Is it your first night on Minecraft? Maybe you won't settle for that crummy first-night dirt shack. If you're crafty, you can build a good house, even on your first night.

Gathering Resources
-
Once you spawn, look around. A good seed for this build is in a forest, next to a lake.
-
Punch a tree and collect about 25 birch logs and about 35 oak logs.Advertisement
-
Make a wooden pickaxe then mine a fair bit of cobblestone and make a stone set. This is where the river/lake is needed. Gather 6 sand, make a furnace and start smelting the sand while you continue the build.
- If you want extra effect, collect some clay from the riverbed. This will be used for a flowerpot or 2 later.

Beginning to Build
-
Make a frame, a 5x3x3 box of oak wood. Next, jump on top of the box and place a slab on the planks then extend the slabs around the box.
-
Make a hole in the wall for a door, on the edge of the box, one block in on the left. Fill the floor of the box in with birch planks. Then place an oak door in the hole.
-
One block across from the door, make a hole 2 long 1 wide 2 high. Make those glass you smelted into panes and fill the 2 wide hole with them. Then make a hole on the back right corner, 3 long 1 wide 1 high so you can see through the corner into the room. Fill the space with panes.
-
Add some birch slabs around the left corner, just above the door. On the front extend the slabs to the end of the window and go 2 blocks back on the left side.
-
Place some birch fences going down the sides of where the door is. Then just make any tweaks you feel necessary to the exterior, but don't detail just yet. Also, if you're more of an experienced minecrafter, you can try build more rooms, or even make your house more than one story.Advertisement
