Cottage House Minecraft-FULL GUIDE

VERY IMPORTANT: This article is very long so we would recommend you <<CLICK HERE>> to go and watch a full and shorter explanatory video on Cottage House Minecraft ..

hey what’s up guys it’s big tony and in

this video we’re going to be building

this big old cottage house

since this is a bigger build i’m doing

it in two parts the exterior which

you’re currently watching

and then the interior which will be out

soon so i’d appreciate if you take a

second

hit that subscribe button and that way

you can be sure that you won’t miss it

anyways here’s a bit more information

about the build that you may want to

know before starting this project

so as you see here there’s a water wheel

on the left side of the house

it’s really just decorative so you don’t

have to build it but if you do want to

then make sure you’re building next to a

river or you can dig out your own little

stream like i did

also my original design has a stables on

the right side

i didn’t build it here because i ran out

of space but i will show you how to

build it at the end of the video so make

sure you leave room for it

with that being said here’s a list of

the materials that you’ll need and i’ll

also put a written list in the

description

so to begin this build start by placing

chiseled stone bricks following this

layout to build the first layer

and so this is what it should look like

and then we’ll go over to this front

entrance

place four stone brick blocks on each

side

and then an upside down stone brick

stair on each side then we’ll place

another layer of stone breaks across the

top

we’ll go one block back and just place

some spruce planks

and then our spruce doors inside so just

place two spruce doors and then surround

the rest of the trapdoors

[Music]

and then to the left of the door build

up five stone bricks

and five here as well then we’re gonna

start building up this wall but leave a

two by two window on the third and

fourth block up and that’s two blocks

away from the door

place five more and then another two by

two window so it should be two blocks

away from the other window

and two blocks away from the edge next

place campfires on top of both windows

and extinguish them

and place two chains hanging from each

campfire

then place two trap doors at the bottom

of those chains and then from the inside

we’ll play some shutters

so i’m just placing two trapdoors on

each window

next we’ll place some items on the

window sills and the left one i’ll just

place a lantern and on the right one

i’ll place a cake in a flower pot

on the left side here i’ll place a fence

post at the top a chain and then a

lantern on the chain

next we’re going to go with one more

layer of chiseled stone bricks at the

top

so you should have one layer of chiseled

stone bricks at the bottom five layers

of regular stone bricks and then one

more layer of chiseled stone bricks for

a total of seven layers

so next go ahead and fill in these two

walls on the right side and the back

side

following that same pattern so on top of

those chiseled stone bricks place five

more layers of stone bricks and then one

more layer of chiseled stone bricks and

once you’ve done that it should look

like this

again that’s seven layers so one layer

of chiseled stone bricks five layers of

stone bricks and then one more layer of

chiseled stone bricks

for this little part right here build it

up the same way

then when we get to the back side wall

right here we’re gonna have some windows

so fill in the first layer of stone

bricks and for the next level place two

stone bricks skip two and then place

three

skip two again and then place one more

now build this stone brick up an

additional three blocks

then at the top of each of those window

gaps place two upside down stairs so we

should have an arch window like this

then just place another layer of

chiseled stone bricks

so here’s what the spacing should look

like from the inside in case you were

confused

and now for this side which is the left

side just build up five layers of stone

bricks on top of that chiseled stone

brick

and then one more layer of chisel stone

bricks to make a stone brick sandwich

now for this wall which is on the front

left side you can start by filling in

the first layer of stone bricks

then on the next layer we’re gonna have

a two block wide window so place four

blocks on the left side and then your

two block wide window and then five

blocks of stone bricks on the right side

so it’s four then two and then five

now we can start building up the stone

brick just skipping that window gap

then at the top place two upside down

stairs so it’s the same arch windows on

the back side

and finally just place that chiseled

stone brick on top

next go two blocks over from the left

side place a chisel stone brick

skip four and place another and then

build up with stone bricks to the top of

that wall

then place an upside down stair facing

out on each one

with slabs in between place full blocks

here and then two upside down stairs

place two full blocks on each side and

then stone brick walls in between

this will be a little balcony that you

can get up to from the second level

next place a spruce fence on each side

and then two chains on each side hanging

off

then make a little shelf using four

upside down spruce stairs

and on the inside i’m going to make some

shutters out of spruce trap doors

and you can place your trap doors like

this to make both shutters closed if you

want

but you can also use a placeholder block

and place the trapdoors like so to leave

one open

and i think this looks a lot better from

the outside because you get a little

view of the inside

anyway i’m also going to place some

shutters on these back windows and again

you can decide whether you want to have

them open or closed

and also here in the back windows i’m

going to place some items on the

windowsills

let’s start with the flower pot on the

right one and on the left one i’ll place

a lantern in a flower pot with a dead

bush

going back to this front window let’s

place a flower pot with a mushroom and a

lantern

[Music]

