5 Simple ONE CHUNK Minecraft House Designs

Hello my name is green and welcome back to another minecraft video today i’m going to be showing you a bunch of house designs that fit inside one chunk for those of you that don’t know what one chunk is it’s basically a 16 by 16 area

Which it looks kind of small but you can fit a substantial amount of house inside here so let’s just dive straight into it shall we the first one is i don’t know what the theme would be survival wooden house you know it’s like a log cabin and this is a real favorite

Of mine for this because of its simplicity and what i’m going to do is basically just go over some of the design features of it and then give you a few of the dimensions in case you want to copy it these builds are relatively small they’re not absolutely miniature but at

The same time if you actually go inside there’s not an awful lot of space so i would definitely mark these in the small category so this is definitely achievable as a starter base it’s basically entirely made out of wood with a little bit of cobblestone thrown in there definitely

Achievable in your first few days of minecraft so what we’ve got here is one big feature balcony so the whole house is actually sitting on two blocks of logs which raises it off the ground and then it’s got a bit of cobblestone underneath this is pretty much the most

Important part of this build the house would still of course work if you placed it down a couple of blocks but it would lose some of its charm i think so the first thing you would need to do if you’re going to make this is make

This balcony and if you wanted to copy this exactly that is nine blocks and from here to here it’s five from here to here it’s five and of course the whole thing is twelve so hopefully that gives you a little bit of the dimensions if you wanted to work

Out how to make this so the roof is held up by a bunch of fences and it goes up half a block at a time where it meets in the middle with a spruce staircase and works its way to the back the back is just a simple log framework with a

Couple of trapdoors as decoration and a couple of glass panes in between it’s just a repeated pattern it should be fairly easy to copy down on the side here we’ve got a large chimney that makes its way through the house and it’s got some very minor detailing and we’ve

Got a couple of slabs and cobblestone walls to make that look a bit more rustic and then on the front here we’ve got a nice dormer that goes over the top in an a shape with a couple of glass panes in between the three woods used

Are oak spruce and even a little bit of dark oak planks but of course you can just mix these up with whatever’s available and whatever you like the most the only other detailing is that there are some spruce stairs here instead of full block and a couple of trap doors on

The inside it’s kind of up to you it’s a very small space in here but there’s enough for a few chests and a bit of decoration if you want so overall a very simple design but pretty elegant at the same time let’s move on to the next one which is a medieval build

Now this one is a little more daunting but it’s actually not as bad as it seems if you take it step by step so let’s take a look at this house in a bit more detail ignoring all of the vegetation around and ignoring this little detail at the front what we’ve

Got is a three-part build so if you separate this build into three parts you have the cobblestone layer i like to call it this is a foundation made of rocks and then you have the living quarters which is surrounded by a log framework usually and it’s mixed in with

Some kind of white block usually wool or white concrete or something i’ve used white concrete powder because i think it looks a bit more clean and then the roof at the top which tends to be this sort of bell-shaped roof instead of the typical a-frame over there so it actually goes up with

Staircases and then makes its way up to the top a little bit more steep and we got a couple of dormers here with again this bell shape over the top so let’s take this a little bit more step by step so what we’ve got here from corner to corner is

13 blocks and they are in three so you have framework three blocks framework three blocks framework three blocks and then on the side we’ve got framework two framework two framework two and then the same on the back we then take our framework block which is the oak and

Then we make a slightly larger frame over the top and the key part of this is the overhang over this part here so wherever you’ve got a framework you just pop a oak block out the front here you can even detail it with a button connect

Them up and then you repeat the pattern but a little bit taller with some windows and with some white concrete it’s actually fairly simple once you’ve got one pattern all you need to nail is one of them and then you can repeat it as long as you want the build and then

Over this side again there’s some extra details you can add like these flower pots but the difficult thing about this build is the roof it’s a little bit more challenging so what i’ve done is just continued the framework up to the top here and built this across and added a

