How to build Snoopy's Doghouse in Minecraft

The famous red doghouse with its white-trimmed peaked roof and arched doorway. Snoopy naps on his back along the ridge, ears flopped over the sides and feet in the air, while little yellow Woodstock sits on his tummy. Out front is his red supper dish next to a mat with SNOOPY spelled out in big letters.

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 roof one step in and one step up per layer. Each slope is just a staircase of red blocks, so count carefully on both sides.
  2. Use white blocks on the front and back edge of the roof only. That thin white trim is what makes it look like the cartoon.
  3. Snoopy is easier to build than he looks: a white sausage for the body, a rounder lump for the head and two black ears hanging down the roof.
  4. Lay the SNOOPY mat with carpet. Place the red background first, then swap in white carpet letter by letter using the layer plan.
  5. Fill the dish with brown carpet for kibble. A real dog can sleep in the doghouse too if you put a bed inside.
