What you’ll build
Build a long Viking house with a turf roof of moss and grass on a snowy shore. Lay a long fire down the middle, line the walls with benches, add a loom and cooking corner, then move the animals in and spend a whole night by the fire.
Finish line: Your turf-roofed longhouse has a long fire, benches and animals in the byre, and you made it through the night.
Bonus challenge: Add a storehouse for winter food. If 8 crew eat 2 loaves a day for 90 days, how much bread is that? Fill the chests!
You’ll need
- Wood or turf blocks
- Stairs
- Moss and grass blocks
- Campfires
- A loom
- Cow and sheep spawn eggs
You choose
- My longhouse's name
- Walls: timber or turf (dirt and grass)
- Animals in the byre end
Stuck?
- Campfires burn if you stand on them in Survival. Walk round the long fire, not over it.
- Animals wandering into the hall? Fence off the byre end and add a gate.
- Can't sleep through the night? Monsters nearby stop you sleeping. Light the area well.
