When playing Minecraft, you can go without a farm or a mob grinder, but you absolutely cannot do without a home to live in. No matter how simple or inconspicuous, a house is an essential facility to ensure you can play the game normally. However, ordinary houses are certainly not enough for Minecraft players. So what kind of special houses do players build in the game? Let’s take a look together.
Tree House
Tree houses are the most common type of special house. You just need to climb up a tree using ladders or vines and build a small hut up there. Tree houses have many advantages. Besides being aesthetically pleasing, they can also block monsters to a certain extent. We only need to worry about spiders, which can climb.
Sky Island
Many players choose to build their houses in the sky and light up every area of the sky island with torches. This way, they can perfectly block all monsters except for Phantoms. The only downside might be that going out is a bit inconvenient.
Woodland Mansion
If you ask what the largest naturally generated structure in Minecraft is, it has to be the Woodland Mansion. Such an imposing and luxurious villa—I believe some players must be tempted by it. So, have you ever tried clearing out the mobs inside the mansion and converting it into your own home?
Mushroom House
Giant mushrooms generate in Mushroom Fields, Swamp, and Dark Forest biomes. By breaking the stem of a giant mushroom, leaving only the huge cap, and then modifying it a bit with blocks, a beautiful mushroom house is created. It saves a lot of time and effort.
Hidden House
Besides fending off monsters, some houses are built with the purpose of avoiding discovery by other players. The well in a village is an excellent spot for this. Building a house there is incredibly inconspicuous.
One-Block Tall House
Version 1.14 added the crawling/swimming mechanic, which allows us to enter spaces that are only one block high. Using this feature, we can build a house that is just one block tall. Living inside it is extremely safe—no monster can attack you at all.
