Oftentimes, the most challenging part of playing Minecraft is when you spawn into a world for the first time. That's because you come into the world with nothing, and things can quickly become overwhelming if you don't already have a plan in mind. Heck, you won't even have a map yet. One of the first things you'll want to do is build a house as soon as possible. Thankfully, your first house doesn't need to be anything fancy. It just needs the bare minimum to live. This guide will break down everything you'll need to know about building the best starter house in Minecraft.
Break Trees
Minecraft will start you off near trees when you spawn for the first time. You'll want to use this to your advantage. The first thing you'll want to do is begin breaking down many trees by punching them and collecting the wood that's left behind. Once you've collected enough wood, you'll want to convert it into Wood Planks. Don't worry because you can do this without a Crafting Table.
Build a small house
Now that you've collected enough wood, you'll want to build a small house where you can stay. The size of it doesn't matter, but we recommend starting with a 5x4 size. Don't worry about making specific rooms. Make sure you have enough room to store all the essentials. While making your house, it's important to mention that you should hold off on the roof until you've placed a few torches around to ensure hostile mobs don't spawn inside.
