Minecraft: How to Build a Mountain House [Tutorial] 2020

Hi everyone! and welcome back to another build  tutorial i’m Spudetti and in this video i’m going   to be showing you how to build a mountain house in  minecraft as always i’ve tried to make this house  

Practical but also nice to look at using materials  that are easy to get hold of in survival if you’d   like to make this exact build i’ll leave the seed  and the location in the description box below  

It’s the same seed that i’ve used for all of my  other builds if you’ve already created the world   i really hope that you enjoy this video don’t  forget to leave a like and consider subscribing   if you’re new here i also really appreciate  receiving any feedback that you have about  

The builds or my videos or any requests that you  have to start i’m going to mark out the location   of the window on the side of the mountain  using spruce slabs i’ll be following the   natural shape of the land here so that it fits  in better the top part of the window follows  

The same shape as the bottom but goes up by  one block each time apart from in the middle   the easiest way for you to do this is by following  the graphic that was shown just before this clip  

To get the shape right it doesn’t have to be in  the exact same spot on the mountain as we’ll be   terraforming around this anyway i’m now going  to clear out some space inside so that we have  

Room to build don’t worry if you break through  the sides of the mountain we’ll fix this later   if any parts of the window are floating place  stone underneath so that it fits into the mountain   nicely the same goes for any areas that are  sticking out with nothing surrounding them  

Do your best to build around these with stone and  add grass on top the best way to do this is by   trying to make it look as random as possible so  that it blends in with the rest of the mountain  

Don’t worry if you don’t get it perfect  straight away we’ll be coming back to this   a couple of times throughout the video  to make sure that everything is covered   a trick to making it look better is by having  the ground slope upwards around the top of the  

Window and hang downwards slightly around the  bottom this way it looks like it is supported   by the mountain and has a more natural feel  to it compared to if it was all straight   we will now clear out the inside so that we can  start constructing the interior of the build  

You will need to dig out nine blocks away from  the edges of the window on both sides and all   of the area in between this will probably be the  most time-consuming part of the whole build but   once it’s done you can reuse the blocks for  terraforming around the outside of the window  

If you haven’t already check out my instagram  for extra small builds and tutorials that i   put out while i’m working on a video if you’d  like to see more content from me you can also   find all of the finished shots of my builds  on there the link is down in the description  

Box below if you’d like to have a look we’re  now going to move on to building the entrance   and exit of the house so that it’ll be easier  for you to get in and out while you’re building  

Dig out two blocks one block away from the outline  of the window and leave a one block gap in between   after this dig down around 15 blocks or until  you reach the ground at the base of the mountain   you can dig forwards a few at  the bottom to check where you are  

If you’re happy with how far you’ve dug go back  up to the top and dig down again in the other hole   it might be best to use scaffolding  here if you’re building this in survival   dig forwards again to connect to the area that  you just dug out to we can now start building  

The entry and exit of the mountain house clear  out a bit more space so that you have two blocks   showing next to the holes that you have just dug  on both sides and then remove the blocks in the  

Ceiling so that the room is three blocks high we  can now start decorating the room in between and   next to the holes that you dug place columns of  strip spruce logs as shown next to the columns at  

The sides place oak planks and then another column  of oak planks one block diagonally out from these   to finish off the walls add a final two columns  of strip spruce logs one block diagonally out   from the oak planks that you have just placed  if there’s anything in the way of where you’re  

Trying to build just remove it we’ll also be  doing a bit of terraforming around here too   on top of the spruce columns place spruce planks  with spruce slabs pointing outwards on both sides   then add some spruce stairs facing inwards  and create two blocks using spruce slabs in  

Front of these to create an arch add some  spruce planks behind these to fill in the   gap and then cover the areas that are showing  with stone and dirt so that it blends in more  

Follow the shape of the land again here to make  it look natural fill in the rest of the ceiling   with spruce planks including the bits in between  the columns make sure not to cover up the holes  

Though add some lanterns or torches for light and  then fill in the floor with stone bricks when you   get to the front bring the stone bricks out so  that they meet together in a square as shown after  

This terraform the outside of the entry with dirt  to cover up any stone bricks that are showing and   to also make the ground flatter and easier for you  to walk on while trying to keep it looking natural  

You don’t need grass blocks for this if you just  use dirt the grass will spread over them over time   add some spruce fences and fence gates to the  entry so no mobs can wander inside we will now  

Work on the water elevators place spruce signs on  the column that is in between of the holes that   you dug so that the water doesn’t flow out into  the room you can also use them to label the holes  

Like i have done place a dirt block at the bottom  of each hole so that we can place kelp on there   then go back up to the top and add water  into the hole again it would be a good   idea to use scaffolding if you’re in  survival travel down the water to the  

Bottom and then place kelp going all the way  up and remove them to create source blocks   do this again on the other side keep an eye on  your air though if you’re doing this in survival  

Finally add a magma block on one side and soul  sand on the other to create the water elevators   soul sand goes up and magma comes down you’ll know  if they’re working if you see bubbles in the water   next to the outline of the window  place spruce planks in the floor  

