In the weekly comments on building tutorials, adventurers occasionally mention hoping to see some Chinese-style architecture tutorials.
Coinciding with today’s solar term “Major Snow,” I’ve brought you this simple Chinese-style tea pavilion~
The warm tea is ready, adventurers, come in and warm up while taking a break~
Chinese-Style Tea Pavilion
First, on the ground, outline a 15*15 area using Stone Brick Stairs (the wool in the image is only for size reference).
Then, pave the ground completely with Stone Bricks to complete the foundation.
At the positions shown below, build 8 pillars 5 blocks high using Stripped Spruce Logs.
Then build the crossbeams as shown below. Note that one side only needs one crossbeam.
On the outer side of the top of each pillar, wrap with upside-down Spruce Stairs.
Then, as shown below, build 8 more pillars 5 blocks high using Stripped Spruce Logs. With this, the main framework is complete.
Now, let’s start building the roof. First, place a circle of Smooth Red Sandstone on top of the inner pillars. Then, place a circle of Smooth Red Sandstone Stairs on the outermost crossbeams. Next, use Smooth Red Sandstone Slabs to extend two blocks outward from the bottom of the stairs, surrounding the building.
At the four corners shown below, place 9 Smooth Red Sandstone Slabs each.
Break the slabs that were added after the raised sections just now. As shown in the direction below (the high side attaches to the protruding part), place Smooth Red Sandstone Stairs.
At the protruding part of each corner, raise it slightly more using Smooth Red Sandstone Slabs as shown below. The main body of the simple upturned eaves is now done~
Then, as shown below, wrap the edges with Dark Oak Slabs to enhance the effect of the upturned eaves.
Add another circle of Smooth Red Sandstone Stairs upward and inward on the innermost circle inside. The effect after adding is shown below.
Use Dark Oak Stairs to add the sloped roof framework in the empty interior part, and fill the roof with Smooth Red Sandstone Stairs.
Fill the roof ridge beam with Dark Oak Slabs. Simply decorate both ends of the ridge beam with Dark Oak Stairs.
Fill the triangular empty areas on both sides of the sloped roof with White Wool. Don’t forget to use Smooth Red Sandstone to fill the gaps between the wool and the eaves~
Fill the left and right sides of the house (the side with only corner pillars is the front) with Jungle Wood Trapdoors and Acacia Doors.
Decorate the back of the house with Quartz Stairs as shown below, and plant Bamboo inside to create scenery.
Fill the three inner walls facing the back with White Wool. Open one 3-block high window on each wall, decorated with a combination of Jungle Wood Trapdoors and Acacia Doors.
The inner door decoration is relatively simple. First, build a crossbeam using Stripped Spruce Logs one block below the top of the pillars. Place upside-down Smooth Red Sandstone Stairs below the crossbeam as a lintel. Finally, place Acacia Doors and add some decorations.
Add red lanterns made of Redstone Blocks + Redstone Lamps under the four corners of the eaves, and the building is done~
The decorations and interior furnishings can be arranged freely according to your preference, creating a more leisurely atmosphere~
Major Snow has arrived, and the weather is getting colder. Adventurers, come have a sip of warm tea before you set off on your adventures! Stay warm~
