Part 1 House Ideas
Chapter 1 Building Material
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. A lot of players will call it unoriginal but it is a definite staple if you consider how many people use it when they construct their shelters. If you want to put some contrast to the elements in your walls then you can arrange sandstone, contrast it with redstone, and add a good amount of snow to complete the effect.
The way you implement building materials in your houses also creates this contrasting effect. For instance, glass is a material that can break while obsidian is often a material that people rely on for strength. Besides, obsidian is explosion proof, which is why everyone uses it to keep creepers out of the premises.
Other colorful and aesthetically sound materials that can be used include snow blocks, spruce wood, and lapis lazuli blocks. Brightly colored wood is also a good option in case you want to brighten up the mood in the interiors. You can use white wool and lace it over spruce logs; and another idea is to mix bricks and oak wood. Remember that the mix of colors can brighten or dull the overall theme inside and outside your house.
Idea 3 - Use Materials for Their Functional Value
Another basic idea, something that everyone learns at the onset of the game is that there are materials that have functional uses. For some basic protection you should go for some blocks that are rather hard to break. Obsidian blocks easily come to mind since they are tougher but they are indeed a little tougher to work with. Everyone knows that each type of block has its own level of resistance to explosions.
Some of the other options for strength and stability include materials like iron blocks, red stone, and emerald blocks. Gravel will also become useful and can make a pretty good option from time to time.
Idea 4 - Judge Material Choice by Time and Available Material
The amount of time you have in your hands is a factor every player should consider. Some materials are harder to farm. A good idea for starters is to use the things that are most available. For instance, both oak wood and a lot of birch are usually abundant in many places. You can use them for the meantime while acquiring other materials that are harder to get.
Idea 5 - Just Go Plain Crazy with Your Materials
Of course, you want to go beyond basic protection if you want to make your house look really good. For instance, if you want to give your house that really evil look to keep everyone else at bay, you can add some touches of soul sand or even a good amount of netherrack.
Now if you want to go gung ho in your design, then you might want to do some extreme experimentation and see if you can make a house made of dragon eggs. Feel free to post a video about how you built one.
Idea 6 - Combining Functionality and Good Looks
Many of the suggestions mentioned here will combine both functionality and overall good looks. For instance, you can combine flammable material which may look good and infuse it with tougher and more flame resistant materials like stone in different variants.
Another interesting combination of functionality and thematic overall design is the use of hardened clay. Take note that it has to be colored and also hardened. Whatever house or shelter you build out of it can be made to look really nice, provided that you choose the right blend of colors of course. It also provides a good bit of blast resistance so you can be sure that you re quite safe inside.
Chapter 2 Decide on the Roofing
One of the easiest things to spot on any house is the design of the roof. It s literally right up there for the entire world to see. It s also one of the more imaginative aspects of any house design in real life and in Minecraft as well. It may take some practice before people can smoothen out the details on more complex roof designs.
Remember that in this game, roof design is not an exact science. You might think that you have everything planned properly but when you finally implement your layouts, a few things may get awry. That is why everyone is given some sort of creative license to try and fix things that don
