Five Methods:Choosing Your MaterialsChoosing Your Decoration MaterialsBuilding Your HouseMaking the Exterior DetailsFurnishing the Interior

Do you ever see pictures of amazing Medieval creations in Minecraft? Do you want to know how to build things like that? It's easy to get started!

Method 1 of 5: Choosing Your Materials

  1. 1
    If you are in creative mode, use as many blocks as you can. If you are in survival mode, you may not have as many choices, but you can still build a pretty cool Medieval building out of your average wood and cobblestone. Common blocks for medieval buildings include:
    • Cobblestone
    • Spruce wood
    • Oak wood
    • Spruce leaves
    • Fences
    • Redstone lamps
    • Carpet
    • Stone
    • Iron bars
    • Hay bales
    • Trap doors
    • Stairs
    • White wool

Method 2 of 5: Choosing Your Decoration Materials

    Use carpet in your building. Carpet is easy to craft for survival mode, and it adds color to your house. The best colors of carpet for Medieval houses are:
    • Dark green
    • White
    • Red
    • Cyan
  2. 2
    Add a fun design to your carpeting. Dig a hole in the ground where you want the carpet to be. Place signs in a pattern in the hole. Signs can be tilted and placed on angles, so get creative! Then place the carpet on top of the signs. You now have a carpet with a fun design!

Method 3 of 5: Building Your House

    Make the frame. This can be done with logs of any type, cobblestone, or any other material. Try to make the frame an irregular box shape, like a large box with a tiny box on top.
  2. 2
    Fill in the bottom layer of the frame with your desired block.
  3. 3
    Add windows on the second layer. Remember, your avatar is 2 blocks high, so try to make most of the windows 2 blocks off the floor, so your avatar can see out of the windows. Windows can be made out of stained/normal glass, fences, or iron bars.
  4. 4
    Continue to fill in the rest of the house with your desired block. Now, you should have a basic house with a few windows. Not medieval enough? Don't worry! The key parts of medieval building are the tiny details and decorations, which we will go over in a few minutes.
  5. 5
    Add the roof. This may consist of stairs and slabs, but be careful! A wide house means a wide roof, but if you use stairs for every level of roof, then this will result in an awkward roof. This can be fixed by having only a few levels of stairs, and then slabs.

Method 4 of 5: Making the Exterior Details

    Add some details. Start by adding doors and a walkway made of cobblestone. Start to furnish it with the following:
    • Stairs on the corners (upside-down stairs can be placed near the roof or anywhere else on the building)
    • Trapdoors placed on blank areas
    • A simple redstone lamp (made using fence posts)
    • Tiny indentations made with stairs (replace blocks in the wall with stairs facing outwards)
  2. 2
    Add a small farm. Every Minecrafter needs a garden or a farm, right? Add a small farm with wheat and a few trees to give your house that "organic" feeling. Maybe even use some bone meal to grow some plants around your house.
  3. 3
    Add a few horses. Most medieval knights have horses! Add a small fenced in area with a horse in armor and some hay bales, and maybe even a cauldron filled with water as a water source for the horse.

Method 5 of 5: Furnishing the Interior

  1. 1
    Decide where each room will go. Some rooms to think about are listed below. Obviously, these are all optional. You might have not built a very large house, and that's okay! Just pick a few of these rooms:
    • Basement (if you want to dig an extra hole)
    • Kitchen
    • Dining room
    • Bedroom
    • Bathroom
    • Living room
  2. 2
    Use plenty of furnaces and chests in the kitchen. Add a sink made of a cauldron filled with water, and any other kitchen furnishings.
  3. 3
    Make a wooden table for the dining room. Search Google for "Minecraft chairs" and you can find some cool chair ideas too.
  4. 4
    Add a nightstand and some flowers in a pot next to your bed in the bedroom. The wall can be nicely decorated with a painting or two.
  5. 5
    Add a few couches and a fake TV in the living room. This is all up to you!
  6. 6
    Make your bathroom. The bathroom can be fun to make! If you have room, you can design your own bathtub or shower. A toilet and a sink can both be made using a cauldron with water and a few tripwires. Make sure your bathroom has walls of quartz or a white material.
  7. 7
    Make the hallways. You can try using stairs to create indentations in the floor, and carpet wherever it looks best.
