One of the first things players build in Minecraft is their house. With an open sandbox survival game like Minecraft, the number of building possibilities can be overwhelming. Especially when this construction is the future base for all the player's adventures. To broaden all the possible options, we'll cover some of the most popular concepts that can be changed for each player individually.
The Medieval Cottage
