Hand Cart

Hand Cart is mostly used in garden and country themes and sometimes, we can use this in medieval buildings as well! With a 1x3 size, this small cart can improve the ambiance of your house a lot!

Small Tree

You don't have to place a sapling and use bone meal to create a real tree for decoration. Instead, you can use flower pots by placing 1 dirt or grass block in the middle, then surrounding it what 4 trapdoors. Then place a fence and some leave blocks on top.

Bookcase 2

Now, this is a more advanced design to build, but it requires more space than usual!

Dog House

You will need oak logs for this design! When you have them, craft some oak stairs, slabs, planks, fences, and a fence gate, and follow this!

Staircase

Building staircases to your second floor is never more challenging than other things in Minecraft. And that's why we recommend this design since it's simple, straightforward, and can save you a lot of resources and space. Simply use some wool carpets and strings to create a minimal staircase!

Bathtub

When it comes to the bathtub, it's best to use quartz or white concrete due to their modern and clean look. When you've done the decision, let's build a rectangle of stairs and fill it with water. Then create a wall nearby and place two faucets on it. One for the hot water, and another one for cold water.
