Minecraft house ideas and designs
YouTuber Folli built a beautiful starter home using resources from the new biome in The Wild Updates if you want to settle there. It’s a tiny, cozy, rustic house that seems like the ideal forward base to construct far from your primary residence, to ease life a little.
Simple Wooden Survival House Simple Wooden Survival House by
Even the best Minecraft seeds could build a starter home as beautiful as this wooden one. Although it is constructed using more conventional oak and birch wood, the addition of fences, logs, planks, slabs, and trapdoors gives the structure a lot of variety and texture (even without the use of Minecraft texture packs), making it a much more appealing starter home than the majority of others you’re likely to find. You can thank YouTuber SheepGG for this particular build.
Simple Underground House Simple Underground House by
Another nice compact build from Folli, this Minecraft house is sunk into the ground, with stairs leading up onto the surface at each of the cardinal directions. Its small but stylish, with plenty of room for expansion downwards if youd like to take this design as inspiration for a slightly larger house. Perhaps a ladder that leads down into a more expansive storage area would be a welcome addition?
Larger Underground House Larger Underground House by
YouTuber ItsMarloe assembled an unusual and striking clover-shaped base with a glass roof that lies flush with the ground in an effort to build the ultimate underground house. The outer areas have enough room for farmland, enchantment, sleeping, and anything else you might want to do in your home. The central circle is for storage. It even has a secret room containing a Nether Portal.
Fantasy Mansion Fantasy Mansion by
If youre after inspiration for a slightly larger base, then take a look at this marvellous fantasy mansion from YouTuber BigTonyMC. This painstakingly crafted manor is made from logs and stone bricks, but the real strength is in the little details. The chains and lanterns, the flora creeping up the walls, the shutters made from trapdoors, and the excellent clock faces in the towers all combine to make this house a real feast for the eyes.
Japanese Pagoda-Style House Japanese Pagoda-Style House by
This time, SheepGG introduces us to a somewhat unique type of residence: a striking and attractive Japanese pagoda house. This is a fantastic build with intriguing layerings of wooden slabs and soft lighting provided by lanterns and redstone lamps, even if you ignore the magnificent cherry blossom trees on the outskirts made from pink and white wool. And if you install one of the best Minecraft shaders, or ray tracing, depending on how powerful your PC is, the lighting looks even better.
Mountain-Side House Mountain-Side House by
If youre after another home that blends faultlessly into the landscape, then you can use this lovely mountainside house by JUNS MAB Architecture tutorial as inspiration. The two glass circles provide a lovely look into the small idyllic home from the outside, as well as allowing all that lovely natural sunlight into the home during the day.
3-Floor White Container House 3-Floor White Container House by
This lovely, stylish 3-tier modern house design comes from YouTuber ManDooMiN, and is perfect for players who want an achievable yet striking and beautiful house with lots of modern touches to set it apart from the more traditional rustic Minecraft house aesthetic.
Modern House With Pool Modern House With Pool by
For a more traditional modern mansion-style house, YouTuber IrieGenie has put together a lovely modern house design, complete with pool out front. The materials required are far from cheap, being largely made from Quartz, Concrete, and Granite as well as the cheaper Stone and Sandstone blocks – but the results are exquisite.
Large Japanese House Large Japanese House by
Folli is back with an incredibly comprehensive 90 minute video showing you how to put together a fabulously intricate house inspired by Japanese architecture. Prismarine blocks are used liberally to create the roofing, and provides a striking contrast against the dark wooden walls.
1 Luxury Modern House Luxury Modern House by
Heres another beautiful modern house design by YouTuber OSHACRA Though the primary materials are quartz and concrete, theyve also made great, creative use of dark oak wood, fences, and a layer of grass on the rooftops to add tonnes of depth and character to the build.
1 Wooden Starter House Wooden Starter House by
If you want your first survival home to have more of a cabin-y vibe, then YouTuber WiederDude has put together a quaint and compact starter house made from oak and birch wood. Its amazing how powerful the simple fence can be in elevating an otherwise very straightforward home, isnt it?
1 Hobbit Hole Hobbit Hole by
Grandeur and scale isnt for everyone, and YouTuber Goldrobins Hobbit Hole house is certainly a good shout for players who want a compact starter home where everything is in reach without having to move much at all. For full effect youll need to find a good forest-y hill for the Hobbit Hole to poke out from, of course.
1 Pink Modern House Pink Modern House by
Sometimes all thats needed to make a house look great is a good unified colour scheme. The above modern home was built by YouTuber Kam The Builder, and features carpeted floors, and open-plan kitchen and dining area, and a whole heck of a lot of pink both inside and out.

Lets face it, pink is hot. Particularly when combined with white, glass, and wood in the corerct quantities.

