    Minecraft offers quite a few different structures to build in the world you like and these structures rely on your creativity. You could say the sky is the limit. Minecraft farm houses are one of the options that you can go for if you are looking to build a simple world with a cozy environment. A farmhouse usually includes farmland and animal pens, which simplifies daily routines. How do you build one? That is the tricky part. Here are some of YouTubers' best Minecraft farm houses and how to build them!

    What is a Minecraft farm?

    A Minecraft farm is a plot of land where players grow crops like wheat, potatoes, or carrots. Players can build a farm in almost any biome. As you may expect, water is the main requirement. Place a water source block next to dirt blocks, then use a hoe on the dirt and it becomes farmland. Plant seeds in the new farmland. Adequate light is also very important. Sunlight works best, but torches and other lights are also helpful.

    How to make a farmhouse in Minecraft?

    First things first, select a flat area near water. Lay a simple foundation with wood or stone blocks. Raise walls and attach a roof, befre adding windows and doors. Place torches or lanterns inside to keep mobs away. Build a fence or wall around the house to block roaming creatures. Place a crafting table, furnace and chest near each other for easy access and don’t forget to keep a bed in a safe corner.

    Place crop fields next to the house. Water them with a source block and hoe the dirt to make farmland. Plant seeds and use torches for extra light. Keep animals in pens for meat, eggs, or milk.
