Minecraft starter house ideas
Small and medium houses, then the farm and the mine that make a survival start.
A starter house in Minecraft is the first roof, not the base you are still finishing in week three. In this gallery that means the 11 small and medium houses, from 751 to 1,323 blocks. Pair one with a farm and a mine and you have a survival start that fits in a single evening.
Read starter house tips before you place anything: door, bed, light, chest, crafting table, furnace. Then read survival base ideas for the next buildings. The small builds filter is the rest of the short list, including things that are not houses.

Questions
What counts as a starter house here?
A house tagged small or medium. Huge plans are in the house gallery, but they are a poor first night.
Can two players share one?
Yes. Place it once with the datapack, or build it by hand from the material list. The page does not assume a mod.
Is this a survival map download?
No. These are individual builds. You put them in a world you already have.
Mac and Windows. On a Mac, Blocksmith is notarised by Apple and opens normally. On Windows, the installer isn’t code-signed yet, so SmartScreen may say “Windows protected your PC”: choose More info, then Run anyway.
