make a rectangular prisim and put a roof on it

[Wehrmacht]

start out with a large baseplate area to encircle your build so you know what space you have. then you could layout a basic room layout with different shapes and sizes to make it less boxy and more ____. another way would be building terrain or something else and then forcing your build to adapt around it, therefore creating its shape.

[Dglider]

1. Put down a baseplate
2. Draw some sort of non-boxish outline on the ground out of 1x1s.
3. Replace the 1x1s with walls.
4. Smash holes in the walls where you want to put windows and doors.
5. Place windows and doors.
6. Put some sort of non plate roof on top.  Ramps help.
7. Make it pretty.

With practice you will get better.

Your method sounds fairly dumb Dglider.

[FadedGlory]

1. Make the basic plating
2. Make the exterior shell (the corner blocks) (support framing)
3. Add detail
3a. Make sure they equal the same or they cross evenly if your plate is even
4. ???
5. profit

Ouch, my brain...

Just places a 16x16 base plate, and use 1x2 Bricks to make a walls. Smash walls for door and windows, use 16x16 for roof.

In case you live in Africa, simple addition and subtraction math helps too.

1x2 bricks, yeahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!1!1!1!
Anyway, I have no idea, so I'm a complete hypocrite if I say anything.
I do underground bases and terrain-conforming dwarven stuff.

Step 1: Start up Blockland
Step 2: Join a server/host a server/play singleplayer
Step 3: Build a baseplate
Step 4: Build a house on the baseplate.

oh boy
i could learn a thing or two from this thread

[Clone v.117]

Make it look 3D, instead of building a flat wall, build some pattern that extrudes outwards, it makes a big difference. Also start of by making a shape out of several plates/baseplates instead of just 1 square because it will encourage you to build around it.
