## Build steps

1. Ground: Flatten a 25 by 25 grass area. Lay two 5-wide gravel roads crossing in the middle and an 11 by 11 cobblestone plaza where they meet.
2. Well: In the centre, place a 5 by 5 cobblestone rim with a 3 by 3 water pool inside.
3. Well roof: Put oak log posts 3 tall on the rim corners and build a stepped oak stair roof on top.
4. Market stalls: In each corner area build a 5 by 3 stall: oak log posts at the corners, a row of barrels as the counter and a striped wool canopy on top.
5. Lights: Place oak log posts with lanterns at the four plaza corners.

## Tips

- Barrels make good shop counters because they open from any side.
- Use a different canopy colour for each trade.
- Villagers need beds and job blocks nearby to settle.
