Players who build their first hut in the game will most likely use entire blocks to create a gradual slope roof. However, if they want a smoother roof, they can also use stair blocks. Millions of players have used this as a roof option since it creates a much smoother slope than full blocks.

Players can use different materials to create stairs, like wood, cobblestone, stone bricks, etc.

When players try to build spawn-proof areas around their base, they usually place loads of torches. The light prevents different hostile mobs from spawning. However, torches are quite dull to look at and are esthetically unpleasant.

Hence, players can create a simple street lamp with the help of fences and lanterns. Three or four fences can be placed on top of each other, followed by another fence horizontal to whichever direction a player wants the lamp to hang. Finally, a lantern can be hung from the horizontal fence, creating a street lamp.

Beds are one of the main blocks players interact with within a base. It allows players to sleep and skip the nighttime when all the hostile mobs spawn on the surface of the Overworld. Since the bed is one of the most used things, players can decorate it quite often.

Over the years, players have come up with clever ways to decorate beds by surrounding them with trapdoors or placing banners a few blocks underneath them to create cushions on them as well.

Although players mainly smelt and eat food items on the go, they can also create a beautiful kitchen in their base to imitate a real-life house. Not only that, players can even use this space to cook and manage other food-related items.

One of the main blocks in this room can be a smoker, a special furnace that can cook food items much faster. Moreover, players can place chests as shelves to keep raw food items and coal.
