Minecraft Education Edition – How to Code a House

Hello welcome to this learn learn tutorial this tutorial a house in Minecraft education edition so here I’ve got a house as you can see it’s got a roof walls but a window it’s quite a simple house and you can make yours a bit better but the good thing about this

House is I’m not built it by hand I’ve used code to build it so it means whenever I want my own house and of a house wherever I am all I have to do is issue the command build house and there it goes it builds a house right around

Me wherever I stand as you can see there’s my original there’s my new house my original old house is over there perfect okey dokey so let’s get started so the first thing you need to do is you need to create yourself a new world we’ll

Just go new world and it needs to be a will do a creative one for the moment and set it to flat while we’re doing the tutorial which makes it nice and easy we’d have to worry about dying or hills and stuff and what we need to do is we

Need to do some coding so we need to press C on the keyboard which will bring up the code builder and we click on new projects and let’s call this house – you could call yours house but I’ve got loads of house projects so get rid of

The on start bit because we don’t need that and we’re going to be using the chat command but we’re going to change it from run to build house there we go and all we do is the first thing we need to do is we’re mostly going to be using

This block here this is the main one going to be a music and this is the fill block and what this does is say okay I want you to create me a cube or a cuboid of of some sort of fill of whatever material you want to fill it with and

You’re going to do it from this position here to this position here now we haven’t actually set anything now it’s zero zero zero zero zero zero and that’s relative because this squiggle there that’s relative to my position which means that at the moment all it would do is build a single block

By my feet but we don’t want to do that we want to extend these blocks and the way we want to extend it is we want to say let’s say I’m stood here we want to extend it from minus five minus five over there which is sort of five away

Down to the bottom left all the way over to plus five up plus five across there which will create a cube ten by ten because it’s – five – five we found me eleven actually because – five – five but it would creates a nice big hue ball

The way over there and we also wanted to go up as well so that it builds above our head so what we do is we say okay we’re gonna start minus five on the left and we’re gonna start at minus one below us because we want to start building in

The ground and we want to go from minus 5 on the left behind so minus five left minus five behind and then minus one on just underground and we want to walk or go all the way along to five to the right and then five deep in front of us

And then we’re also gonna go up about seven so that’ll go seven kind of blocks high there we go so let’s have a go at that let’s try that now if we come over here and we do build house there we go perfect well almost perfect it got a

Slight issue now and that is that whilst I have built is a lovely big cube here you can see it there is a nice big cube of dirt yeah I’ve actually built us a solid cube rather than the hollow cube let’s press C again and the reason is is

This one here change that from replace to hollow so it’s going to create a hollowed-out cube and I’m going to do something bit more exciting let’s do a oak planks there we go so let’s try that again so now if we come here Bill’s house there we go much better there we

Go so now we’ve got a nice hollow big house and you can make it as big as you like you can put it ten or fifteen or something you can experiment with it I’m going to stick with that for the moment so now what we want to do is we want to

Give ourselves some windows now the windows here if we’re gonna build it on this wall got our imagine let’s see if there’s left-right this is gonna be coordinate five and then so if we’re gonna go five left and right stick on this corner here but for the deepness is going into the world

Then we’re gonna soar start at minus three over here go all the way up to plus three over here and then we’re gonna build it sort of up the top of the building so maybe start at three vertical and go to six so let’s have a

Go of that so again we’re going to go with a fill with this time I’ll fill it with glass and we’re gonna go let’s do – five we’re gonna have – five – five – five with these by the way it’s easy just to experiment often to see what

Happens so we’re gonna go on this one left-hand wall at – five – five we’re going to start and we’re going to go from minus three across to three across and then this is the vertical one here let’s start at three up and go to six up

And now hopefully that should build is a nice little house glass window the old house and there you go perfect so we got a glass window of there and actually I want to build a glass window as well as having a glass window along the minus five wall I’m gonna have

A glass window across the plus five wall as well there so let’s just smash a hole in there so we can get out I’m gonna build the doorway soon and let’s just edit that so let’s go okay duplicate that one right click and duplicate and this time instead of going on the minus

Five wall will go on the plus five wall and that should now if we build us another version of the house this is why I built Leo on the flat terrain rather the building on a normal one always been you’re hopping around everywhere trying to build stuff there we go

That wall and that wall good okay so we’ve got the windows in which is good now what we’ll do is we’ll get it so it builds in one of these walls here we’ll get it to build a doorway so look so here we go this one we won’t place multiple blocks

We’ll just do two of the single blocks because it’s a lot of effort and we’ll just do them at fixed coordinates so one this one what we’re going to do is we’re not going on this minus 5 and plus 5 left and right we’re going to do it on

The other wall which means that effectively we’re going to swap these coordinates kind of over so what we do here is we believe that those can be at 0 let’s go 1 & 2 and then this one is gonna be at plus 5 so in fact let’s do 0

1 2 3 so a nice big doorway let’s try that let’s see if that works so here now what it should do if we go over here and you build outs here yeah there we go oh yeah almost perfect apart from I didn’t make it out of air

And it needs to be if this goes 0 1 2 instead so let’s go 0 oops not not 10 0 1 2 and we’ll build that out of air so it’s a nice hole in the wall it did do there we go that should work fine there we go let’s try that

Build house hey there you go it’s got a nice doorway nice big doorway and a house with some windows but now what we need to do is we need to build ourselves a proper roof so I could triangular style roof if I actually I’m not going to trying this

Down I’m going to do one that starts from the outside and comes to a point in the center so how do you do that well nice and simple all we need to do here is again go back to our fill with this time what we do is thank you

There we go we’re going to do a similar thing that we did here where we started at minus 5 minus 5 up to number seven and then we’re gonna make these numbers slowly but surely gets smaller and smaller and smaller so that it will come to a point so let’s

Start at seven I know due to number eight so it stacks on top start on number of eight and we’ll do minus 5 minus 5 plus 5 plus oops right plus 5 plus 5 so this will do the flat single bit on the roof we’ll do a bit spruce

Wood for the roof there let’s try that long let’s say build house make sure that works there we go that should have put our first layer on the roof there we go perfect there’s our first layer of spruce on the roof and all we’ll do now

Is what we’ll do is we’ll just keep going with this duplicate and what we’ll do now is we’ll do minus 4 minus 4 plus 4 plus 4 and we’re just but this time we’ll do it 9 up and then 10 up and we’ll keep going minus 3 minus 3 plus 3

Plus 3 so this number is getting the middle numbers getting bigger because that’s going higher up vertical but these side numbers here are getting smaller and let’s just do that again let’s keep going minus 2 minus 2 plus 2 plus 2 to placate yeah minus 1 minus 1 plus 1 plus 1 there

We go and we’ll do the last one which is 0 0 0 0 so just place one little dot so 0 0 0 0 whoops I’m not put those up on our 10 11 11 11 11 there we go and that hopefully now shirt here we go yeah yes we’ll go build house

And hopefully now I forgot the door there we go we got a pointy roof just like that excellent I’ve just missed the top two and that’s because here this should have said twelve twelve thirteen thirteen so my roofs getting a bit pointy there we go that’s fine let’s close that off

There we go and there we go let’s just do not code let’s build us up a house build house and there is done so that’s your house complete which is fine it terms of improvements if you want to add some more what you can do instead is you

Could add yourself a bit with chimney on there you can add yourself some more windows onto your house and next time when the exit or going to look at how we can make it a bit more efficient now we can use loops to speed things up okey doke thank you very much
