## Description

A quick, cheap tower for spotting structures and keeping watch over your base. Four legs carry a 9 by 9 deck 11 blocks up, a slab railing keeps you from stepping off and a stair roof keeps the rain out.

## Materials

| Block | Count |
| --- | ---: |
| Spruce Planks | 104 |
| Spruce Stairs | 80 |
| Spruce Log | 52 |
| Spruce Slab | 32 |
| Ladder | 11 |
| Cobblestone | 4 |
| Lantern | 1 |

## Build steps

1. Legs: Place four cobblestone footings on the corners of a 7 by 7 square and raise spruce log legs 15 blocks tall on them.
2. Bracing: Connect the legs with a ring of spruce planks 5 blocks up.
3. Deck: Build a 9 by 9 spruce plank deck at the 11th level with a spruce slab railing around the edge.
4. Ladder: Place a ladder on the inside of one leg from the ground through the deck.
5. Roof: On top of the legs, build a pyramid roof of spruce stairs that steps in one block per layer and ends with a spruce plank cap.

## Tips

- Build it on a hill near your base for the best view.
- A lantern on the deck stops mobs from spawning up there.
- Pair it with a Seed Finder seed that has a good lookout spot.
