And let's be honest. Out of all the places where you can chill with your friends, a tree house comes pretty close to the first place. But not all of us have big backyards that host large trees, or the time and resources to build one in real life. Luckily, Minecraft is to the rescue.

In Minecraft you can build literally any treehouse you want. You're not bound to limited resources, real-life laws of physics, or the size of a particular tree. Anything is possible in Minecraft, all it takes to build a tree house of your dreams is time and lots of building blocks.

Once it gets finished it can serve as a favorite meeting place for your gang, just like in real life. And the best thing of them all is that the internet is filled with cool tree house designs meaning anyone can build a tree house of their dreams.

All it takes is some time and resources since designs are just a few clicks away. The real problem is finding lots of cool designs in one place.

That problem is solved right here since we gathered lots of awesome tree house designs and shared them here with everyone.

Now, Minecraft tree houses are a bit trickier to construct compared to regular ones. There are some rules and design patterns you need to know in case you don't have hours upon hours to experiment until you construct one.

So, before diving into best Minecraft tree house designs we need to explain the whole process behind constructing a tree house.

How to build a tree house in Minecraft

There are two popular ways to build a tree house. The first includes finding a tree and then carving and modifying it in order to hold a tree house. The second is more straightforward. You just construct a wood block pillar and attach stairs to it.

Building a tree house on top of an existing tree

This can be a bit tricky in case you want to build a large tree house. If that's the case you have to find a tree large enough to house it. If that's not the case and your goal is to learn how to build your first three house just pick any relatively tall tree.

Proceed by creating a staircase made of wooden blocks. It has to go around the tree trunk and be high enough to reach branches. Once you finish it, test it for functionality (you'll have to use on a regular basis once the house gets finished) and then proceed to next step.

Now it's time to remove some canopy and leaves. Just step on the last stair and chop down some leaves, enough to be able to climb into the tree canopy. From then on keep digging around the trunk, just enough to move inside the tree.

Once you get some breathing space start removing bottom side leaf blocks and replace them with a wooden (or any kind you like) floor. Just remember to leave the entrance to the house open.

The floor should go around the tree trunk, to completely encircle it. Once you finished setting the floor it's time for some customizing. Dig some leaves at the side of the tree for windows or a balcony; make space for a bed or other pieces of furniture.

And if the tree is tall enough you can dig next to its trunk and create an entrance to the top of the tree, where you can construct another floor for your house.

Building a tree house on top of a constructed wooden pillar

If you want to build large tree houses with multiple floors and lots of space most trees found around the world map won't be enough. Instead of looking for a perfect tree it's much better (and much less time consuming) to construct a pillar made of wood and then build a house on top of it.

The pillar can be two or more blocks wide (keep it at least four blocks in case you want a bigger house) and height is up to you to decide. Build it until you think it's tall enough. Be sure to add ladders to the side of the pillar, you'll need them.

Once you find a perfect height for your first story, just start adding floor blocks around the base of the pillar and expand the floor until it becomes wide enough. From then on it is all up to you. The base is easy to create and then you can add walls, multiple floors, windows, multiple rooms, etc.

The pillar tree house is much easier to construct and it's a much better choice for those who like to tinker their buildings. Okay, now when you know how to build one, let's check out some cool Minecraft tree house designs.
