Minecraft: How to Build an Underground House [Easy Tutorial] 2020

Hi everyone and welcome to another build tutorial  in this video i’m going to show you how to build   an underground house which would make the perfect  starter base in your minecraft survival world   this house contains areas for crafting and  smelting a nether portal an enchanting area  

A bedroom and room for storage this build is  perfect for beginners who want to improve their   skills or even for people who would prefer to have  a small underground house compared to a large base   i really hope that you enjoy this video don’t  forget to leave a like and consider subscribing  

If you haven’t already to see more content  like this we will begin by marking out the   circle that will make up the main shape of  the build in the ground using spruce planks   this will be six blocks long on the sides joined  together with four sets of two blocks as shown  

After you’ve marked out the circle place  spruce slabs on top going all the way   around to add some depth to the build then  join each of the sides together in a cross   shape starting one block in going into the  middle and then across to the side as shown  

We will do this four times to create a cross that  has a two block gap in between each of the sides   now add spruce slabs on top of this to  finish off the main outline of the build  

Once you have done this we need to remove  seven layers of the ground inside and directly   underneath the border of the circle make sure  that you remove the ground underneath the spruce   planks that we placed for the circle outline  underneath the spruce planks that should now  

Be visible from underneath place spruce slabs  going all the way around the circle missing out   the parts where the cross meets the sides of the  circle this is to create a frame for the glass  

That’s going to make up the ceiling of the build  to add more depth so that it isn’t completely flat   after this add two columns of strip  dark oak logs on each side of the circle   placed one block in front of the  outline of spruce planks as shown  

If you’ve dug everything out correctly the  columns should be six blocks high in total   build these columns three more times so that each  side of the circle has supports this makes the   build feel more realistic and also adds that extra  bit of detail to it for the wall design inside the  

House remove a layer of dirt and replace with a  border of dark oak planks along the top and the   bottom with spruce planks in the middle add a  column of strip dark oak locks in the middle of  

The wall section to add more detail and to look  like it’s also providing support to the build   make sure that the walls follow the same shape  as the circle but are set back by one block   fill in the gap behind the column  from earlier with the same wall design  

Now repeat this design for the  other three remaining wall sections   once you’ve done the wall section remember  to fill in the gap behind the column and   also carry on the wall going between them make  sure to leave one of these sections between  

The columns empty though as we’ll be building  the entry and exit to the house in one of them   let me know in the comments section below  if you’re going to build this in your own   minecraft world or if there’s anything else that  you’d like to see me build in a future video  

In the gap between the columns that we left out  mark out where the staircase will go that will   lead in and out of the house after this dig out  a two block wide section in the floor joining the  

Gap in between the columns together to create a  cross once you’ve dug out the cross in the floor   add glowstone or another light block of choice in  between the columns with spruce stairs in front   then fill in the cross with spruce slabs skipping  out the middle section and one block out from that  

On all sides the column opposite the staircase  does not need glowstone as that’s where the   portal will be fill in the middle of the cross  with dark oak planks and then smooth out the   corners next to the spruce slabs to create  a rounded border now remove the ground in  

The sections that we have left and replace with  oak planks with a border of oak stairs as shown   all of the remaining sections will have the same  floor design and away each of our rooms will be  

Going so do this for the other three sections  to finish off the floor if you’d like to see   more builds and tutorials from me head over to  my instagram where i post the finished shots of  

All of my builds as well as other small builds and  tutorials to help give you more build inspiration   the link can be found in the description  box below if you’d like to have a look   finish off the final section of the floor and  we can move on to building the staircase so you  

Can easily get in and out of the house where we  marked out the staircase earlier we’re going to   build up by four sets of spruce stairs then add  a two by two section of spruce planks at the top  

After this build two more four block high  staircases to the left and right of this   leading up to the surface i’ve chosen to  make the staircase turn here so that it   takes up a bit less room compared to if it  was a straight line going into the house  

Once you’ve built the stairs add stripped dark  oak logs in the corners and at the bottom and top   of the two side staircases coming up one block  above the surface as shown this is to add more  

Structure to the stairs and so that we’ll also  be able to build a railing around the top of the   staircase on the surface so that you won’t fall  down there once you’ve built all of the columns  

Add a dark oak slab on top to finish them off and  then we’ll decorate the walls around the staircase replace the ground in between each  of the columns at the surface with   spruce planks to create a border  that goes around the staircase  

After this dig out the section of wall in the  middle and replace the spruce planks with upside   down spruce stairs so that there’s a nicer  transition here then add spruce planks to the   floor and the walls and place a couple of grass  blocks to create a planter for some decoration  

