Below is how to craft a small Minecraft house using commonly found items. It's not too hard, and it looks nice, but be warned- it is only 5 by 5 blocks! If you like, you can expand it to 7 by 7. Just place the logs accordingly. Feel free to use whichever logs you like, but the wood should be the same type.
Steps
- Place 4 logs of any type in a 5 by 5 square.
- Place 3 planks, preferably the same kind of wood you used for the logs, in between each log. One side will have the door, so be sure to leave a space in the middle for it. If you have an eye for designing, you can use different logs and planks that look good together.Advertisement
- Place one log above each wood log that you have. Place a wooden plank next to each new log, leaving space for windows (if desired).
- Add a door and (optionally) some glass panes for windows.
- Place cobblestone on the top of your house. This should form a roof. You could also use wood logs and planks.
- Add cobblestone stairs to the edges of your roof.
- Add torches on the inside of your cottage. If there are no torches on the inside, hostile mobs will spawn inside your house.
- Decorate your cottage. To start off, put in a crafting table, a furnace, a few chests and a bed.
- Add cobblestone stairs all the way up your roof, forming a small pyramid. This step is optional, but it will make your house look nicer.
- Add flowers of your choice along the sides of your house. Since the new update, there are plenty of flowers to choose from. An alternating pattern will look the nicest.
- Add a rooftop garden! You need a flat roof, some dirt, ladders for getting up there (stairs are too cramped) water, fences and seeds. Lay out the fences along the edge of your roof, so you won't fall off.
- Create a secret underground tunnel! Make a deep (at least 3 blocks) hole underneath the floor, and add ladders so you can climb down. Then start a tunnel leading to a secret room! Maybe a pool, a doghouse, a cool bedroom- anything you want! Remember, since this is a secret tunnel, nobody but you should know where it is.
- Here's something you can do once you've built your house: Mine the logs, (logs are the wood straight from the tree with bark and all, planks are logs that you get by crafting. Place logs one block outwards from where they were in the beginning. You should now have a one-block space in between the corners of your house. Extend the roof to these logs. Underneath this new roof space is a good spot to add flowers.
Community Q&A
- QuestionWhy dig out a tunnel under the ground when you could just make a bigger house?CaptianYayaCommunity AnswerAn underground room can A) save you resources while making, B) make it less likely a creeper will blow it up, C) when used with the right hiding techniques, you can make a safe bunker to hide your diamonds, enchanted armor, etc.
- QuestionWhy would you do that?SpaceFace29Community AnswerYou need somewhere to live and sleep for the night. In a cottage, you can store all of your tools, treasure, and more! That's why you should build a cottage in Minecraft.
- QuestionHow do I make one of these in survival mode?CaptianYayaCommunity AnswerYou need to get all the materials and then make it. Do not put it around a cave system, lava or a super dark place. Put torches around the structure, too.
