After a few days I have completed My Minecraft Mountaintop House. It spans a total of over 900 blocks on top of a mountain. The view of the house from the ground is breathtaking. You see it nestled on top of the mountain, as most of it is built on an overhang.
I started off by roaming across my map until I saw something that inspired me. I saw this area, and immediately knew it was my next project. I began my climb up the mountainside until I reached the top. Once on top I lit all the trees on fire to clear the area for some excavation.
I had to dig away about three or four uneven layers of grass to make a level area to build on the whole mountaintop. It took quite a while to accomplish it even with a diamond shovel. Eventually I had it leveled out, and it was time to move to the next step.
I layed my outer foundation for my house using the edge of the mountain as a guide all the way around. It took over 300 blocks just to make it. I than added a second layer before adding the floor. I decided to go with a light blue wool for the carpet inside. After it was done I didn't really care for it too much. It looked too much like water, but after laying 900 blocks for the floor there was no way I was going to do it with a new color.
I continued building the outer walls, and adding huge scenic windows throughout. Once I finally finished I started laying my blocks for my floorplan. The house is huge, and it took some time to get all the room walls up.
After that I started on the decorating by adding beds, chests, fireplaces, a shower, a hot tub, and so on. I am starting to feel like all my houses inside are starting to look the same. I have run out of ideas of things to make.
The final part of the house was adding the roof. The house is such an odd shape I couldn't decide on how to do it. I just ended up making the roof pretty generic, with a few little touches to make it stand out a little.
