I wanted to make a really interesting 9x9 here. Also the lack of Birch wood was killing me. I don't know what mod every block came from so I am just going to say I made this in the FTB Unleashed modpack you can find all the blocks in there. Now the blocks from the inventory picture of blocks used in the build.
Apple Wood, Apple Wood Slab, Apple Stair, Birch Wood, Birch Slab, Birch Stairs, Bleached Bone Block Stairs, Bleached Bone Slab, Energized Glowstone, Fancy Stone Brick, Nagastone, Nagastone Head, Reappearing Block,
Sandy Block Stairs, Sand Block Slab, Sign, Stone Road, Smoking Block, Trapdoor.
Now to discuss my build. Apple Wood and Birch wood go really well together so I decided to use them right from the start. I started the build with a birch wood 9x9, I added the apple wood to it and put the fancy stone in the walls 1 block away from each other. I extended the doorway in such a way where it doesn't affect the inside. out of slabs and stairs I used the reappearing blocks for the door. I then decided a chimney would be good and I used the smoking blocks to make them smoke. Then I got the idea of making a nagastone halo above the house because you know why not. Then I decided to use Energized glowstone on the roof it makes an interesting way to light up your house. I then added the stairs and trapdoors with signs on the corners and the sign in the chimney. It just makes you wonder.. what is the secret under the chimney. The secret is nothing! Because I was to lazy to make the labs and stuff under it but that's where I like to keep my machines underground.
I DEMAND CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM also you'll see a bunch of energized glow stone above my roof I had a little accident and it takes forever to flow upwards after picking it all up with a bucket.
