Building A Minecraft House The Right Way (According To Mojang)

If you’ve played minecraft you’ve probably built a house at least once except for these guys who said no most of us had those nostalgic moments when we decided to make a house entirely out of diamond blocks and creative or shack made out of dirt in survival honestly to the worst building blocks

In my opinion but how would mojang build a house in minecraft well today we’ll be building a house from one of the sacred texts the original minecraft construction handbook not the updated edition the original one to see how mojang would build the house at least in version 1.7 in addition to

The house itself i’ll be constructing the back garden and hedge mace off to the side of the house as seen here but there’ll be a little twist later on to our build that you might find interesting also before we get into the video if you haven’t already consider dropping a like

And hitting that subscribe button we’re trying to get to 50 000 subscribers by june i need your help hope you enjoy the video the very first thing that i did was to locate a plane spy on bordering the swamp as that’s what we can see in the

Pictures in our book although it is unlikely that there would be a ruined portal within render distance in the book especially in 1.7 the first step was to get our area of land suited for building because the house or mansion you could call the mansion it’s pretty big

And it needs a large amount of area this mostly just included covering up caves and water pools and flattening out the terrain a bit the very front of our house is going to be facing in this direction and in the back here we’re going to have

A little garden area and off to the side by the swamp we’re going to have the hedge maze well i finished the basement i mean technically it’s the first floor so it’s not really basement but but it looks like a basement that’s what matters and you may have noticed i had to move

It down by one block because i built it on an elevated area that was too small there’s actually some of it left here i just realized and that wasn’t gonna work out because it needs to be on the same elevation as everything else so i moved it down

And it ended up working out okay but we need to move on to the next couple floors now and we’re gonna finish off the actual house and then we’ll work on the gigantic porch that goes around the outside which honestly might make up like a third of

The total square feet of the house i mean maybe meters but Here’s what the house looks like just by itself without the giant porch any of the decorative stuff in the back and that’s actually what we got to work on now is making the massive porch that goes around most of the outside and the fancy guard in the back i mean

Fantasy by 1.7 standards maybe not by current minecraft standards I’m not sure why mojang had logs underneath all the leaves maybe something was different about the game back then that would make the leafs decay or something but i don’t really remember that either way it kind of looks cool and we have this really old school pool back here just some sandstone and

Exposed glowstone probably benefit from steel entrance now and there’s a little patio over here with an anvil posing as a grill or barbecue thingy something like that and we’ve even got some visitors to our house that were generous enough to donate two Leads So who would have thought that making a maze out of leaves and logs underneath that would take longer than the house definitely would have been me but it did it i think it may have been maybe a minute less but it felt as long and we also have a cliff back here

Because i kind of underestimated how much room the maze would take up and yeah you could trap your friends in here maybe uh make them run towards the center and just hope they didn’t bring the shears or put them in adventure mode instead there’s only one way to actually get

Into the center of the maze it’s pretty simple you can’t just go through there around the little area and go back down and you’re in the center so most of the maze is redundant but i guess that’s kind of what amaze is it’s mostly redundancies to make it hard

Anyways you may think we are done because we did everything that we talked about doing in the book but we are not done definitely not you see if we go over here to this double chest these are literally all the materials that we use in building the house the garden and the

Maze it’s not very much for quite a few structures like that and if we go over here and go inside the house itself there’s literally nothing except for the one zombie that managed to spawn and we’re gonna change that because the book doesn’t actually show any interior for the house but what i’m

Going to do is i’m going to combine old school minecraft in other words the house with the new modern building styles for the interior i’m going to give it a full interior and we’re going to see what it looks like old school on the outside and modern interior on the inside and

Then we’ll be complete the inside is completely finished and there’s absolutely nothing different on the outside so you’re not gonna be able to tell much just by looking at it from out here but when we go inside you’re going to be surprised because it is a lot different than before

Even just entering in here you can see we already have demarcated this bottom floor into lots of different rooms we’ve got ourselves a nice carpet there’s one singular hat right here and straight ahead there is kind of a little blacksmith the room we’ve got a perpetually lit uh blast furnace here

Thanks to a convenient command that allows you to place in a block that’s already lit like it’s just gonna it’s just gonna burn forever due to the magic of commands there’s a little neat trick here you can do with the lanterns where it makes it look like it’s actually attached to

A point in the ceiling as opposed to just sitting underneath the wood and over here there’s a bit of a storage room and the kitchen floor uh it leaks a little bit you’ll you’ll see why in a sec but storage room here nothing too fancy and in this side

We have the staircase going up it’s kind of like a little wraparound thing more the lantern tricks and there’s a couple flowers back here as we go up here we can see we’ve got a nice hanging lantern and we’ve got a pretty spacious living room with a nice sort of glass table

There’s also a trick that you can do to make potted plants by having them in a composter filled with uh with compost um yeah it actually looks like dirt inside so it’s kind of a clever trick i don’t i don’t know if i’m the first one to

Figure this out i highly doubt that i am but it just occurred to me to do here over here there’s the kitchen and the dining room and you can see why the floor is leaking now because of the sink here and there’s a campfire underneath the smoker constantly making it have

Smoke particles it’s a fairly common trick but you can make little like drawer patterns using the backsides of looms it looks really really similar to a drawer so that’s what those are inside here we’ve got a pretty small bedroom it looks like the snow that’s the pillow melted because of the

End rod that’s i did not anticipate that but it’s actually like a bigger bed not just the literal bed blocks but kind of cool trick you can do snow layers make it look like a pillow kind of an older school bed design but still looks pretty cool and going up to

The third floor we have a few rooms up here just two bedrooms this is really small bedroom kind of like a literally no windows just a closet almost and if we go through here there is a bigger bedroom and there is the balcony you can look

Down over there with a very very bright looking carpet it’s another one these bad designs although the pillows haven’t melted this time which is a good thing there’s access to the porch from the kitchen and there’s also access to the porch from right here by the staircase to the second floor

So that’s pretty much all i did to the inside it’s kind of a lot there’s a lot more building materials in there than what was used probably to build the entire house plus garden plus maze but yeah we’ve got ourselves a nice house according to mojang but with my own

Interior design which i think works pretty nicely i think that’s going to be it for this video i hope you guys enjoyed this idea that was pretty cool let me know in the comments if there are any other builds you’d like me to do according to mojang like maybe out of

This book and we could sort of do a similar thing where we made the interior really fancy because it wasn’t shown in the book if you did enjoy consider dropping a like and hitting that subscribe button that’s gonna be all for this video guys thanks for watching i’ve been speed and

I’ll see you in the next video or livestream bye
