Mountain Trail Shelter

A low slab roof and open front make this small shelter feel like a deliberate rest stop along a mountain path. The main floor measures 7 × 5, with a separate 3 × 3 campfire pad in front. Choose a broad, level ledge to accommodate the 9 × 7 roof.

Materials

• 44 cobblestone (35 floor blocks and 9 pad blocks)
• 12 oak logs
• 27 spruce planks
• 63 spruce slabs
• 1 bed
• 1 chest
• 1 crafting table
• 1 lantern
• 1 campfire

How to build

1. Set out the foundation

Set x across the shelter and z toward the rear. The main floor is x = 0–6, z = 0–4, y = 0; the front faces negative z.

1. Level the site and fill the 7 × 5 floor with 35 cobblestone.
2. Add nine cobblestone at x = 2–4, z = −3 to −1, y = 0 for the campfire pad. It touches the main floor without overlapping it.
3. Raise four oak-log posts at x = 0 or 6, z = 0 or 4, from y = 1 to 3. Use 12 logs.
4. Fill the rear wall at z = 4, x = 1–5, y = 1–3 with 15 spruce planks.
5. Fill the left wall at x = 0, z = 1–3, y = 1–3 with nine spruce planks. Build only a low right wall: x = 6, z = 1–3 at y = 1, using three planks. Leave the front open between its corner posts.

2. Complete the structure and details

1. Cover x = −1 to 7 and z = −1 to 5 at y = 4 with 63 bottom-half spruce slabs. This creates a one-block overhang on all four sides. Keep the slabs in a single lower-half layer.
2. Put the bed at x = 1, z = 2–3, y = 1, with its head toward the rear at z = 3.
3. Place a chest at x = 5, z = 3, y = 1 and a crafting table at x = 5, z = 2, y = 1. Leave the space above the chest empty.
4. Hang a lantern at x = 3, z = 2, y = 3 beneath the roof.
5. Put the campfire at x = 3, z = −2, y = 1. This is the middle of the stone pad and lies beyond the front roof edge.

The side section cuts through x = 3: it shows the rear wall, roof, lantern, and campfire. Furniture sits outside this slice and is shown in the first diagram.
