What this build is

Candlewick Arch House is a Medium Minecraft house with 163 steps in 8 chapters, a 27 × 18 footprint and 18 layers of height. A two-wing timber townhouse on stone brick footings, with terracotta roofs, a brick chimney and a gravel lane running through the arch.

At about 2 hours of building it suits a survival world once you have a steady supply of wood and stone.

The block list, before you start

The bulk of it is Stone Bricks (227), Stripped Spruce Log (204) and Spruce Planks (182). In all it comes to 1,768 blocks in 46 types, which is about 65 stacks and 3 chests of storage.

Plan ahead for Grass Block: grass-type blocks only keep their top with a Silk Touch tool.

How the blueprint is laid out

The Candlewick Arch House blueprint has 18 layers on a 27 × 18 grid. Layer 1 is free to view, and every square shows the block and the step that places it. Count from the same corner on every layer, using the numbers along the edge of the grid.

Step by step, chapter by chapter

The 163 steps run through the site and terrain, the foundation, the walls, the floors, the roof, the interior and decor and landscaping. Steps 1–67 are free, ending with walls (1 of 2), which is a natural place to stop. The roof starts at step 103.

Where to put it

Choose a flat area of at least 27 × 18 blocks with room to walk around it. Want something else? Compare more house blueprints, or browse house ideas.

Common mistakes

Breaking Grass Block without Silk Touch gives you dirt, so bring the right tool before the terrain steps. Count the roof from the corner you used on layer 1; starting from the other side leaves the ridge off-centre. If you turn the build, keep the original directions in mind: the step hints name walls by compass direction.
