Tutorials/Shelter types

This is a list of many types of shelters. It includes shelters that are used in almost every game to those that have only been used once or twice.

Organization
These shelters are organized by how long it would take to build them. Obviously, these can vary, depending on how detailed you make it.

Note that a day only includes the daytime portion, and not the night. Also, material collection time is not included.

Nomadic: Easiest type of shelter to build. Doesn't offer much protection, especially from creeper attacks. These are generally the type you would build while the sun is setting. Time: Almost none.

Easy: These usually work with the map. They offer some protection. Time: 1/2 day.

Medium: These are freestanding structures. They offer a good amount of protection. Time: 1 day.

Hard: These structures can be very time-consuming to make. However, they offer a great amount of protection. 2-10 days.

Innovative: Although these structures are the toughest to build, they do not always offer the most protection. They focus on feats of engineering. Time: ?.

Treehouse
Treehouses provide a high base. They are useful especially against creepers, because most are too high for a creeper's explosion to reach. They are often used with a bow and arrows.