1 Survival Starter House Survival Starter House by
Zaypixels lovely little starter house is made from nothing more complicated than Spruce and Oak wood, Glass, and a little bit of Deepslate (which you can easily substitute for Cobblestone if youd prefer). The finished product is an easy to build but very idyllic looking house that would look perfect in the middle of a lush flower forest.
1 Multi-Story Survival House Multi-Story Survival House by
In stark contrast to the previous compact house, next up is this towering home built by JUNS MAB Architecture. This home looks like it was built to be the ultimate survival base of operations, with multiple floors for all your needs, and carefully crafted and bordered windows that ensures the build is a striking on the horizon for any player who approaches your home.
1 Large Farmhouse Large Farmhouse by
The wonderful modular raised design of its tiny square farms elevates this exquisite farmhouse, created once more by JUNS MAB Architecture, above most other Minecraft farmhouses. Additionally, there is plenty of space inside the foundations for future expansion, if desired. If you wanted, it could even contain a mineshaft that went all the way to diamond level.
1 Large Farmhouse 2 Large Farmhouse 2 by
Zaypixel is great at creating really idyllic-looking scenes, and this large two-story farmhouse is now exception. A combination of White Wool, Wood, and Stone Bricks makes this a fairly simple build in terms of materials, but details such as the vines growing up the sides, the flowers around the base of the house, and the lanterns hanging from the edges of the roof all turn this farmhouse into one most definitely worth living in.
Fairytale Cottage Fairytale Cottage by
This lovely brick-roofed fairytale cottage from BigTonyMC really feels like it could house either the innocent protagonist or the seemingly pleasant but actually pure evil villain that youre likely to find in most fables. This build gives off effortless charm, and is the perfect inspiration for anyone who wants to give their home more of a fairytale feel.
2 Red Roof House Red Roof House by
With this next house, YouTuber YalChu used Nether Brick to create a lovely and eye-catching red roofed home that is bound to provide great inspiration for lots of aspiring builders. Its a compact creation surrounded by a stone and iron bar fence, with a small but mighty garden and a compact but stylish interior.

For those of you who want to set up base surrounded by bark and leaves, this large chunky treehouse from YouTuber Shock Frost is a great starting point for inspiration.

2 Jungle Treehouse Jungle Treehouse by
DiddiHD has put together another treehouse build, this one even larger and located in the middle of a jungle. Its much more sporadic with the placement of its living areas, which gives it a really nice organic look, as though the house has grown over time along with the tree.
2 Pirate House Pirate House by
Another creative house built by DiddiHD, this one flies the infamous black and white skull and crossbones of piracy. This pirate base is made almost entirely from various kinds of wood, but the intricacy of its layout and structure provides a lot of hidden depth and complexity.
2 Wizard House Wizard House by
Zaypixel is back, this time with the ideal home for a wizened and powerful wizard. This wizard tower home made from stone bricks, spruce wood, and red brick roofing looks as though it has stood for millenia. The perfect build for someone who wants a tall, austere, characterful tower to call their home.
2 Witch House Witch House by
For players who want to channel their inner occultist and make some Minecraft potions, YouTuber PlatinumThief has constructed a squat and incredibly eerie-looking witch house. PlatinumThief transitions from wizardry to witchcraft. For players looking to begin their own Minecraft adventure in a new world, this is a very easily replicable house, with the exception of the prismarine roof, which might cause survival players a little trouble. Just be sure to locate a nice swamp to set up shop in.
2 Japanese House Japanese House by
Japanese-style architecture is so wonderfully distinctive and appealing to the eye, its no wonder so many players want to live in these sorts of houses. YouTuber BlueBits has you covered with a lovely spacrious Japanese-style home which makes use of a variety of interesting block types and doodads, from acacia slabs to dark oak signs, to create a very detailed and good-looking house for any Minecraft player to emulate.
2 Fantasy House Fantasy House by
The aptly named Minecraft Fantasy Builds channel put together a video on how to build their grand fantasy house from start to finish. The roofing is particularly good on this build in my opinion. I love the archway balcony peeking out over the top garden. It looks like the perfect place to just relax awhile and gaze out at the landscape all around you.
2 Large Survival House Large Survival House by
Folli has built a massive survival house primarily out of oak wood and other simple-to-gather materials for those who want as much space as possible for their main base of operations without making house-building an impossible task. Despite this, he still managed to make it look like an impressive, opulent landmark that is sure to catch everyone’s attention on a multiplayer server.
Suburban House Suburban House by
Rizzials easy to follow video walkthrough shows you how to put together a picturesque suburban house, complete with attached garage.

Theres nothing particularly fancy going on here – just a well-designed little house brimming with charm. Sometimes less is more.

The final Folli build featured on this list is, surprisingly, my favourite. Its far less grandiose than many of the homes above, but I just love the design of this wide wooden house with the staircase leading up and over the middle, separating the taller half from the shorter and doubling as a nice balcony on the top floor. Im stealing this design for my next Minecraft house for sure.
