Question

So if cobblestone & bricks have 30% blast resistance, couldn't I just make an obsidian bunker instead?

Ziggy102464

Community Answer

Yes, you could, but getting the obsidian is hard unless you're in creative.

Question

Will people mine my house if it is made of diamond blocks?

Ziggy102464

Community Answer

It depends. If you are the host of the world, they might not because they could get kicked. If you are an ordinary player, they might, because it's diamonds.

Question

Can creepers blow a hole through bricks?

Community Answer

Since brick and cobblestone have the same blast resistance (30), it will leave a tiny hole. Use materials that don't blow up a lot.

You don't have to make houses, but it's recommended. If you are in your house, monsters can't get to you.

How can I get to an NPC village?

They tend to spawn randomly. Try to explore after you've made a way to not lose your house, like a map or even a trail of torches.

Question

Is a well-lit glass house monster-proof?

Community Answer

Glass is not really blast-resistant, so if a creeper spots you, it could very well blow it up.

Question

How many details can you put in your area/house?

Community Answer

You can place in as many as you want, as long as you still have room to walk. Some people even use redstone to make their house completely controlled by redstone, either though an automatic process or the player standing on or pressing something.

Question

Are there any blocks with a blast resistance of 2.5 or lower?

Community Answer

Yes. Dirt and sand have a blast resistance of 2.5. Glass has a blast resistance of 1.5, meaning a creeper can blow out your windows while dealing minimal damage to your walls.

Question

What is blast resistant?

Community Answer

Blast resistance is a way of measuring how well a block can withstand explosions. Examples of blocks with low blast resistance would be dirt, glass, sand, grass, etc. Examples of block with high blast resistance are bedrock (not obtainable in Survival mode), obsidian, cobblestone, stone, etc.

Question

Could my house be completely mob-proof?

Entity303

Community Answer

Yes. You can set traps for mobs. For creepers, create a three-block thick wall around your house. For spiders, add a one-block overhang to the wall. For mobs in general, have watchtowers so you can see approaching mobs and shoot them down. Also, dig a two block deep trench around the wall, so that zombies and skeletons will fall in. For extra security, add another trench and fill it with lava. After that, add ANOTHER trench and fill it with water for Endermen. Inside the wall, add a moat around your house in case any Endermen teleport in.

Question

What it I want my house to be floating? And if I do, how do I make it in survival?

You can make a floating house in survival, though it is a bit dangerous. Make a pillar, build the floor off of that pillar, then destroy the pillar. Then build the house like usual on the floating base.

Question

Can I build a house with quartz blocks?

Kenny

Community Answer

Yes, there is no problem with creating a house out of quartz blocks. However, since quartz can only be obtained in the Nether, another world you'll probably go to later in the game, it's best to build a house out of simple materials like wooden planks and cobblestone first.
