Bedroom Furniture

The most essential piece to a bedroom is the bed. You can make a `fake` bed using wool, But this article isn`t about that kind of thing. This is about decorative furniture (for the most part). Let`s start with some basics: Dressers, desks, and bookshelves.

To make a barricaded door or window, use signs and put them against doors or windows as pieces of wood then type dashes on.

Dressers

A dresser is a stack of double chests. An idea for a more interesting home is to have themed chests with only certain things (e.x. Only store armor in the dresser). A good idea is to place Item Frames Item Frame Type Decorations Durability N/A Renewable Yes Stackable Yes (64) Internal ID 18 Network ID 71 Entity ID item_frame Drops Item Frame (1) The item it contains. First appearances See History Data values Computer next to the dressers to show the items inside. Be that as it may, most people would only store say, armour inside the dresser so as an alternative method, place a few Armor Stands Armor Stand Type Decorations Durability N/A Renewable Yes Stackable Yes (16) Flammable Yes Internal ID 30 Network ID 78 Entity ID armor_stand Health points 2 () First appearances See History Data value dec: 416 hex: 1A0 bin: 110100000 down to show off your newly crafted Armor.

Dresser #1- Put two wood planks next to each other on the floor, then double it. Then put trapdoors Trapdoor Transparency Yes Luminance No Blast resistance 15 (Wooden) 25 (Iron) Tools Renewable Yes Stackable Yes (64) Flammable Iron: No Wooden: No, but catches fire from lava Drops Itself Data values See Data values Name on all of them.

Dresser #2- Put two wood planks next to each other on the floor, then double it. Then put buttons Button Transparency Yes Luminance No Blast resistance 2.5 Tool Any tool Renewable Yes Stackable Yes (64) Flammable No Drops Itself Data values See Data values Name See Data values A button is a non-solid block on all of them.

Dresser #3- Put two wood planks next to each other on the floor, then double it. Then put signs with the letter O on the second line to represent drawers.

Closets

To make a closet, first dig two blocks tall and one block wide into a wall. If you want to make it wider, dig in deeper and start to dig spreading out. Then, go out side of the little "room" you`ve made and put a door at the entrance. You can make a four by four entrance but you will have to put double doors. Since you cannot really "place" armor in the game (except in 1.8, if you use an armor stand), you must use a chest and put the chest into the closet, or if you still want to be able to see the armor put up a row of item frames with the armor inside.

Cabinets

Here is how to make a simple cabinet. 1-4 of any type of block (bookshelves are preferable, because it gives the illusion of food or dinnerware within.) 2-8 trapdoors

Place the block against a wall, and place the trapdoors. One on top and one on the front side.

Bunk Bed

For the bunk bed, you need a wall that has a width of 4 and a height of 4. Get fence pieces and place them each on the outer rim of the wall, then place planks in the wall spaces on the bottom only. Place a bed on top of the two blocks. Next, get rid of the blocks under the bed and then place a bed where those blocks were. Note: The top bed will not change your spawn point unless there is a solid block with two empty blocks above it one block below the bed and directly adjacent and you will wake up on top of the bed, so there needs to be more than one block of space above the bed.

You can also make a bunk bed with two doors and two beds. Put two (any block) blocks in a row then place a bed on top. Break the two blocks. Then place a bed under the top bed. Put the two doors on the side.

for a bunk bed, you will need a wall that is 3x3.all you need is 6 fences and 2 beds. first put fences (3 high) 2 blocks away from each other. then place the first bed on the floor, and the second on the 3rd fence, up and there you go! your very own bunk bed!

Bookshelves

To make a bookshelf Bookshelf Transparency No Luminance No Blast resistance 7.5 Tool Renewable Yes Stackable Yes (64) Flammable Yes Drops Book (3) Data value dec: 47 hex: 2F bin: 101111 Name bookshelf “ Bookshelves are expensive things to create. But you , stack as many bookshelf blocks as you desire. It`s also a good idea to add a crafting table to your bedroom, and possibly a jukebox. As well as bookshelves, you can use slabs and stairs stacked on top of each other to simulate normal shelves.

Shelves

To make a shelf, place a row of 4 wooden planks on the ground, and add a stack of 3 wooden planks at each end. Close off the space at the top with 2 more planks, and add slabs for shelves.

