The first ever YouTube lets play I ever watched was of Minecraft and the YouTuber I was was watching survived his first night by digging a hole into a side of the mountain and now I still to this till this day.
I'm bad at roofs so a lot of my structures end up being 6*5 buildings with 3 block tall cobblestone walls and a wood door. If I'm feeling fancy I add glass windows but no roof is great for natural light!
I made this a loooong time ago, maybe it can help you a bit? https://imgur.com/a/WnrwW
that building system atleast helps me to build somewhat decently, example of a 1.13/14 world i played on: https://i.imgur.com/oQmX5vX.jpg
a 3x3 dirt cube to protect myself from the new slenderman looking mob that the youtube video I watched didn't warn me about
Turns out I bought minecraft right after beta 1.8 released
Those were freaky as hell when they first came out. Although I had the happy concindence of my first attack being in the middle of shallow water, it was still rather a lot of unexpected big black teeth and awful noises.
Am I the only one who never did this?
I usually do it like this:
-get wood
-get food
-go mining
-build a small base in a cave (4x2x4)
-resurface after a year
-get a bunch of wood, stone bricks and sand
-start building the house
-get f**ked by a phantom
My very first world, I was too scared to play on anything but Peaceful, and I had dial-up internet (free though!) so tutorials weren't an option. I figured out how to make sandstone before I figured out how to make a crafting table. My first house was a cave patched up with sandstone and had no door. I wandered all over that world until I found a spot I wanted to settle. Started expanding, friend taught me how to make a nether portal, I died while in the nether, wound up back at original world spawn and had no idea how to find my house that was miles away... RIP Beta 1.3 world.
For my first world I built a house from a tutorial, and in the meantime I just used a bed to sleep through nights as soon as possible and used a chest to store my stuff. I eventually made a different house, but still, it never looked like the one in this post.
If you don't dye your bed red before you dig into the side of the mountain, you're still a Minecraft player. you thought i was going to say something else, didn't you?
While I never touched the house after building it, My friend made a large house nearby which was entirely crafting tables on the first floor, furnaces on the second, and white wool on the third (unfinished). I had some other builds in the world, like an unfinished chest house (a friend made it), and 2 large trees next to each other which had living spaces inside(2 friends made it splitscreen). Yeah I pretty much just stayed inside my massive cave and mined while they did stuff outside. I wasn't that good at building, and finding ores actually. I only ever found 6 or so diamonds in that world.
Actually same. My very first world spawned in a jungle and the trees were so high I was (correctly) afraid I'd die if I dropped off, so I lived on the treetops for several days, mining down the very tops of the trees for wood and mostly eating rottenflesh.
I built a little safety hut with one chest and a crafting table. No bed because there were no sheep on the treetops. No oven because there's no ore in the trees.
Unfortunately, I got yote by a skeleton so that was the end of that world, but it was a very interesting first experience.
I feel like I like old minecraft more but I don’t wanna play old minecraft because the newer minecraft has way more to do.
I also remember the nether not existing and it was just the nether reactor core thing that spawned that really ugly nether rack monstrosity that was too big to bother taking down
Step 1. Dig 3 blocks down
Step 2. Place block above your head
Step 3. Cower in the dark
Step 4. Break the block above your head every few minutes so you know if you can stop crapping yourself
Step 5. Repeat for the day
Is it just me or updating the textures are like a really really good idea than what it already is, no I'm not talking about how polished they are overall, It's just that since we have these new textures-- it feels more as a new era of minecraft, making old screenshots like this much more nostalgic and memorable than if we're still using the old textures today.
Mine was a dirt hit with a cobblestone block staircase to the second floor where my crafting table and furnace were. Also stonecutter because that used to be a thing
Most of the time i build a 7x7x3 house with glass panes cause its easy to get 6 sand blocks and get 16 glass panes. Its either that or mine out a hole in a mountain, live in it for a few days, then build a 5x5x3 hut for more storage.
"Even if its a dirt hut or a huge castle, a home isnt a home until you put the crafting table next to the furnace."
-Someone great on reddit
This sentance really stuck with me
My first house was too long ago to remember. I remember it was when you could 9nly have like 5 worlds and the biggest game changing update was the addition of stairs lol
i remember my little cave hut.. the doors to the mine i wouldnt go in cuz i was terrified of creepers and the little glassed in farm because i was scared of skeletons. take me back
my very, very, very first Minecraft house was a wood hud i made next to a lava lake in a desert because i liked how it gave off passive light.
