Grass Roof Courtyard Home

Place the sunken home

Fit the grass roof into surrounding ground and preserve the open courtyard and descending entrance. This schematic includes underground rooms and an excavation envelope.

1. 1

   Choose the site

   Reserve a clear 46 × 46 block site and the full 46 × 13 × 46 block schematic envelope. Check for existing builds, utilities or caves before replacing terrain.

2. 2

   Align the surface

   Align the roof grass at local Y7 with the surrounding ground block layer; the exterior walking surface is local Y8. The room floor at local Y0 sits seven blocks below that ground layer.

3. 3

   Paste with air

   Load the schematic and use normal WorldEdit //paste, including air. Do not use //paste -a: ignoring air leaves terrain inside the rooms, open stair trench and courtyard.

4. 4

   Check access

   Keep the north arrival at local [23,8,2], descending stair and open courtyard clear. Walk down to the courtyard, then check each glazed wing doorway and the rear kitchen passage.

Use the north arrival as the surface connector. The glass rim guards the inner excavation; inner slopes are not advertised walking routes. Guards are not claimed to be mob-proof. Check your own terrain after pasting; TV, wash fixtures and planting are decorative.
