In this tutorial, I will show you how to build a rustic medieval tavern in Minecraft. This is one of my larger builds that I wanted to share because it just turned out so nice and I thought it would be a community favorite! This build relies on a variety of textures, so you’ll see a lot of variations in stones. You can definitely use this blueprint as a regular house, but I decorated it as if it’s an actual tavern. This was built in 17.1.1. Java Edition.


How to Build a Rustic Medieval Tavern in Minecraft (Step-by-Step) Tutorial

Step 1. Layout Dimensions

These are the dimensions you will start out with. The marked yellow blocks will eventually be the columns.

Step 2. First Level Flooring

Inside the red outline, clear out and fill with a combination of stone bricks, cracked stone bricks, and cobblestone to add variation.

Step 3. Walls and Columns

On top of the red outline, build four blocks up with a combination of stone bricks, cracked stone bricks, and cobblestone. Then, build six blocks up with smooth sandstone and continue following the pattern above to create the pitch of the house.

On the marked yellow blocks, build eight blocks up with spruce logs as shown above. On the fourth and eighth, build across connecting the spruce logs. On the sides of the house, build a middle support log as shown in the photos.

Step 4. Roof

Here is a view from the back showing the same pattern. On both sides of the house, connect the roof from the bottom with dark oak stairs as shown above.

At the pitch of the roof, connect the dark oak planks from the front to the back of the house.
