Building a home
Intro
You may have noticed, there is a page on the wiki How_to_build_your_first_house,
but it doesn't actually show how to do it.
I was going to fix that page, but...
First we should consider
- What is our situation (as in, creative-mode, or first day in a survival game) ?
- Also:
- What landscape is around us (as in, forest, mountains, or desert) ?
- What server, what subgame ?
- What do we need (as in, urgently need now) ?
- What do we have (as in, tools, materials, food) ?
- What can we do (as in, right here, right now, until sundown) ?
In creative-mode, we can just skip to House-Building, and build something nice.
Same if you already have enough tools, building materials etc.
Otherwise, we might just need a home / shelter for the night, and maybe the next few days.
