Sawmill House for Minecraft

Review Sawmill House

Forest House With a Sawmill

The vanilla version of Minecraft can boast a large number of dungeons that hide a lot of useful loot and diversify the overall gameplay and survival. But even given such an abundance, small mods are still being released and adding special locations. So if you would like to somehow diversify the game world, you can install the Sawmill House add-on, which brings a full-fledged forest house with a sawmill to Minecraft. It is an interesting option for the vanilla world, which fits well with the original design and gameplay. If the player finds such a structure in some biome, they will be able to interact with NPCs inside or even occupy it.

The Sawmill House mod adds an eye-pleasing forest house, where villagers can appear, to the game. It is an elaborate structure with all relevant elements: logs, a large amount of wood, and the possibility of wood rafting — according to the designer's idea, but not everywhere. It is mainly built from various wood types but still looks unusual. There is no lumberjack profession in Minecraft, so you will see standard villagers, usually farmers, there. However, you will be able to collect resources in the chests inside.

The new building does not add any functionality, being just a new structure. You can find the forest house with a sawmill in different biomes, but it most often generates next to a forest. That is basically logical: the building is located closer to the forest area since the NPCs have to take a log and process it, according to the idea. There are usually a few villagers there, but they have an altogether different profession: they are mostly farmers or something like that, as some farming tools can also be seen nearby.

The house itself is quite eye-pleasing and mainly consists of different wood types. It has several tiers, and once the player gets to the first floor, he can climb to the second, which offers a beautiful view from an open veranda. If lightning strikes this house, it will certainly burn down, as it is completely wooden. So you should be careful with such buildings. By the way, on servers, players often resort to certain plugins and means that prohibit the spread of fire or lightning that hits structures.

Next to the building, the designer added several makeshift workplaces: sawmills, scattered wood blocks, etc. Besides, the entire area is illuminated with lanterns so that hostile mobs do not get there. Still, they can approach from other dark territories, and given that there are no golems there, killing the NPCs will be an easy task for zombies. So if you come across a house from the Sawmill House mod, it is recommended to equip the adjacent area and add even more lighting. Inside, it is also elaborate and has all the necessary decorative elements: makeshift furniture, workplaces, beds, potted flowers, chests, and much more.

As for the loot, the Sawmill House mod will allow you to take advantage of various types of resources and tools used by lumberjacks: axes, food, ready-made blocks, processed blocks of wood, planks, etc. If found such a structure at the initial game stages, you can consider yourself very lucky: you will be able not only to stay there overnight but also to take useful resources for further development. However, if the local NPCs are killed, they may not spawn again.

In visual terms, the structure has proved to be a cool and beautiful building that attracts attention and can be used by the player for their purposes. Thus, if you have no construction or design skills at all, you will just be able to take a house from the Sawmill House mod and further develop it as you see fit. At the same time, you will not have to kill the NPCs. They can well be used for trade, and if you put even more job sites and start breeding them, new mobs will appear right in this house. Such an approach will allow you to get an additional place where NPCs can live and you can trade.

It is not so difficult to find the new house: it usually spawns near woodlands. However, players with admin rights can use the /locate structure sawmillhouse:sawmill command to quickly get to this location. You will be able to find there everything we have described in this review and shown in the screenshots. We have tried to add as many images of this house as possible so that you understand the advantages and main features of this add-on. Besides, we recommend you install OptiFine and some shaders to improve its visual side. Then, the new building and the entire location will look even more colorful.
