What kind of fences should I use on a modern house?

Question

What if I'm just not content with what I built?

Banana Head

Top Answerer

You don't have to follow the tutorial step-by-step. Add some decoration, and change some of the block types. It is your house, after all. Or you can always just start from scratch and build a new house your own way.

Question

How can I build a school in Minecraft PE?

Community Answer

A simple school could just be like an apartment building. The main difference is that it should be more visually appealing. Also some "rooms" have to be larger than others. You could place signs on every room to show its purpose. Don't forget to add a playground!

What biome should I build my house in?

It would be best to build it in the plains biome, as it has relatively flat land.

Question

Should hidden homes be placed up in a tree or underground?

In my experience, underground houses are more hidden than tree houses. Don't forget to hold Shift and hide your name!

Question

In Minecraft, where would a player find quartz?

Community Answer

Quartz can be found in the nether. All you have to do is make a nether portal, which can be done by making a tall rectangle out of obsidian (lava that had water poured on it), and right-clicking the portal with a flint and steel.

Question

Would white concrete look alright alongside purple blocks?

Anna

Probably. White concrete would look the best. Also you can test it by making a very small house and seeing if you like it.

Question

Can I build a house in/on water? If so, what bricks are waterproof?

Anna

Community Answer

Bricks will leak with little drops of water, but if you make it two blocks thick, it won't leak. Since blocks float in Minecraft, it's pretty easy to make a house on water.

How do you make a slide?

Anna

You can use steps and align it with walls and flood it with water. You can also make it twist and turn for fun. A YouTuber called bblocks has tutorials about that.

Anyway you want to do it works. It would look pretty cool if you put pillars and steps into the water on it, too.

Either fences or walls. You can add glass panes, but don't make sure to jump on it because then you might fall and end your world.

Birch is best to use with dark oak, as it is really different to look at as they are contrasts.

I built a house that looks like a square. My brother makes fun of me and I want to have a build challenge and I have to be prepared! What do I do and how do I do it?

Ashlyn Martin

Community Answer

That is tough! Try looking at photos for inspiration, and making roofs similar to village houses. And it’s always best to start out with a floor plan.

Question

Do you have the shading texture pack?

Vortrexion

Top Answerer

There were no shaders used in the guide, but here are some I enjoy and would recommend: Combining Stratum 2048x and Continuum 2.1 together. Using Mats 1024x. Combining PTGI 12 shaders and UMSOEA R16 2048x. All of the options I listed here are extremely high-quality, and will require a beefy computer to use.

Question

I want to build an "impossible" house but I have no inspiration. Any advice?

Lea

Community Answer

Search for modern houses, strange houses, all types of unusual structures. Searching for crazy houses will give you inspiration. Experiment with prototypes, and mash ideas together for the best result. If you mess up on what was supposed to be your final house, don't give up. Keep trying till you love what you are making.

You can use dark oak or birch. I like bright and vibrant colors, so I usually use quartz blocks with birch wood.

Question

How can I build a modern house in survival mode?

Community Answer

You can follow the same instructions in this article but it will take a lot longer as you have to gather all the materials. Also, instead of flying, you will have to stack dirt or sand (or anything similar) to lift yourself up.
