Tiny Spruce Dining Area

Image
I am now on Instagram! Follow me at  www.instagram.com/fun_minecraft_builds/ This is a small and compact dining area for you to enjoy a Minecraft dinner! There are two parts to this build: the table set and the cupboards. The table is made out of two end rods with horizontal spruce trapdoors on top. The chairs are simply made out of spruce stairs. The cupboards are horizontally placed barrels and can included potted plants on top as decoration.  This build is perfect for compact houses or bases with tiny kitchens! The barrels serve as functional storage blocks. I would recommend storing food items in them so that the theme fits! To change up the look and feel of this build you could do two things. 1. Alter the block style to a different kind of wood or stone. 2. expand or retract the width of the build so that it uses more or less space.  As usual, please let me know how your build turns out :)  

Oak Bookshelf and Chest

Image
I am now on Instagram! Follow me at  www.instagram.com/fun_minecraft_builds/ This design tries to make the most of function and beauty in a tiny space. Place upside-down stairs down on each side and some bookshelves above them. The top layer is made of oak slabs. In the middle of the build is a chest with trapdoors placed above it that act as the shelves. As decoration, add a lantern and a potted plant on the shelves.  For this build I stuck to using oak wood materials because they work well with the bookshelves. To change it up feel free to try using a different style of wood. You could also replace the chest with barrels, crafting tables, or other crafting stations.  As usual, let me know how your build turns out :) Our Minecraft builder/author also makes shirts! If you would like to support the blog, please consider checking them out below!  

Staircase Bookshelf

Image
I am now on Instagram! Follow me at  www.instagram.com/fun_minecraft_builds/ A fun and simple bookshelf build that is designed to look like a staircase. For this build you need to combine bookshelves and barrels in a grid format. On the tallest side, add some oak trap doors to create a wall of sorts. As for the decorations, feel free to add an arrangement of potted plants and lanterns on the top of each stair.  Video Tutorial:  Try doubling up the build and making the staircase even larger. You could also make a second staircase and mirror it with the first set to make more of a pyramid shape.  As usual, please let me know how your build turns out :)

Tall Crimson Bookshelf

Image
A made a new bookshelf design with crimson themed blocks and decorations. The materials used include stripped crimson wood, barrels, bookshelves, a soul lantern and potted plants. I also added in a crafting table for additional functionality. This build would look create in a nether fortress if you were to convert one into your base. It also works for homes found in crimson wood biomes or those that are nether themed as a whole.  To create another adaptation of this bookshelf try using warped wood instead of crimson. The build would remain the exact same but would be a teal blue colour.  As usual, please let me know how your build turns out :)

Diorite Lava Fireplace

If you are looking to spice up your Minecraft base living room, consider building this fireplace. The build combines smooth diorite, glass, leaves and lava. Add some chairs and/or a table in front to make it more of a living or meeting space. Make sure to be extra careful when placing the lava in survival mode, and always put the leaves on after the lava has been contained in the middle.  The chairs used in the photos are made from smooth diorite slabs and birch trap doors.  Granite, smooth stone and stone bricks will also work well for the fireplace and furniture if any of those materials work better with the design of your base.  As usual, let me know how your build turns out :)

Simple and Modern Berry Planter

Image
This is a super simple yet very modern looking plant display for outdoor areas and yards. All that is required to make this build is black concrete, one grass block, a berry bush, and a lantern.  If you like this design, consider putting more than one side-by-side to create a beautiful wall design. You could also try using other concrete colours. Another interchangeable piece of this build is the berry bush itself. Consider placing in a leaf block, flower, or potted plant to replace the bush. As usual, let me know how your build turns out :)  

Fancy Checkered Plant Shelves

Image
Checkered Shelves are a tasteful way to showcase plants, framed items, or mob heads. All that is required to make this build is white and black concrete and the item you wish to showcase in the middle. I used a dark oak sapling and cactus because they are some of my favourite potted plants and they look striking against the concrete blocks. Feel free to get creative with this layout and add more squares into the mix. You could even make an entire wall with this pattern of shelves!  As usual, let me know how your build turns out :)