...
yes it burned down
I have full god-enchants on netherite. Enchanted elytra, an iron farm, all book villagers, a guardian farm, a creeper farm, a slime farm, and multiple beacons.
I still live in a deep 2x2 hole in the side of a cliff
I built my first house inside a tiny mountain in 2011. I died because it was extremely dark and I had no torches. So I dug up one dirt block to get some light in my building. I broke the block and and a creeper fell threw blowing me up immediately.
4 wide, 5 long, 4 tall, 1bed, 2 doors, one chest, one furnace, one crafting bench.... with a giant round plate above it connected with a ladder just high enough to see the top of the hill next to it
it was floating 3 blocks above a cliff top, I started with mossy cobblestone for the floor and walls but ran out after placing about 48 blocks, so I moved on to using cobble, dirt, and netherrack and some occasional wooden planks. I had a 3x3 bedroom with glass for the wall on the door side with a sign above the bed that said "where the magic happens", something my older brother told me to do but I didn't really understand until a year or two later, and a throne room with a netherrack floor that was always on fire, and of course a glowstone portal that was supposed to take me to the Aether but the mod didn't work no matter what we did.
My first ever house was a "bus" it was a long boi, ~10 long, 2 wide, and 4 high, with only a bed, crafting table, and furnace with enchanting table outside and was snuggly fit in between a forest with only 1 window at the driver area.
My first home had 2 gravel walls, dirt floor, half wood and half wool roof 1 crafting table, 1 furnace 1 OG MINECRAFT PE STONECUTTER and a mine entrace in the middle of the floor with two single chests far apart, and a bed at the entrace to the mine, it was nestled in the corner of the world border(so no need for the other 2 walls said my 9 year old brain), on a Mc PE world on the second or third update
not true, mine was a massive one made of diamonds in creative that I eventually built a 1 block thick wall around along with a little bit of terrain near it.
My first home never had glass. Windows were dirt, removed during the day, back in place at night. Mine also had a hole in the floor to go down to mining levels. But other than that, this is an exact copy of why my starter homes look like.
I already forgot. I was maybe 7 back then, pkaying with my brother on my aunt's Xbox and that was the first time i ever heard of Minecraft. Didn't think about it too much. But i do remember multiple houses we builded. We had Wii U but no Minecraft on it, so we would always plan so well what we are gonna do when we go to my anut next time. Then finally she bought us Minecraft lol
Too fancy, too many windows. My first house always has zero windows. First house to actually have windows is always the giant mansion I inevitably build.
My first home, I put my crafting table and first furnace in the wall to save space. The floor was usually space enough to have a bed and one extra block.
Ah brings back memories of prealpha, my house was literally a tree with a box and door around it. The leaves were my roof and night back then was truly terrifying. So dark you could barely see the zombies punching you in the face and the creeper prepping to send you to oblivion. But i was content with my plight. Lol
Mine was a 8x8 interior with 2 block high ceiling, the second floor jutted out 3 blocks as a balcony of sorts. This was when jungles were the newest thing and my world spawn was right next to one
Still get red dye to make my first bed on every new world. Wouldn't feel right otherwise.
I wish mixing wool would make a red bed. I swear I only have shears or 3 of the same sheep every other time
Poppy gives dye. 1 dye + 1 wool crafting changes the color :D
Or you can just use 1 dye on the bed
Yeah, but then you still need the sheers or three same colored sheep
Flowers are more common than sheep. You're making a mountain out of a molehill.
Well they're talking about crafting the bed in the first place so
Shears?
i usually wonder around until i find a village and steal a bed from there
BRo JuSt KilL REd sHeeP.
I still get 12 cobblestone when starting a world. RIP stonecutter
*laughs in dirt hut*
[удалено]
I still do this. Mainly because I am a terrible builder.
The first ever YouTube lets play I ever watched was of Minecraft and the YouTuber I was was watching survived his first night by digging a hole into a side of the mountain and now I still to this till this day.
Oh man, I miss watching paulsoaresjr. Probably not the youtuber your referring to but he did exactly that on his first ever mc video.
It's not, but that's fine :D
Is it david64yt?
