Talk:Tutorials/Building micro shelters

Hmmm...
So... I guess you spawn where the torch is? I guess it's faintly useful to have a couple of squares of farmland in your shelter -- less useful if you're using that bed much, but you can at least get a bit of wheat and seeds (or carrots) for gathering animals, or a couple of potatoes for yourself. More importantly, this design leaves you kind of stuck if there's a creeper around when you want to come out, especially if you don't have glass handy. And it does need a few things I'm not likely to be carrying in the field.... --Mental Mouse 21:33, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

Um...
I slept in the bed and spawned in the roof above the head of the bed.

:P
Tried it on a new save, killed myself, and get the message "Your bed was missing or ob constructed", use at own risk!--128.65.169.94 18:04, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Spotted a bug in the directions.
The step 3 image (which predates my expanded description) has wall blocks placed above the head of the bed. Those blocks are broken in step 6, and not used afterwards. Why not just not place them in the first place? --Mental Mouse 13:54, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Also, the bare minimums are wrong. I get the following plank counts: Total: 39 planks, which is 10 logs plus 1 spare plank. --Mental Mouse 14:14, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
 * 16 for 2 chests
 * 3 for the bed
 * 6 for 12 slabs
 * 6 for a door
 * 4 for a crafting table
 * 2 for 4 sticks
 * 2 for a hoe (and 2 of the sticks)
