Hi Guys!
I'm starting a topic and basically its a guide to Minecraft roofs.
Basically, i will update this topic once a week with a new design.
The current roof designs are based on designs on the Minecraft wiki.
As time passes, i will add unique new roof designs.
To be updated, be sure to subscribe to my YouTube Channel.

This roof type may be referred to as a parapet roof. around it. Always try to use different block types for a roof border. You can use slabs, or backwards steps, forming a gutter, or add a border of blank signs all the way round the building. The only thing you shouldn't do is to just use the same materials as for the rest of the building.

Terraces may be large or small, covered or open, or a mixture of the two. A balcony may be very similar to some terrace designs, but it is not part of a roof, and the balcony may or may not have a roof covering over it; as a rule of thumb, the area under a balcony will also be outdoors, whereas the area under a terrace tends to be indoors.

Another way to merge roof styles is to use a gable roof for part of the height of a roof, and then switch to hipped for the remainder. This produces two variant roof types, the half-hipped roof and the Dutch gable or gablet roof, depending on which part uses which style. For a half-hipped roof, you can 'switch style' at any point, producing a mostly gable roof with a very small hipped area, or mostly hipped. This half-hipped roof image shows 3 rows of gable roof and 2½ rows of hipped roof above it (including the layer of slabs at the roof peak). Note how these buildings are significantly larger than the NPC village buildings, and yet if they were much smaller their variant roof styles would be difficult to recognise.

A shed or sloped roof is sloped in one direction only. This design is rarely used as the main roof on inhabited buildings, although it may be seen on part of such a building. If it is a building's sole roof it is more likely to be found on cheap, simple or utilitarian buildings such as sheds, animal houses, outhouses or storage barns.

A gable roof, also known as a pitched or peaked roof, is an inverted 'V'. This roof design is common in the villages produced by Minecraft's terrain generator, and is useful for small buildings. A building of this size integrates well with village buildings.

A saltbox roof is a type of gable roof where one slope is much longer than the other. Buildings with this roof type quite often have two storeys at the front and one at the back; adding a lean-to back roof to an existing structure in this manner is a simple way to extend a building. The front and back slopes of a saltbox roof may have the same pitch.

Roof Design 7 : Clerestory roof

A clerestory window is a window too high to see out of which lets light in to a building. Hence clerestory roof is a generic term referring to a roof shaped to include clerestory windows. This roof shape may also be referred to as a half-monitor roof.

A hipped roof (or hip roof) is sloped in both directions. There is far less roof volume (for an attic) available under a hipped roof. Placed on a square building, a hipped roof produces a distinctive pyramid-shaped roof.

The Dutch gable is a hipped roof with a (usually) small gable at the top. It's very common to put a small window in the gable part, but in this image we have used wooden planks for clarity.
