Minecraft : How to Build a Beautiful Starter House (Tutorial)

Today i’m going to show you how to build this  medieval house in minecraft this is the build   taken from my survival series although we have  changed the roof out from bricks to deep slate   this build will also include a full interior  so be sure to stay through till the end  

And with that being said let’s take a look at  the layout and materials and let’s build this we’re gonna start by raising our pillars  to the heights shown on the floor plan   these have been colour coded to make  it easier we will also be using the   stripped darkhog logs for the pillars themselves

Do the walls are marked in a white and gray wall  and we’re going to build these to a total of   six blocks high except for the first two sections  which are only going to be five blocks high   we’re gonna build this with stone and  come back later to do the texturing

We will leave this final  section open for our doorway   heading over to the back left of the build  we will add one more layout for our tower using strip dark hook logs we’re going  to place beams for the upper level   please place close attention  to the location i placed them

Next we will add some spruce stairs for supports  for some of our pillars on the upper level   will start by placing two on the side and then a few around the back  these will be on every other block using strip dark oak logs let’s add  our final pillars for the upper level  

We will start on the left side here  adding two three block high pillars   on the spruce stairs we’ll replace this one  and face it into the log going into the side   on the right hand corner we will  add an eight block high pillar

Leaving a four block gap between the  pillar here we would then place another   pillar here which is six blocks high on the beam here place one block and then  add a seven block high pillar now we will go  

Around to the back and we will add two seven  block high pillars on the edge of the corner finally we will place two logs on the corners   replace this one with one going in the same  on this side and then two on the corners  

It’s time to add some flooring but this i  will be using spruce planks we’ll start by   doing the lower ground first section off the  area by the door and fill the remaining area once the flooring is in place go ahead and do  the same on the floor above this will be in  

Line with the beam that we have placed be sure to  add some light in to avoid any mobs from spawning next we’re going to be adding the walls for the  upper levels these are going to be done with white  

Concrete and we will be coming back later on to  texture them up to make them look a little bit   worn please pay close attention to the numbers  as these will be varying in different heights   from the upper level and facing  towards the front we will go ahead  

And build a seven block length wall here and we  will bring it up until it is five blocks high to the right will bring two up to five  blocks and then two up to four blocks   in the three block gap here we  will bring it up to three blocks

Now for our tower we will raise these  to four blocks high final one on the   corner here will be one block higher at five  blocks then between the two pillars at the   back we’ll bring this all the way across  and bring this up to five blocks high in total

Finally at the side here we will fill both these  sections to four blocks high next we’re gonna   start adding in our roofs using deep slate so  using the four blocks we’re gonna start by placing   five blocks across this pillar here we’re gonna  wrap it around like this and then add two more  

Just here we will add three across the front here  five around here and then from this pillar all the   way to this pillar we will connect them up like  so using slabs we’re going to go ahead and just  

Fill in the gaps and then finally we’re gonna take  our spruce slabs and from the top here we’re gonna   place one here one underneath and we’re just gonna  step them down until we are one out at the front  

Bring them all the way across place another  one on the lower half of the blocks here   and then we’re just going to bring  them all the way around just like this next we’re going to head over to the side  here and right in line here we’re going to  

Create the overhang for the little  side piece so we’ll place one there   step it down again and again and we want to  keep stepping down until we go across by seven   blocks so one two three four five six and then  just a single one on the seventh block like so  

We will do exactly the same  from the end pillar just here and then connect the two edges up with the slabs next with our cobble blocks we will  bring them all the way across at the back   then we will skip one bring the  four blocks across from here  

And then again from here and then  in the gaps we will use our slabs now we will add the entrance porch and a  few details we will start by placing two   slabs here and use a combination of stone  bricks and andersite to fill in the floor

Place some upside down spruce stairs  add one on the ends of the pillars   and the bottom of these two pillars here from the inside here we will place some lectons  and then we will crouch and place some trapdoors  