This is where the glass will go fill in  the window with light gray stained glass   follow the shape of the window here so that it  comes up in the middle and goes down at the sides  

Make sure to fill in any gaps in the ceiling as  you’re going along so that none are left behind   you can miss out the one block of glass at either  side of the window as this won’t be seen add some  

Spruce planks on top of the light gray stained  glass that reach up to the ceiling we want that to   be two blocks above the tallest parts of the glass  in the middle so you may have to raise the ceiling  

A bit to do this if you’re enjoying the video so  far i’d be really grateful if you could leave a   like and consider subscribing if you haven’t  already if you have then hit the notification  

Bell so that you never miss a new video carry on  adding spruce planks above the glass to make sure   that you’ve got the height correct we’ll come back  to this later on in the video to finish it off  

We’ll now move on to designing the walls floors  and ceiling of the house in line with the spruce   planks at the end of the window place a strip  spruce column going up by five blocks fill in  

The space one block back from this with oak planks  going five blocks across and up add another spruce   column at the other side and then place spruce  stairs going across the top row of oak planks  

After this add dark oak stairs going above these  all the way across fill in the area above the   wall with stone or dirt as this won’t be seen then  create a sloping ceiling using dark oak planks and  

Slabs until you reach the top if you follow the  graphic and dug nine blocks away from the window   then you won’t have to remove this extra layer of  wall like i am here the first section of wall here  

Will have a gap of three blocks in between each  of the strip’s spruce columns as the ceiling is   sloped add a row of spruce planks at the top and  spruce stairs below these so that they fit better  

Then fill in the rest of the wall with oak planks  and add some more spruce stairs at the bottom   the next section of wall will have a gap of six  blocks in between the columns fill this in with  

Oak planks and add spruce stairs at the top don’t  worry if you’ve gone through to the other side   of the mountain we’ll fix this later the final  section will have a gap of three blocks in between  

And we’ll have spruce stairs at the top and bottom  now repeat all of these steps on the other side of   the room starting with the wall with the five  block gap and going up by five blocks again if  

You’ve broken through the mountain here just fill  it in with stone or dirt and we’ll fix it later   do the sloped roof again here using dark oak  planks and slabs the exact same as we did on  

The other side of the room this is just to add  more detail to the build and to follow the shape   of the window as it slopes upwards so we have a  smoother gradient from the wall to the ceiling  

We will now do the rest of the wall this is  exactly the same as you did on the other side of   the room so you can just copy what you’ve already  built if you’ve ever built anything from my  

Tutorials in your minecraft world or i’ve inspired  you to build something tweet me your pictures   the link for my twitter can be found in the  description box below i’d really love to see   what you’ve all built carry on building the last  bit of wall and then we can go outside and cover  

Up the parts that stick through at the back place  stone to cover up any part of the build that is   showing through the wall make it look as if it  is hanging down slightly so that it blends in  

One block back from the strip spruce column  at the ends of the wall place oak planks   you can add some more stone to the floor here  to make it easier to build the back window  

Remove any stone or dirt that is next to the oak  planks as this will block the view from the window   do the same on the other side and then mark out  where the window will be using spruce planks  

This is also shown on the graphic at the start  of the video if you’d like to refer back to that   after you’ve done this go back outside and tidy  up the area underneath the blocks that you’ve just  

Placed so that it looks natural make the window  look supported by placing the stone to make it   look like it is hanging downwards as shown you  can also remove any harsh lines so that it looks   more natural go back inside and add some spruce  stairs around the bottom of the window space  

Then count three blocks up and place an upside  down spruce stair on the spruce column with a   spruce slab on top add a spruce plank next to  this and another made out of spruce slabs half  

A block up one block diagonally from this repeat  all of these steps going back down to the other   side to make a small archway with two blocks in  the center add some more oak planks behind the   spruce blocks that you’ve just placed and then  add the light gray stained glass to the window  

The glass will be placed on top of the spruce  planks that we put down to mark out the window and   will go up by five blocks like i said at the start  the seed for this world will be in the description  

If you want to build this yourself add some spruce  planks on top of the glass that you’ve just placed   and then add some stone around the window so  that it all fits in nicely with the mountain  

Make sure that no areas of the build can be  seen through the walls apart from the window   go back inside and add the last layer of glass  and we can carry on with the rest of the interior   add some upside down spruce stairs going  around the walls at the top of the window  

To finish it off at the top of the main window  at the front add dark oak planks in between   the spruce planks that we placed above the glass  earlier going all the way across to the other side  

Then add some dark oak slabs in between the planks  that you’ve just placed to bring it all together   if there’s any gaps fill them in with  spruce or dark oak to finish it off   after you’ve done that replace the  whole of the ceiling with spruce planks  

If there’s anything else that you’d like me to do  a tutorial for then let me know in the comments   i’ve been making a list of all of your great  suggestions and i’ll do them in future videos  

To finish the sealing off add a border of dark  oak slabs in line with the ones that you placed   on the sloped roof earlier we’ll now move on to  the floor design which i’ve kept fairly simple  

