The blocks

How to build with it

  1. Mark out 7 × 9 blocks and lay the Gravel floor first.
  2. Put Stripped Mangrove Log on every corner and every 4 or 5 blocks along long walls, then fill between them with White Terracotta.
  3. Roof it with Dark Oak Planks stairs and slabs. Keep the whole build within 10 blocks of height, roof included.
  4. Give Mossy Stone Bricks one job, such as a band under the roof or frames around doors and windows, and repeat it.
  5. Add Cherry Leaves last and use less of it than you think.

Rules for this build

  1. A path leads up to the door.
  2. Everything is symmetrical, except one thing.
  3. The roof overhangs the walls by at least one block.

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