Description

A mushroom as a building

Instead of the square block houses common to many Minecraft sets, The Mushroom House builds around an organic shape: a rounded cap sitting on a straight stem that doubles as the structure holding up the interior. That shape calls for different pieces than a rectangular house would, including curved plates and sloped bricks to shape the dome of the cap. The result is a model that stands apart from typical Minecraft houses through its silhouette alone.

Red and white: the mushroom pattern

The red spots on a white base, familiar from the game's classic mushroom biome, define the outside of the house at a glance. Black handles outline and detail work, while green stands in for the surroundings around the mushroom, such as grass or growth at the base of the stem. Those four colours are enough to make the biome instantly recognisable without needing extra tones. The parts list on this page shows exactly how the spots on the cap are built up.

79 elements for cap and interior

With 79 unique elements out of 272 pieces, a good share of the variety goes into the interior, which matters just as much as the exterior in many Minecraft sets. Furniture-like pieces, shelving and small fittings let the inside of the mushroom read as an actual living space rather than an empty cavity beneath the cap. Working through the parts list shows how the split falls between the facade and the interior fittings.

Two figures in an unusual home

Two minifigures turn the mushroom house into more than a decorative object: they allow for everyday scenes inside a home that only exists in this form in Minecraft. Paired with other Minecraft sets, the mushroom house fits neatly into a larger biome landscape, alongside forest or cave sets for instance. The parts list on this page is useful for tracking down matching red and white pieces for your own mushroom builds.