In front of the main window add a border of spruce  stairs the same as we did for the back window   add spruce planks where the water elevators  are and you can add signs to label these again   to start building the rest of the floor  dig out a border around the whole room  

In the gaps in the walls where there’s no spruce  stairs dig here too be careful when you dig near   the water as it will all flow out once you have  done this add oak planks to the border going  

Around the whole of the room then clear out the  rest of the floor and replace it with birch planks   i’ve chosen to use birch for the floor here  as there is a view of a birch forest out of  

The back window so it fits in well we can now move  on to the main interior decorations i’ve tried to   include all the things you’d need for your house  without it being too full or resource intensive  

On the far right wall add some spruce slabs  between the columns and place some furnaces on top   add an anvil and a stone cutter next to these  and then add some more spruce slabs with spruce   trap doors going across the top i’ve then added  a lantern and a flower pot for decoration and  

Lighting on the wall next to this add spruce slabs  between the columns again add a crafting table   smithing table and a brewing stand on top add some  spruce slabs above these and then decorate using   a lantern and a flower pot again you can also  add a small painting underneath using temporary  

Blocks to get the right one if you’d prefer to use  torches instead of lanterns then that’s fine too   for the middle section place four rows of  three double chests on top of each other   you can make these go higher but you’d have  to add ladders to be able to reach them  

Above the top row add spruce slabs  and stairs as shown to create a shelf   as you can see you can still open all of the  chests as they don’t have full blocks above them   on the shelf that we made add a couple of  barrels for decoration you can then replace  

The corner stairs with planks and hang some  lanterns or you can just place torches on the   columns if you’d prefer for the final section  add spruce slabs between the columns again   on top of the slabs place an ender chest  with some armor stands on either side  

You can also add an item frame this is where  you could place your best armor and tools   place some more spruce slabs above and decorate  them using a lantern a flower pot and a painting   i’ve used temporary blocks again  to get the painting that i want  

I’ve then added little tables using upside down  spruce stairs and added lanterns on top for a bit   of extra lighting and detail we are now going to  build a raised platform for the bed to go on three  

Blocks away from the spruce columns in the wall  add another two columns going up by four blocks   on the top half of the third block add spruce  slabs going between all of the columns and   sticking out at the sides at the right hand  side add another column in the middle this  

Time three blocks high with the third block being  stripped spruce wood then fill in the rest of the   platform with spruce slabs and we can move on  to decorating it add spruce fences with spruce   fence gates in between the columns to create a  barrier around the platform so you don’t fall off  

Add a ladder on the middle column at  the side so that you can get up and down   replace a couple of the stairs with planks again  so you can hang some lanterns up for the bed place  

Some spruce planks with stairs either side and  slabs on top then add some slabs in front of the   stairs and place a couple of beds in the middle  you can then decorate by adding a painting using  

Temporary blocks to get the right one again and  by adding some bushes by using a flower pot a   dead bush and a leaf block finally add a spruce  slab on top of the columns to finish it off  

Underneath the platform replace the birch planks  with oak in this section to add a bit of contrast   we’ll be adding an enchanting area here in  the corner add some oak planks as this won’t   be seen and then add bookshelves on the  back and left hand side with two extra to  

Get the level 30 enchantments add an enchanting  table a grindstone and a chest to finish it off   you can then add a couple of lanterns  on either side for some extra light   finally as there is not much room left at the  side we’ll just add a small desk for decoration  

Place spruce stairs as shown with a  spruce slab in the middle to create a desk   then add a spruce slab with  a trapdoor to make a chair   above the desk place upside down spruce stairs  with trap doors on either side to make a shelf  

Decorate the shelf with a lantern and a flower  pot or just add a torch you can also add a lantern   to the wall section next to this finish the  desk off by adding a small painting for detail  

Then add oak trapdoors on the bookshelves behind  this to cover them up and make it look tidier   the final bit of interior decoration  that we’ll be adding is a rug to fill   in the empty floor space and so that we  can hide some lighting underneath as well  

Remove any torches you’ve placed and dig out  a random pattern in the floor and fill it in   with wool i’ve made it quite big so that  we can hide a lot of lighting underneath  

The wool can be any colour you like as i know that  brown dye can be hard to get hold of in survival   surround the wool that you just  placed with carpets of the same colour   after you know where the carpets  will be placed you can add torches  

Underneath for extra lighting so no  mobs will be spawning in your house   you can do this all the way around the rug and  even in the middle if you add some extra carpets   you can do a quick check around the house  before you finish to make sure that the  

Light level is above level a everywhere  by pressing f3 if you’re playing on java   and that is the interior of the house  finished we’re now going to complete   the build by finishing off the terraforming on  the outside of the mountain around the window  

Make sure that no blocks are showing through and  that everything looks natural by using stone and   dirt blocks to cover it all up thank you so  much for watching i really hope that you’ve   enjoyed this video don’t forget to leave a like  and consider subscribing if you’re new here