now the final step for our stone brick

parts and this is optional but i’m just

going to replace some of these full

blocks with stairs

to make it look like missing bricks and

give it a more rustic vibe

if you want to you can also mix in some

cracked and mossy stone bricks

so i’ll put this on a faster speed now

i’m just going to do this all the way

around the build

so that’s all of our stone brick parts

but before we move on i’ll just do a

quick little fly around so you can see

anything that you might have missed

[Music]

[Music]

so now we’re going to start working on

our upper walls starting with some

spruce planks around the edges

so start one block inwards from the

front side and place spruce planks

across

stopping one block away from the side

we’ll take these spruce planks all the

way across

and place them on top of these crack

stone bricks then stop one block short

and go around this corner one block

inwards

place them on top of these chiseled

stone bricks and you can place some on

this balcony four blocks here

then go around this final corner one

block inwards

so i know that can be a bit confusing so

i’ll just fly around here so you can see

it again

alright so next we’re going to start

placing barrels on top of all those

spruce planks we just placed

and these barrels will basically just be

the trim for the inner walls on our

upper levels

so when you get to right here place two

spruce doors instead of barrels so you

can get out to the balcony

and then two trapdoors on top and these

doors should be in line with the window

down below

and then we’ll just continue our barrels

all the way around these spruce planks

all right now it’s time to actually get

started on our upper walls and we’ll

start with the front side above the door

so place an upside down spruce stair on

the edge skip four and place another

skip four and place another and skip

four more and place one more on the far

side

then place a vertical oak log here and

then go across with horizontal logs

and place another vertical one on this

end and then from either side we’ll

place vertical oak logs in line with

those upside down stairs

and four fence posts in between each one

so it should look like this then we’re

going to build up each of those vertical

logs out by an additional log

with four sideways logs in between each

section

so this is what you should have now and

then we’re going to build up five more

logs on top of each vertical log

[Music]

then place a placeholder block and we’ll

place sideways logs going all the way

across

on the next layer up

so it should look like this and you see

we have these three sections

on the two side sections we’re going to

make diagonal beams using stairs

so just place upside down and normal

stairs going from one corner to the

other

and we’ll repeat this on the other side

just don’t do it in that middle section

so for the middle section on these

horizontal logs place four upside down

stairs

and then we’ll place four fence posts on

each side and four slabs at the top of

those fence posts and then four more

slabs one block back

so we basically have a little shelf here

that will go around our window on the

next level up one block inwards place a

full spruce plank

then place an upside down stair with a

full plank on top and we’ll just

continue going up with this pattern

until you get to the center

and we should be at the center now and

once you get to the center go on the

other side and do the same thing

so these two little diagonal beams or

whatever you call them will meet up in

the center

and just place two blocks on top so

that’s like the outside layer for our

walls and then we’ll build the inside

layer which will be made out of white

terracotta

so go back on the inside here and then

on top of the barrels start by placing a

white terracotta

we’ll build up two levels of this

and on the third level just leave a two

block wide gap right in the center

and that gap will be three blocks tall

so we’ll have a two by three window and

you can just place some glass panes in

there right now

then we’re going to build up our white

terracotta until we get one block below

that sideways log

and then behind that sideways log just

place spruce planks

then above that we’ll follow the same

shape with our white terracotta we’ll

leave it two blocks wide

and three block tall gap for a door

right in the center

so two spruce doors and then two spruce

trap doors on top

i always have a little balcony out there

let’s just finish up the white

terracotta

again following the same shape as those

spruce planks and stairs

now on the balcony we’ll make a little

railing out of oak trap doors

so place two oak trap doors on each side

with four blocks of space in between

then we’ll need some placeholder blocks

so we can place the oak trap doors on

the outside

and just go ahead and flip those and

finally on the shelf below the window

i’m just going to place some leaves

i’m using azalea leaves but you can

really use any leaves

[Music]

