How to build Pineapple Under the Sea in Minecraft

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? This one has the criss-cross skin, a riveted round door, porthole windows, a spiky leafy crown and some coral on the sand outside. And it is hollow, so you can move in.

Open the interactive 3D plan above to build it one layer at a time: every layer has a numbered top-down plan, a block list and full-screen step-by-step instructions you can tick off as you go. You can also download it for Litematica, WorldEdit or Minecraft Bedrock, or view it in your room in AR.

Building tips

  1. Build the hollow ellipsoid with orange concrete first, then swap in the dark diagonal lines.
  2. The diagonal pattern is every fourth block along each diagonal. Follow the 2D layer grid.
  3. Leaves fan out one block further for every block they rise.
  4. Build it underwater in a real ocean for the full Bikini Bottom effect.
