Spudetti – Minecraft: How to Build a Cosy Log Cabin [Easy Tutorial] 2020

Hi everyone and welcome to another build tutorial. As it’s christmas time, I’ve decided to build a   cozy log cabin in a snowy biome to  fit in with the Christmas theme. I’ve built both the exterior and the interior in   this tutorial so you won’t have to  watch two separate videos for them.

As always, I’ve tried to use  materials that are easy to get   hold of in survival and kept it fairly  simple so you can follow along with me. I really hope that you enjoy this video. Don’t  forget to leave any feedback that you have  

In the comments section below and if you’re  new here please consider subscribing,   I really appreciate everyone’s support. To start, I’ve laid out the floor plan  of the house so it’s easier for you   to see where to place the blocks and the  spacing in between while I’m building it.

The first thing we will do is to place the oak log   columns that will mark out each of  the wall sections around the house. We will be placing the oak logs on the  blocks marked out in orange on the floor   plan. They will be 6 blocks  high all the way around,  

Apart from at the very front of the build  and the middle section at the front. At the middle section, we are going to place  two oak log columns that are 5 blocks high.   This is where the doorway will be.

For the remaining spaces at the front,  place two oak logs with an oak wood on top,   to make a three block high column  with the oak bark texture on the top. Now we can add the walls in between the columns. Starting at the front, where  the 6 block high column is,  

Place spruce planks in the 5 block  gap in between, set back by a block. After this, add 4 blocks of stripped oak logs  on either side with oak planks next to them Then add oak stairs at the top and  bottom of the remaining space with   spruce fences in between to create a window.

We will then repeat this window design   in the 5 block wide space on the  other side of this wall section. So add the spruce planks along the bottom, 4  block high stripped oak log columns on either  

Side with oak planks next to them and finally the  window made using oak stairs and spruce fences. In the two block gap, place spruce  planks on the floor and then add   upside down spruce stairs two blocks above this,  leaving a 2 block gap for doors to be placed.

AFter this, add sideways oak logs  above the spruce stairs and then add   more coming out of the oak log columns  on the sides and at the front as shown. For the side wall, place 3 more spruce  planks to the 4 block gap and then add a  

4 block high stripped oak log column  to the other side that’s missing. In the remaining gap, create a window  using oak stairs and spruce fences. In the space next to this, repeat the same  design again. So spruce planks along the bottom,  

Stripped oak logs on either side and a  2 block wide window space in the middle. On the back wall, the first smaller section  will be spruce planks along the bottom,   stripped oak logs on either side and  a one block wide window in the middle.

The large middle section will be spruce  planks along the bottom, stripped oak logs   on either side with oak planks next to them  and a two block wide window in the middle. The final gap is a repeat of  the smaller wall section we   made first, with the one block wide window.

The final wall is a repeat of  the wall on the opposite side. So we will be adding spruce planks along  the bottom of both, stripped oak logs on   either side and both will have a two  block wide window space in the middle.

Now, go round to the very front  of the house and fill in the area   in between the wall and where i’ve marked  out the floor plan with spruce planks. This will be a porch area  on the front of the house. Once that’s filled in, add spruce  slabs to the space in between the  

Columns that are opposite where the doorway is. After that, we’re going to fill in the rest of   the gaps in between the columns  with upside down spruce stairs. If you’ve also added the floor plan,  you will want to remove it here as it  

Can be seen underneath the stairs. For  my build, I have replaced it with grass. Now, go inside the house and fill in the  rest of the floor with spruce planks. If you’d like to see more builds and tutorials  from me then head over to my Instagram where  

I post multiple times a week. The link is  in the description if you’re interested. Make sure to add some lighting as we  will now be adding a second floor above   this – placed on top of the oak  walls that make up the building.

This will allow us to have a second  floor of the house when we add the roof,   instead of it being one floor  with a very high ceiling. After all of the flooring has been placed, we  are now going to join the tops of the 6 block  

High oak columns together with sideways facing  oak logs, going all the way around the house. This will create a nice border around the  house and is there to finish off the wall   sections so that we can add a roof on top  without there being a gap in between them.

Once you’ve added the border, add an extra  log sticking out on each side at the front,   at the top of the 6 block high columns. For the rest of the house, add two oak logs  sticking out at the top of each of the columns.  

