This is where they can let their imagination run wild and adorn the base with whatever items they have. Not all decorations need to have a practical purpose in Minecraft. Since building is a fascinating aspect of the sandbox title, newcomers can invest their time in creating a beautiful structure for themselves.

Beginners can start their decoration by placing carpets on the floor strategically to create a beautiful design. These items can be made easily if gamers have different kinds of dye and loads of sheep to shear wool from. Instead of going for a dull block-like texture, newcomers can use different colored carpets to decorate the floor.

Most players will simply create their base with wooden or stone blocks. These kinds of blocks are best for building the structure itself, but they are quite bland to look at. Hence, gamers can add different kinds of vegetation blocks like vines, glowberries, flower pots, moss, and more to their base. This will give it a more natural look and can drastically enhance the structure's beauty.

Though stair blocks are generally used to climb up and down certain structures or areas, beginners can use them in several other ways. For example, slanting roofs can be made with stairs to ensure a smoother gradient, and stairs can be used to create interior furniture like chairs and sofas. Even though players won't be able to sit on them, they will act as decorative pieces in the base.

There are many different types of wood blocks available in the game that beginners can easily collect and use. They can create designs by combining different wood blocks.

Each wood type has a different shade of brown or orange. This is why the types of designs that can be obtained by merging these blocks can be very appealing. This is specifically great news for beginners as they won't have rare kinds of blocks early in the game.

Torches are among the most basic light-emitting blocks. They can be created by combining sticks and coal. However, beginners should mostly save torches for cave exploration and mining.

If they want to light up their bases, they must always try to use more aesthetically pleasing light-emitting blocks like lanterns. These can be crafted by combining iron nuggets and torches. Lanterns can also be used to create custom lamps to illuminate areas outside the base as well.
