STEP 4. Add the Doors & Windows
The front (north-facing) of the house features a birch door. Add a glass pane for the window to the right.
The side (west-facing) of the house features glass pane and oak trapdoor for the windows.
The back (south-facing) of the house features glass pane for the windows.
The side (east-facing) of the house features glass pane and oak trapdoor for the windows.
STEP 5. Build the roof
Above are screenshot examples showing the roofline pattern for the stone and mossy stone brick stairs.
These two screenshots above show the roof being filled with polished granite stairs to demonstrate where the brick stairs will go.
This is what your roof should look like after you’re done copying the pattern and placing a combination of stone and mossy stone brick stairs, plus brick stairs.
STEP 5. Additional Exterior Building
Place birch fence on the corners of each stripped birch log. We will also wrap the front porch with birch fence as shown above. Complete the entrance by putting in a cobblestone and mossy cobblestone stairs in front of the pathway. Add a lantern on each bottom corner of the roof.
