Layout notes

  • The bottom edge of every grid is the front-door side.
  • Each colored square represents one block at the active height.
  • Empty squares stay open; do not fill the inside of wall layers.
  • Equal-count material swaps work in both Java and Bedrock.

Build the layers in order

Finish one grid before moving upward. Use the buttons or keyboard focus controls, then download any active layer as SVG.

How to build the 9×9 Oak House

  1. Step 1Outline the 9×9 foundation and fill the 7×7 floor inside it.
  2. Step 2Set the four corner posts, then frame the centered front doorway.
  3. Step 3Add symmetrical windows on the second wall layer and finish the wall plate.
  4. Step 4Stack the five roof tiers, checking both eaves after every row.

Make the plan work in your world

Tip 1

A central rug makes the wide floor easier to divide into zones.

Tip 2

Add barrels under the windows to gain storage without blocking the path.

Tip 3

The porch can be extended by two blocks later without changing the core plan.
