Complete Minecraft survival house build tutorial with multiple floors, farms, storage, and defense system
A comprehensive guide to building a fully-equipped Minecraft survival house with multiple floors, farms, Nether portals, storage areas, enchanting station, and a Redstone defense system triggered by a lever.
Place wooden pillars in a rectangular shape with five blocks between each pillar. Each pillar should be four blocks tall. Connect all pillars at the top except for two corners.
Fill in walls using stone bricks. Create two Nether Portals that appear to wrap around corners. Fill behind portals with stripped oak logs.
Create a decorative gate using cobblestone walls on ends and spruce fence gates in the middle. Fill ends with stairs for access to the next level. Begin filling the second floor layout.
Cap some pillars with cobblestone blocks and extend others four more blocks tall. Connect all pillars at the top with oak planks.
Create framed crop fields using furnaces, smokers, and smelters stacked together. Add enchanting area with bookshelves and carpet. Install storage with double chests three blocks tall.
Add cobblestone blocks at corners and extend open pillars four more blocks. Connect tops with oak planks and add pyramid shapes on cross beams. Fill walls with varied blocks and add decorative leaves.
Outline the roof with stone brick stairs, then fill with spruce stairs. Add upside down grindstones on corners with hanging lanterns for decoration.
Build a staircase between storage areas using oak logs, bookshelves, and stairs. Finish walls to create two separate rooms in the roof space. Add lanterns and upside down spruce stairs for lighting.
Create pathway blocks around a pond using slabs and sugar cane. Add leaves and flowers around the area. Light the Nether portals and add animals.
Add sticky pistons, dispensers, buckets of lava, and other Redstone components. Connect everything to a lever for an instant defense system that eliminates hostile mobs.
