How to build a fantasy house in Minecraft
What the fantasy builds here have in common. Follow these and your own build will look the part.
-
STEP 1
Start with mossy stone
A base of stone bricks with plenty of moss and cracks, as if it has stood in a wet forest for centuries.
-
STEP 2
Frame it in dark timber
Dark oak posts and beams with a pale plaster between them, and nothing quite straight.
-
STEP 3
Top it with a pointed hat
A tall, narrow roof that leans a little, in a colour: purpur, prismarine or crimson wood.
-
STEP 4
Make it glow
Coloured glass in the windows, soul lanterns by the door and a few glowing blocks set into the walls.
-
STEP 5
Let the forest in
Hang vines from the eaves and plant giant mushrooms around it.