Potted Plant

Note: As of 1.4.2 PCPersonal Computer version, there are now Flower Pots Flower Pot Type Solid Block Requirements None Physics No Transparency Yes Luminance No Blast resistance 0 Hardness 0 Tool Any tool Renewable No Stackable Yes (64) Flammable No First appearances See History Drops Itself Block made out of three bricks crafted the same way as a Bucket Bucket Type Tools Durability N/A Renewable Yes Stackable Yes (16) First appearances See History Data values PC: dec: 325 hex: 145 bin: 101000101 PE: dec: 3250 hex: 1450 bin: 1010001010 Name bucket See the item. For the server , though this method remains useful for 2-block high plants.

To make a potted plant, you can either use Flower pots or use the following method.

Place a grass block. You may also get a long grass, a rose, a yellow flower, or any of the other new 1-block-high plants.

Next, dig out the blocks around it on the floor.

Above each hole, place a trapdoor. Then make them all in the closed position, with its flat side against the side of the dirt block.

After that, fill in the holes. Then put a dirt or a stone block, tall grass piece, or fern on top of the dirt block and you`re done!

Another way to make potted plants is to put signs around a block of dirt as the pot and then put a plant on top of it.

Desks

To make a desk, take your choice of support, (Fence or fence gate are best) and place 2 of them for a freestanding desk, 1 for a desk attached to the wall. Then make a surface (wooden slabs work well). But, with the beta 1.8 update, pressure plates can be placed on fences, creating a much flatter surface. Additionally, if three fence blocks are placed in a row, two could be covered in pressure plates, and one with glowstone or a redstone lamp on top, making a "lamp".

Another neat way of making easy and simple desks is to have a set of pistons lined up in patterns in rectangular shapes or lines. Simply place redstone blocks in the shape of your desk one block beneath your floor. Then place pistons atop the blocks for a permanent desk/table. Another way to make a desk is after the pistons are placed, put a single redstone torch under each one of them, causing the pistons to activate, and thus making a quick and simple table. An adaptation of this is to put a piston in the ground facing up and put pressure plates around it. When you walk up to it, the table/desk pops up.

A different way of making desks is to make a huge table out of blocks. There should be four "leg" blocks, acting as the "legs" of your table. On top of the "legs" you can put slabs or blocks, making a simple table. This form of table is one of the easiest to make.

The last type of table is the "Block-by-block" table. It consists of a simple arrangement of multiple blocks. By putting many blocks in a rectangular, square, or straight pattern, you can make a very simple table useful for keeping things on. This form of table is mostly built with white, plain wool, because it causes the table to look like the table is covered with a clean, white tablecloth. Credit to Minecraftfurniture.net

Another way to make a good looking desk is to place two upside down stairs on the ends with slabs between them, the stairs act as the legs. And if you want to have a top table cloth but still a wood table then put white carpet on top of the wood blocks.

Computers

Place an iron block, a painting on the side, and a "keyboard" in front of it. Some people use a powered minecart rail Rail Transparency Yes Luminance No Blast resistance 3.5 Tool Renewable Yes Stackable Yes (64) Flammable No Drops Itself Data value dec: 66 hex: 42 bin: 1000010 Name rail See the standard rail. For other uses, , mostly because it looks like there`s buttons on it in the original resource pack. Best use with a desk. You can use 3ℂₗ2ℂₗ1 logs and put the "computer" in the middle. Alternatively there are several mods that can provide you with computers. A good example is ComputerCraft or the Mr. Crayfish`s furniture mod.

Basic Computer on a desk with a chair.

Another way is to place a painting Painting Type Decorations Durability N/A Renewable Yes Stackable Yes (64) Internal ID PC: 9 PE: 83 Network ID PC: none Entity ID painting Drops 1 Painting First appearances See History Data value dec: 321 hex: 141 bin: 101000001 on the wall in front of a block of wood and place a minecart rail Rail Transparency Yes Luminance No Blast resistance 3.5 Tool Renewable Yes Stackable Yes (64) Flammable No Drops Itself Data value dec: 66 hex: 42 bin: 1000010 Name rail See the standard rail. For other uses, or another object that looks like a computer keyboard and you can use that as a computer. When you want to `change the display` just put a new picture in place.

