What this build is

Tidegate Villa is a Hard Minecraft mansion with 1,884 steps in 8 chapters, a 66 × 66 footprint and 30 layers of height. A sprawling sandstone and oak villa built around a water gate and a walled pool, with terraces stepping down to the garden.

At about 37 hours of building it suits a long survival project or a server landmark.

The block list, before you start

The bulk of it is Stone (10,093), Dirt (7,225) and Spruce Planks (3,137). In all it comes to 33,505 blocks in 47 types, which is about 2,639 stacks and 20 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 Tidegate Villa blueprint has 30 layers on a 66 × 66 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 1,884 steps run through the site and terrain, the foundation, the walls, the floors, the roof, the interior and decor and landscaping. Steps 1–1026 are free, ending with walls (1 of 2), which is a natural place to stop. The roof starts at step 1290.

Where to put it

Choose a flat area of at least 66 × 66 blocks with room to walk around it. Want something else? Compare more mansion 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.
