    Community Answer
    You could use a large tree to make a tree house, or you could collect other materials and maybe go mining (you will need a pick-axe). Then, using the materials you find, make a small hut or cottage. If you run out of materials, just find more. Don't go to far from your building though, as you might get lost.

    Miss Nashveggie
    Community Answer
    You can. I have done it before on Pocket Edition (PE), but there is a limit of how high you can build your skyscraper, and that is to the clouds. But if it rains, the top floor will be rained on. Just follow the same instructions, but build as high as you want.

    Make a hole 2x2, 4 holes deep. Consider adding lava or a cat/dog to kill them. Make a safe spot for the cat or dog with stairs so it can get up. (If you don't add stairs, your pet will be stuck and can despawn or teleport to you.)

  • Question
    What if players come to my house?
    ABDORNFINRJCOJDJEISO
    Community Answer
    Your choice! You can either let them stay and have a party, tell them to get out, or if you want to be evil, kill them. Though if you're letting them stay, don’t let them take the advantage and grief or burn your house. Just be careful of who you let in your property. It’s recommended to let only the ones you trust in.
  • Question
    What is the easiest way to hide my base since underground bases are really difficult?
    ABDORNFINRJCOJDJEISO
    Community Answer
    Unfortunately, there’s no easy way to make a house safe, players search near and far. They all have weaknesses, but here are some recommendations! Usually you can find a very dense forest of any kind, then build your house, but it’s time consuming as you may need to chop down trees. Be careful though, as the shade provided by the trees will make it so monsters spawn more often. But overall, it provides an unidentifiable home. You can make an underwater base too but be warned, drowning and Drowned can possibly make it harder to work. It will provide good protection though, as the deeper you make it, the less visible and the more chances of drowning the person searching your house has.
  • Question

  • Question
    Do I make a triangle roof with stairs or just a flat roof with blocks?
    Nevaan Shetty

    It's better to build a roof than to keep it flat. You can make it out of stairs because it looks very nice and many people use stairs to build the roofs.
  • Question
    What is a command that clears blocks?
    ILikeSlugs
    Community Answer
    /fill works perfectly for that. Write down on real life paper the coordinates of the top corner of the blocks you want to fill, then go to the bottom corner, diagonally away from the corner you just were at, and write the coordinates for that block, Then, type "/fill X Y Z X Y Z air", with no quotation marks, replacing X Y Z with the coordinates. It's easier than it seems.
