Dirtcore Hovel

So let's get your Hovel whipped into shape.

First off, if we're doing this, it will be made of Clay. Not Dirt or any other pansy block. CLAY.

Second, it needs to be at least 6 blocks long by 6 blocks wide.
#pgx1
Now Clay isn't the strongest building material, but it should be enough to shelter you while you get your strength back.

The ceiling should be 3 blocks from the floor. That's 2 blocks high, just enough for you to stand up straight, and then the ceiling.
#pgx2
Like I said before, Clay isn't the strongest. SO. If and when your Hovel stretches more than 3 blocks from a wall, it will need a support.

If you use Clay to support it, you need a 2x2 pillar. If you don't want to use Clay, you can use Logs. BUT--
#pgx3
But if you use Logs, this is the only time this stage you can use them, clear? Don't want your scrawny little back giving out on us.

If you want to use a Log pillar, it only needs to be 1x1
#pgx4
Now this Hovel is going to be a home, not just a hole in a dirt mound. So you're going to build a double door, and you're going to wire them up to either a Wood button or Wood pressure plate.

We are civilized. Even if we are living in Clay at the moment
#pgx5
I also want you to build a 2 long by 2 wide bedroom. You're going to put a bed in there, and you're going to LIKE it.

Somewhere else in your Hovel, I want you to put down a Crafting Bench, and a Double Chest.
#pgx6
And for some finishing touches, add some 1x1 holes to let some light in.
#pgx7
Now, once you're feeling stronger, you're going to be needing some wood. Like, a LOT of it. Because between you and me, you're going to be getting visitors. And a lot of them are going to stay.

Your path to your Kingdom starts here.
#pgx8
So. In preparation for all the building you will need to do, you'll need supplies:

Get at least 64 Logs.

If you have more than one type of useable (not Dead) wood available, try to get at least 3 of each kind of Log.
#pgx9
Also, get 32 Plant Seeds for edible plants. You're going to need to feed yourself and the others somehow.

If you have more than one kind of seed available, try to grab at least 3-4 of each.
#pgx10
And while we're on the subject of things making other things grow--get some saplings. At least 32. Again, if you have a variety available, try to get at least 3-4.

Except the Rubber Trees that stick up at the top. Those things are so rare. Get 1.
#pgx11
And, last but not least, we'll need some Wood Planks. At least 128 Planks. Again, variety is the spice of life. Try to get at least 8 of each kind of wood you have available.
#pgx12
Now, I know you're eager to get going, but remember--no tools. You have to keep your strength up. You want to craft stuff? Fine. Let me make a list of stuff you can craft.
#pgx13

#pgx14
I've gabbed long enough. Get your scrawny butt up off the dirt and get to work!


.......Good luck, kid.
