Rustic block palettes
Working buildings in plain wood and rough stone: cabins, barns, huts and outposts.
Desert outpostSmooth sandstone for calm walls, acacia posts and a red sandstone roof for contrast, and glazed terracotta as the one patterned block. Flat roofs and open sides suit the heat.Snowy cabinSpruce planks and logs read warm against snow, and a deepslate tile roof stays dark enough to see from far away. Cobblestone for the chimney and the base.Mangrove swamp hutMud brick walls held up by dark mangrove logs on stilts, under a red mangrove roof. Muddy roots make a good trim where the hut meets the water.Medieval tavernTimber framing: light plaster walls between dark oak logs, a spruce roof and a cobblestone base. Barrels by the door tell people what the building is.Jungle treehouseJungle planks and logs that blend into the trees around them, a dark oak roof that shows through the leaves, and bamboo for railings and trim.Fishing hutPale birch boards with dark spruce posts, a spruce roof and an oak dock. Cyan terracotta looks like faded paint on the trim, and dried kelp blocks are piled by the door.Red barnBarn-red terracotta with white stripped pale oak trim at the corners and around the big doors, a dark oak roof and a cobblestone footing. Hay bales are the only detail it needs.Blacksmith forgeStone brick walls with spruce posts and a dark oak roof, and brick for the chimney and the forge. A magma block in the forge gives the glow without a fire to keep lit.
