Building a Complete House Out of Dirt and Grass

Dirt Deco Mod focuses on letting you construct houses and decorative structures primarily using dirt and related materials. You can combine regular dirt blocks with freshly crafted grass blocks to create an organic, rustic dwelling.

Framing Walls and Layout

Start by laying the foundation and basic architecture of your building using ordinary dirt:

1. Clear a flat plot of land for your home's perimeter.

2. Place dirt blocks along the outline of your floor plan to mark the rooms and doorways.

3. Build your dirt walls upward to a comfortable ceiling height, leaving empty spaces for door frames and windows.

Incorporating Living Grass Accents

Instead of leaving your structure as a plain brown cube, use the mod's grass crafting recipe to introduce color:

1. Craft grass blocks at your crafting bench by placing dirt in the center and filling the surrounding eight slots with wheat seeds.

2. Lay these crafted grass blocks along the roofline or use them to make a living green roof.

3. Line the base of your dirt exterior walls with grass blocks to blend the structure seamlessly into the surrounding terrain.

4. Place torches or lanterns along the dirt walls to keep the interior well lit.
