/place template minecraft:village/plains/houses/plains_small_house_1 ~ ~ ~ clockwise_90The command places the raw game template: 2 jigsaw block(s) stay where the plan shows Oak Stairs, Oak Planks. Break them and put what the plan shows in their place.
In a generated village, each Cobblestone block has a 10% chance of becoming Mossy Cobblestone. The plan and the command give the clean version.
Step by step
- Layer 1, floor. Put a Stripped Oak Log at each corner of a 5 by 5 square, fill the sides with Cobblestone and the middle with 3 by 3 Oak Planks. Add one Oak Stairs block outside the west side as the entrance step.
- Layers 2 to 4, walls. Raise the four log corners and the Cobblestone walls. Leave the door gap on the west side, place the Oak Door and the White Bed in layer 2, then one Glass Pane window in the north, east and south walls in layer 3.
- Torches. Two torches go on the outside of the west wall, one on each side of the door, and one inside on the east wall in layer 4.
- Layers 5 to 7, roof. Layer 5 covers the whole 7 by 7 area: a ring of Oak Stairs around Oak Planks. Each layer above steps in by one block, and a single plank closes the top.
Tips
Build the roof from the outside in and place the stairs facing outward, as the arrows show. In a village, the game turns some Cobblestone into Mossy Cobblestone at random: use a few if you want the lived-in look. This house is one of five: see the village houses of every biome and the village structure.
