Minecraft building guides and blueprints: every block, every layer, in order.
You found a house you love, followed along, and it came out crooked. These Minecraft blueprints fix that. Every guide starts with the exact block list, a plan you can read one layer at a time, and numbered steps that put each piece in its place. You can look through every build before paying.
No video to pause, no schematic mod to install, no guessing which block goes where.

Building guides for every level, from your first dirt hut to a full castle
12 Minecraft build ideas, with new builds every week
Starter huts, cozy cottages, Japanese houses, survival bases and castles. Every Minecraft house building guide here is an original design with its own plate number in the atlas, and where a build has rooms, an interior chapter furnishes them. Easy builds fit into one evening; Hard builds are projects you come back to for weeks. Each card shows the level and the number of steps, so you can pick one that fits your time.

How to build in Minecraft, one small step at a time
If you can place a block, you can finish a big Minecraft build. The hard part is counting and keeping your place, not the building itself, and each guide does both for you. All that's left is the fun part.
- 01
Pick a build.
Every build shows its size, build time, how many chests you'll need and which blocks are hard to find, before you place anything.
- 02
Gather the blocks.
Tick off each item as you collect it. Switch to raw materials to see the logs and stone behind the planks and bricks.
- 03
Follow the numbered steps.
Prop your phone next to the game. Each step shows the new blocks in red right where they go, with their names and counts beside them. Tap Next.
Minecraft building tips for beginners: pick an Easy build under 100 steps, gather everything on the block list before you start, and switch to the blueprint when a wall gets busy. One finished hut teaches more than three half-built castles.
Every build guide comes with the same six things
The block list, the blueprint and the steps all come from the same build, so they always agree. Here's what every build guide includes, from the smallest hut to the biggest castle.
An exact block list.
Every item counted in stacks and chests, with hard-to-find blocks flagged and every count matching the steps. Free on every build.
A blueprint for every layer.
A top-down grid with one square per block, so you see one layer at a time and nothing gets lost.
Small numbered steps.
Usually 5 to 15 blocks each, highlighted, named and counted, so you never mix up a slab and a stair.
The inside, too.
Where a build has rooms, an interior chapter furnishes them, so you finish with a home, not an empty shell.
It keeps your place.
Close it tonight and pick up from the same step next week. Your plan and your progress belong to your account, so they follow you to any device you sign in on.
Made for a second screen.
Big buttons, no swiping, and the screen stays awake while you play Minecraft beside it.
A Minecraft building app that runs in your browser
Stand your phone or tablet next to the screen and BlockyAtlas works like an app: full-screen steps, buttons big enough to hit with one thumb while the other hand stays on the controller, and a screen that stays awake. Add it to your home screen and your current build is one tap away. Nothing to download from a store, nothing to install on your console or PC, and nothing touches your world or save files, so the same guide works for Minecraft on Switch, Xbox, PlayStation, computer and phone.
iPhone and iPad: tap Share, then Add to Home Screen.
Android: open the browser menu, then Add to Home screen.
Why a guide beats pausing a video every ten seconds
Videos are great for deciding what to build. Once you start placing blocks, a Minecraft building website that does the counting is easier to follow: you set the pace, and every row is already counted for you.
Scroll the table sideways, or use the buttons below it.

Minecraft building help, answered
Do the guides work for Minecraft Java and Bedrock?
Yes. Every guide is pictures, blueprints and block lists, so it works with either edition, and each build page lists the editions it suits. Tell us where you play once and block names match your game. Java (.litematic, .schem) and Bedrock (.mcstructure) files come with Pro.
Can I use it with Switch, Xbox or PlayStation?
Yes. Open BlockyAtlas on a phone or tablet next to your TV and follow along. Nothing is installed on the console.
Do I need mods?
No. Every build is vanilla Minecraft, and you place each piece yourself in survival or creative, so nothing is imported into your world. If you like Litematica or structure blocks, Pro includes the files.
How much is free?
The first chapters of every build, every block list, the first floor of every blueprint, and 3 complete builds every week. A free account adds 1 full build of your choice. No card needed.
Where should a beginner start?
With an Easy build under 100 steps. Easy builds are shorter and use fewer kinds of blocks, and this week's free set is the quickest way in.
Do I need to download an app?
No. BlockyAtlas runs in your browser and works like an app on phones and tablets. Add it to your home screen and it opens full screen.
How do I cancel?
Go to Account, choose Cancel subscription, then confirm. You keep Pro until the end of the period you paid for.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. Within 14 days of your first payment, no questions asked. Email support@blockyatlas.com and we usually reply within one working day.
How often are new builds added?
New Minecraft builds go up every week, on the same day each week, and the newest show first in the catalog. Pro includes every build added later.