So there will be 3 on each  side and four on the back. We can now start working on the roof of the house. To start this, go to the back of  the house on one of the sides.

On the first log that sticks out on the  back wall, place a dark oak slab on the   top half of the second block with  another directly in front of it. Add another slab on top of the first one  we placed to create a block and then create  

Three more blocks using slabs,  so we have gone up 5 times. Now, add another dark oak slab and  then place a dark oak stair on top.   After this, we want to place another two stairs  going up with upside down stairs underneath.

So once this is done, we should  have 5 slabs going up and 3 stairs. Now we repeat this on the other side. Because there’s only one log here,   we need to add two temporary blocks in front  of it and the first slab to the side of those.

Once that first slab is in place, we then  repeat what we did on the other side.   So create blocks going up by half a block 5  times and then place a slab with a stair on   top, then two more stairs with  upside down stairs underneath.

If it’s been done correctly,  the two sides should be at the   same height and have a one block gap in between. In the gap between the stairs, add an  upside down dark oak stair with a slab   on top. Then add a second slab in front of this.

And now the two sides of the roof are  joined together and should look like this. We’re now going to repeat all of these  steps on the other side of the house. So starting at the back, add your first dark oak  slab on the side of the log and another in front.  

Then build up from here so  you have 5 blocks in total. Add an extra slab and then place your 3 stairs  with upside down stairs underneath the top 2 Now we need to do the other side. So go  to the front and place 2 temporary blocks  

With your first slab on the side  of these. Then build up from here. You can copy what you have already built or follow  the graphic on screen. Whatevers easiest for you. Now that you’ve built this side, remember  to add the upside down stair between the  

Two stairs at the top and add a slab  on top with another in front of it. As there will be a porch at the front of the  house, we’re just going to add an extra slab   underneath the first slab here and a  second in front to extend the roof a bit.

Do this on the other side as well. Now we’re going to join the two sides  together at the bottom with dark oak slabs. After you’ve done that, we’re going to place   spruce slabs across the roof  for the next three layers.

Make sure to place the slabs in line with the  ones that make up the borders of the roof. Add the third layer of spruce  slabs on this side of the roof   and then we can start adding  the slabs to the other side.

Before you do, make sure to place some  torches so nothing spawns underneath the roof. Now, on the other side, connect the  two sides together at the bottom   using dark oak slabs, the  same as we did at the front. After this, add two layers of spruce slabs.

We only need two for this side  as we extended the front roof   section for the porch, which is  why we needed three layers there. On the next layer we are going to  add another small roof section.

Place two spruce slabs and then a dark oak slab.  After this, come up by half a block and then add   a slab with a stair on top. Then add two more  stairs with upside down stairs underneath. So you should have two slabs  and three stairs on this side.

We’re now going to do the  exact same on the other side. So add two spruce slabs, then  two dark oak slabs coming up,   an extra slab with a stair on top and then two  more stairs with upside down stairs underneath.

In the two block gap, place two upside down  stairs and then add two slabs on top of them. Now, at the bottom of this roof section,  add two dark oak slabs coming across   and place a temporary block  with a grass block in front. Remove the temporary block  and add a dark oak stair.

Add some dark oak trapdoors in front of the  grass blocks and plant some sweet berry bushes.   This creates a small planter  to add some detail to the roof. Now we will repeat all of  this on the opposite side. So add two spruce slabs, two  dark oak slabs coming up,  

An extra slab with a stair on top and then  two more stairs with stairs underneath. And then repeat on the other side. Feel free to pause the video and follow  the graphic on screen if you need to,  

Or you can simply copy what we have already  built on the other side of the house. When you get to the top add the two  upside down stairs with slabs on top. Then create the planter again at the bottom  by placing two dark oak slabs, a stair,  

And a grass block and mirror it on the other side. Add the two dark oak trapdoors and the  sweet berry bushes and that’s the final   roof outline completed. We can now move  onto filling in the rest of the roof.

So, in line with the sides of the  roof we’re just going to build across   using spruce until we reach the  edge of the smaller outline. As you get higher up, you will have  to make the roof change direction   so you can join up with the other  roof section just like I am doing.

When you get to the top, the final layer  of the roof will be dark oak slabs.   Using a border of dark oak with  spruce in the middle creates a   nice outline and is a really easy way  of adding more depth to your builds. To finish this part of the roof off,  

I’m going to add a lantern hanging from  the extra slab that we added at the top. Now we just need to repeat  this for the other three   sections of the roof that we have left to fill in.  