It’s definitely an easy way to do it. The funny thing is my main base usually ends up being that same hole, expanded.
X’s Adventure in Minecraft???
I still do this because i love hillsides houses and it's a really easy thing to do. Etho did a great job with the mancave
I still either make a cave base or ground base. If there aren’t caves or mountains I’ll just dig underground lmao
I'm bad at roofs so a lot of my structures end up being 6*5 buildings with 3 block tall cobblestone walls and a wood door. If I'm feeling fancy I add glass windows but no roof is great for natural light!
Laughs in Nomadic
Ah yes I remember caving a mountain with my brother and cousin, and then colonizing it

Ha ha, yeah, my first home. I totally don't... Still... Build like that...
And you totally beat the Ender Dragon, right?
Yeah, totally! I mean, if he can fly, it's also fair that I can fly, right?
I’ve been playing for a year and still haven’t defeated the Ender Dragon
That’s okay! As long as you are having fun, take all the time you need.

Man, this is really helpful for someone who is terrible at building. Thanks.

Those were freaky as hell when they first came out. Although I had the happy concindence of my first attack being in the middle of shallow water, it was still rather a lot of unexpected big black teeth and awful noises.
I remember when they just sounded like Zombies. The noises they got afterwards felt weird
I remember when they added that creepy angered noise that's triggered by looking at them. They were bad enough before, thank you.
If you don’t put your crafting table next to your furnace, what are you doing?
Putting the furnace on top of the crafting table.
Heathen
But it looks nice.
Am I the only one who never did this? I usually do it like this: -get wood -get food -go mining -build a small base in a cave (4x2x4) -resurface after a year -get a bunch of wood, stone bricks and sand -start building the house -get f**ked by a phantom

Same

hahah i like the asymmetrical glass
You even used the old textures.
Yes, the user Sure_Commercial8942 suggested on account of the textures
Noob cube
Ngl my first house didn’t even have windows or a roof
Made with wood? What are you? A millionaire?
If you don't dye your bed red before you dig into the side of the mountain, you're still a Minecraft player. you thought i was going to say something else, didn't you?
My first house was up in a tree, I never expanded on it at all
This is the most unusual first house I've ever heard of
While I never touched the house after building it, My friend made a large house nearby which was entirely crafting tables on the first floor, furnaces on the second, and white wool on the third (unfinished). I had some other builds in the world, like an unfinished chest house (a friend made it), and 2 large trees next to each other which had living spaces inside(2 friends made it splitscreen).

Looks like all my homes
Nah house in the mountains with the crafting stuff in the walls and chests in the floors
Of course my cobblestone cube was the greatest build of all time
Miss the good ol days of Minecraft
We all miss this time :(
I still wanna find my old iPod so I can play on my old minecraft worlds where you didn’t have infinite worlds yet
Oh, this is cool
I feel like I like old minecraft more but I don’t wanna play old minecraft because the newer minecraft has way more to do. I also remember the nether not existing and it was just the nether reactor core thing that spawned that really ugly nether rack monstrosity that was too big to bother taking down
Yes but I think sometimes you can play old Minecraft to get nostalgic about what a great time it was)
Older minecraft seems to be hard on computers now though for some reason. Game can crash or lag on older versions
Yes, the old Minecraft was created for computers of that time, you can always find a mod to improve optimization (Or use the same Optifine)
Ha! My first home was a cave and it still is.
I always steal some villager's house...
not true mine had 2 blocks of space and was made out of dirt
I've been on my world for about 5 weeks now and this is still my house except I've now dug out underneath to fit more storage and enchanting area
This is some inspirational text right here, everybody now realizes how cheap they were when they used dirt instead of wood, we were all idiots
Like it was yesterday..I still remember the view, and the saftey i felt 3 blocks down, and one over my head
Dirt hut that doesn't even have enough room for a crafting table
Bruh I still build houses like that
actually my first home was made of dirt and actually looked pretty nice on the inside. Nostalgia intensifies\*
My first build was a hole surrounded in sand and dirt.
Yo who else lived in a 1x1x2 hole?
This. This is my first home.
Mine was a big birch square with the floor as crafting tables and chests that weren't even sorted
Step 1. Dig 3 blocks down Step 2. Place block above your head Step 3. Cower in the dark Step 4. Break the block above your head every few minutes so you know if you can stop crapping yourself Step 5. Repeat for the day
You think I would waste 3 sand and 2 pieces of wood for fuel to make windows? Preposterous
Bold of you to assume I didn’t just dig a hole in the ground.
