Hello, this is an easy to follow tutorial of how to build a classic Minecraft Viking style house.



Before you start you will need to find a world (I recommend any biome with snow) to start your build.



Step 1:



Layout the first level of your house using spruce logs for structure and stone brick for the foundation.

Step 2:



Build up the spruce logs to the desired level and place cobble stone 1 block behind the logs, leaving space for windows. Alternatively you could use stone brick, wooden planks, wool, snow, or stone for the walls.

Step 3:



Place the spruce logs along the existing logs, overhanging the wall by 1 block, as shown in the picture.

Step 4:



For a second level, place wool (or whatever material you want) 1 block behind the horizontal logs. On top of the wool, place more spruce logs.

Step 5:



Viking houses had steep pointed roofs to keep the snow off, so that is how I have created my roofs. Just place wooden stairs on the lowest part of your roof, then a wooden block, then stairs again, as seen in the picture below.

Step 6:



Once your roof is complete, you can fill in the space between the walls and the roof with a pattern of wooden logs and wool. Use any design you want.

Step 7:



On the tips of your roof, use a combination of wooden slabs, stairs and blocks for a decorative piece.

Step 8:



Adding attic windows adds more interest to the otherwise dull roof.

Step 9:



Flower baskets and wooden shutters give the house a bright and welcoming look. Place grass blocks on the wooden logs of the second level, traps doors on the sides and a stair block in the middle. Fill the flower baskets with flowers, saplings, or grass.

Your Viking style house in now complete! Additionally, you could add trees, shrubs, farmland and roads for a more realistic look.