Another way to make a computer is by placing a wooden, or stone pressure plate. From the outside (or rear of the `desk`), place a sign on the edge of the pressure plate (check for the black outline showing the plate as selected). This sign can be decorated with common logos, like real monitors. Now move to the front of the `desk` (or back of the sign, which is now floating) and place a picture. An optional button can be placed on the left or right as a mouse. Two of these screens can be setup (the pressure plate is required to hold the sign) for dual monitor configurations.

Alternatively you can use the item frame method to set up a computer. Place an oak wood block next to the wall. Above it on the wall put an item frame. On the wood block put a stone pressure plate and there you have it! You can put a map or an item (Heads are a good ones) inside to make it look like you are running a program. You can also expand by putting another block of wood on one side of the first one and placing a flower pot on one and a button on the other. You now have a laptopusually called a notebook computer by manufacturers with some coffee and a mouse!

To make a disk drive, place a jukebox close to a wall and place a stone or wooden pressure plate on the jukebox. Add a picture on the wall and then place any block beside the jukebox and place a lever on it. Now you have a computer that can play music!

Griefer`s trick: Add a TNT trap with a dropper and a wooden pressure plate hidden and a trapdoor to open the computer system and add a book to the dropper. You can use them as `viruses` to wreck their computer. Add a button next to the dropper to turn `on` it. Add a command block next to the pressure plate HIDDEN and set the command to: /me ERROR! VIRUS ERROR!. When a player has turned `on` his computer, the ERROR! alert will make the player think there is a virus and then the computer will explode!

One way is to put a block of any kind with a painting on. Underneath put a pressureplate as a keyboard and use stairs as a desk chair. There are many other ways that you can make them please comment below to help other players!⃂:)

Lamps/Light sources

Using a Redstone Lamp Redstone Lamp Transparency Partial (when on) Luminance Yes, 15 (when on) Blast resistance 1.5 Tool Any tool Renewable Yes Stackable Yes (64) Flammable No Drops Itself Data values See Data values Name See Data values is the easiest way to create a toggle-able light source. Alternatively you can use one of the following methods:

To make a lamp, place a fence block and put a torch (or some glowstone) on top.

One method to create a side table-looking light is placing a glowstone Glowstone Transparency Yes Luminance 15 Blast resistance 1.5 Tool Any tool Renewable Yes Stackable Yes (64) Flammable No Drops Glowstone Dust (2–4) Data value dec: 89 hex: 59 bin: 1011001 Name glowstone See the block. , sea lantern Sea Lantern Transparency Yes Luminance 15 Blast resistance 1.5 Tool Any tool Renewable Yes Stackable Yes (64) Flammable No Drops Prismarine Crystals (2–3) Data value dec: 169 hex: A9 bin: 10101001 Name PC: sea_lantern PE: sealantern Sea lanterns , redstone lamp Redstone Lamp Transparency Partial (when on) Luminance Yes, 15 (when on) Blast resistance 1.5 Tool Any tool Renewable Yes Stackable Yes (64) Flammable No Drops Itself Data values See Data values Name See Data values or other full-block light source on your floor, and put a trapdoor Trapdoor Transparency Yes Luminance No Blast resistance 15 (Wooden) 25 (Iron) Tools Renewable Yes Stackable Yes (64) Flammable Iron: No Wooden: No, but catches fire from lava Drops Itself Data values See Data values Name on each side.

Another method is making an invisible lamp, by placing your preferred light Light (or lighting) in Minecraft affects visibility, mob spawning, and plant growth. Contents 1 Brightness 1.1 Spread 2 Sources of light 2.1 Blocks 2.2 Other 3 Light-filtering blocks 4 Effects of light 4.1 Mobs 4.2 source in your floor and cover it with a carpet Carpet Transparency Yes Luminance No Blast resistance 0.5 Tool Any tool Renewable Yes Stackable Yes (64) Flammable Yes Drops Itself Data value dec: 171 hex: AB bin: 10101011 Name carpet Carpets are thin blocks which are mainly used , which does block the light.