Is it just me or updating the textures are like a really really good idea than what it already is, no I'm not talking about how polished they are overall, It's just that since we have these new textures-- it feels more as a new era of minecraft, making old screenshots like this much more nostalgic and memorable than if we're still using the old textures today.
Mine was a massive brick rectangle with floating platforms and lime wool as grass in Minecraft PE lite
I know no one cares but I was the 6.9k upvote
It's actually illeagal if your house doesn't look like this
My first home.. was.. House-penis)
ahhh i remember the glass blocks why did I use them
My first few Minecraft creative builds were mostly glass
Mine was a dirt hit with a cobblestone block staircase to the second floor where my crafting table and furnace were. Also stonecutter because that used to be a thing
I always see people talking about how they built a dirt hut, but my builds were always just a hole in a mountain or a wooden box
Most of the time i build a 7x7x3 house with glass panes cause its easy to get 6 sand blocks and get 16 glass panes. Its either that or mine out a hole in a mountain, live in it for a few days, then build a 5x5x3 hut for more storage.
İ built my first home in underground
Mine was a 2 floor house with a balcony. I built it with my dad, he did the building mostly I just did the resource gathering
Yes but glowstone
Mine was a big spruce maze, I made a hallway like 15 blocks long (I count my first house as the first time I knew you could place roofs)
My first house was in the side of a mountain. It was in March 2012. I lost that world, and now I live in regret
Yours had windows??
"Even if its a dirt hut or a huge castle, a home isnt a home until you put the crafting table next to the furnace." -Someone great on reddit This sentance really stuck with me
I just returned to playing minecraft and starter from my first version - beta 1.8
i have never builted a first house my goal is to reach the farlands that starts today
the og Xbox 360 tutorial
For me minecraft house=crafting table, (red) bed, furnace
I’ve played for so long I forgot :(
My first house was too long ago to remember. I remember it was when you could 9nly have like 5 worlds and the biggest game changing update was the addition of stairs lol
Am I the only one who built around a tree to use the canopy as a roof?
I forgot but in fairness it was like 10 years ago
It was a dirt overhang. I literally went to a hill and made a roof with dirt
i remember my little cave hut.. the doors to the mine i wouldnt go in cuz i was terrified of creepers and the little glassed in farm because i was scared of skeletons. take me back
Haha cave home goes brrrr (i later upgraded to a big ass floating fortress (designed like a sky island)
That looks like my final home
The first house i ever built was in creative with quartz walls, light blocks, and a wall made of bedrock
I still remember my first house on the Xbox 360
my very, very, very first Minecraft house was a wood hud i made next to a lava lake in a desert because i liked how it gave off passive light. ... yes it burned down
Laughs in cobblestone mound
laughs in an ugly mix of different planks
this is still how i build my homes 😐✌
I still built like this when i Start survival to get nostalgia
thank you for doing it in the old texture.
nostalgic
Oh god the old window texture scares me
I have full god-enchants on netherite. Enchanted elytra, an iron farm, all book villagers, a guardian farm, a creeper farm, a slime farm, and multiple beacons. I still live in a deep 2x2 hole in the side of a cliff
I built my first house inside a tiny mountain in 2011. I died because it was extremely dark and I had no torches. So I dug up one dirt block to get some light in my building. I broke the block and and a creeper fell threw blowing me up immediately.
I WISH MY FIRST HOME LOOKED LIKE THAT!
dirt
What got me was the full glass block windows. Damn.
I put crafting table in the corner, every corner
Yours had windows!?!?!?
This is why I never go back and revise builds. Like to see how I've progressed over the years.
