Back in January, I created a cozy little cottage in Minecraft. While I liked the strange twist I put on it at the time, it needed an update.

This time, I went for a more classic style. Since January, I have watched many Minecraft videos (Minecraft streams are a surprisingly good background for working) and decided to go beyond a one-room cottage. I created seven spaces: a kitchen, a living room, two bedrooms, and an outdoor living space. I also built a stable to keep horses in. The cabin is two stories and features a second-floor balcony.

The interior design of the original cottage was non-existent. This time, I added in light features, artwork, rugs, and a fireplace (which, every time I lit, lit the house on fire). I even added some decorative end tables.

Additionally, keeping in tune with the first cabin, I added some animals. There are two horses in the stable named Smoke and Astra, two polar bears inside the fence named Snowbell and Lars, and three dogs named Colton, Prince, and Floof. So I decided to forgo the pandas in favor of the polar bears because the pandas would not have survived in that climate.

This build was enjoyable to do. It took a lot less time to do because I had more building experience and the available tips and tricks. I used a different roofing style and added half-slabs of wood outside the house to break up the two floors. While my first cottage was incredibly boxy and flat, this cottage has much more definition and visual appeal.