Or, to make a different kind of lamp, build up three blocks from your original ceiling, place glass Glass Transparency Yes Luminance No Blast resistance 1.5 Tool Any tool Renewable Yes Stackable Yes (64) Flammable No Drops None Data values Glass: dec: 20 hex: 14 bin: 10100 Stained Glass: PC: dec: 95 hex: 5F bin: 1011111 PE: dec: 241 hex: F1 where the original ceiling was and leave one block open for an escape hatch and start placing lava Lava Transparency Yes Luminance Yes, 15 Blast resistance 500 Tool Renewable No Stackable N/A Flammable No Drops None Data values Flowing Lava dec: 10 hex: A bin: 1010 Still Lava dec: 11 hex: B bin: 1011 Name Flowing Lava flowing_lava Still . This would be best used in creative mode in a netherack Netherrack Transparency No Luminance No Blast resistance 2 Tool Renewable No Yes Pocket edition only] Stackable Yes (64) Flammable No (burns indefinitely when manually ignited, top side only) Experience Smelted: 0.1 Drops Itself Data value dec: 87 / nether brick Nether Brick Transparency No Luminance No Blast resistance 30 Tool Renewable No Stackable Yes (64) Flammable No Drops Itself Data values Nether Brick dec: 112 hex: 70 bin: 1110000 Red Nether Brick dec: 215 hex: D7 bin: 11010111 Name Nether Brick structure (creative mode because depending on how big your house is it might take a lot of lava to cover the ceiling!)

Mood lighting can be made by placing a glowstone block and shield it on all sides but one. Next, place a slab Slab Transparency Double slab: No Single slab: Partial (blocks light) Luminance No Blast resistance Wood: 15 Stone: 30 Tools Renewable Stone: Yes Wood: Yes (except Fake Wood) Cobblestone: Yes Stone Brick: Yes Purpur: Yes Quartz: in the remaining spot. The result is a small patch of slightly whiter light. This will not create a radius of light be that as it may, so its solely for the effect.

A modern/futuristic style light can be made by placing down any block and then a stone slab (or any half-step) on top. Then remove the bottom block and put another half step in its place. Put a glowstone block on top of all of it. It should look like the glowstone hovers above the stone slabs.

Another modern way is to have a wall with stairs on all of the bottom row of blocks but the corners, and place glowstone in the corners. Then place one more stair piece next to the glowstone to make an 8ℂₗ8 pixel square of glowstone. Lastly, place a half slab of the same type of the stair (wooden plank, cobblestone, stone brick, sandstone) on the glowstone. There you have a modern `glowing` couch piece. I recommend either stone brick (modern) or sandstone (blends in with glowstone).

Using lava as lighting can create a cool effect. Place a non-flammable block on the ground. Place a block next to that, and place glass on there, before removing the second block you placed. Do this on all sides, before placing any amount of layers of glass on top of the glass. Pour lava down the resulting tube, and place a non-flammable block on the top. Note: This is dangerous if anything with four blocks of your lava lamp is flammable. Not recommended for houses with lots of wood/wool.

Curtains

Need some privacy for that boudoir d`amour? Attach a row of blocks under your ceiling, and then attach vines to the sides. The vines will grow hanging down, and create curtains for you.

Another alternative is to use wool. Just make a small wall of wool in front of your window or open space, and privacy is perfect!

Also, as of version 1.8, you can use banners as curtains. First, make a banner. The color and design are up to you, but a plain white banner is good with many homes. Next, you must put up the banner. For one block high windows, place the banner on the block above it. If the window is two blocks high, place the banner on the higher glass block of the two. For three or more, place banners on every row except the bottom one. This design makes a nice hanging curtain that lets light in and can easily be removed.

Ladders and or trapdoors could also be used as open window shutters.

Living Room Furniture

The living room is your house`s heart, where you can gather with friends (if you`re on a server) and spend your time, if you want to.

Tables

Tables are an essential furniture item in every living room. Read on to find out how to make many different table designs!

Coffee Tables

To create a coffee table, use any type of slab and place them near your sofas, chairs, etc. To make a mug, try a flower pot with nothing in it.

Corner Tables

Build a fence and add a wooden pressure plate, carpet/rug or trapdoor on top for a good looking table. Another option is to place a piston in the ground with a redstone torch or block below it. The piston will activate, and will create a nice, one block table.

