How to build a blacksmith house in Minecraft

Blacksmiths are extremely useful villagers in Minecraft, with chests in their houses that contain a number of valuable resources. Players can find pieces of high-tier armor, weapons, diamonds, tools, and other valuable resources from a blacksmith’s chest.

The mob's house is considered to be a fortunate find when a player is playing survival mode, especially if they are attempting a speedrun. Encountering a blacksmith early on in a playthrough can be extremely beneficial as far as progression is concerned.

Building a blacksmith house can also come in handy when a player is unable to find a naturally occurring blacksmith in their world. Players can build their own blacksmith house (or village, for that matter) and spawn, kidnap, or breed a blacksmith for their house.

Minecraft: Steps to build a blacksmith house

The materials required for the build are listed below:

• 1-2 chests
• Some wooden planks
• Wooden logs
• Fences
• Stairs
• Slabs
• Cobblestone blocks
• Pressure plates
• Iron bars
• A furnace
• A lava bucket
• A gold sword

Once players have assembled the materials, they can build the structure by following the steps listed below:

---

Step 1

The foundation for the house (Image via Minecraft)

Build a 7x9 platform in the shape of a rectangle and fill it in.

---

Step 2

EThe pillars for the walls (Image via Minecraft)

Use logs to build a pillar at least three blocks high. This will serve as the support system for the back of the house. Place additional pillars to support the foundation.

---

Step 3

The back walls (Image via Minecraft)

Place three walls (made using wooden planks) inside the structure, thus completing the back of the build.

---

Step 4

Further construction (Image via Minecraft)

Construct a fourth wall adjacent to the wooden wall. The new wall has to be made from cobblestone or any other material that is difficult to break.

---

Step 5

Some cobblestone finishing (Image via Minecraft)

Fill the unfinished structure's topmost layer with cobblestone blocks.

Step 6

Fences used for the entrance to the house (Image via Minecraft)

Take two fences and place them in the corner that is on the opposite side of the back wall. This will serve as the house’s entrance. Place some stairs at the entrance to bridge the gap between the ground and the floor of the house.

Step 7

Windows on the house (Image via Minecraft)

Return to the three walls that make up the back of the house and punch out two blocks from two of those walls to create windows. Use glass panes to complete the windows.

Step 8

A small, three-block-high doorway must be constructed on the right side of the main entrance.

---

Step 9

Two furnaces (Image via Minecraft)

The area with the furnaces is up next. To the left of the doorway inside, place three wooden planks vertically, then two furnaces on top of a cobblestone block in the same way. Fill up the area behind the furnaces with cobblestone.

Step 10

Make a 2x1 area to the left of the furnaces and place lava inside.

---

Step 11

Iron bars and stone slabs (Image via Minecraft)

Take two iron bars and place them on the left side of the lava containment area. Also, a two-block-high structure made of smooth stone slabs needs to be placed in front of the lava area.

---

Step 12

A makeshift table and seating area (Image via Minecraft)

The corner of the house right in front of the door should have a small sitting area made using oak planks and a table made with a fence and a pressure plate.

Step 13

Place a chest in the other corner of the house.

Step 14

Fill the roof with cobblestone (replicating the house shown in the image above requires cobblestone) and place stone slabs on the perimeter of the roof to complete the build.

Villagers are one of the game’s most loved aspects. One of the many pastimes of players is to try to imitate how the villagers talk in the game. Each of these mobs has a chance to take up a specific profession in a village. As of Minecraft version 1.18, there are 15 different villager professions in the game.
