How to build The Simpsons House in Minecraft

742 Evergreen Terrace, straight out of the opening credits: the two-storey pink house with its brown-red hip roof, white trim, bay window and attached garage with the brown door. Homer's pink sedan and Marge's orange station wagon sit in the driveway behind the white picket fence, Bart's treehouse is up in the backyard tree, and a giant pink frosted donut with sprinkles stands on a pedestal in the front yard. Inside: the purple couch facing the TV under the sailboat painting (with Homer's dent in it), the kitchen, Bart's and Lisa's bedrooms, Maggie's crib and the parents' room.

Building tips

1. Pink concrete reads as the cartoon salmon from a distance; keep every window frame, corner and the front door surround in white concrete so the colours pop like the show.
2. Build the hip roof as a stack of stair rings, each one block in and one block up, then cap the last narrow strip with brick slabs.
3. Place the couch against the back wall of the living room and hang the sailboat painting just above its back. Swap one seat cushion for a carpet to make Homer’s dent.
4. For the picket fence, alternate a white block topped with a quartz slab and a top slab on its own: from the street it looks like pointed pickets with a rail.
5. Build the donut as a ring: every block whose distance from the centre is close to the ring radius, three blocks thick. Frost both flat faces pink and scatter coloured sprinkles across the frosting.
6. Do the treehouse platform before the canopy, then carve the leaves back out of the room so you can stand inside.
