This tutorial will show you how to build a cottage similar to the one in the screenshot.
This tutorial will show you how to build a cottage similar to the one in the screenshot.
- Start by choosing your blocks. One should be a wood material (such as oak planks) and a stone material (cobblestone,stone bricks, smooth stone etc.)
- Create a 16 by 16 base. Make it 3 blocks tall in a normal flat world, otherwise simply flatten an area.
- Create the shape of your cottage with your stone material. I recommend 8 by 8 blocks in a corner. One shape I use a lot is an L shape.
- Build a porch with a slab (preferably a stone material) to fill in the missing space so your cottage takes 8*8 blocks.
- Replace a slab in the front with a stair, made with the same material.
- Make a gravel path from one side leading up to the stair. Try to make it a unique shape rather than a straight line.
- Build some lights next to the path. I use 3 block tall cobblestone walls with a redstone lamp and an inverted daylight detector on top.
- Place some trees. I build my own trees but you can use saplings as well.
- (optional) Create a flower pattern. Use tall flowers to do this. One example is a small line of lilacs.
- (optional) Create a small stream with gravel on the bottom. Use barriers to prevent the water from flowing out until you build another plot.
- Use bone meal on the rest of the garden.
- (optional) Make your porch fancy! I like to outline it with a stone material and place anvils on top.
- Build the house up. Make the corners stone and the middle wood. This outline should be 4 blocks tall.
- Furnish your house. Add a floor and place the ceiling so that there is a 3 block tall space in between. Then add some items such as a bed and a chest, and other blocks you would use in survival mode.
- Build the roof. There should be a 1 block overhang and it should be made with stone. Use stairs for this.
- (optional) Dig a cellar. Place more furniture down there and build a ladder so you can get down there.
- (optional) If the roof is big enough, turn the inside into an attic. Place chests and add a ladder so you can get up there.
- Replace the blocks around the stream (if you have one) with leaves and line the edge of your plot that will be connected to the road with leaves.
- Enjoy your small, detailed cottage!
