Converting Old Console Structures into Your Base

Assessing Available Buildings

The Tutorial 31 map preserves the exact layout of classic console edition structures. These incomplete or partially-built houses provide a foundation for your base without requiring you to build from scratch. Walk the starting area and identify which structure suits your needs.

Renovation Process

1. Choose a building close to resources (wood, stone, water)

2. Clear away any unwanted blocks or debris

3. Add walls, doors, and a roof using gathered materials

4. Furnish the interior with crafting tables, furnaces, and storage chests

5. Expand outward by adding rooms or connecting structures

Building Tips

The old console buildings use modern block varieties, so you can match or contrast with existing materials. Keep your base near the starting zone for easy access to hidden chests and familiar landmarks. Consider defensive positioning—place your base where you can see approaching mobs.

Alternatively, demolish an old structure entirely and build something new on the cleared land. The choice depends on whether you prefer renovation or fresh construction.
