The blocks

How to build with it

  1. Mark out 7 × 7 blocks and lay the Spruce Planks floor first.
  2. Put Mangrove Log on every corner and every 4 or 5 blocks along long walls, then fill between them with Mud Bricks.
  3. Roof it with Mangrove Planks stairs and slabs. Keep the whole build within 9 blocks of height, roof included.
  4. Give Muddy Mangrove Roots one job, such as a band under the roof or frames around doors and windows, and repeat it.
  5. Add Mangrove Leaves last and use less of it than you think.

Rules for this build

  1. Part of the build sits on stilts or a slope.
  2. Add a balcony or a porch.
  3. Something green grows on it.

Rules keep a build from turning into a box. Follow all three, or roll others in Blockroll.
