How to Build a Simple Survival House | Minecraft Tutorial

Hello everyone and welcome back to another building tutorial today i’m going to walk you through how to build this super simple starter house for your minecraft worlds here are the blocks that i’m choosing to work with we have spruce some oak birch logs um some little decoration blocks and then some

Andesite and some cobble and with that out of the way let’s get started with our layout when starting on these belts i like to begin by marking out the foundation little pillars i’m going to do one block of andesite three blocks of cobble one block of andasite three blocks of cobble

One block of endocyte and then let’s just carry that along to the back as well three blocks of cobble three blocks of cobble three blocks of cobble so in the front we have two of these sections and along the back we have three now that we have this basic

Foundation marked in it’s time to build it up i’m going to build this entire foundation up to three blocks high i’m going to take my anda site and build it up one block higher than the cobble on all of the pillars and at this point i’m going to stop with

The stone foundation detailing and move on and mark in the rest of the structures before i continue starting with this structure that’s going on top of this foundation by building up some oak logs five blocks tall in each corner once that’s done we’re going to go next

To this endocyte pillar and build up some oak logs this time we’re going to do six blocks tall well then skip five one two three four five and again six blocks tall on the side here i’ll skip five once again and again six blocks tall and connect that in to the side on

This andesite pillar in order to visualize our walls better let’s mark those in now and bring them up to the height of the oak locks the walls are going to be filling in each of these spots here just like so if you want it to be a

Little bit easier to place the walls on this foundational layer we’re going to build in a rim of cobblestone just to give us something to place the logs on once that’s in we’ll be able to go all the way along here and fill it in with some birchwood we’re going to end up

Deleting some of this a little bit later on in the tutorial right here to get the interior connection to work so if you don’t want to build this just kind of mark out where the pillars are and don’t fill those blocks in then just going to

Build up all of these birch logs to match the height of the oak ones notice how we have this weird gap right here make sure you finish that connection by dragging this tiny wall across to this larger one in the foundation just so we don’t have any weird air gaps there

And once that’s done you should have something that looks a little bit like this now i’m going to take my andesite slabs and i’m going to go ahead and make a nice little pattern going all the way along this foundation two slabs and then if you wanted this

Could also be a full block i’m just gonna slap it in since i’m in creative mode gonna do that all the way along this entire foundation now it’s time to work on the roof we’re going to be grabbing our spruce blocks for this so let’s get

Them out now i’m going to start with this lower building here bringing some spruce stairs all the way to this furthest oak log and leaving it there and then dragging it all the way forward to overhang one across this oak glock i’m gonna do that on both sides and then

Over here on this peak part is where we’re going to start staircasing it up putting it upside down and then a right side up and an upside down and then a full block right side up upside down full block and just repeat again at the top here

I’m actually going to do a full block and then a stair and i’m going to cap this up a little differently i’m going to actually just put two of those blocks like that in order to add a little bit more variety to this roof you can also

Change these stairs to be upside down to give it a little bit more of a spiky look and have it be more unique to just just a little bit different i really like this effect i think it works really well in the style just so that we

Know where the connection is on this other building i am going to bring some slabs all the way across here to about there it doesn’t have to be an exact science once we mark in this full roof we’ll get a better idea of where that needs to go speaking of let’s get the

Overhangs on this roof marked in just as we did on the other one when we get to this crossover section to make it easier to visualize the shape i go all the way through with my stairs even though i know i might need to delete some of those a little bit later on

Once that’s marked in i’m just going to do the exact same pattern here as i did there so starting with staircasing it up by one and then we’ll go up by a full block every time there you have it this looks a lot more like a house now if you’re happy with

The sort of design that you have going on your edge then now it’s time to fill it in going to start on each of the bottom edges here by filling it in with some oak you can do whatever color you want here dark prismarine is one of my personal favorite choices but seriously

