- Counters and kitchen units that line up into worktops.
- Side tables and small surfaces for lamps and decorations.

- Mirrors, clocks and picture-style wall decor.
- Plates, bowls, cups and tableware for set dining tables.
- Plant pots and decorative pots for greenery.
- Trophies, statues and pillars for grand interiors.
Functional Furniture
Several pieces do more than decorate:
- Sitting - right-click a chair, stool, bench or couch to sit down. Your character lowers onto the seat; move or sneak to stand back up. Great for taverns, dining rooms and waiting areas.
- Storage - drawers, cupboards and wardrobes open an inventory when right-clicked, so they double as hidden chests that fit a room's style.
- Display - shelves and bookshelves hold books and small items; plates and bowls dress a table for a meal.
The rest of the catalogue is purely cosmetic - rugs, curtains, lamps, pots, trophies and statues exist to make a space look finished.
Furnishing Rooms
Use the families together to build complete spaces:
- Kitchen - line up counters and kitchen units along a wall, add a cupboard for storage and a table with plates to dine at.
- Dining room - a dining table ringed with chairs or benches, set with plates, bowls and cups, lit by a hanging lamp.
- Bedroom - a fancy bed flanked by side tables, a wardrobe for storage, a rug on the floor and curtains at the window.
- Living room - a couch with cushions facing a shelf of books, warmed by lamps and candles, with a clock and mirror on the wall.
- Office / study - a desk and chair, bookshelves behind, and a standing lamp for light.
Tips
- Match the wood type to your build - craft furniture from the same planks you used for the structure so it blends in.
- Right-click to sit in any chair, stool, bench or couch - useful for roleplay scenes and screenshots.
- Place units side by side to form long counters and dining tables; adjacent matching pieces connect into a single surface.
- Layer the decor - a rug under a table, plates on top, a lamp beside it and a trophy on a shelf turns a plain box into a believable room.
- Use storage furniture as disguised chests - drawers, cupboards and wardrobes keep a room tidy while hiding your items.
Crafting & Placement
Furniture is made the same way as any other block:
- Craft at the crafting table using common materials - mostly planks of the wood type you want, with wool, string, iron, glass or dye for specific pieces (cushions, lamps, mirrors, and so on).
- The wood type you craft with decides the finish - craft a chair from spruce planks and you get a spruce chair; the same recipe with birch planks gives a birch chair.
- Place furniture like any block. Most pieces rotate to face you when placed, so chairs, desks and benches line up naturally with the room.
- Larger sets (dining tables, counters, kitchen units) are built by placing several matching pieces next to each other - adjacent units connect visually into one continuous surface.
