Intro
The video introduces five roof designs for Minecraft, addressing the common struggle players face in creating appealing roofs. The designs are versatile and can be adapted to different building sizes.
Crown Roof for Square Houses
The first design is for a basic square house, often seen with a flat, unappealing roof. To improve this, create arches on all four sides by stepping up blocks towards the middle. Fill in the arches, then connect the top blocks to form a cross. Remove corner blocks and add stairs to fill the gaps, creating a "crowned" effect. Use dark oak slabs for added texture and overhangs for detail. A variation involves adding stairs under the existing ones for a bolder trim, using spruce slabs to maintain consistency.
Double Arch Roof for Rectangular Houses
The second design addresses the rectangular box house, which often has a simple arched roof. The author suggests doubling the height of the arch to create a grander appearance. Use dark oak stairs as a trim and spruce stairs as filler. Add dark oak stairs underneath the edges to smooth the roofline. Create outcroppings by removing blocks and adding stairs and planks to form window areas. The video explains how to adjust the design for both odd and even-sized walls, ensuring the outcroppings fit properly.
Gothic Roof for Stone Builds
The third design is a Gothic-style roof suitable for stone or stone brick builds. Start by creating a two-block high ring of cyan terracotta around the edge of the building. Continue filling in rings, moving inward and upward to form a cone shape. Play with the corners by removing them and adding stone bricks and cobblestone walls for detail. Add a trim of stone brick stairs around the bottom and fill in with cobblestone walls, skipping every other block for an interesting look. The top can be decorated with stone bricks, upside-down stairs, and walls to create a unique finish.
Flat Top Roof for Simple Structures
The fourth design is a flat top roof, ideal for small, simple houses or temporary structures. Create an outer ring of half slabs, then add another layer of half slabs inside and fill in the remaining area. Add a trim around the outside, skipping the corners for sharpness. This design is scalable and modular, suitable for both small and large houses.
Five-Point Tower Roof for Grand Towers
The fifth design is a five-point tower roof, perfect for large towers. Start by creating L-shapes on each side of the tower, then connect them with a cross. Build up the center and the points. Use cyan and red terracotta to fill in the areas. Add cobblestone bricks and stairs to smooth out the edges and create a gradient. The design can be modified into a nine-point tower by adding more points around the outside. The key is to create jagged edges and ensure the main build is taller than the rest.
