How to build a Minecraft mansion

Once you’ve collected the required materials and planned out how you want your mansion to look, you’ll need to assign an area where you will build the structure. This can be any location of your choosing, and you can then begin building the mansion.

Here’s what you need to do summarized:

  1. Assign an area in Minecraft for your mansion.
  2. Divide this location into different sections.
  3. Build the lowest level of the mansion.
  4. Progress from there as you complete the rest of the structure.
  5. Fill all the rooms with items.

We’ll go over the details provided by YouTuber ‘Rizzial’ in the creation of their mansion.

The foundation of the mansion

Clear out a 30 by 25 area of all obstacles, including trees, rocks, and animals. You’ll need a smooth and clear area upon which you can start laying the foundation of the mansion. Once that’s done, you can start building the mansion.

Here’s what to do:

  1. Place 3 layers of smooth quarts on top of the foundation to build the walls.
  2. Replace the ground with deepslate and acacia planks.
  3. Add a few oak doors to the walls.
  4. Cover the area with a layer of smooth quartz to create a ceiling.

Top floors of the mansion

Follow these steps:

  1. Add gray concrete around the walls.
  2. Add 3 layers of smooth quartz to make the walls.
  3. Cover this area with smooth quartz to make the ceiling.
  4. Add grey concrete to the edges of the area.
  5. Make smooth quartz walls on top of them.
  6. Build two vertical columns of grey concrete around the sections where you left openings in the walls.
  7. You can then connect these from the top.
  8. Cover the area with deepslate brick slabs.

Mansion details

Now that all the floors of your dream mansion have been completed, you’ll need to start adding details to the structure so that it doesn’t feel like just a collection of walls and ceilings.

Here’s how to add the details:

  1. Start by adding a row of smooth quartz to the top of the second floor.
  2. Add a row of smooth quartz slabs to the top half of these blocks.
  3. Add another row of slabs below the grey concrete.
  4. Fill in the gray concrete sections with black glass panes for the windows.
  5. Add windows where you see fit around the rest of the house.
  6. Add a door to the balcony of the house and place a railing made of black glass panes around it.
  7. Add a garage door at the front using deepslate brick walls with a few stone buttons on the side.
  8. Finally, add a driveway using smooth quartz and deepslate.

We recommend viewing your mansion from a variety of angles to make sure that it looks exactly how you want it to look. If you find yourself stuck during the planning process, we recommend taking a look at existing mansions from other players for inspiration.
