Roll, a window with a layout of a piano keyboard, used to lay out your melodies or slices or whatever; Mixer, where you do all of your EQs, mixdowns and FXes; and lastly, Step Sequencer, the much more simpler version of Piano Roll, usually for drum rhythms. There are also 3 kinds of things in the Playlist: Audio clips, automations and patterns. Audio clips are pretty self-explanatory, to get them drag a sample from the Browser; automations are added by right-clicking on a knob or anything that you want to automate to and tweak up the settings (for example when building up a synth with a lowpass) via the dots; and patterns, the core of everything--synths (via Piano Roll), drums, pads, etc. I'm pretty sure other DAWs work the same like that.
There are a lot of 101 videos out there, and it's worth to check a few of them.
Start from zero, of course. I really hope that, by asking this, you have a basic understanding of how music works; note values, intervals, etc.
There are terms that you're going to meet while working on musics, like squarewave/saw, VSTis (like Sytrus, Harmor, etc.), ring/frequency modulation, additive/subtractive synths, mastering, stereo imaging, etc., but that comes another story.

An aesthetic update sounds unlikely as we just had the Pretty Scary update. A mob update is more likely.

Quote from Kholdstare

New blocks are probably trivial to add, yet these would improve the building aspect of the game quite a bit.
Edit: Yes, the building aspect is already superb, but really. TRIVIAL. Could probably be done in an hour or two.

Ocean dimension for it maybe?

Are you using malwarebytes? And do you have norton/mcafee? Because if you have either of those, that might be the problem.
