First you look up how they were made and write it down. Most houses had two windows on each side of the door. If they had two floors, beds were upstairs and everything else was downstairs. They had to use a fireplace for their stove, and instead of a bathtub they had to use a wash stand, which is just a bowl of water and a cloth. They didn't even have a bathroom inside! After you found all of that information out, you got to make a sketch of a colonial village and the house you were going to build. Finally, you make your house!
When we started on the inside, we made a fireplace, and that caught our whole house on fire! Breanna told Mason to use torches instead of a fireplace, but he didn't listen. So, then Mason used a bucket of water and kept throwing it everywhere. It put out the fire, but it flooded our house. To fix that, we had to put blocks everywhere there was water. So, we had to rebuild the inside of the house. Thankfully, we didn't have much done on the inside. After we rebuilt the inside of our house, AJ and Gavin showed us their house. They had a fireplace, but it didn't catch their house on fire. We asked how they did it. They said that they did exactly what we did, but for some reason ours had caught on fire. We still aren't sure what happened.
Minecraft in RTI is a lot of fun. Mrs. Wyatt was happy because we could see what colonial houses were made of, but we were happy because we got to play on Minecraft. You can be as creative as you want with your house.
