Anyone who’s ever played Minecraft knows that unique emotion caused by equal parts jealousy and awe. Anytime you join someone’s world and it’s filled with structural wonders you can’t even begin to imagine much less build it’s hard to not be a little jealous.

Each week we’ll post a short video tutorial, material list, and written step by step directions for how to build a new item! This week we’ll show you how to build a an entire kitchen that’s a lot easier to do then it looks! Click Read More to check out our guide!
