7×7 Starter House Blueprint

A one-room first-night house with a stone base, oak frame, usable corners, and a steep roof that gives the small footprint more character.

Best for a first permanent bed, crafting corner, furnace, and four starter chests.

How to build the 7×7 Starter

  1. Step 1Mark a 7×7 outside square and build the stone foundation shown in Layer 1.
  2. Step 2Fill the five-block-wide interior floor before adding the corner logs.
  3. Step 3Raise three wall courses, keeping the centered door and side windows open.
  4. Step 4Build each roof tier one block inward until the center ridge closes.

Make the plan work in your world

Tip 1

Place the bed along a side wall so the center stays clear.

Tip 2

Swap cobblestone for deepslate only if you already have enough; the counts stay the same.

Tip 3

Use upside-down stairs over the door to break up the flat front wall.
