How to build with it
- Mark out 9 × 9 blocks and lay the Bamboo Mosaic floor first.
- Put Stripped Dark Oak Log on every corner and every 4 or 5 blocks along long walls, then fill between them with Mushroom Stem.
- Roof it with Deepslate Tiles stairs and slabs. Keep the whole build within 8 blocks of height, roof included.
- Give Block of Stripped Bamboo one job, such as a band under the roof or frames around doors and windows, and repeat it.
- Add Cherry Leaves last and use less of it than you think.
Rules for this build
- The roof overhangs the walls by at least one block.
- Add a balcony or a porch.
- Something green grows on it.
Rules keep a build from turning into a box. Follow all three, or roll others in Blockroll.
