There are few thingsMinecraftdoesn’t offer to its players. With nearly infinite andunique worlds, there are options to either stick with the classic survival experience or just turn on the cheats, switch to creative mode, and build away. With more blocks and variety on the way, the options are bound to expand.
However, building in the game isn’t always easy. A lot of it requires thinking outside of the box and using blocks in a creative way to simulate structures. While everyone has their own style, it’s always nice to get inspiration from other builders. Here aregreatMinecrafthouse ideasto inspire players in their next survival or creative game.

Updated on January 10th, 2022 by Russ Boswell:It’s 2022 and Minecraft is chugging along stronger than ever thanks to its Latest Caves and Cliffs update. Players are hopping back into Minecraft and starting entirely new worlds to experience new and exciting features. With all the new and returning players jumping into the game, many are looking for some unique and detailedMinecraft house ideas. Thankfully, there are tons ofMinecraft house ideasonline, with many featuring detailed tutorials and some great blueprints. To better showcase some of the coolestMinecraft house ideasto spring up as a product of Minecraft Caves and Cliffs, the following list has been updated to include even more entries.
26Hobbit Hole Storage Or Home
One of the toughest things to handle in Minecraft is storage. Players will amass so much loot and crafting materials as they progress through their survival world that they will need a myriad of chests to store it all. Thankfully, there are even some builds out there with storage in mind, like this one from Youtuber TheMythicalSausage. It takes the concept of an “underground storage” and amps it up to eleven. This design could even be used for a base, combination of the two, or anything else that players can dream up.
It’s simplistic enough for many ot build in a survival world but also maintains enough detail to be visually stunning, especially from the outside. It can be cut practically into any hillside, giving players a range of biomes to use it in. This is the perfect build for those that are looking to add their own personal touches while still starting out with a solid frame of reference.
25Small Mountain Home
One of the best parts of Minecraft’s new Caves and Cliffs update are the expansive mountain ranges that now spread rampant through newly generated worlds. These high peaks give players an amazing view of the surrounding areas and can be pretty exciting to build within, especially if players can manage to build a house that “looks and feels” as if it belongs atop a towering mountain.
Those that are just starting out in a Mountain biome and need a fresh (and fairly simple) home should check out this design from Youtuber ItsMarloe. It’s the perfect starter base for those that want to spread roots high atop the clouds. Its small size keeps players from spending hours grinding out the necessary materials in Survival Mode and ItsMarloe still manages to pack in an impressive nine barrels for storage by using them as flooring. It’s a genius design that includes everything a player needs to survive while simultaneously looking like an isolated mountain retreat.
24Impressive Tree House
It can be quite the challenge and reward to build some of the tutorials on this list in Survival Mode but there are many Minecraft players that love logging in, switching to Creative Mode, and letting their imaginations run wild. Those that are looking to build something a bit more impressive, with the aid of Creative Mode, should check out this literal tree house from Youtuber Typface. This expansive, elegant, and detailed house sprouts up as if it was carved from a large tree, complete with leaves and an adjoining tree that provides a staircase and bridge.
It’s immense in scale while still being small enough to look believable in a Minecraft world. Although it’s possible to create something of this magnitude in Survival Mode, it would definitely take a lot of time and resources. Typface provides a step-by-step build guide in the Youtube video above that will leave players with an impressive Tree House that is far more eye-catching than simply building a few platforms in the treetops.
23Hanging House
Those looking to live high above the clouds may want to consider a hanging house, which uses a “chain-like” design to drop from a cliffside. SheepGG brings this fantastic design to life, complete with anything a player may need to survive all packed into a modern-yet-compact living space. It’s a stroke of genius and definitely an eye-catching house that should shock and inspire any player that sees it.
Thankfully, the creator broke down the process on how to create this structure in the Youtube video above, making a useful step-by-step guide for players that want to construct something similar.
22Japanese Style House
Minecraft features a wide array of unique biomes and these “changes in scenery” have inspired some players to create various structure styles to breathe even more life into their pixelated worlds. Those that are looking to bring different cultures into their Minecraft map may want to consider crafting a traditional Japanese-style Temple-like home. These intricate designs are breathtakingly beautiful in real life and translate well into Minecraft’s blocky worlds.
BlueBits put together this easy-to-follow and detailed Youtube video outlining how players can create their own Japanese-style house in Minecraft. It’s an ideal place to start for inspiration concerning these types of designs.
21Moon-Shaped Mountain House
Mountain homes are a long-time favorite amongMinecraftbuilders. It gives a solid foundation to work on, but even then, players shouldn’t feel restricted by their environment. The proof is in this moon-shaped mountain-side house that looks gorgeous despite its humble size.
The home not only has a great view, butthe shape itself makes it a unique and coolMinecrafthome, and a great build idea forMinecraft.To see the original photo that does the build true justice,check out the builder’s, Artic_Uno’s, post on Reddit.
20Underground Circle House
Those looking for something unique, stylish, and underground, should definitely check out this design from Tanol Games. A lot of underground designs focus on making hidden entrances or tunnels down into bases but this design opts to create a silo-like bunker structure, leaving the top open and absorbing the nature of the area surrounding the underground house itself. It’s got a much more “open feeling” while still maintaining the idea that it’s below ground.
This step-by-step video offers the basis for the structure and foundation, as well as some ideas for the interior, giving players a chance to build their own unique underground oasis.
19Modern Mansion Base
Most players tend to favor traditional building styles and medieval homes when building their bases, butwhen looking at newMinecrafthouse ideas, it’s a good idea to step outside of one’s comfort zone.That’s why modern bases are a great option.

This modern mansionbuilt by Bladjomir on Redditis massive in size but is big enough to house everything one could need in a survivalMinecraftbase. It’s always better to have a bit more space than not enough.
18Rustic Savanna Home
While searching forMinecrafthouse ideas, an important decision to make is the choice of biome.Biomes and environments can significantly affect the way the build looks and what kind of materials and resources look good.
The savanna biome is not the first choice for many, but it does have a lot of potential. While this housebuilt by RavenTheDawgonly has a savanna in the background, it still fits in perfectly into the arid environment as a more traditional and medievalMinecrafthouse. Plus, it uses some of the new blocks introduced in 1.17 to its advantage.
17Minecraft Amethyst Geode Home
Players who hate building houses and prefer furnishing might choose to build their newMinecrafthome inside an existing structure, such as an amethyst geode. Added in the 1.17 update, these geodes are pretty commonly found underground or underwater, and are very beautiful from the inside.
This brilliantMinecrafthouse idea was madeby Reddit user widici.It uses some of the best purple blocks in the game to create a really unique and coolMinecraftbase with the basics included. The side of the geode which is typically broken open has been turned into a large window that looks out into the ocean, so it’s a cheap underwater home at the same time as well.
