Blacksmith forge
Stone brick walls with spruce posts and a dark oak roof, and brick for the chimney and the forge. A magma block in the forge gives the glow without a fire to keep lit.

The blocks
How to build with it
- Mark out 9 × 9 blocks and lay the Cobbled Deepslate floor first.
- Put Spruce Log on every corner and every 4 or 5 blocks along long walls, then fill between them with Stone Bricks.
- Roof it with Dark Oak Planks stairs and slabs. Keep the whole build within 10 blocks of height, roof included.
- Give Bricks one job, such as a band under the roof or frames around doors and windows, and repeat it.
- Add Magma Block last and use less of it than you think.
Rules for this build
- Something sticks up: a chimney, a tower or a spire.
- Leave one side open, like a market stall.
- Frame the door with Bricks.
Rules keep a build from turning into a box. Follow all three, or roll others in Blockroll.
