How to build with it
- Mark out 9 × 11 blocks and lay the Gravel floor first.
- Put Dark Oak Log on every corner and every 4 or 5 blocks along long walls, then fill between them with Mossy Stone Bricks.
- Roof it with Mossy Cobblestone stairs and slabs. Keep the whole build within 12 blocks of height, roof included.
- Give Cracked Stone Bricks one job, such as a band under the roof or frames around doors and windows, and repeat it.
- Add Moss Block last and use less of it than you think.
Rules for this build
- Something green grows on it.
- The roof is not symmetrical.
- Include a round or curved shape somewhere.
Rules keep a build from turning into a box. Follow all three, or roll others in Blockroll.
