We all spend hours building inMinecraftto create the perfect base for any use. Whether you’re building elaborate structures in creative mode or making an impressive base fit for any survival needs. With so many unique blocks and countless possibilities to use them, the creativity is endless. Of course, building can be difficult and, with a constantly updating game, some old build hacks reliant on bugs end up being patched and lost to time.
10 Best Minecraft Blocks for Building

If you’re still living in your giant dirt mansion or struggling to decorate a room in your impressive home, there are countless pieces of furniture and décor you can make. With some great build hacks to bring your home together, you will be sure to impress anyone who logs in.
If you run single-player, then perhaps the local villagers may want to move in. Their village homes are tiny, so anything is an upgrade for them.
7Couch with Cushions
Perfect Seating for a Living Room
Looking for a comfy seat for your base? Look no further. With some wool, carpets and a few banners for pillows, you’re able to make yourself a couch perfect for hosting friends. To start, use the wool blocks to build out the shape of your couch. Choose whatever color you want.
Once you have your base, dig into the ground where you want your pillows to be and place some banners with colors that compliment the rest of the couch. If you’re feeling fancy, you’re able to even make custom designs on the top half. To finish the look, place carpet over the holes and gaps in the floor to create the final look.
6Plants and Pots
Nature Improves Any Home
There are countless plant pot designs for Minecraft. The oldest being a simple flowerpot with either a dead bush or sapling for the trunk, stacking one to two leaves on top for the bush. However, if you are looking for something more unique, you can place the smaller pot in a decorated one to create a bigger vase, customizable with pottery sherds.
Other pots include coarse dirt surrounded by trapdoors. This will allow you to plant more nature blocks than a regular flower pot allows, such as tall flowers. Finally, azalea bushes can have moss blocks stacked on them instead of leaves to create more solid bushes. These can be planted in dirt pots or outside your base.
5Cooking Stove
Using Particles to Create Atmosphere
Particle effects are a great way to bring your build to life. A popular one to use is fireplaces, often used for chimneys. However, they also make a great addition to any kitchen furnace, making it seem like you’re cooking on the stove.
By placing campfires under your furnace with a one-block gap, you’ll get a steady flow of smoke drifting through the block. To add more detail, place detector rails over the furnace top for cooking hobs and some stairs or slabs above to capture the smoke. The closer the fire is to the furnace, the more smoke you will get through the top.
4Beds for Days
A Bed Perfect for any Vibe
We all have a bed to sleep those deadly nights away. Aside from choosing your bed color, there are other ways to stand out so everyone knows this is your bed. Simple builds include some trapdoors of your choosing at the end and books at the front by the pillows to create headboards. If you’re looking for a more modern look, try surrounding your bed with slabs.
If you’re feeling extra fancy, try creating a bed frame out of fences and fence gates to hang banners from like curtains. Combine this with a slab top and extend the bed with matching wool. You’ll be the grandest of them all.
3Mob Heads Display Case
To Display your Rare Goods
Lucky enough to get your hands on some mob heads you wish to display? Try building a museum full of glass cases to display these accomplishments, labeled with signs. To achieve this look you’ll need some sticky pistons, a button or two, an armor stand and materials for your case. Personally, we recommend a log and glass.
First, build the case, which must be one block wide and two blocks tall. After you place your armor, stand with the mob head equipped to it, then the sticky pistons. After you activate the sticky pistons, they should pull the blocks into the armor stand if set up correctly. Once this is done, you may extend the case as you see fit.
2Fishing Docks and Rafts
A Surprisingly Useful Block
When not burning, campfires make a unique building block perfect for fishing harbors and even rafts. By extinguishing the flames with water, a perfect use for splash bottles of water, you’re left with log stacks on a coal base.
To create a cute fishing harbor, line these up on the water in the shape best for you, line it with trapdoors and add some lighting and a barrel for fishing supplies. Don’t forget fences for underwater support, so your harbor won’t fall apart. If you require a raft, the same technique works. Just don’t connect it to the land, or you won’t be sailing anywhere.
1Dripping Shower and Flooded Sinks
A Great Addition for Bathrooms
Particle effects once again come to the rescue. Ever wanted a bathroom to complete your modern home? You’ll be sure to wash up in a quartz bath made from stairs or in the cauldron sink filled with water bottles to control the water levels.
However, if you want to truly impress your friends, create a shower usingglass doors, a tripwire hook for the shower head and a trapdoor for the drain. Once you’ve built your desired shower style, place a slab above the tripwire hook and water log it. Use a matching wall block to conceal the hidden water and watch it drip down into the drain from above.
