If you\u2019ve the energy to craft your real life dreams, then Minecraft is the place for you. Accordingly, there is a thriving house-building movement in Mojang\u2019s little virtual universe. Building dream homes in Minecraft is very popular with all manner of creation popping up; from the isolated cabin in the woods to vast mega mansions. There are no limits in this video game. If you can dream it, you can build it.<\/p>\n<p>Endless possibilities can be a little hard to define, however, so we\u2019re going to help you get started by serving up some inspiration. If you\u2019re stuck for ideas, we\u2019re here to help.

You\u2019re also going to need\u00a0<strong>at least one chest<\/strong>\u00a0so that you can store all your items.

Wood looks good but isn\u2019t as strong as cobblestone. If you\u2019re building a modern house though, you\u2019re going to want to build with materials like stone, slabs, or clay. You\u2019ll also need lots of glass if you\u2019re going to put in floor to ceiling windows in your living room. Also, would any modern home be complete without a landscaped garden to gaze at through those windows? We think not. A modern Minecraft\u00a0house will take a lot of planning, time, and effort but will definitely be worth it, should you pull it off.<\/p>\n<h3>A survival Minecraft\u00a0house<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_148293\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-148293\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-148293\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/04\/Ideas_for_a_Minecraft_house_Survival_House_xahpey.jpg\" alt=\"Minecraft Survival house\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-148293\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image via: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grabcraft.com\/minecraft\/simple-survival-home\/survival-houses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Grabcraft<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There are many different types of survival Minecraft houses but what about a Minecraft house built into the side of a mountain or underground? What would feel more like trying to fight your survival than going to sleep every night in a cave?<\/p>\n<p>These types of Minecraft houses are very popular, but they do come with their own sets of unique issues. For a start, they can be difficult to find. You\u2019ll have to leave markers for yourself, showing you where your home is if you don\u2019t want to end up sleeping out in the cold or in a thunderstorm. You\u2019ll also need to take plenty of torches with you into your underground home as, like we\u2019ve already mentioned, mobs spawn in the dark and what could be worse than having to fight off zombies in the night?<\/p>\n<h3>An easy Minecraft\u00a0house<\/h3>\n<p>The underground\/cave house that we\u2019ve described above could be one of the simplest Minecraft\u00a0house\u00a0ideas. Another easy Minecraft\u00a0house\u00a0idea would be to build a simple wooden house. Who said log\u00a0cabins weren\u2019t cool?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-148290\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/image\/upload\/c_scale,w_700\/v1571851034\/minecraft-1629973_1280_xhzlyk.png\" alt=\"Minecraft house\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you decide to build a wooden house, you won\u2019t struggle to find building materials, wood is almost everywhere, and you\u2019ll also face little struggle shaping it into the cabin of your dreams. If you want a house that actually looks like a house, then a wooden cabin is definitely the easiest way to get there.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-card-starred-link\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-starred-link__img\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2018\/07\/Minecraft-how-to.png\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__col-title\">\r\n        <p class=\"sc-card-starred-link__title\">How to change your name in Minecraft<\/p>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-starred-link__button\" href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/how-to-change-your-name-in-minecraft\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer sponsored\">Discover the easy steps<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-starred-link__link\" href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/how-to-change-your-name-in-minecraft\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer sponsored\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<h3>A medieval Minecraft house<\/h3>\n<p>Obviously, there wasn\u2019t any single style of medieval house. In Minecraft though, there are a few design features that are distinctively \u201cmedieval\u201d. Cobblestone is everywhere, although you\u2019ll also find quite a few wooden features in medieval Minecraft houses. Fireplaces play a big part too, and grand halls have their place in medieval dwellings. There is room to maneuver on this one so if you decide you want a medieval house, you\u2019ll still have a bit of freedom to add your own personality to your designs.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-148292\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/Ideas_for_a_Minecraft_house_Medieval_House_npxwwt.jpg\" alt=\"Medieval Minecraft House\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>A cute Minecraft house<\/h3>\n<p>If you think that wooden cabin, we talked about earlier, was cute wait until you see a Minecraft treehouse. Treehouses are always thought of as cute little dens for kids to play around in. In Minecraft though, things are different. In Minecraft, treehouses take on a whole new meaning.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-148297 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/Minecraft_house_ideas_tree_house_q9rklt.jpg\" alt=\"Treehouse Minecraft\" width=\"700\" height=\"662\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Of course, you can simply build a house on the top of the tree, which is how we\u2019d normally think of a treehouse. You can also build a house right into the tree itself though. Turn the tree into your home rather than it just being the base. Treehouses are a perfect example of just how limitless Minecraft is. You can literally build anything.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-148291 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/04\/Minecraft_house_easy_house_clbfoz.jpg\" alt=\"Minecraft Easy House\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Minecraft house blueprints<\/h3>\n<p>So we\u2019ve tried to offer some inspiration for your next Minecraft building project.
