To build a small modern house in Minecraft, here is a general step-by-step guide based on popular tutorial methods for compact modern house designs:
- Foundation : Start by marking out the foundation with blocks like spruce planks or concrete. Typical small house sizes are around 8x8 or 10x10 blocks.
- Walls : Raise the walls using your chosen main building block such as white concrete, quartz, or wood planks. Modern houses often mix materials like white concrete with wood accents (e.g., jungle or spruce wood).
- Windows : Add large windows using glass panes or stained glass to create a modern look. Place them strategically for good lighting, often floor-to-ceiling style.
- Roof : Build a flat or slightly sloped roof. Materials such as iron trapdoors, slabs, or more concrete blocks give a smooth modern finish.
- Interior Floors : Build a second floor if desired using slabs or wood planks.
- Doors & Detailing: Include doors like oak doors and add exterior detailing using stairs and slabs for porches and roof edges.
- Exterior Features : Add a porch area, balconies, or a small pool for flair.
- Interior : Furnish with craft tables, beds, chests, furnaces, and decorations.
For an easy and compact modern house featuring two floors with a porch, spruce planks, black stained glass panes for windows, and emphasis on clean lines and minimal decoration are typical. Another design uses jungle and birch wood with white concrete and stained glass for a stylish appearance with a pool on the side. These builds are beginner-friendly and great for survival mode starter homes, combining wood, concrete, glass, and quartz for a modern aesthetic.
