How to build with it
- Mark out 11 × 15 blocks and lay the Birch Planks floor first.
- Put Light Gray Concrete on every corner and every 4 or 5 blocks along long walls, then fill between them with White Concrete.
- Roof it with Polished Andesite stairs and slabs. Keep the whole build within 9 blocks of height, roof included.
- Give Stripped Oak Log one job, such as a band under the roof or frames around doors and windows, and repeat it.
- Add Light Blue Stained Glass last and use less of it than you think.
Rules for this build
- Leave one side open, like a market stall.
- Put something on the roof: a garden, a lookout, a flag.
- Walls sit on at least 2 different depths.
Rules keep a build from turning into a box. Follow all three, or roll others in Blockroll.
