Animal Barn and Pen
A 9 by 11 spruce barn opening into a hedge-walled grass pen with a gate and water.
Keep cows, sheep or pigs in a pen they cannot jump out of. The two-block hedge is too tall for animals, the barn stores hay and gives shelter, and a single fence gate lets you in.

How to build the Animal Barn and Pen
- 1
Barn base
Lay a 9 by 11 cobblestone base with a spruce plank floor inside.
- 2
Barn walls
Build spruce plank walls 5 blocks tall with spruce log corners. Leave a 3 by 3 opening in the middle of the side facing the pen and add a spruce door on the opposite side.
- 3
Barn roof
Build a north to south gable from dark oak stairs, overhanging one block, with a dark oak plank ridge.
- 4
Pen
Next to the opening, mark a 12 by 11 grass area. Surround it with a two-block-tall oak leaf hedge, with spruce log posts and lanterns on the far corners.
- 5
Gate and water
Place a spruce fence gate in the middle of the far hedge, with an air gap above it, and add one water source in the pen.
- 6
Inside the barn
Stack hay bales in a back corner and add a composter and chest.
Builder tips
- Leaves you place yourself never decay.
- Lead animals in with their favourite food: wheat for cows and sheep, carrots for pigs.
- Animals cannot jump over a fence gate even with air above it.
