3. The Stone Cutter’s Rustic Workshop
What This Idea Means
A heavy, utility-focused medieval build that looks like it can withstand any storm. It relies on heavy stonework, open-air work sites, and rough-cut wooden structural supports.
How to Make It
Construct a low, wide $8 \times 10$ structure primarily using deepslate, stone bricks, and Andesite. Keep the walls thick and rugged. Leave one full side of the building open under a lean-to roof supported by thick spruce log posts. Inside the covered area, set up a stonecutter, anvils, blast furnaces, and stacks of unrefined stone blocks.
Tips and Variations
- Mix gravel, cobble, and mossy stone bricks around the foundation to simulate scattered masonry dust and stone debris.
- Use stone brick walls and iron bars for windows instead of glass to maintain a rugged, practical look.
- Variation: Add a water wheel on the back wall, suggesting the masonry shop uses hydro-power to saw stone.
Materials Needed
Deepslate tiles, stone bricks, polished andesite, spruce logs, stonecutters, anvils, blast furnaces, and iron bars.
