Grian – 3 Minecraft Starter TREEHOUSE Designs

Hello my name is green and today I’m going to be showing you how to make three tree house designs the first one is this very simple oak one designed for a large tree so let’s get straight into this first design I have picked the top

Of the hill and I’ve had to spawn in my own tree and this is the one we’re going for the absolute largest that it goes for because any other tree is simply not big enough to have enough space for a tree house to work on so you can see

That there are almost natural platforms where we can build on so what we need to do is actually shave off some of the layers of leaves on those natural platforms to give us some space to build on it’s okay to make it look weird to begin with because they’re going to add

Back some of the leaves a little later on basically this house is going to be sitting on top of the natural shape of the tree and we do this by creating a framework to begin with so that we know where each individual part of this house

Is going to go so as you can see I’ve got three different layers which I have highlighted on this tree to build some framework on and I’ve started just by placing some pillars up in the air to indicate where this is going to go and you might be able to already tell that

This is not a particularly big house none of these treehouses are they are intended to be small starter houses having said that even though they are started that doesn’t mean that you don’t need to collect quite a few materials my idea of a starter house is small and

Doable within a few Minecraft days anyway let’s get back to the build where we need to fill in the floor removing some of the leaves is a natural process and if it looks odd we can replace some of them later we need to make sure the

Structure of the house is sound first so you’ll notice that we’ve connected up all of those pillars with some spruce wood however it doesn’t necessarily have connections everywhere in the bottom left there aren’t any at all and it’s okay to leave some sections open so as

You can see things are starting to take shape and right now all it is is sitting on top of this tree but because of the mixed layers on the y coordinate it actually looks like it’s integrated into the tree it self don’t be afraid to mess with the

Leaves so what we need to do now is add a roof and I’ve chosen dark oak simply because the pallet fits the best with this house itself you can use something else or whatever’s available to you in the local facility if this is your true starter house don’t go leaving the nasty

Comments saying oh you can’t get dark oak and spruce and everything without traveling yes I know I’m just giving you the ideal situation and you’ll notice that when I’m doing this roof it’s not symmetrical it’s not flat it is working with the shape of the building it works

Its way up gradually but doesn’t also connect with every single layer this largest section on the top has a very fluid movement of half slabs to reach the top and it’s got a very distinct overhang I’ve also added in a bunch of leaves but also where it looked like I

Was trying to cover up a hole there’s no point because it will always look like I’m trying to cover up a hole so I just made a little balcony instead to make it look a bit more natural so let’s take a step back and you’ll notice that it’s

Very spindly like this tree doesn’t look like it should be holding up this big house on its own the trunk is too small so what we’re going to do and indeed what we’re going to have to do with a few other designs is make the trunk thicker and that includes just adding a

Single layer around the side and then adding some roots that are spreading out from the bottom at different heights so now what we need to do is fill in all of those holes with some stained glass windows however if you don’t have any of the dies necessary just go for normal

Glass that’s absolutely fine again I’m just adding that different variation on color in case you want to put the extra effort in to make the pallet look a bit nicer the last thing I did was add some grass and some flowers on the top just

To give it a bit of color in there with some red and some white juleps the interior is what you make of it they aren’t particularly big they are cozy so put a chest where you can a furnace where you can and a bed and you’ve got

Your finished house so this is the first design designed on top of a large oak it’s fairly simple it’s got three different segments it’s got a nice open plan but it is small and it is snug like all of these treehouse designs it took about 20 minutes to make and creative so

To get all the materials and to build in survival it will take a little bit longer but significantly less time than making a gigantic castle so let’s move on to the next design which is in a spruce forest and as you can see the design is a bit chunkier than the other

One this is because we don’t have a platform to work on we just have a large tool tree and as you might be able to tell none of these trees are big enough for us to work with so we actually need to spawn in a large one or you could

Travel to the biome where you find these so this is the size we’re looking for however you could adapt this to pretty much any of the mega spruce trees to work with so we need to make sure we’ve got enough height between the base of

Our house and the top of the tree we really don’t want to be removing any of the leaves otherwise we’re really going to remove the idea that this is a treehouse so somewhat down the tree we’ve added in a platform and the size is important it’s not too big and not

Too small about two blocks out from the trunk itself is pretty good place to start with so we’re going to focus on the underneath to begin with so we’re going to add some supports that connect to each corner of this large trunk and it will look to begin with but once we

Add the detail in it will start to look a bit more in place so diagonally going down we add a spruce log until you reach the center and then add a dark oak slab on the tops have removed that white edge of the top and bottom of the texture and

This gives it some resemblance of support it’s completely apathetic of course anything can float in Minecraft at the bottom we’re going to make this a bit thicker by adding some roots that are going to spread out we’re also added some fences just as a bit of a detail also added some leaves

Just mixed in there to remind people that this is a tree and not just a house on a stilt so this is what the bottom should look like once you’ve got that ready so now it’s time to build the actual on top which may look complicated to

Begin with but if you take it slowly it should all work out so on the side we’re going to angle it upwards giving the house some height on the two corners we need to add some logs and then add some staircases that reach up to it we then layer some dark oak staircase

Across the top and this is going to indicate where the dormer and the roofs start on the other side I realize that I have used different books using spruce and dark oak like I said this is the ideal pallet you can use more readily available textures so moving on with

Making a dormer for this treehouse now adding a little roof and just a very simple window I’ve also started where the roof is going to be but because we haven’t got any other sides we’re not going to complete that bit just yet so what we’re going to do now is work on

The longer sides and make this shape where it goes up and then reaches a flat surface at the top right where it hits where the leaves are at the top like I said we don’t want to remove any of those leaves it’s quite important to keep that top intact this may look

