Hey guys, welcome to another blog!
Hey guys,
Today i'm going to be showing you how to build a medieval house, dbrack style! Now these days anything with a bit of wood and logs in it is labeled a medieval house but about 90% of them are just rubbishy wooden boxes! A real medieval house should have lots of detail, various block types and on the most part a pointy roof !! so without further ado here is my tutorial on making a medieval house! :)

Step 1

Step 2
Next lay out your beams for the walls on the ground floor! ive made the cross beams go sideways for a nice effect!
The beams are 5 blocks high and run the length of the stone!

Step 3

Step 4
next we move on to the beams for the next floor. This next floor will expand out 1 giving you more space, this means your chimney will bend as show. The beam holding the roof up is 5 tall. (if its not obvious to you look atnext step! :)

Step 5

Step 6
Next up is the roof. A lot of people choose a straight diagonal for roofs but ,as your can see by the beams, i prefer to make it more of a steep incline, which is more true to medieval buildings. On this design i have only ever used wooden stairs and blocks for roofing however for the sake of this blog i will try out some more block types. Remember to add in some more upside down steps on the ends to make it look slightly thicker!
Wooden planks!

Yellow wool (thatch)!