Bit more spruce in between but to get this shape you start off with the staircases going up when you get about a quarter of the way then you want to start heading upwards so you go for a full block then a staircase then a full block that

Is decades then you should meet in the middle and you can do a bit of decoration on the top then all you do is follow that with a different colored block so i’ve used spruce here and the trim is made out of stone bricks having a trim on a build

Makes the roof stand out a bit more that goes for pretty much all of the builds that i’m going to show you can see the trim around the edge it’s really important and the color that you choose or the block that you choose will kind of tell you

What style you’re going for so stone brick really works well on a medieval build so you then fill in all that and then you can add some optional dormers here on the front it’s just a small framework and then the bell roof over the top and i’ve added a chimney here as

Well detailed with cobblestone walls and slabs so that goes over most of that but on the front here i’ve actually added an extra thing because i thought it looked a little bit rectangular and i had a big space in this chunk i know this house

Looks massive but it does fit in a 16 by 16 space even if it does hang over the very limits of this chunk so this area here is basically just a pig pen or an animal pen and it’s very simple it’s just a oak framework and then it’s got a

Stone brick slab roof that just goes steadily down and then it’s got that in the front and then that actually really accompanies the build very very well so that is the medieval house i don’t think i’ve ever actually done a tutorial on my channel for medieval homes so

I actually probably could fill a gap if you guys want to see this in a bit more detail so if you wanted a few more dimensions very quickly that one goes up to five from this point to here is 10. across here is 7 and across here is 13 and across here

Is 17. so if you work all those out you should manage to make that fairly easily moving on we’ve got the modern design now i’ve done plenty of modern houses and i’ve even done a video on how to make your own modern house but i will go over the basic principles behind it

Making a modern house is a little bit like putting jenga or tetris together wrong okay so you’ve got different parts of the build you’ve basically got big blocks such as this big white chunk here you’ve got this big gray one here and then you’ve got some here as well so the

Basic idea is that there’s no curvature in this build it’s all straight lines it’s very brutalist and they all end up at different y coordinates and they’re all over set from each other so this one’s one block back this build would not look good if it was

All completely flat so you’ve got to make sure that they’re separated by a few blocks in between and they kind of overlap each other round the side here we’ve got a very typical modern design shape which it sort of starts off flat it does like a

Reverse s shape this is quite a common thing to do but i’ve also added a balcony here and one thing that’s really good to use with modern houses white concrete and then an oak of some kind so a dark oak spruce uh tend to work really really well in

This situation because it just complements and contrasts really well these colors are really quite essential for the modern design to work then at the back we’ve got another cube here you can see how all of these boxes just overlap with each other and somehow it just works that’s a very very

Modernist design and then you can add some extra bits in here i’ve added some quartz slabs just going all the way down plenty of windows but don’t overdo the windows you can see i’ve only added one strip here and one strip here it’s better to have a balcony with an

Open space rather than a big big window you can then create artificial lawns by mixing in green concrete and grass or lime concrete in here to make it look like you’ve used a mower going backwards and forwards to make it seem like it’s actually maintained on the inside

There’s quite a lot of space actually considering we’re only in a 16 by 16 space you could fit quite a lot in here because although it looks from the outside that they all have their own interior walls it is completely hollow on the inside i just realized i never showed you the

Inside of this one either so yeah this one’s not that exciting it’s basically just a big rectangular box and as you can see it’s not as big on the inside as it looks like it should be from the outside so it’s a very deceptively small house despite looking

Quite large so let’s move on shall we to the suburban house another favorite on the green channel i’ve done quite a few of these so the same principles applied to this one as some of the others that we’ve already seen for example you’ll notice that we’ve already got a trim in

The suburban house genre using quartz is a really good idea because if you look at real life houses they tend to have like that white plastic trim and this is very reminiscent of that so quartz although very expensive and difficult to obtain it really really works with suburban

Houses and along with stone brick which looks a bit more like slate and a more realistic thing so the chimney this time is made out of bricks and it is just a very simple square that goes all the top because you don’t want to have uh for example the cobblestone one where it