So, join the two roof outlines together using  spruce in the middle with a border of dark oak. This part should be fairly easy for  you to build, but if you get stuck,   feel free to pause or slow the video down  so you can see what I’m doing more clearly.

If you’re enjoying the video so far then I’d  really appreciate it if you could leave a like   and consider subscribing if you haven’t already.  Also feel free to leave any feedback or requests   that you have in the comments below. I read  through all of them so yours won’t be missed!

Once the roof is done, we can move onto  adding more details to the rest of the house. Starting at the porch, we’re going  to add a couple of dark oak fences   on top of the oak logs that look  like they are holding the roof up. Where the fence meets the roof,  

Add an extra spruce slab so that it  connects properly and there isn’t a gap. You will need to do this four times  as there are four oak columns here. Now we just need to fill in the gaps in  between the columns with spruce fences,  

Apart from the one in the very centre as  that is where the entrance to the house is.  After you’ve done that, go onto the porch  and add some lanterns hanging from the oak   logs that stick out on either side  and also the ones at the doorway.

Then add an upside down oak stair  in the top corner of the wall   and create a planter using grass blocks,  spruce trapdoors and sweet berry bushes. You can also replace the oak  stair at the bottom of the   window with an oak plank as this won’t be seen.

Repeat all of this on the other side . So create a planter using grass blocks,   spruce trapdoors and sweet berry bushes and  add an upside down oak stair in the corner. After this, add a row of upside  down dark oak stairs across   the oak log thats placed at the top of the wall.

This is to fill in the gap  between the wall and the   roof to make it all come together and flow nicely. Now, the last thing to do here is to add  a couple of spruce doors to the doorway.  

Make sure you place them from the inside of the  house so that they fit under the stairs properly. For the side wall of the house,  start by adding a row of dark   oak slabs that go above the oak logs  that are sticking out at the sides.

These slabs should connect with the roof outline. Then, add an extra slab underneath these next to  each of the oak logs that stick out, as shown. After this, add upside down spruce  stairs underneath the oak logs and   add a lantern hanging from the two outer ones.

Then, add upside down oak stairs  in the top corners of the walls,   below the oak logs and finally add some spruce  leaves along the bottom to create bushes. If you’ve followed all of these steps, this  is what the side wall should look like.

Now, onto the back wall, we’re going to  add the dark oak slabs along the top again,   but this time on the top half of the oak log. Do this all the way across and don’t forget to add  the extra slabs next to the logs that stick out.

After this, add upside down  spruce stairs underneath the   logs that are sticking out and add  a lantern to the two outer ones. Then add the upside down oak  stairs in the top corners of   each of the wall sections, underneath the oak log. All of these extra details are a great way to give  

The build more structure and make it  a lot more interesting to look at. Now, the last wall is a repeat of the  other side wall that we have just built. So add the dark oak slabs along the top, placed  above the oak logs that stick out and making sure  

That they connect to the roof outline, then add  the extra slab next to each log underneath this,   the upside down spruce stairs underneath the  logs that stick out with a lantern on each side,   the upside down oak stairs in the  top corners of each wall section  

And finally some spruce bushes along the bottom. And that’s all of the wall details competed.   We will now fill in the gaps  that we have left in the roof. To do this, go inside the house  and add a ladder to the middle log  

On the right hand side wall,  going up to the second floor. Now that we’re up here, we need to fill  in the spaces underneath the roof to make   the room easier to work with when we  are decorating the interior later on.

So, add some spruce slabs to the first small  gap going all the way across to the other side. Then, in front of this, add spruce planks  all the way across in the next gap. Finally, add another layer of  spruce planks going all the  

Way across in front of the planks we have  just placed and add slabs on top of these. When you get to the window, add a plank in  front of the dark oak and leave the rest clear. And you should end up with  something that looks like this.

Now we need to do all of this  again on the opposite side. So add the row of spruce slabs first, then  the row of spruce planks in front of this. Then add a second row of spruce planks  with slabs on top, adding an extra plank  

In front of the dark oak where the window is and  leaving the space in front of the window clear. For the larger side windows, place  stripped spruce logs on the far   sides and in the middle,  connecting to the roof above. Then add spruce planks in between these,  

Along the bottom and in the one  block gap on each side at the top. Finally, add dark oak fences to the 2 by 2  space that we have left to create windows. Then repeat all of this on the opposite side.

