Spruce Family House

How to build the Spruce Family House

1. 1

   Foundation and stone base

   Lay an 11 by 13 cobblestone rectangle, fill the inside with spruce planks and add a one-block cobblestone ring on top of the outer edge.

2. 2

   Frame and walls

   Raise spruce log corners to 8 blocks above the foundation. Fill the walls with spruce planks and run a ring of spruce logs around the wall at the fifth level as a floor beam.

3. 3

   Second floor

   Fill the inside at the beam level with spruce planks, leaving a 1 by 4 opening along the east wall for the stairs.

4. 4

   Staircase

   Inside the east wall, place five spruce stairs climbing north, one block up and one block forward each time, ending level with the upper floor.

5. 5

   Windows and door

   Add 2-tall glass windows on both floors: two at the front, three at the back and three on each side, plus one above the door. Hang a spruce door in the middle of the front wall.

6. 6

   Roof

   Build a north to south gable from dark oak stairs, starting one block outside the walls above the top of the walls. Climb six layers and finish with a dark oak plank ridge. Fill the gable ends with spruce planks.

7. 7

   Furnish

   Place the crafting table, furnace and chest in the back corner downstairs and three bookshelves upstairs. Lanterns light both floors.

Builder tips

• Spruce trees are common in taiga, so build near one to keep wood trips short.
• Stairs placed while facing north will climb northward automatically.
• Add carpets and a bed upstairs to finish the bedroom.