On top of them place some stone bricks at the  top here with some stone brick stairs underneath   then we can add our two doors  from the inside like this at the front we’ll place some  fences in front of our pillars

Now we’re going to be placing some windows now  you can place these in different places if you   choose but for now we’re just going to place a  few of them around the lower and upper levels do add a little overhanging shelter  at the back of the building

Let’s finish up the last part of our walls before  we start the roof start by placing some upside   down stairs at the front here even a one block  gap between them and then a slab between the gaps  

Place two stabs underneath your windows and then  we will get our strip darko blocks we will place   one two three four one two three four and  then to the sides we’re gonna place three   of our white concrete and then  five concrete in the center like so  

Then with our stripped dark oak  logs we’re gonna place it free   across the gaps just here and we’re gonna go ahead  and put some spruce planks just on top of those finally at the very back we will  place a beam with our strip dark oak  

Leave a one block gap we will place  three just here and then three just here   and then with the white concrete we will place  two here two here and then four in the center   now heading back to the front we’re gonna head  right to the left hand side and make a start  

With our roof here we will place a temporary  block just here and then a slab to the side   bring that slab all the way to the  front and then overhang it by one block   and then we’re gonna stair step the slabs  all the way up until we attach to the fence

Now at this point here we’re gonna  go ahead we’re gonna place a stair   right against that block it’s an upside  down one behind it and we’re gonna repeat   that pattern all the way until we get  to the center block the peak of the roof

Place an upside down stair in the center one on  top and then one upside down one from the front   facing outwards then we’re going to just repeat  the pattern going down on the opposite side   extend your stairs all the way across to the  other side and then overhang the edge by one block  

And again we’re going to  repeat the exact same process this section of the roof can be a  little bit tricky so please follow along   carefully we’ll start by placing a full  block of spruce planks just above in line  

With our windows place a slab in front then  we’re going to place a stair at each side   and one on top of the full  block do the same on this side   also going to place a stair here and a stair  here now using your slabs we’re going to place  

Two on the top half of the first bit of concrete  just like this and then in the corners we’re gonna   go ahead and place a four block and then one at  each side be sure to place one in the corner there  

And the same thing on this side making sure  that you have the full block in the corner   and then one slab at each side there’s another  slab just here now from this side here we’re  

Going to place a plank here and a plank here  we will have a stair here and a stair here now   because this is the corner here we’re not going  to put a stair here we’re just going to round it  

Off so we have a block to work from inside here  we will place two of our planks in each corner and then one to fill in all of the gaps again  we will place a kind of cross in the center  

Place two stairs facing from this side and  two stairs facing from the opposite side   place a stair on top of the center blocks  all the way around and then place two   of your four blocks actually three blocks in the  center like so for the top of the tower you can  

Place three of your spruce fences the remaining  part of the roof is pretty simple we basically   just connect the blocks from one side to the next  so using our cobble deep state i’m gonna go ahead   break this block here and then extend  our full block all the way across to here  

This block here we will do exactly the same  until we join up on this side again we will   do the same from this full block here and bring  it across until we reach the stair on this side  

Now we’re just going to come around to this  side and then fill in the gaps with our slabs just like so now we’re going to go ahead  and we’re going to take our stairs and   we’re literally just going to bring them all the  way across and join them up to the opposite side

Just like this and we’re going to extend  that all the way up at the center we’re   just going to basically run a full beam from  the center here all the way across to here   so the top point would just be stairs facing  outwards like this until we reach the center  

Point and then the same on this side and then  right in the center we’ll place a full block   so all we got to do now is  extend our stairs on this side   and extend our stairs across on this side as  well so let’s go ahead and get that in place

Next we’re going to add in the  chimney along with a few more details   so underneath our shell on the right hand side  over here we’re gonna go ahead and we’re gonna   get our stone bricks we’ll leave a one block  gap on that stone there and start from here  

