How to build a house in Minecraft step by step guide:

Step 1: Building Walls

First of all, find the location to build the house. And use any block you want, but building for survival mode gameplay then uses strong blocks for walls. Select the block and place blocks on top of each other; height and depth depend upon the number of blocks you are using. Avoid using wood blocks because they can easily get fire.

Step 2: Building Roof

Once the wall is constructed, time is built to build the roof and make the roof use any block except sand and gravel block. I used the same stone block for the roof as well:

Step 3: Adding Doors and windows

Many doors can be used, such as spruce door, iron door, oak door, etc. This door can be crafted if you have the required material. The simplest door is the oak door and can be crafted with 6 wood planks. The recipe is shown below:

Or you can get it using the command:

The “1” in the above command is the amount.

And to add windows, you need glass panes. Glass panes can be crafted using glass boxes:

Or you can get them using the “give” command:

Step 4: Adding Lights

Monsters mostly come in the nighttime; therefore, don’t forget to light your house well. To add lighting to the house, you need to craft torches that are quite easy to craft all you need a crafting table, a stick, and one coal.

Or use the command to get torch:

The “4” in the above command is the number of torches we are getting.

Step 5 : Furnishing

A bed is another essential for the house. The bed is a block used by the player to sleep but only during the night and thunderstorms. Apart from sleeping, the beds are also used to set the spawn points. A bed can be crafted in many colors, but you need 3 red wool and 3 wood planks to craft a red bed. Open crafting table and place blocks as shown in the image below:

Or use the command:

To store items, you need a chest to craft a chest you need 8 wood planks, open crafting table, and place them as shown in the image below:

Or use command

As you progress, you may need various items such as an enchanting table, anvil, grindstone, etc. These items can be crafted and placed in the house depending upon your needs.
