Ever wanted that perfect cosy home in the countryside but don’t have the money to front the venture? No worries, just make one in Minecraft! The Cottagecore Minecraft house scene sounds like something we’ve just made up, but it’s gaining popularity by the day.
Cottagecore Minecraft House Top Tips
Looking to build your own cottage but don’t know where to start? Here are ten tips you need to build a perfect Cottagecore Minecraft house:

1: Get the outline right – Cottagecore Minecraft House
Make sure the sides of the cottage are a tad shorter than the front and rear elevations. For users looking for square floor space, there are no issues going for that kind of layout too!
2: Lay The Foundations – Cottagecore Minecraft House
Once the outline is sorted, start by laying a mix of mossy and normal cobblestone around the flooring you’ll be using. Birch planks look quite nice and quaint if anyone is struggling to make a flooring choice.

3: Build The Walls – Cottagecore Minecraft House
It’s a good idea to mark out wall corners with logs, then build up the wall with terracotta. Not only are they good materials to use but they suit the cottage aesthetic quite well. To add a bit of design flair, add bricks on the final two layers of terracotta on the outside walls.
Make sure to leave a bit of room at the front for a nice porch, more on that later.
4: Doors and Windows – Cottagecore Minecraft House
Use glass panes for the window gaps that have been knocked out of the terracotta. As for the doors, we quite like using trap doors, but that’s your call. We’d 100% go with some kind of wood for the door to keep in line with the Cottagecore Minecraft house look.

5: The Roof
Players will find it best to build stairs out of the roof materials they wise to use. A combination of stone, mossy stone and bricks looks quite nice.
6: Exterior Features
This is where the wall log ends come in handy. Players can fix wood fences, lanterns and other features around the foundation of the cottage. See, we told you that porch space at the front would look nice.

7: Gardens
It wouldn’t be a cottage without a lovely garden, here are some items players can use to add a more rustic flair to their cottage build:
- Flowers
- Flower Ports
- Oak leaves
- Vines
- Pumpkins
- Stone brick walls
- Haybales
- Lanterns
8: The Interior
How the exterior of our Cottagecore Minecraft House looks the part, let’s focus on the interior. The first step would be laying birch planks on the roof too and using ladders of your choice to get up to the second floor. There’s a second-floor right?

9: Decorate
Let’s add that last layer of polish to the cottage by furnishing it and lighting it well. Lanterns do the trick for the latter, but here are some furnishing item ideas to consider:
- Carpets
- Smoker
- Blast Furnace
- Barrels
- Bookshelf
- Green bed
10: Keep Adding To It
Now that the cottage is complete, it’s never too late to add new features and rebuild. Just like a real home, the garden may look nicer with some new flowers or a furniture swap.
