The Nether is a dangerous, fiery realm in Minecraft. Filled with oceans of lava and populated with a seemingly endless array of hostile mobs, Minecraft’s Nether doesn’t seem like it’d be a great place for a house.

Yet despite the realm’s hostility, many players have found ways to make the Nether home. One way to do this is by building houses. These can be used as bases, storage, or temporary homes. By keeping the constraints of the Nether in mind, players can build incredibly unique houses.

Here’s a list of the top five best Minecraft house designs for the Nether.

This starter house is made mostly out of materials found in Minecraft’s crimson forests and warped forests. While these biomes are found in the Nether, players will need access to the Overworld as well if they wish to include this build’s more decorative elements.

This build incorporates the Nether’s abundance of lava into its design. Players who decide to build themselves this Lava Mill will need access to a source of lava as well as other materials from Minecraft’s Overworld and Nether.

This house also has a small patio, which can be both a scenic addition and strategic defense point.

Pretty and practical, this Nether house includes everything that players need to survive. It does have specific location requirements, though, as it’s built into the side of the Nether’s Basalt Delta biome.

Players will need a lot of basalt and blackstone blocks to build this, as well as some rarer materials from Minecraft’s Overworld and Nether realms.


No matter the preference, Minecraft's Nether can be a great place for players to build their ideal homes.
