BUILDING Your Ultimate STARTER HOUSE – Minecraft 1.20

Foreign miniseries on how to build a starter house that doesn’t suck now in the previous episode we worked on planning and as you can see we have the wireframe all ready to go so if you haven’t watched episode 1 head over and check it out because right now it’s time to start

Building and in today’s episode we’re gonna take our green wool wireframe and transform it into a rough model of what we eventually want our house to look like so without any further Ado let’s get going so first things first we need to choose our building materials and that’s going

To depend largely on the biome you spawn in or which biomes are close to you because every biome offers a set of unique materials to use in your build for example if you spawn in or near a desert and decide to build it you might

Have a bit of a problem finding a lot of wood but Sandstone will be plentiful if you spawn near a mangrove swamp you will have Mangrove Roots Mangrove logs and of course a lot of mud a jungle biome will give you access to Bamboo jungle logs and a lot of awesome animals

While spawning near a Mesa will give you access to an almost unlimited supply of multi-colored terracotta blocks so with that in mind let’s get Gathering now because the series is aimed at teaching you how to build a starter house in a survival world we are going

To build in a plane’s buy home because a plane’s biome gives you a lot of access to food Villages and a bunch of building materials that can be easily mined or gathered and seeing as we are in the plane’s bomb we’re going to go with some Oak and some

Stone now before you dismiss these two blocks as being plain and boring remember that these two base blocks will give you access to all of this from your basic Stone and Oak blocks you can create cobbled variations stairs slabs chisel variation smooth Stone as well as some Mossy variations of your

Cobbled blocks you can also make some stone bricks and their Mossy variation and then lastly by digging around a bit you will be able to get your hands on some andesite which can be crafted into stairs walls and slabs as well as some gravel all of which complement the stone

Blocks perfectly on the Oak Side you have access to normal oak logs stripped oak logs fences slabs stairs Oak planks doors and of course fence gates and trap doors so with these two simple blocks you can create a great block palette which is simple yet will give you enough

Variation to make your build look absolutely awesome so now that we have our block palette selected I think it is time for us to say goodbye to the horrible dirt Fox with a flick of the lever we will make it disappear and I think I might regret doing that

Later but that was a lot of fun so I’m not too bothered right now thank you and with our blocks in hand it’s time to start building now the first question is to frame or not to frame and yes framing is exactly what it sounds like we will

Be taking some oak logs and framing out each room of the house as we did with a green wall this might be a costly exercise but it does give some absolutely brilliant results and depending on what type of home you build you might choose not to do this at all

We are however going to frame this entire house so let’s get busy doing exactly that and there we have it our entire house has been framed with Oak and with this step completed we can now fill in the frame with our stone walls and because we took the time to plan everything out

In green wool we know exactly where to leave gaps for outdoors and windows now this is a very useful thing early game because when you mine stone with an early game pickaxe in a survival world you will get cobblestone which then needs to be smelted in order to turn it

Back into stone a very costly exercise however if you know where to leave your gaps you won’t need to mine them out later and you will save a lot of time and resources by not having to turn all the Cobblestone that you mine out back into stone so we’re just going to go

Around the entire house and fill in all the walls with some Stone and this is the final wall that we’re filling in right now so as you can see all of our walls have now been filled in with some plain Stone and at this stage this is still looking

Very very boring however we will be fixing that up a little bit later for now we’re just going to fill in these two walls to create a bit of separation between the rooms and the next tip will be building a roof now there are many different roof

Designs to choose from firstly you can go with a standard v-shape as you can see here it is just two straight lines meeting in the middle now creating this roof is very simple you start by placing down a stair aiming at the top of that stick and placing down an upside down

Stair then you place another stay on top of the upside down stay and you repeat this pattern until they meet in the middle now if you followed the previous video suggestion of building your walls in uneven numbers you will end up with a one wide block in the middle which means

You can fill it with some Oak planks and top it off with a slab now the Nyx design gives you a rounded roof and this is one of my personal favorites and creating it is also very simple we’ll start off by placing down some Oak stairs on this end moving to the other

Side and placing down an upside down Oak stay then we’ll repeat that process but here is where the change comes in we switch to some Oak slabs and then just step it up one at a time until they meet in the middle once again and as you can

See that gives you a lovely pleasing curve you can also go the other route and make a pointy roof now in this variation you can see it starts with a gentle slope and then ramps up towards the middle and to start off we’re going to put down a

Slab which then we’re going to step up with a half slab step it up once more with another half slab and then we’re going to put down some upside down stairs we then put stairs on top of that and once again in the middle we’ll fill

It up with some slabs and there we go a nice pointed roof with a gentle slope to it now you can also go with something a bit more fancy like this gambrel roof however this is a bit more complicated to build and once again like in many

Other things if you decide to build this roof you will need to consider its scale as you can see in this example when building a gambrel roof on a small scale it just somehow doesn’t look right however if we move up to a bigger build with a much larger scale you can see

That it looks a lot better so planning your roof according to your scale is also something that you will need to take into account however for your starter house I would suggest sticking to a much simpler roof it will not only be easier to build but you will also

