## Materials

| Block | Count |
| --- | ---: |
| Oak Planks | 149 |
| Spruce Stairs | 88 |
| Cobblestone | 28 |
| Oak Log | 16 |
| Glass | 12 |
| Spruce Planks | 11 |
| Chest | 1 |
| Crafting Table | 1 |
| Furnace | 1 |
| Lantern | 1 |
| Oak Door | 1 |

## Build steps

1. Lay the foundation: Place a 7 by 9 rectangle of cobblestone on flat ground. Replace the inner 5 by 7 with oak planks for the floor.
2. Raise the corner logs: Stand an oak log column 4 blocks tall on each corner of the foundation.
3. Build the walls: Fill the walls between the logs with oak planks, 4 blocks high. Leave a 1 by 2 gap in the middle of the front wall for the door.
4. Add windows and the door: Place a glass block either side of the door at eye level, two 2-tall windows on each long side and one 2-tall window in the back wall. Hang an oak door in the gap.
5. Build the roof: Run the ridge from front to back. Start one block outside the walls with spruce stairs facing inward, step up and in one block per layer for four layers, and cap the top with a row of spruce planks. Fill the triangle at the front and back with oak planks.
6. Furnish: Put the crafting table and furnace against the back right wall, a chest in the back left corner and a lantern near the door. Your bed fits along the left wall.

## Tips

- Gather about 20 oak logs and 12 spruce logs before you start.
- Light the area around the cabin so mobs do not spawn next to the door.
- Use the layer plan if you lose track of the roof steps.
