Stone Keep Castle
A 15 by 15 three-floor stone brick keep with corner turrets, arrow slits and a roof walk.
A compact castle that works as a real survival base. Three wooden floors connect by a ladder in the corner, the ground floor has arrow slits and a 3-wide gate, and the battlements give you a lookout over the area. A few mossy and cracked bricks make it look aged.

How to build the Stone Keep Castle
- 1
Base
Lay a 15 by 15 stone brick floor.
- 2
Outer walls
Build stone brick walls 12 blocks high around the edge. Open a gate 3 wide and 3 tall in the middle of the front.
- 3
Floors
Add spruce plank floors at the 5th and 9th levels and a stone brick roof on top of the walls.
- 4
Battlements and turrets
Place merlons on every other block around the roof edge. On each corner build a 3 by 3 turret three blocks above the roof with its own merlons.
- 5
Windows and slits
Cut 1 by 2 arrow slits on the ground floor and add 2-tall glass windows on the upper floors on every side.
- 6
Ladder
In the back left corner, place a ladder against the back wall from the ground to the roof, passing through each floor.
- 7
Weathering
Swap about one in ten stone bricks for mossy stone bricks and a few for cracked stone bricks.
Builder tips
- A stonecutter turns stone into stone bricks one for one.
- You need about 25 stacks of stone bricks, so set up a cobblestone generator or mine a cave.
- Arrow slits let you shoot out while mobs cannot path in.