all right so that’s our front wall and

i’ll just pause for a second in case you

need to see it again

so next we’re going to go directly

across to this back side and it’s

basically all the exact same the only

difference is this balcony

instead of the balcony we’re going to

have a window so let’s go to the back

side here and we’ll start

with our upside down stairs and we’ll

place a total of four with four blocks

in between each one

next place a vertical log and then

sideways log going all the way across

one more vertical log on the end then

four more logs with four

fence posts in between each one

then we’ll build each of those logs up

by one with sideways logs in between

and then build those vertical logs up by

an additional five

and then one block above and one block

inwards will have a big sideways log

and again we’re gonna have our diagonal

beams using stairs and upside down

stairs on the two outside sections

and then for the inside section four

upside down stairs and then four fence

posts on each side

and then our roof a layer of slabs and

another slabs behind

and then up here you’re just placing

full blocks with an upside down stair in

this pattern until you get to the center

and then we’ll do it again from the

other side so they should meet in the

center

and that’s the outside layer i’ll pause

for a second and then we’ll do the

inside layer which is the terracotta

okay so it’s all the same on the front

side to start so just place the

terracotta all the way across those

barrels two blocks high

then on the third level up of terracotta

we’ll just leave a two block wide window

it’ll be three blocks tall so we’ll

place our glass panes in there

then continue with the terra cotta

and on the level of the sideways log

play spruce planks

then we’ll continue with our terracotta

this time go all the way across on the

first level

then we’ll leave a two by two window in

the next level

just place our glass panes in there and

then finish up the terracotta

so that’s our front and back window but

before you jump down let’s place some

items below that top window

so let’s place a lantern and then a

couple of flower pots with saplings

and on the shelf below this lower window

i’ll place some leaves again

okay so that’s it for this back wall

let’s just pause here for a second

and next we’re going to do this wall

right here and from the front side this

wall is on the right side

so start by just placing a sideways log

all the way across on top of this

chiseled stone bricks

and we’ll place a total of three logs

with four fence posts in between each

one

and we’ll build each vertical log up an

additional five so it should be one

block shorter than those front logs

then place horizontal logs in between

above those fence posts

and at the top too

so now in each of these sections we’re

going to place diagonal beams starting

on this one place a stair upside down

stair and then just keep going with

those stairs and upside down stairs

until you get to the other corner

and we’re going to build this same

diagonal beam in each section just

flipped horizontally each time

[Music]