We’re gonna go one two three and four and then  from the beam here we’re gonna bring some stone   blocks all the way down and the same just  next to it here this one here we’re gonna add  

Just two blocks there and then i think we’ll  add two blocks here and then one block there   then we’re gonna place in a stair here stair here  a stair there and a stair there and finally a  

Stair just there just to add a bit of shape and of  course we’re gonna go ahead and just texture this   with a few different blocks so we’re going to use  our mossy stone bricks we’ll add some normal stone and then finally a little bit of andesite

Just like so now coming up above here we’re gonna  break this one here where the beam is and this   one here and again we’re gonna bring stone bricks  all the way up till we are two blocks from the top  

Then we’ll place one to the side we’ll  put in a stone brick here a stone brick   here and then we’re going to break that  one just there and put in a stone brick   then up here right above break these two blocks  here which are gonna be basically exactly where  

This would extend to which would be these  two so we’re gonna place two stone bricks   here and we’re gonna go one two three and  four place two on the side here for a second   two upside down stairs break these  two and then two upside down stairs  

Then we’re just going to place our campfires on  the top here and surround it with some trapdoors on the very top we’re going to just place a  couple of andesite wool and again as we come   down we’re just going to texture a couple  of these up with some of our other blocks

Just like so now we’re going to add a couple of  supports for our little shelter here so place   some fences coming all the way down to the  ground on the corner we’ll do the same on  

This corner join our fences all the way across  here and then all the way down to this side here   just to make a little sheltered area where  you might hot put some of your goods or hay  

Or some barrels and stuff like that next we’re  going gonna add a few little supports so we’re   gonna place a single little stripped  dark oak log along with a stair on top around to the side here and just pretty much  following the same pan all the way around  

At the corner here we’re not gonna bring it  into the corner we’re just going to finish it   on the side here so just like this making sure  we’re facing into the pillar like so now let’s go  

Ahead and add a few little lanterns just to give  us a little bit of extra light we’ll place one   underneath here one underneath here we’re gonna  need one underneath here because it’s gonna be   pretty dark otherwise so we’ll add a chain roughly  around the center with a lantern just underneath  

While i’m here i’m gonna go ahead and i’m  gonna get these slabs and what we’re gonna   do is we’re gonna just put them across the edge  here so we have that smooth a little transition   there and then all the way across here just  so we have a nicer finish underneath here  

Underneath this edge here we’ll do exactly the  same thing just placing three inside there like so now i like to add some little lights on the  corner so i like to come just in one place a  

Chain and then a lantern do the same again over  here so we’ll place a chain and then a lantern   again over here we’ll place a chain   and then we’ll put in a lantern okay so it just  adds a nice little bit of lighting around the area  

Around the back we’re gonna go ahead and do  some similar things we’re gonna start by adding   some spruce fences in the corners of these two and  make sure you also get this one here on this side

Then we’re going to go ahead and for this side  here we’re going to put in a chain right about   we ain’t going to actually be able to get one  on that side so we have to just come to here   place a chain and a lantern

Next we’re going to add a few leaves just to add  a little bit of detail so you could drape a couple   down here bring a couple over maybe something  along these lines you can um bring one there maybe  

Even droop a couple down at the center  one more there do the same over here something like that it might look a  little bit off like that actually let’s do something like that   there we go that’s looking good we can add a  little bush just underneath the window ledge there

I’m gonna be keeping the texture in very  simple so for the upper level i’m going   to add just a couple of diorite and some  calcite again the diorite is going to be   just a couple on each also very few that  are going to be scattered in between  

For the stone below we’re going to be using stone  bricks and some andesite again just scattering a   few amongst all of the blocks and then finally for  the roof we’re going to be using some deep slate  

Bricks these are going to be just scattered in a  few in between so we’re going to be using stairs   slabs and the four blocks again just  add in a few of them not too many now that we’ve finished the exterior let’s  go ahead and do the interior the interior is  

Going to be based along my survival base  so let’s go ahead and get this finished
