Pine Wood = 1722
Birch Wood = 5
Glass = 519
Sandstone = 2111
Sandstone Slab = 60
Torch = 258
Wooden Stairs = 49
Wooden Door = 4
Wooden Pressure Plate = 4
Fence = 135
Netherrack = 3
Glowstone = 190
Thanks Finno! Glad you were able to build and now enjoy the house!
I first seen screen shots of this house on http://minecraftarchitecture.com/ and by the pictures alone attempted to re create the house. Needless to say, I totally messed it up and then I found these videos and followed them. I actually made it just as you did and want to say thanks for the awesome design and the the amount of time and specifics you put into the videos!! Awesome job and look forward to see some more of your great designs!!!
A bit too complicated. It's good, but you should have shown how many blocks inbetween the big gap on foundations.
It would've been nice if the original pictures had included a picture of the front. I mistook the picture of the back of the house to be the front and built much of it backwards... Time to deconstruct. ![]()
That aside, thanks for the tutorial. It's a great design and I can't wait to finish it. ![]()
How did you get the birch(?) wood on the fireplace to not catch on fire? When I built my fireplace, the birch caught on fire and it continued to spread to the rest of the wood of the house for about 6 spaces before I could put it out.
you put bricks around it or cobblestone so it doesnt catch on fire :P
See comment exchange between RiRi and I at the other "Minecraft Palace" blog post here at MCL. You don't have the birch separated from the fire with sandstone.
I see what I did wrong. I didn't notice the third layer of sandstone.
how are you able to get such a nice "birds eye" view
The vid was filmed while using Minecraft's "Creative" mode, in which you can fly anywhere at will and have unlimited resources available to build whatever you can imagine. It was done this way in the interest of making the tutorial as concise and informative as possible. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Anyone got the exact amounts of what I'd need?
Don't want to start if I can't finish it.
Thanks for your post, I've updated the blog post and the YouTube description with the counts of materials. Sorry late to reply on this.

Go here: http://bit.ly/AjNzib and click the green "Download" button to the right of "MinecraftTutorial.zip". If that's not the trouble you had, give more detail so I can help.
i love it i just wish u would have showed u taking the space out for the sand stone at the bottum cuz i dont know if u mean 19 between the blocks or 19 counting the blocks
Thanks for the comment. I've made a base blueprint to help with similar issues, DL it here: http://bit.ly/JA5Ti1
hi i messed mine up..in the back of the palace i messed up the window spacing and the palaces length and width...wish the video could be a little more detailed about the block placing![]()
That's why I put out the blueprint: http://bit.ly/JA5Ti1
Thanks for the comment.
Amazing work. The dimensions were a bit hard to follow, but from there, it was super easy. Thanks for the greate house!
Thanks
Appreciate the effort that went in to making the tutorial. That's what made it possible to follow very closely. The house is great!