all right so that’s what all of our

diagonal beams should look like and then

for the inside layer we’re just going to

fill it all in with our terracotta up to

the sideways log

all right so there it is i’ll just pause

for a second in case you need to see it

again

and next we’re going to work on the wall

on the left side start by placing an

upside down stair a total of four of

them with three blocks in between each

one

place a vertical log and then a sideways

log

and one more vertical log on the other

end then we’ll place our logs on top of

those upside down stairs with three

fence posts in between

each one

and then build each of those vertical

logs up by an additional one with

sideways logs in between

next build each vertical log up by an

additional five

and then over one and up one we’ll place

a horizontal log

underneath place three fence gates in

each section

and then above we’re going to place

these full blocks and upside down stairs

just like we’ve been doing

but this time since we have an odd

number of blocks just place two full

blocks when you get to the center

so that’s what our outside details

should look like and now we’ll just go

on the inside layer and build up our

terracotta so build up these first two

layers

then in between each three white section

we’ll have a one wide three tall window

so just place some glass panes in there

and then build up your terracotta around

each window

then at the level of the sideways log

just place your spruce planks

then on the next level place your

terracotta but leave a one block wide

two block tall gap and place some glass

panes in there for a window

and then build up the rest of your

terracotta

now before you jump down let’s play some

items on this little shelf here i’m just

going to place two flower pots with two

different flowers in them

so that’s our left side wall and again

i’ll just pause in case you need to see

it again

next we’ll go over to this back wall

here and this one is pretty simple

just start with our horizontal logs

going across on top of the chiseled

stone bricks

and place a vertical log in the corner

then place three fence posts then two in

a vertical log

then four fence posts another log and

then two more fence posts

next build up each vertical log in

additional one and then sideways logs in

between

and then we’ll build up each of these

vertical logs an additional four so they

should be one block shorter than those

other logs

it’ll place horizontal logs in between

at the top

and on the inside layer place in your

first two layers of terracotta

fill this into the horizontal log and

you can start filling this in except

we’ll have a two by two window in the

center of that four black wide section

so let’s just place some glass panes in

there and then fill up the terracotta to

the horizontal logs

so this is what it should look like from

the outside and i’ll just pause here for

a second

next we’re going to go around to the

front and start doing this front left

side

start by building up seven logs in this

corner

so it should be one block less than that

other log place three horizontal locks

here and then another horizontal line

going across

place three fence posts here and then

place two fence post and a log

skip this four block section where the

balconies and place two more fence posts

in a log

one more log and then two sideways logs

two sideways logs here

three here and then one more vertical

log then we’ll build this log up by an

additional four and two more sideways

logs at the top

let’s make a diagonal beam using upside

down stairs and stairs

then we’ll do the same here so build

this up four and two sideways logs in

between

and then our diagonal beam out of stairs

and upside down stairs

[Music]

place four sideways logs at the top here

and then four fence posts below

on this left fence post i’ll place a

chain and then a lantern

and then for our railing let’s place

fence posts all around here

and then build up an additional three

fence post in each corner for a total of

four

so i need one more

then place fence gates in between to

connect it to the log and in between the

fence posts

so the roof for our balcony will sit

here next place three sideways logs here

and then we’ll do the inside terracotta

build up these first two layers and then

these two

so we’ll just have a one by two window

in the center of that three block wide

section and then on this side just fill

in the terracotta going around the door

and up to the height of those horizontal

logs

okay so that’s all of our upper walls

and now we’re ready for the roof

before we move on to the roof though

i’ll just do another fly around so you

can see anything that you might have

[Music]

missed

so our roof will be made out of cobble

deep slate we’ll start here on our front

side and place the top slab and then

full cobble deep slate blocks on top of

the spruce frame

once you get it to the top just work

your way down

one more block here and then a top slab

and then we’ll place our cobble deep

slate walls on top of all those full

blocks

so we’re gonna place this on top of our

spruce frame and then the rest of the

roof will be made out of stairs

so let’s start here with the top slab

and then a stair on top and from here

we’ll just go up with stairs and upside

down stairs

until you get to the center and then

we’ll do the same thing on the other

side

and on this side again we’ll start with

the top slab and then our stairs and

upside down stairs

until you meet the roof from the other

side of the top in this pattern of

stairs and upside down stairs is

basically what we’ll use to fill in the

entire roof except for what’s above our

spruce frames

so going around to the back side we’re

going to repeat this starting with the

top slab and then full blocks on top of

our spruce frame

then go back down and one more top slab

on the end

and then place walls on top of all those

full blocks

and then we’ll have our stair frame

sticking out by one

and the final frame we have left to do

is on the left side again we’ll start

with our full blocks with the top slab

on each end

and then walls on top of the full blocks

then a slab here and then our stair and

upside down stair frame sticking out by

one

at the top here we’ll just place a slab

and then go back down

and then place all of your upside down

stairs underneath

[Music]

so from here we’re just basically

filling in the rest using our stairs so

start by placing top slabs at the top of

those horizontal logs

and then stairs on top

and from here it’s pretty simple you’re

basically just filling in those stairs

in line with the full blocks until you

fill in the entire roof so we’re gonna

switch over to the third person replay

mod camera and i’m gonna do this on a

faster speed

so one thing to note here the left side

since it’s an odd number of blocks

just place slabs at the top of the frame

oh and one more thing

if you’re going to be following my

interior video then i wouldn’t recommend

placing the upside down stairs

underneath just yet because we might

want to do something different with the

inside

but if you’re not going to be following

my interior then feel free to just place

those upside down stairs underneath

[Music]

all right so there’s just one final

thing for our roof which is a chimney

so go to this corner and go one two and

then on the third one break that

place a cobblestone block there and then

break these three so have a two by two

chimney

and it’ll be built out of a mixture of

cobblestone and stone bricks

so build it up four blocks high

[Music]

and i mean four full blocks there’s the

one that’s cut off by the stairs and

then after that it’s one two three four

then on top play some campfires and

surround them by spruce trap doors

so there’s actually one more thing for

the roof that i nearly forgot

and that is the balcony roof so go over

to the balcony and start by placing two

stairs on each side

then on each side place it upside down

stair and a normal stair

two slabs in between then replace this

slab with a full block on each side

and place a stair next to it

[Music]