Save A Lot on building materials if you prefer a chunkier roof you can start off on the end with some logs then you can fill it in with another type of building material I would suggest something such as the new bamboo blocks which have a lot of variations and can

Be used to create a lot of different patterns and shapes in the roof itself as you can see I started off with some simple bamboo stays then I added some bamboo Mosaic stairs as well as some normal bamboo blocks creating a bunch of variations and keeping the roof looking

Interesting if we move over to the other side you will see that I started off with some simple bamboo planks I then added in some bamboo Mosaic planks for variation a few bamboo stairs and then played around with the orientation of the normal bamboo blocks to create some

Interesting looks and patterns so they are almost endless variations that you can use on your roofs and it’s up to you to play around until you find one that works best with your build for our build we’re going to go with the gentle curved roof and we’re going to

Start off by placing some Oak stairs down on the top of the frame so as you can see on the fifth block from the floor we’re just placing down some Oak stairs we then Place upside down Oak stairs on the inside another Oak stay on top of that which is going to be

Followed by more upside down stairs on those from there we switch to slabs and we start going up one step at a time until we get it to meet in the middle and there we go we have a lovely curved slope to our roof we then create the top

Of the roof by simply laying down some slabs until it meets the wall and by doing that we have created a basic wireframe for our roof and now we can go ahead and do the same for the top floor now for the top floor we’re going to be

Turning this design 90 degrees as you can imagine if you Orient all your roofs in the same direction it’s going to become boring very quickly and by turning it 90 degrees we add an interesting element to our roof line so we’ve got the one side done and now

We’re going to repeat that process on the other side and with the sides of our roof complete we can now complete the rest of the wireframe for our roof profile and once again we’re just adding a slab top layer to the roof and there we go we

Have our two roofs on our house and we can get a good idea of what it’s going to look like once it is complete so now the next step is to fill in all those Open Spaces and we’re going to start by filling in the edge over here now what we’re going

To do is simply place down some Oak blocks and one in the middle and there we go the entire front is covered and yes it might look a little bit boring at the moment but we’ll fix that later when we get to the texturing and we’re going

To do the same on the top of the roof so that’s one side and because this roof has two sides to it we need to do the same on the other side as well and with the sides filled in we can now move on to placing down the roof tiles

And to do that we’re simply going to continue placing stairs over there and then some slabs where we stepped it up on the corners and we’re going to repeat this on all of the roof sides until we’ve got the entire roof filled in with blocks so here we go on the other side

Start off with some slabs at the top followed by some slabs just beneath that and on the edge we’re gonna add the stairs and as you can see the roof is now complete which means we can now turn our attention to the interior and we’re going to start off by installing some floors

So first up we’re going to do the floors for the Second Story and over here we’re going to have a little balcony these floors will also serve as the ceiling for the first story so with a balcony done let’s move into the bedroom and we’re just using some Oak planks to

Place down the floor for the second story now here where we’ve got our stairs we need to keep in mind that we need to leave a gap where we can actually access the second story so let’s just Place those in there and then we’ve got a gap over here where we can

Go down the stairs now one important thing to remember is to keep your height of your stairs in mind so that you don’t whack your head against the ceiling every time you go up or down the stairs so let’s complete this staircase and then we can check out the height of our

Ceiling and ensure that we can go up and down the stairs very easily and without hitting our heads relax this is where you’ll make any final adjustments to your stairs and your ceiling so make sure you can go up and down easily without banging into the ceiling over there

And with our Second Story floor in place we can now install the bottom floor and we’re going to start off by digging out the entire room so over here we’re going to use some slabs to cut down on the amount of building materials we need as nothing can spawn under them and your

Top slab will look exactly like a full block so let’s dig out the entire bottom floor and replace it with some Oak slabs now it’s easy to install your floor before you install your doors because if I break this block you will see that the

Door pops up as well and while this is no big deal it can be a little annoying so install your floors before you install your doors and when installing your doors orientation matters as you can see if I stand outside and install this door it is flush with the outer

Wall which gives it no depth and it just looks a little bit Bland we want to use the door to create a bit of depth on your wall so instead of installing it from the outside go inside and place it down if we now look at it from the

Outside you will see that there’s already a bit of depth to the wall and this simple change have already created a more interesting look with all of the doors and floors in place as you can see it is getting quite dark in here which means it’s time to

Place down some torches in order to prevent monsters from spawning in your house and eating your brains these torches are of course only temporary also make sure that you place some torches inside your roof because once you get your ceiling in there it becomes very dark very quickly and you could

Easily end up with a roof full of zombies and skeletons and there we have it our wool wireframe has been transformed into an actual structure and from here we can carry on with some detailing and texturing but that is where we’ll end for today in the next episode we’ll be using all of

These blocks to add some texture to our walls and transform these dull Mundane Stone walls into something that looks a lot better I do hope you found this tutorial useful leave a like if you did and if you don’t want to miss the next episode on texturing be sure to hit that
