Building a house in Minecraft

Before talking to you about how to furnish a house in Minecraft, I will give you some tips on how to give a touch of style to the interior of the building. First, you can use solid-colored materials, such as colored concrete, to create walls or floors with a modern tone. You can also use the steps to create raised floors or inlets on the walls, which give the effect of wall shelves.

Alternatively, using wood, you can create a parquet floor or walls with an eye-catching wood effect. Even bricks can be a useful material for the decoration of the interior, giving the house a more rustic style.

In general, I suggest you consult some of my guides dedicated to building houses on Minecraft that can help you choose the most useful materials to use for the realization of your projects, based on your personal tastes. In this regard, you can read my guides on how to build a modern house, a villa, a palace, a castle or even a treehouse.

Furnish a house in Minecraft

If you want to furnish your home in Minecraft, what you have to do is build the objects that can embellish it and make it more comfortable, or those that can be useful for your adventures in this famous video game.

Essential items

Inside a house, the objects you cannot do without are the bed and the trunk. As for the bed, it allows the night hours to pass quickly, in order to pass directly at dawn.

It is also important as it represents the avatar’s respawn point whenever it is defeated by enemies. If you are interested in this object, I advise you to carefully read my guide dedicated to this topic, in which I explain how to make it and how to change its color.

The  Chest, on the other hand, is an indispensable object as it allows you to keep all the resources that you collect during your adventures or the elements that are manufactured with work tools (which I will talk about in the next chapter).

Building a chest is simple: you need 9 units of wooden planks to place on a workbench. When you place a chest, you get one with 27 available slots. By placing two chests side by side, however, a large chest is generated with a maximum capacity of 54 slots.

Work tools

In Minecraft, there are countless tools for processing, manufacturing or enchanting objects: in the next paragraphs, I will show you a list of all those you can build, illustrating their usefulness and the resources for their realization.

• Workbench: it is a tool that allows the manufacture of a large number of objects. It is one of the first tools to be built to make more complex objects. To craft one, open your inventory and use the Fabrication slots to place 4 units of Wooden Planks.
• Furnace: it has the purpose of working the basic resources to create new ones, such as the iron ingots that are obtained from raw iron, but it is also useful for the preparation of food. It can also be used for the reverse process, that is, to merge objects into basic resources. To function, it needs a fuel, such as lava (best of all), coal or wood. To craft a Furnace, you must place 9 units of Crushed Stone on a workbench.
• Anvil: it is a tool that aims to repair worn objects and rename them. In addition, it can be useful to add bonuses, in order to enchant objects, through the use of Enchanted Books. To create an Anvil, you must place 3 units of Iron Block and 4 units of Iron Ingot on a workbench.
• Spell table: allows you to create spells to be applied to books, which can then be used in anvils, or to weapons or tools, to improve their characteristics. A spell table is created using 4 units of Obsidian, 2 units of Diamonds and 1 unit of Book in a workbench.
• Melting furnace: it is a tool similar to the Furnace, but it is faster in the processing of objects, at a higher cost of using fuel. To craft one, you need 1 unit of Furnace, 5 units of Iron Ingots and 3 units of Polished Stone in a workbench.
• Cartography bench: it is used exclusively for the realization of extended maps or to make copies of them. A Cartography Bench is obtained in a Workbench, using 4 units of Wooden Planks and 2 units of Paper. If you want to learn more about how this tool works, I suggest you read my guide on how to create a map in Minecraft.
• Stonecutter: it is an interesting tool, which allows you to create special decorations and cuts on resources such as stone, quartz or bricks. The objects obtained from this tool can be used to decorate rooms with a touch of style. You can craft a stonecutter in a workbench using 3 units of stone and 1 unit of iron ingot.
• Grindstone: it is a tool that allows you to repair weapons and tools and to remove any enchantments applied to them. To craft it, you need  2 units of wooden planks, 2 units of staff and 1 unit of stone slab in a workbench.
• Frame: if before it could have been complex to apply textures to banners, through specific combinations of resources in the workbench, using the Frame this operation is much simpler, as the textures are already listed, ready to use. To create a frame, you need 2 units of string and 2 units of wooden planks.
• Smoker: similar to the Furnace, but only allows you to cook food at a higher speed. It too requires a fuel to function and can be crafted in a workbench using 1 unit of Furnace and 4 units of Wood.
• Alembic: it is an object whose sole purpose is to create potions. Can be crafted using 3 units of Crushed Stone and 1 unit of Blaze Rod.
• Cauldron: it is an object that has different purposes, such as that of collecting liquids. In addition, it can be used to whiten a banner or to create shades of colors to dye leather armor. To make a Cauldron, you need to place  7 units of Iron Ingot on a workbench.
• Campfire: it is a useful object to illuminate an environment, perhaps by building a fireplace and placing it inside. It also has the purpose of cooking food or creating smoke signals by placing hay under it. To create a Campfire, you need 3 units of Wood Log, 1 unit of Coal and 3 units of Staff.

Decorations

In addition to the objects I told you about in the previous chapters, you can create others with a purely ornamental purpose. For example, you can make Rugs, using 2 units of Wool, which you can place on the floor to embellish it.

Another decorative object is the Painting, which generates a random pattern inside and can occupy up to a 4 × 4 area of the wall. To create one, you must place 8 units of Staff and 1 unit of Wool on a workbench.

If you want to add plants instead, you can use the Flowerpot, to plant flowers and bushes. A Flowerpot can be created using just 3 units of Brick.

In case you want to fill the rooms of your home with a little music, you can make a turntable, through which you can play the music discs you find during your adventures. To carry out this project, you will need  8 units of Wooden Planks and 1 unit of Diamond.

Finally, you can unleash your imagination by making real objects through all the resources of Minecraft. For example, you can build a television or a working shower.

Mod to furnish a house in Minecraft

If you want to decorate your home with many other objects that you can’t find in Minecraft, you can rely on MrCrayfish’s Furniture Mod: it is an add-on that allows you to add many decorative elements and appliances to your home.

If you are interested in using this mod, you must first download the free Minecraft Forge software, available for free on this website. After reaching the link I provided, click on Windows Installer to download the installation file of the program in question.

I remind you that, for everything to work correctly, the version of Minecraft, the mod and Minecraft Forge must necessarily be the same. After downloading the file, double-click on it and press OK in the on-screen box to complete the software installation.

Subsequently, download MrCrayfish’s Furniture Mod by reaching this link, which refers to the CurseForge website, and press the Download button, which you find at the top, to download the latest version of the mod in JAR format. Once this is done, move this file to the mod folder found in C: \ Users [name] \ AppData \ Roaming.minecraft. In case it is not present, create it manually. Don’t know how to do it? I advise you to consult this guide of mine.

Well, we’re almost there: start Minecraft, click on the ▲ icon next to the Play button and select the Forge profile. Press, therefore, on the Play button, to start Minecraft with mod support.

In Minecraft Creative mode, you can find all the mod items in a special inventory tab, called MrCrayfish’s Furniture Mod, by pressing the E key. Now all you have to do is choose the object to use, drag it to the quick bar and place it anywhere in your home. Easy, right?
