====Nails====
You'll need one [[large nail] per wall of your house, so, 4 if you're building for a 1x1 house. Activate your iron lump, right - click your small anvil and select ''Create > Construction materials > Large nails''. Repeat this for each large nail you need. If you will be adding a wooden roof or wooden floor to your 1 x 1 house, you'll need 3 [[small nail]]s in total. The process is the same, though you select ''Create > Construction materials > Small nails''. You only need to add a roof, but a floor can be nice to have.
====Door lock====
You'll need one door lock per outside door to make sure your house is secure. You can read up on locks and permissions in the [[permissions|Permissions#Doors]] article. Stealing is illegal on PVE servers, but you'll want your house to stay safe from invading humanoid mobs and nosy neighbors anyway. Activate your iron lump and right - click your small anvil. Select ''Create > Locks > Door lock. These are fairly hard to create at low skill and may take several tries. Don't ignore this step though, as locks are very important.
 
===Planning your House===
The formula to calculate the carpentry skill needed to build a house is the number of tiles + the number of outer walls - 5. A 1x1 house requires 0 carpentry skill, though if you are following this guide, you'll already have some skill from making your mallet and planks.
 
In order to create a house, you need to plan the house on your flattened tile. Activate your mallet and right-click the flat tile you created earlier. Select ''Plan Building''. Once you have completed your housing plan, right-click on the plans of the building and select ''Finalize Build Plan''. You can expand on your house later, if you want, once you have more carpentry skill and supplies.
 
===Building your House===
Now, the fun part - building. Activate your mallet. Make sure you have large nails and at least planks in your inventory. Right-click the wall section that you want to have as your door and select ''Add to [[Crafting Window]]''. You will see the options available to you and you'll want to select either a [[wooden door]], [[wooden canopy]], or [[wooden double door]]. You can repeatedly press ''Create'' on the crafting window to finish building this door. Once it's done, activate your door lock and right-click to attach it to your door.
 
For the other 3 walls of your 1x1 house, follow the same process, though you'll want to select [[wooden walls]] or windows from the crafting window. Don't make any of these walls into an arch, as that won't be secure.