Dining Room Tables

• Place two stair blocks facing each other. Next, place two slab Slab Transparency Double slab: No Single slab: Partial (blocks light) Luminance No Blast resistance Wood: 15 Stone: 30 Tools Renewable Stone: Yes Wood: Yes (except Fake Wood) Cobblestone: Yes Stone Brick: Yes Purpur: Yes Quartz: blocks of your taste on top of them. Some crafters believe that slab Slab Transparency Double slab: No Single slab: Partial (blocks light) Luminance No Blast resistance Wood: 15 Stone: 30 Tools Renewable Stone: Yes Wood: Yes (except Fake Wood) Cobblestone: Yes Stone Brick: Yes Purpur: Yes Quartz: floors will make the table more aesthetically pleasing.
  • You could also try the piston Piston Transparency Yes Luminance None Blast resistance 2.5 Tool Any tool Renewable Yes Stackable Yes (64) Flammable No Drops Itself Data values See Data values Pistons are blocks capable of pushing most blocks, depending on table. The piston table looks cool with a cake Cake Transparency Yes Luminance No Blast resistance 2.5 Tool Any tool Renewable Yes Stackable No (Yes, 64 in Console Edition) Flammable No Drops None Data values Block dec: 92 hex: 5C bin: 1011100 Item dec: 354 hex: 162 bin: 101100010 Name on it! Again, some crafters believe that slab floors will make the table more aesthetically pleasing.
• Another method utilizing stair blocks: Place stairs upside-down, and back-to-back. This table can be as small as 2 back-to-back stairs or as large as you like! Slabs and stairs can be used as chairs.
• Place four blocks (e.g., wooden planks) for the legs of your table. Then place some upside down slabs in the center of the four legs you just created. Next, place four upside down slabs between the legs to make an awesome table.
• Place a dark block (e.g., such as Nether Brick Nether Brick Transparency No Luminance No Blast resistance 30 Tool Renewable No Stackable Yes (64) Flammable No Drops Itself Data values Nether Brick dec: 112 hex: 70 bin: 1110000 Red Nether Brick dec: 215 hex: D7 bin: 11010111 Name Nether Brick blocks) in a 3ℂₗ2 hole in your floor. On top of your dark blocks, place glass blocks.
• For larger tables, you can place stone pressure plates or white carpet to serve as dishware. You can use empty flowerpots for cups and/or a chest with prepared food in the middle of the table, too!
• For a simple table, with an actual use, simply use fence posts against your wall, then put wooden pressure plates on top. Once that is done, simply replace the blocks on the wall right above the table (on the same level as the pressure plates) with droppers (dispensers work too, but require a bow to make, unlike droppers). Now, fill the droppers with food, and then all you have to do is walk up to the table, and voila! you have food.
• In later versions you can have fence posts over the whole area of the table and cover them with carpets.

Modern Table

Place two glowstone blocks where you want the center of your table to be, then surround the glowstone blocks with glass panes for a cake and coffee table that will light up your living room!

You can also make some more rings of glowstone around the middle glowstone block.

Piston table

Extended pistons are usually more aesthetically pleasing than fences with pressure plates, as they form a solid top, rather than one with gaps. You need 6 pistons and 6 redstone torches. Dig the floor 3ℂₗ2ℂₗ2 and then fill ONE layer of the hole with redstone torches.

Side view

Overhead view

Then just cover the hole with pistons (Or you could place a sticky piston at random to make it look as though someone spilled!) facing UPWARDS. There you have it! A piston table!

Simple Table

Place 2 blocks above where you want your table, now create a 2 block deep hole below the blocks above your table (3 if you include the gap for the table which should already be there), get into the hole, look up and place 2 stairs facing each other on the bottom of them, get out the hole and fill it in, now remove the 2 blocks above the table, you now have a nice simple table.

Tablecloths

Using carpet blocks, you can replace the pressure plates on tables with carpet, or perhaps top your piston arms with the aforementioned block. This will create a nice-looking tablecloth. Use it anywhere, from fancy restaurants to cave homes!

T.V.

There are two main designs for televisions in Minecraft. You can make a decorative TV that is really just coal blocks, black wool or obsidian decoratively in or on the wall or floor. You could also just use a 2⃗1 painting starting from left to right to imitate a flat screen TV. You can also put two blocks of any material, two fence uptop and a 2⃗1 painting on the fence.