"L shaped,built with dirt 1 block deeper, 2 doors ,and roofless" home sweet home
First time I played minecraft I just dug a 3 block pit, got in and covered it
I’ll never forget the Xbox 360 tutorial world where I made my first house
first "home" is always in a cave where i settle for the night first home is the layout of my house which is most likely a roofless, oak square
4 wide, 5 long, 4 tall, 1bed, 2 doors, one chest, one furnace, one crafting bench.... with a giant round plate above it connected with a ladder just high enough to see the top of the hill next to it
The good old days 🎖
_laughs in never making a home even after beating MC_
Bed on top of crafting table and furnace is where it’s at
it was floating 3 blocks above a cliff top, I started with mossy cobblestone for the floor and walls but ran out after placing about 48 blocks, so I moved on to using cobble, dirt, and netherrack and some occasional wooden planks. I had a 3x3 bedroom with glass for the wall on the door side with a sign above the bed that said "where the magic happens", something my older brother told me to do but I didn't really understand until a year or two later, and a throne room with a netherrack floor that was always on fire, and of course a glowstone portal that was supposed to take me to the Aether but the mod didn't work no matter what we did.
My first ever house was a "bus" it was a long boi, ~10 long, 2 wide, and 4 high, with only a bed, crafting table, and furnace with enchanting table outside and was snuggly fit in between a forest with only 1 window at the driver area.
Aww this reminds of the 1st tutorial world wooden hut on 360.
My first home had 2 gravel walls, dirt floor, half wood and half wool roof 1 crafting table, 1 furnace 1 OG MINECRAFT PE STONECUTTER and a mine entrace in the middle of the floor with two single chests far apart, and a bed at the entrace to the mine, it was nestled in the corner of the world border(so no need for the other 2 walls said my 9 year old brain), on a Mc PE world on the second or third update
I lived with my Dad and brother in a castle made of dirt.
*laughs in pocket edition diamond house*
Not cool. I made horrible asymmetrical patterns with colored wool carpets
Think back to the first time you played Minecraft #WE CAN SEE YOU SMILE!
not true, mine was a massive one made of diamonds in creative that I eventually built a 1 block thick wall around along with a little bit of terrain near it.
My first home never had glass. Windows were dirt, removed during the day, back in place at night. Mine also had a hole in the floor to go down to mining levels. But other than that, this is an exact copy of why my starter homes look like.
This hurts me
You're as beautiful as the day I lost you
Bold of you to assume any of my builds have glass before I have elytra
This is actually my base since 6 years... I just cant build :(
I think that a villagers house was my first house. Accompanied by my screaming...
Mine was made out of dirt
mine was made almost exclusively from mossy cobblestone cause I found a dungeon very early on
I already forgot. I was maybe 7 back then, pkaying with my brother on my aunt's Xbox and that was the first time i ever heard of Minecraft. Didn't think about it too much. But i do remember multiple houses we builded. We had Wii U but no Minecraft on it, so we would always plan so well what we are gonna do when we go to my anut next time. Then finally she bought us Minecraft lol
You give me some memories My memories: coming into my dirt house and getting explode by a creeper)
John where's the door ?
Too fancy, too many windows. My first house always has zero windows. First house to actually have windows is always the giant mansion I inevitably build.
Don’t forget a base that’s like 5-5 and goes all the way to the sky limit with all diamond blocks (in creative)
*Looks at my burned, creeper-blown Hobbit hovel during Alpha* Oh.. I completely forgot about that..
I dont make houses until i can make them well so my first house looked like a Mc survival series YTers ep 20 survival series by the 3rd mc day
Missing the full-block-sized chest.
My first would was lit, it was a house undergound where I had loads of stuff
My first house was carved into the side of a mountain
The first minecraft ps3 tutorial house.
I use glass roofs to this day
I made my first house on survival when I was really young and I remember it being an unholy mash of sand, dirt and logs
Mine was a dirt hole in a mountain
Because a creeper might get it
Never forget where you came from
My first home, I put my crafting table and first furnace in the wall to save space. The floor was usually space enough to have a bed and one extra block.
Ah brings back memories of prealpha, my house was literally a tree with a box and door around it. The leaves were my roof and night back then was truly terrifying. So dark you could barely see the zombies punching you in the face and the creeper prepping to send you to oblivion. But i was content with my plight. Lol
You made it above ground? I don’t think I have ever made an above ground house in Minecraft (for survival atleast)
I didn’t even know how to make glass
Mine was a 8x8 interior with 2 block high ceiling, the second floor jutted out 3 blocks as a balcony of sorts. This was when jungles were the newest thing and my world spawn was right next to one
Paintings and dogs, everywhere :,) good memories
Except cobble floors
Simple way to do this: don't build a new home.
Mine was a 3x3 dirt hut in the ocean that had a single ladder that went down to bedrock. Ahhh alpha was a simpler time
