Replace your Mission 3 flat roof with a pointy roof.
- New skill Using stairs to build a sloped roof
- Level 1 · The Village
- Difficulty Beginner
- Mode Creative
- Time 40–50 min
- Ages 13+
What you’ll build
Give your flat-roofed house a proper makeover. You'll snap a before picture, then lay rows of stairs along each side, stepping each row up and in until they meet at the top. Fill in the peak and the ends, then compare your new pointy roof with the old one.
Finish line: Your house has a sloped stair roof with no holes, and you can show a before and after.
Bonus challenge: Give the dog house a matching roof so they look like a set.
You’ll need
- Stairs in two colours
- Slabs in two colours
- Your house from Mission 3
You choose
- Roof colour (dark oak, spruce, deepslate…)
- Pointy roof, or a softer curved one
- A chimney or a roof window?
Stuck?
- Stairs face the way you're looking when you place them, so turn to face the house before placing each row.
- Upside-down stair? You tapped the top half of a block. Break it and tap the lower half instead.
- Gaps at the ends? Fill them with matching planks or slabs so the roof has no holes.
