Step 2

This is the moment you've been waiting for. It's time to begin construction of your house. Try to construct some wooden stairs where you want the entrance to your house to be. This will make it easer to get in and out during construction.

Step 3

Next you'll want to build some wooden supports. Gather supplies to get started on a few of them.

Obtain 16 Timber (0/16)
Obtain 24 Wooden Sticks (0/24)

Step 4

You'll want to build wooden supports under your house. This will give you a solid foundation and a level place to build a floor. Start from your stairs and construct supports in the shape you want your house to take.

Place 4 Wooden Support (0/4)
Build 4 Wooden Support (0/4)

Step 5

If you keep walking on those supports you're going to twist your ankle. You'll need more supplies to make wooden floors. You'll find that building a house takes a lot of wood.

Obtain 24 Plank (0/24)

Step 6

You can start constructing floors on top of the supports. To attach the floors to the top of the supports you may need to turn off compound building mode. This prevents you from overlaping some blocks in the same space. Press Letter Z to toggle compound building mode on/off or hold Left Shift to disable it momentarily.

Step 7

Those floors are looking good! It's time to figure out how to put up some walls. Make sure you have enough supplies first.

Obtain 2 Log (0/2)
Obtain 2 Wooden Sticks (0/2)

Step 8

Equip the wall available in the general search (Letter G). Most walls only rotate around their vertical axis but this one can also be rotated on another axis. You'll want to place walls on top of the floors. This will require compound building mode be turned on so that the walls and floors can share the same space. Go ahead and try building a few. Make sure you don't block access to your stairs!

Place 2 Log Wall (0/2)
Build 2 Log Wall (0/2)