If you have space then there is another method. Build a frame 4⃗4 out of black or gray wool. Next carve out a small room within the frame. Put a row of glass along the lowest row that isn`t the frame. You can then lure an animal or monster into the frame or if you`re on creative mode use a spawn egg to get a villager, animal or monster. Just put in another layer of glass and you have a TV!

-

Using this method, you could also put item frames behind the glass, with things such as heads, food, or tools in them.

A more expensive method is a redstone lamp in the wall with a lever next to it and a painting over the lamp. When the lever is pulled, light will shine through the painting.

Another modern design is to place two furnaces at the bottom, two obsidian on top, and a 2⃗1 painting in front where you want the screen, then place two iron blocks vertically across the sides and place a button on each one.

Another design is more like a real TV in cost. It looks like a flat screen TV with loud speakers and a cabinet of videos and CDs.

First, you want to pick a 1 by 2 painting to be the video playing. To build this design, you will need a four by 3 area. AT LEAST.

Next, you place the painting down (You may have to redo the step until you find the painting you want.) flanked by two jukeboxes. Underneath place four bookshelves with a trap doer (closed) on each. This is what it should look like before to add the trap doors (Blue wool is for the painting):

This is what it will look like with the trapdoors:

Video game

Put a painting of Donkey Kong on a wall, preferably on a TV. Place a cobblestone wall and then place at least 2 redstone (so it looks straight) connecting the cobblestone wall to the TV. You now have a video game on a screen. Instead of a cobblestone wall, you could also put a weighted pressure plate. Drop something on the pressure plate, and it will "turn it on." Or for the game system you can just use a cake or daylight sensor ("What? Don`t you like my Cake-box and my daylight station?) the cobble wall is a cobble fence!

Sofas and Chairs

A sofa can be made using 2-4 stair blocks, with a sign attached to either side as "arms". Also, as of 1.4.2, one could use stairs facing inwards to create "arms". An alternate type of sofa can be made by placing 2 or more slabs in a row and surround the sides and back with blank signs. To make a `leather` sofa, use slabs surrounded by wool blocks.

Another way to make a nice couch is to place four wood planks in a row, with wood slabs on top. Then, put two wood planks on the ends and two rails in the middle. Place minecarts on the rails, and there! You have a couch you can actually sit on!

Chairs can be made similarly to sofas, but the `sitting` area is only 1 block wide. There are many variations of the chair listed below. You could just place 1 stair block for a simple chair. You could also put 1 stair block down, and put blank signs on the side for an armchair. You could also put down 1 slab, with blank signs on the sides and the back for a cool-looking armchair.

If you have a dog (tamed wolf), you may also want a dog bed in your house for it to sit on. You can make one using 2 wood slabs in a row, with signs attached on the sides, front and back. Also, since the 1.6.1 update, place 2 carpet color of choice on the ground.

A throne can be made by placing a minecart track on the ground with a block (stone, cobblestone, or iron blocks are best) on one end and a staircase on the other end. placing another block on top of the first and one on either side of it. Then, four stairs are placed to the sides of the minecart track and the original staircase. Then place two stairs on the two side blocks. Put a minecart on the track and enjoy your throne you can sit on.

A step up into the modern world of interior design is the "lounge bench". Make an extra long "sofa" with a 90 degree angle in it somewhere, no sign "arms", and possibly using slabs and blocks, instead of stair pieces. If in a corner, a bookshelf looks appealing in the corner, and blends in with the wood`s texture. You can also place any type of stairs (oak wood stairs are recommended) and place block on the sides.

Another model looks like a sofa from a TV show. You are required to have 3 height, 2 length and 6 width. You can use spruce wood or brown wool to make it look like that TV show sofa, but you have to have 26 blocks of that material. Any material is okay, but otherwise it will not look like the prototype. First, lay 12 blocks of your material in a 2ℂₗ6 rectangle. Then add your material to ⃂⋝ of your sofa (width). Then, on the ends of where there is 1 layer of material, add 1 block to each end. Now just add 6 blocks on top of the 2 block height area (other than the ends and add 1 block on each. Never set near fires, as the sofa will burn up.

Fireplaces
