Conclusion
I NTRODUCTION
Minecraft has certainly taken the gaming world by storm. It was totally unexpected that a block building game, which was lacking a lot in the visual department, will entice many avid gamers around the world. The phrase do not judge a book by its cover truly applies to this game.
So, what is the main thing that attracts people to playing this game Is it the monster battles Is it the never ending tasks that include hoarding resources The previous statement might be true for the minority of players. However, it is best to surmise that the ability to build is the right answer. And that is especially true for people who are totally hooked into building their houses in Minecraft.
You may be thinking, why not play the Sims instead if that is the case That game has a lot to offer when it comes to building houses. People can even start interacting with other NPCs and players that can perform interesting actions. And to top that off, the graphics is much better in that game.
However, the Sims lack one aspect that Minecraft has. In Sims, everything is premade. The chairs, desks, and even the wall dividers are instantly available. And the player just needs to click and drag those objects in the game area to place them. To make sure that the player can get those furniture and other house objects, they need to make their avatars work for it. In that game, work means just sending your Sim to his office, and that is it.
In Minecraft, only a few things are premade for the player to pick up. To obtain chairs, desks, and walls, he needs to build and design them first. And when a player needs to work on those house objects, it does not mean that he will need to wait around a bit to gain the materials he needs to build. He needs to get those resources manually. And by manually, it means that he is mandated to dig, farm, and craft. And those are not easy tasks in the game world of Minecraft. Also, since the player is the one that will design and build his house, he is not limited to what the game can provide. The only limits that he has are his imagination and time. Literally, that is the prime reason the game is the epitome of the sandbox game genre.
Anyway, some of you already know that, and it might be the sole reason you got this book in the first place. Thank you for doing that; the author believes that you will certainly love and make great use of this book s contents. So what are the contents of this book
In this book, you will get to know 70 great Minecraft house ideas. You might think that this has a list of house designs for you to choose from; unfortunately, no. Pictures or videos are better presentation mediums when it comes to Minecraft house ideas, and, obviously, text is not the best way to introduce them to gamers. So, what are the things you will get from this To be precise, you will mostly learn tips and tricks on how to build your dream Minecraft house. The advice will assist you in making the building process easier, faster, and more creative.
By the way, below is the list of topics that you will read:
A Short Lecture about Minecraft House Building Materials
Ideas on How to Work on Your House s Interior Design
Guide on How to Build Your House s Roof
Lighting and Windowing Advices
Discussion about Creative Elements that You Can Integrate in Your House Design
As a bonus, this book contains great 70 Minecraft mods that you can search and install. By the way, if you are unfamiliar with Minecraft mods, take note of the following.
Minecraft mods are mostly patches and small parts of programs that can alter your Minecraft game. Mods can change how items work, the appearance of the gaming environment, add more elements or objects in the games, and improve some of the game s functions and features.
You can search and download these mods from the internet. They can be found mostly on Minecraft user forums and communities. Almost every mod available on the World Wide Web is homebrewed or independently created by Minecraft fans and followers. There is also no guarantee that they really know what they are doing, or they are qualified to make stable programs or patches. However, a few things are certain when it comes to Minecraft mods. They are made with sheer creativeness, and they can definitely spice up your Minecraft gaming experience.
Moreover, the game s creator and distributor does not provide official support on most of these mods. Therefore, you are on your own when getting these mods and installing them in your system. Some badly coded Minecraft mods can crash your game, and even your system. And the creators of these mods cannot be held responsible for the damages that can be done on your computer hence you will frequently see that they come with disclaimers.
Anyway, those things are not meant to scare you or to stop you from getting mods. They are merely precautions, and for you to be informed. Also, not all mods are badly coded. Some are actually created by professional program developers who just want to share their creations to the Minecraft community.
On the other hand, those things are the reasons the bonus part of this book was created. The mods or items on the list here are safe and stable to an extent. They were carefully gathered and researched from different communities, and most of them were guaranteed by their downloaders to be working, and do not have incompatibilities with the game or other mods.
And just to be safe, it is recommended that whenever you install one, make sure that you first remove the other mods you have installed those that you do not want to use anymore. You should do that to prevent possible incompatibilities, and for you to detect and troubleshoot which ones are unstable and incompatible with your system. As an additional advice, you should also look for and install a Minecraft mod installation manager. That program can assist you on removing the mods you have installed with a few clicks.
Moving forward, the next chapter will start discussing about Minecraft housing ideas. It is highly suggested that you launch your game now, for you to follow the ideas in this book easily and test them immediately. Enjoy.

The type of building material you will use for your house is pretty basic in Minecraft. It s actually one of the things you will have to think about when crafting and designing your houses. Some materials can be used to pimp up the place and some of them are there for functional purposes.
So, when you ask what materials are your favorites or what materials you often use to build your house, the answer usually varies from player to player. However, players will provide a certain caveat; that it all depends on the type of house or shelter you re building.
Two Main Reasons for Material Selection
The two main reasons for material selection are that the material is either to be used for aesthetic purposes (i.e. to make your shelter/house look nice). Who would want to live in a dump, right Some houses are nice, your basic blocks in place but if it s plain and bland you might want to spice up the view and add some outrageous looking things to make it more interesting. Besides, it s also something that you can brag about to your friends in case you can pull it off.
The usual materials that everyone uses to build a basic shelter include wood and cobblestone. A good idea is to add a few combinations to your choice of materials. Some people might suggest the use of stone and bricks into the structure while others will just settle for stone bricks to keep the peace.
Another favorite material is glass; there are a good number of players who would opt for such materials. Well, basically glass allows you to see what s going on outside. You can then plan your next move since you already know who or what is waiting for you when you open the door. But just like any other material, glass also has its own downside.
Idea 1 - Use Basic Materials for Aesthetic Appeal
Some materials, even though they are functional in nature can have that aesthetic appeal. Materials like wood, glass, and stone bricks have their basic functions but they make the basic structure look really good. Some materials are flammable like wood and wooden planks but they also have their uses depending on the time of the day or the situation you re currently in.
Idea 2 - Use Contrasting Colors and Other Elements
Here s another interesting suggestion when it comes to choosing fundamental materials to pimp your crib. Sandstone by itself really looks good.
