    When I post stuff, I make it look like an exact picture and then people say that I am a liar, that I didn't build it. What do I do?

    Just try to ignore people who say that. You know that you built it, and that's all that matters. Or you can tell them to give you an instruction to prove it, like replace a certain block with a block of wool, or put a sign post with their usernames on it.

    What are examples of cool things to build in Minecraft?
    Community Answer
    Pick a mob or a structure and build it. Like a house built to look like a pig or you could make something like a rainbow sheep farm or pig racing stuff. You could even make a Minecraft village look a whole lot cooler by changing the design a little bit and adding different features to the houses. Or, you could even make a creeper shaped house or something similar.

  • Question
    How do I make a simple hotel?
    Community Answer
    Make a house first. Then make a reception: Put some fences, 3 by 3 with a hole in the middle. Get an anvil and spawn villager egg, rename the villager to Receptionist. Spawn him in the hole, and once your cursor/something else touches him, you will see a tag named Receptionist. Either that, or you could be the receptionist. Then make more floors with flats/tiny houses with a crafting table, furnace, bed and chest. Then add the roof, some lights and a garden. You can also name the hotel with a sign. Put it above the door.

  • Question
    What sort of materials should I use for a pub?
    Community Answer
    You will probably want to use a darker wood. Add some stools, which you can make out of fences and slabs and signs. Have a counter made out of stairs or slabs and if you want to get really fancy, you could use tripwire hooks to look like spouts for beer or similar drinks.
  • Question
    What should I do if I run out of ideas in Minecraft?
    Community Answer
    Find tutorials on websites like wikiHow, or go to Google Images and type in: "minecraft things to build", choose a suggestion that returns to build a replica on Minecraft. You can change it a bit, too. Borrow books on Minecraft buildings from your local or school library, for more ideas inspired by other builds.
  • Question
    Can fire spread even if I turn off fire spread?
    Community Answer
    Probably not. This was tested on many different consoles, and they all showed that fire can't spread when you've got fire spread off. However, if it is still spreading on your console, then use slabs. Wood sets on fire, slabs don't.

Make games that you're actually able to play! Make the first ever working ferris wheel! Check out some of Stampy's YouTube videos for inspiration!

    How can I get someone to help me make cool stuff in Minecraft?
    Community Answer
    PC Edition: You can make your own server and ask someone to help, or find a poor server that almost no-one goes to and join, ask the creator to help. Console Edition: Get someone over to your house/hotel/refuge and they can help you build. As long as you've got two controllers, you'll be right.

    PreuxFox
    Top Answerer
    A griefer trap is a mechanism that traps, injures or kills another player character if that player tries to grief you (break stuff that you've built or steal things from you). For example, a lever that looks like it opens your door, but actually drops them down a long fall.

    Go up or down a level! Build secret tunnels under your city, or islands floating in the sky. If there's water and you haven't built there, build a boat-town floating on top, or a cool underwater city encased in glass, or a sunken Atlantis.

    What about diamond or gold blocks? It will take you a while to collect the materials (if you're not working in creative) but that will make it even more fun! Lapis could look cool too.