Whatever color you want i’m going to go with oak to keep it pretty simple whenever we hit a stair like this i’m going to end up breaking that and replacing it with the full block this will make a little bit less awkward of a connection and don’t worry about these

Upside down parts i’m still going to go with stairs for oak that are right side up it’s a little weird at the front but to be honest i kind of like that effect with that filled in this is looking much better i’m not going to be sure how to

Do that connection until i also fill in this roof so let’s do that starting with the easy side so we know what we’re going up against let’s just do stairs all the way across and fill it in just like i did before right now for the more challenging side

So starting just like we did but wherever we come to a connection we’re just gonna let it kind of connect up naturally pretty easy on both sides just like so and then once again with this full block again just going to let this completely connect up exactly as it flows together

And with this last layer it’s connected so now we know that we need one more block on our spruce there you may have pulled that perfectly across on your first try i don’t know with that filled in it’s looking a lot better and we can now go in to our walls

And finish filling these all the way in so we don’t have that awkward breezy attic now it’s time for the finishing touches on these roofs first thing i’m going to do is get rid of this kind of awkward connection by bringing some oak logs in a triangle shape in this roof

That fits it so much better gonna do that on all three sides i’d like to plan to have a window right here so i’m gonna punch that in right now and also start on a little archway going right here that makes for a lovely window detail

Let’s do that on both sides we’re then going to go ahead and grab some leaves and just fill in this awkward cobble spot with some nice leaves you could also do grass here and plant some flowers on it but odds are in the early game you don’t have silk touch yet so

Staircase some grass up or just use leaves which is pretty simple and personally one of my favorite touches the door for this belt is going to go right here you could also do here or the other side it’s it’s completely up to you honestly it doesn’t really matter

Where the door goes for the design but wherever you put it just blop a stair over its head and let’s actually put a door there perfect now we do have the awkward gap going on right here so i think it’s about time we fill that in as

Well i’m gonna connect all of these weird edges with some logs you could also do planks if you’re low on materials really make sure you get in there and don’t forget any we’re now going to continue with some simple roof details which for me is just going to be adding these little slabs

All the way along this is such a simple detail to do but it really helps out you can also now curve the stair inwards to kind of help it integrate into that oak log a little bit better we’re gonna do that on all of our edges grabbing my glass of choice now so

That i can start putting it into all of my windows make sure you have these marked out wherever you want them i’m gonna leave that wall alone for now but i definitely want one back here as well as right here and i think on this edge we’ll do a very similar detail

To what i did on the other one just to keep it consistent some very simple staircasing slaps looks good on this side opposite our foundation i’m going to actually put some of these andesite details on the side just to keep it a little bit more consistent with what’s going on everywhere

And then we can start with some more of our details on each of these upper edges on this lower build i’m going to put some fences i’m going to use trapdoors back here to look at shutters on this window and then very simply we’re going to be

Adding in some dirt and getting some lovely little flower boxes going out here you can do two or you can do one whatever you would like to they both fit in this space perfectly fine and then just plop your flower of choice or some leaves in that area this is also a good

Time to connect it to a path if you wanted to at this point the build is pretty much complete but if you want you can add some little lighting sources hanging off of your roof by just adding a slab and then some fencing coming down it’s

Really easy to do this off of this type of roof because i already made it kind of leaning out a little bit of grass and this build is complete perfect for any starter area that you could need i’m not really here to tell you how to

Build your interior but this is how i would split up the interior of a house like this you have this simple front entrance area maybe for some storage or some general crafting you can go under here where you have more functional area space and then you also have this tiny

Staircase that can take you up into maybe a bedroom and also lots of options for a second floor in here with maybe a ladder or a small staircase against this wall or this one this house gives a surprising amount of interior space for the size and effort that you need to put

Into the exterior i hope that it works out for you and that you enjoyed this tutorial as always everyone thank you so much for watching let me know if you built this in your world and how it turned out i totally want to see it thank you so much
