This list is about treehouses. We have 8 Best House Minecraft Ideas to help!

Minecraft Treehouses

Two things to remember as you scroll through the treehouse designs we love:

It is up to you to decide the size of your treehouse. This will depend on whether it is your main hub or an addition. The biome where you are building will also affect the amount of trees you can use from trees that have been naturally created.

We've compiled a list of the best Minecraft treehouse ideas, from simple starter houses to more complex designs and even challenging builds.

1. Simple Treehouse

If you are having trouble building a Minecraft treehouse, it is best to start simple. Attach a small four-walled house and a tree to which you can find a tree of sufficient height. It doesn't matter if it hangs from the tree or is on the ground nearby.

You can also expand outwards and upwards, artificially increasing the tree's height as you go along in the game. GAMES If you're new to Minecraft or building this type of house, definitely start here.

2. Jungle Treehouse

It makes sense to build a high-rise structure in the biome with the highest trees. The abundance of tightly-packed tall trees and hanging vines allow an easy method of interconnecting various small structures.

The vines that decorate many Jungle biomes trees can be used as a ladder. However, you can also place them all around the tree to create natural camouflage or cover.

This is a great project for friends who are in a multiplayer game. Each house will create a lovely Ewok-style village.

3. Leaf House

Are you having trouble getting your house to look right? Try clinging on to a tree. Think outside the box and place your home base among the leaves of a Tree. You can create a bubble with leaves by using Shears.

Even though this might limit your options for decoration and scope, it can still be a great way for your home to blend in with the environment.

As a tip: turn your graphic settings from Fancy to Fast and the leaves will no longer be translucent, meaning any build beneath the leaves will be completely invisible.

4. A Literal Tree House

If you are looking to make things even more unique and unusual, instead of searching for the perfect tree to call your home, build it yourself. Although it is not the most efficient way to use resources, it can be fun to build your house so it looks like a tree.

5. Nether Tree House

With the Nether gaining forest biomes as of late, you can take advantage of the new leafy real estate to build a home up high in the deep down below. While Crimson Blocks, Netherrack and Crimson Blocks are unique to the Nether, they can make your home feel more at home in the Nether's surroundings. However, it could also mean that you may lose it as it blends in with its surroundings.

There are threats abound in the Nether, so if you have access to a surplus of Obsidian, it might be worth building your house (or the outer shell at the very least) with it. That way, any Ghast fireballs that stray near your build, the damage will be drastically reduced.

6. Tree Root House

Want to try something different? Take some Stripped Logs underground to make some tree roots. You can hang a house by using the roots.

To give your underground home a natural look, add some Spore Blossom, Pointed Dripstone and Glow Lichen.

7. Bonus: Make a tree house for every type of tree

If you're feeling up to it, you can make a treehouse for each type of Minecraft tree in the game. We mean all of them: Oak Spruce, Birch Dark Oak and Jungle.
