Tutorials/Building micro shelters

A MicroShelter is a compact shelter that can fit all of these supplies inside: Bed, furnace, crafting table, dual wheat farm, a light source, a double chest, and a door. It can be built very quickly, and requires very few supplies to build.

Supplies

 * 1 bed


 * 12 slabs (any kind)


 * 1 torch


 * 1 crafting table and furnace


 * Any hoe


 * 2 seeds


 * 14 blocks (any kind)


 * 1 wooden door (or 6 planks)


 * 2 buckets of water

Step 1
Place 2 blocks, and put a bed on top. Break the blocks, but leave the bed floating.

Step 2
Dig a hole one block deep along one side of the bed. Fill the hole with water. Use the hoe on the dirt under the bed.

Step 3
Build walls like this around the bed

Step 4
Place blocks over, but not inside of the water

Step 5
Place the chests on top of the new blocks.

Step 6
Break these blocks, and fill the space with the table and furnace

Step 7
Place a door where the yellow block is. Make sure to place from the inside.

Place the torch on the last free block inside.

Put slabs across the top as the roof. Plant your seeds on the farmland inside.

MiniShelters
MiniShelters are slightly larger shelters that provides an extra anvil and some space, finally! You do spawn on the roof, but it is safe to jump off.

Step 1


Create a two block high enclosure like so.

Put a floating bed like so, by putting two blocks on top of floor, then putting a bed on, finally breaking the two blocks up.

Don't remove the bed, I've removed it for clarity. Dig under the bed and the two blocks in the wall by the under-bed blocks.