Looks all higgledy piggledy it it would pretty much be intact so that’s what i’ve gone for there the block choice on this one is smooth sandstone which has only arrived very recently and is a fantastic block because it’s just so smooth and it really does represent suburban houses quite well

So let’s talk about the shape a little bit the key to a suburban house is a couple of these a-frame shapes you could do one here then maybe another it would be very easy so you need to overlap them similar to the modern house design but you overlap them

Ever so slightly and you use multiple a-frames here but the key is to not have them all facing the same way some of them should be facing this way so by mixing the two together you can usually get a fairly good shape and then you add your windows in with minor

Detailing on a suburban house less is more because if you look at suburban houses they don’t tend to have all of the details that we put in the medieval one i think maybe that’s why people do like medieval houses because you can put a lot more detail into them

But there’s something very charming about suburban houses and they tend to have things like garages which makes it look more realistic so i’ll give a quick look around this house and then i’ll give you some dimensions if you want to copy this down so from here to here is

Six blocks but to be honest with you trying to copy something like this block for block is probably not the best way to learn how to make it what i would suggest you do is take the tips that i’ve given you and try and build your own shape using

Maybe the same block palette and see what you can come up with and try and highlight why yours looks very different to mine or maybe it looks very similar and you’ve nailed it so yeah that’s the suburban house let’s take a look inside it is very small in

Here but again these houses are on the small side so let’s move on to the last one which is a tree house you can see i’ve tried to go for some fan favorites on showing these designs so the last one is a tree house now this

Tree is custom made it is not a minecraft tree because making a treehouse in a minecraft tree is pretty difficult given the size and i want to use the uh the full size of the chunk if possible these guys just follow me absolutely everywhere yeah i’m looking at you

So what i started off by doing was making the tree first that is the absolute key to making a tree house especially a custom-made one so this is what it looks like without any of the leaves so you can see that i’ve built up the tree first and then i added the

House around it doing the leaves first and then trying to add in the house afterwards is a really bad way round of doing it but once you’ve got the tree then you add the house you can then spam the leaves and the key to making a tree look a bit

More realistic is not having them end up being very flat and square so that doesn’t look very good but if you remove some of these and have some of them like floating in the air almost attached at a diagonal it looks a lot more realistic it looks like the leaves have really

Spread everywhere so it needs to look very messy an organized mess is how i would describe it and with leaves you can really kind of go to town on it i’ve also got some leaves hanging down for effect and for the house itself it is actually a very very simple box house

There’s not an awful lot of skill that’s gone into this the size is five blocks by six blocks and there’s really not a lot of space inside this one at all the only thing that’s sort of unique about this is this platform here so that’s the main thing if you’re making a treehouse

You want to make a platform first using usually a slab of some kind and then you can make almost like a cookie or a sandwich or an oreo or some kind and then you add the spruce slabs over the top and then you support it using oak

Fence and then you add the house in the middle but this actually has a roof you can’t really see it because of the tree but there is a roof in there as well but like i said this house in the middle is actually pretty simple there’s really not a lot

To it there might be a bit of oak mixed in there but for the most part this is a very very bog standard house the main thing is that it’s in a tree and it’s in the platform sandwich i guess we would call it and it’s all tucked in there

Nicely and i think it actually looks really really cool obviously you can go big with the tree you could add multiple layers so you could add one here and then another up here it’s totally flexible and you can really really get some creativity flowing out of it so

Those are my five one chunk house designs that i wanted to show you today hopefully some of these have inspired you and maybe you want to recreate some of them so hopefully i’ve given you enough information that you would be able to do that so thank you very much

For watching everyone i hope you enjoyed this video and please please please let me know which one was your favorite and like i said i’ve not done a medieval house tutorial i quite enjoyed this it was actually a challenge i struggled to make this but i think this one’s probably my favorite

Second favorite third fourth fifth what was your favorite and let me know if you want to see more one chunk build inspiration thank you very much for watching and good bye you