Really big but on the inside it’s actually quite small and cozy so now that we’ve got that arch we can start filling in those bits in between now there’s a bit of an awkward space where you have to remove some leaves to get the roof in but most of the time you can

Work around it so there’s a little bit of space here and it’s just making your roof integrate into the tree without taking away too much of the definition of the leaves it should work out pretty nicely in the end so now we need to replicate what we’ve done on the far

Side to this side now again it does look like it’s going to end up being big but on the inside we’re talking about two blocks either side of the central pillar so there really isn’t a lot of space but this can look really nicely detailed from the outside and it’s a really good

Standard of treehouse so the front is a very standard design it’s just got a nice shape it doesn’t have your stereotypical cone-shaped roof it’s got a very nice flowing roof that connects all the way around but keeps that leaf intact on the top we’re not actually going to make a

Dormer on this side we’re going to connect up the roof all the way around to keep a flowing sense of shape for this roof again just using spruce slides to do so and when we hit the leaves just try and wrap around it in fact you could

Go even over the top if it doesn’t look quite right either way the roof should flow quite nicely all the way from one side to the other but for the most part you’re going to be looking at that central face with a very simple detail

To it so that is the design of the spruce one and you can probably tell it’s a bit of a step up from our oak one and that’s what I wanted to do I wanted to have a very simple design and move on to some slightly more complicated ones

In different scenarios for those that fancy a little bit more of a challenge however all of these are doable within 20 minutes in creative mode I made this in about 21 so in survival it yes it will take a few Minecraft days but the last one I want to show you is a

Little bit more technical than this one or the oak one so let’s move on to that now working in a jungle is a bit messy so I’m actually going to use this one in a flat world so that you can see what’s going on and this is the design we’re

Going for as you can see it’s a bit more complicated so let’s get straight into it so this is our tree and it’s one of the taller ones that you will find in the jungle and you can pick any one there are loads of these is probably no

Need to spawn them in if you find a jungle at the bottom we’re going to thicken it up much like we did with the spruce one earlier it’s just got different heights of logs with some sense and some half slabs just dot it around it’s just very sporadic there’s

No technique to it you’ve just got to get those different y-coordinates and it should look a ok so now it’s time to move on to the tough bit where we put the platform somewhere in the top third is a good idea again leaving the space between your platform and the top of the

Tree we don’t want to be removing too many of the leaves we need to make a platform that is almost circular I would ask where rip off the corners and you’ve got what you need which is a rough circle about four blocks each side should do it with one block in each

Corner to separate them underneath we’ve got this sort of hang dancing and this is just part of the style again it’s all aesthetic but most of this is jungle wood and spruce wood obviously you can tell now that spruce is my favorite block so we’re going to add some

Supports much like we did with the other one just going one block in until you reach the trunk of the tree where it connects and we’re actually going to add another platform that’s slightly smaller that reaches just below the one we’ve made so we need to add another support

Just an l-shape made out of log and spruce that reaches where we’re going to put the platform a 3×3 size should do this one nicely and it’s still going to have a circular shape because when we add the logs on the outside leaving that core intact will give it a slightly

Circular shape even though the fact is it’s actually square but underneath we have the hang down effect that we had on the other one it is slightly closer together which is what makes this support not stand out too much it’s all about keeping that style consistent however we

Are focusing right now on the foundation of this build it’s much easier to build up the walls once we know exactly what the floor space is going to look like so where this leaves overhang on a branch we’re actually going to create a little balcony on top of it because it would

Look odd to have a structure sitting on it so we’ve got this nice balance of platform smaller platform and balcony and it’s time to actually add in the structure for it as you can see again I’m not removing many of the leaves at all I rearranged where the balcony was

But for the most part believes are intact and I’m making the roof just a lip around the framework that we made earlier so now we’re going to work on the larger platform now that we’ve defined the style it’s time to work on this one we need to connect the bottom

Of these leaves to the platform itself to make sure that the whole thing looks like it connected it’s part of the style of this particular build so the log pillows have been raised just one block below and that’s quite important because we need some space to integrate this lip with the jungle

Planks that I’ve just made I also did a few details with the spruce staircase to give it a bit of depth and a bit of shape this is all aesthetic and is unnecessary and long run so we need to make our way round the build making sure

Not to mess up too much around the trunk itself because it’s not a perfect circle if you include the trunk itself so we just need to continue that design all the way through creating a lip that goes all the way around and overhangs in flat but the leaves don’t match up it looks

Like it’s just floating on the top so if we just droop some down over the top of the balcony it actually makes it look more integrated into the design and less of that flat surface where it’s just overhanging adding some leaves is a great idea where the log shows you can

Add some trapdoors just for some extra detail it’s just those minor details that make a really big difference to a design on the balcony had just added a bunch of fences and fence gates that shouldn’t be too expensive to make considering your inner jungle full of logs to take but there is spruce

Involved so you will need to collect some of that to make this design work with the color scheme again also used some stained glass on this one again you can use just non stained glass if you can’t get your hands on the die but that is the design for the jungle treehouse

But this is in a flat world you would probably want to see it in a jungle setting to know if this is a house that you want to invest some time in and again this one only took me 26 minutes to make I do still consider this a

Starter house just because of the size and compactness of it but that doesn’t mean it can’t look good so that is the jungle treehouse in the setting of a jungle I did put it just on the periphery so that it isn’t too hard to see what it looks like in the setting so

I really really like is designed and indeed all three so that’s the end of today’s video I hope you’ve enjoyed this it was a hard job to make three different designs and pearlescent moon helped me a lot to make these work so thank you to her and thank

You to you for watching I would really really appreciate it if you left a comment giving me your opinion not only on these builds but on some more ideas that you would like me to make in the future thank you very much for watching and good bye
