Minecraft: How to Build a Wooden Starter House (Step-by-Step) Tutorial
STEP 1. Layout Dimensions
STEP 2. Flooring
Fill the interior of the layout with spruce planks.
STEP 4. Build the Walls
In the front and back of the house (from left to right), build 4 blocks up, then 5 blocks up, then 6 blocks up, then 5 blocks up, then 4 blocks up with stripped spruce log.
On the left and right side, build 4 blocks up in front of the stripped spruce log with spruce log. Do the same thing for the back of the house.
STEP 5. Build the roof
In the photo above, you’re going to create the roof line with spruce stairs by copying the pattern above.
This is what the start of your roof should look like so far.
Add 3 glass blocks in between the stripped spruce logs.
Complete the roof by filling the remaining spots with spruce planks and 2 spruce slabs, one in the front and one in the back of the house (shown below).
