Decorations shouldn't just be present on the bottom levels of your Minecraft base, but this is often the case. Adding a ceiling fan to your base is an excellent way to remedy that.

To build a ceiling fan in Minecraft, players will need to suspend a trapdoor from the ceiling. Then place some string on the sides of the trapdoor. From there, all the player needs to do is place their carpet of choice on top of the string. This creates the blades of the ceiling fan and completes the build.


1) Modern bed

Beds are one of the most crucial parts of a Minecraft player's base. As such, players will want to put some thought into how they design theirs.

This design is made by building a structure of snow and quartz steps around the player's beds. The result is a sleek, elegant design.

There are also some more decorative elements to this build. Players can also use dead coral to add a modern rug around their bed, although regular carpets can also be used.


Designing a modern Minecraft base can be difficult. Luckily, there are many modern decoration designs that players can use to brighten up their bases.