Here place some dark oak slabs at the top and  add some spruce trap doors to finish it off   for the walls at the sides add dark oak planks  next to the stairs to create a border with a   spruce plank in the remaining block then repeat  this on the opposite side of the staircase  

After you’ve done the walls at the sides remove  the ground next to the staircase leading into the   house and add dark oak planks next to the stairs  again with spruce above and another dark oak plank  

At the top as this is the border from the main  room finally add some upside down spruce stairs   at the top to finish off the staircase we will  now add the glass into the ceiling of the build  

Fill in each of the sections and the cross  with glass placed on the same level as the   spruce planks that we placed at the start  of the build i’ve just used normal glass   blocks here but feel free to use stained glass  blocks if you want something a little different  

On the inside of the house create arches  starting one block below the top of the   columns and going across the line of spruce planks  in the ceiling build the arches using spruce slabs   to create full blocks that go up or down by half  a block each time with two blocks in the middle  

If built correctly there should be a block  missing at the corner where the two arches meet   we’ll fill this in later now repeat the  arch designs for the other three sections   they’ll all be the same as what you’ve just built  so you can copy the pattern from there be sure

Finish off the final section of arches and then we  can move on to adding the lighting in the center   of the build in the corners where the block is  missing build down by two blocks using spruce   planks do this on all sides then join them  together across the bottom block going all  

The way around to create a square after this  remove the corner blocks again and replace   them with glowstone or another light block  of choice as these won’t be visible then add   some spruce trap doors to finish it off although  the glowstone is covered by trapdoors the light  

Is still able to pass through making for great  hidden lighting add some stacked chests above the   glowstone that we placed in between the columns  on the left and right hand sides of the build   then add a dark oak slab above for some extra  detail in the remaining gap in between the  

Columns that’s directly opposite the staircase  build a nether portal that fills the whole space   alternatively if you don’t want a portal inside  your house you can just add some more chests here   light the portal using a flint and steel and then  cover up the top section using spruce stairs then  

Go around to the sides and add three spruce trap  doors to cover up the top half of the portal here   we’ll cover up the bottom half later finally  add a couple of spruce fence gates in front of  

The portal to stop anything from walking  out of it in the section to the right of   the doorway we’ll build the enchanting area add  some lanterns on either side of the column and   then place bookshelves as shown to get the level  30 enchantments the ones i’ve added at the top  

Are just for decoration so you don’t have to add  these if you don’t want to add some dark oak slabs   on top of the bookshelves for some extra detail  and then add the enchanting table in the middle  

In the gap next to the columns add a cauldron  with some leaves on top to create a bush and add   a grindstone to finish it off we will now move on  to the area next to this which will be the bedroom  

Add lanterns on either side of the column again  and then count three blocks away from it and   build a three block high column using strip dark  oak logs with a dark oak slab on top then place  

Dark oak planks in the pattern shown to create the  platform for the bed to go on and fill the gaps in   with dark oak stairs next to the columns add some  dark oak stairs with a plank in the middle and add  

A slab on top to create the headboard finally  add a bed to finish it off in the space next to   the bed build a shelf using a dark oak slab and  stairs and add an armor stand and an ender chest  

Then add the two bushes next to the columns  again using a cauldron and two leaf blocks   we can now move on to building the crafting  and smelting areas in the remaining sections   add lanterns at the top again and then build a  shelf coming out from the column and going across  

The wall using dark oak slabs next to this build  two three block high columns using strip spruce   logs and add a dark oak slab on top of them then  add some barrels for extra decoration and storage  

Next to the middle column with a crafting table  a smithing table an anvil and a brewing stand   on the shelves to finish it off finally add the  two bushes again to complete the crafting area   as you can see the bush hid the part  of the portal that was still showing  

The last part that we have left to build is the  smelting area add the two lanterns at the top and   build the same shelf that we built in the crafting  area using dark oak slabs and strip spruce logs  

After this add some barrels in the middle again  and then place two furnaces on either side with a   smoker and a blast furnace finally add the bushes  and that is the whole of the interior completed i  

Really hope that you’ve liked this design but feel  free to change anything to make it suit you better   for some finishing touches on the staircase  you can add some flowers to the planter and a   couple of torches to light it up now go outside  and add leaf blocks around the entire circle to  

Add some extra decoration to the outside and  to make it feel a bit more natural if you   prefer the underground house without the leaves  around it then feel free to miss this step out   finally add some dark oak slabs in between  the columns that are sticking up around the  

Staircase to create a barrier so that you  don’t fall down you can then use some bone   meal on the grass around the outside of the  house to add some flowers as a finishing touch   and that is the entire underground house completed  i really hope that you’ve enjoyed this video and