So add the stripped spruce columns  at the sides and one in the middle,   spruce planks in between these at the top and  bottom and dark oak fences in the remaining space. Now we will decorate the smaller windows. On each side of the grass blocks tha t we can see,  

Place stripped spruce columns  reaching up to the top of roof. In between these, along the top and the bottom  add more sideways facing stripped spruce logs. Then add some dark oak fences  to the gaps to finish it off. Now we will repeat all of these steps on the  

Opposite side to complete the  main constriction of the build. So add the two stripped spruce logs  reaching up to the top, the sideways   facing logs along the top and the bottom and  then fill in the gaps with dark oak fences. Finally, add some lanterns hanging from the roof  

To add some light and we can move onto  decorating the interior of the build. To start on the interior, place a spruce trapdoor  at the top of the ladder and then head downstairs. Now that we’re downstairs, head over to the  doorway and recreate the look from the outside.  

So add two oak log columns on either  side, joined across the top with more   logs and then have two more sticking  out on each side at the top.   Then add two upside down spruce stairs  underneath with a lantern on either side.

Then add a few more lanterns hanging from  the ceiling around the room to light it up. On the side where the ladder is, add  two extra stripped oak columns in   front of the one next to the larger  window space and next to the door.

Then add a column of oak planks next  to this, across the ceiling and back   down to the other side. Finally add two  upside down oak stairs to create an arch. In the room that we have just created,  

Fill in the gap in the wall with oak planks and  add a couple of lanterns to light the room up. Add a bed in front of the window and place  upside down spruce stairs on either side   to create tables. Then decorate with a flower pot.

On the opposite side of the room,  place a spruce plank in the corner   and surround it with barrels to  give some extra storage space. In the main room, fill in  the gaps in the walls with   oak planks and then remove any torches  that you might have left on the floor.

Once you’ve done that, head over to  the back corner of the room and place   stone bricks as shown to create  the outline for the fireplace. Replace the oak planks and spruce  planks with stone bricks here too. After this, add a campfire and then place stone  

Bricks on either side with a slab  in the middle in front of this. Then place a stone brick wall on the  blocks and join them across the top   with stone brick slabs tto complete the fireplace. In the corner next to this, place a  spruce plank with a crafting table,  

Smithing table and an anvil. Add an armour stand on top of the spruce  planks and display armour of your choosing. Then in the corner opposite the fireplace, place  a spruce plank with furnaces on either side. You can add a blast furnace and a  smoker here or just use normal furnaces.

Add spruce trapdoors at the sides and then add  a brewing stand on top of the spruce plank. You can then decorate the area  by adding a painting and a bush. I’ve used temporary blocks to get the  painting I want and I’ve made the bush  

By placing a flower pot with a dead  bush in it and a leaf block on top. And that’s the main room completed.  We are now going to add a simple   storage area upstairs with extra  room for crafting and smelting. By the ladder, add a double  chest on both sides of the room.

Then, go over to the opposite end of the  room and find where you built the fireplace.   Remove the spruce plank and bring the  stone bricks upwards to create the chimney. Next to this, add 3 sets of stacked double chests. Go to the side of them and add  a couple of spruce trapdoors.

If you don’t like the way the chimney looks,   you can cover this up by using spruce  trapdoors as well but this is optional. In the space to the other side of the chimney,   place spruce planks with a crafting table  in between to create a crafting area.

Opposite this, place spruce planks with two  furnaces inbetween to create a smelting area. Then add the 3 sets of stacked  double chests in the remaining   space on this side of the room and add spruce  trapdoors to the sides of them to finish it off.

And that’s the whole of the  interior completed. The last   thing that we need to do is finish off  the chimney on the outside of the build. So head outside and go onto the roof at  the back of the house where you should  

Have marked out the chimney space when  we were decorating the upstairs room. I’ve added a stone block and a stone brick block  to make it look a bit worn and weathered as it’s   outside. Then place a campfire on top and surround  it with spruce trapdoors to complete the build.

And that’s the entire log  cabin tutorial completed. I really hope that you’ve enjoyed  this video and the build. If you have,   then please leave a like and consider  subscribing if you haven’t already. I hope you have a lovely Christmas  and thank you so much for watching.
