Every world I create, both survival and creative mode, needs a home. I love building a big house for myself, with different blocks and layouts depending on the server. It gives my spawn points a nice atmosphere that I pretend to live in. My first few homes, when I played on my Xbox 360, were either compact wooden cubes, repurposed Villager houses, or gaudy golden mansions. The older I grew, the more advanced my building style became. Stairs turned into roof tiles, slabs were made into porches, and my walls and floors consisted of wool and fancier stone blocks. Decorations were soon added to my houses, with my favorites being paintings, book shelves, and jukeboxes. It wasn't long before I made every home layout similar to ones in real life. I made sofas out of stairs that overlooked wool televisions covered by paintings, fridges with dispensers full of food, and bunk beds with a ladder for easy access. Each house of mine has three constants: a living area for my chests, a bedroom for my spawn point, and an entire room for all the animals I collect. A habit I developed was my large collection of pets, every single one named and personified. With how attached I was, it was natural to build their own giant room in my house. Most animal beds were dyed carpet, with untamable mobs living in chain cages. My favorite pets received lavish animal sheds - with beds, chests, and furniture- near my home. That way, I know they're safe while I'm wandering the Overworld and the Nether. A server isn't complete without a house to return to after exploring biomes and fighting mobs.