then break out these two slabs and place

two upside down stairs on each side

then i’ll place a stair here and one on

the other side and i’m just going to

turn this there so they connect

[Music]

okay so next we’re going to build the

water wheel and like i mentioned at the

beginning it’ll be on the left side so

hopefully you have a river there or you

build your own stream

as you see i don’t have one so i’m just

going gonna dig out a little stream

really quick

next go over to the side here and find

the center

and then on the third block above the

ground place a sideways log going all

the way across the river

then where the log meets the house while

surrounded by stone bricks

on the ladder above the log place two

stairs on each side a full block in

between and a slab on top

and on the other side of the river place

three stone brakes on the bottom and

surrounded by walls but nothing on top

and as for the wheel itself we’re

actually gonna have two wheels there

will be one block of space in between

them and just try to build them in the

center of the river

so the wheel itself is actually pretty

confusing and rather than trying to

explain it which would probably just

confuse you more

i made this little graphic that you can

build it from and just a reminder you’re

building two wheels with one block of

space in between

and once you have your two wheels in

place we’re just going to connect them

using spruce trap doors so on the flat

ends of these stairs we’ll just place a

trapdoor on each one

and then a placeholder block to place

one in between and we’re just gonna do

this on all four sides

or corners of a wheel i don’t know but

yeah do it on all four sides

[Music]

okay so next we’re gonna build the

stables and like i mentioned before i

don’t have enough space to do it here so

i’m going to show you how to build it on

a flat world

so here’s a copy of our house and we’re

just going to fly over here to the right

side

now from the left to the right side go

over four blocks and on the fifth one

place a log and build it up five blocks

high

skip four and build another five block

height log then we’ll fill in the first

three layers with fences

place sideways logs on the fourth level

and then another one on the sixth and

extend that one out by one and then

place four fences in between

place a stair on the end here then we’re

going to skip four blocks and build a

seven block tall log

and another one here against the wall

one block from the top place a sideways

log with fence posts on top then another

sideways lock that extends out by one

with a stair underneath

and then you can fill this in with fence

posts

next go over four blocks and build a

five block tallow clog and then over

four again and do the same

and then a horizontal log that extends

out by one with a stair underneath

another horizontal log one block below

the top with fence posts above

and then fill this in with fence posts

next up in each of these two gaps place

a fence post on each side and then two

fence gates in the middle

[Music]

next on the six block up we’ll place a

horizontal lock

on both sides and one in the back two

then we’ll place three spruce planks

with one on top in the center on each

side

so it’s four planks in an l shape

and we’ll do this on the front two

[Music]

then we’ll start on our roof starting

with a row of top slabs

then another row of slabs then a row of

full blocks

and then a row of bottom slabs with top

slabs underneath

full blocks again and then those bottom

slabs with the top slabs underneath

and our top row will be full blocks and

then we’ll do the same roof on the other

side

[Music]

next we’re going to make the floor for

our staples it’ll be mostly coarse dirt

with some pods around the center and

we’re just going to mix this all in

randomly so it blends with the grass

[Music]

and i’m also gonna have the coarse dirt

spilling out the edges of the stables

and then we’ll go over to the other side

and do the same thing with that coarse

dirt and puzzle

for our final decorations we’ll start by

placing some horses in there

then we’ll add a lantern on a chain on

each side

all right so that’s it for our stables

and now we’ll go back to the other world

for some final details

so let’s start by making a path leading

at the front door using a mix of

cobblestone and mossy cobblestone

and i’m just gonna mix it in with the

grass and make it look random and

[Music]

natural

[Music]

so extend this path out as far as you’d

like to and then we’re just going to add

some stone buttons over the top

and i’m also going to add some

cobblestone and mossy cobblestone around

the river where our waterwheel is

alrighty and now our final decoration

will just be to add some leaves around

the house

and just like i did with those window

shelves i’m using azalea leaves but you

can really use any leaves

[Music]

and i’m also going to add some leaves

hanging from some parts on the second

[Music]

story

so that’s it for the exterior of our big

cottage

thanks for watching guys don’t forget to

subscribe and all that other good stuff

and stay tuned because the interior is

coming soon

you
