In 2024, we all need a little escapism in our lives, right? That’s why even as adults, many of us still find ourselves playing Minecraft – and loving it. From the expansive terrain to the vast range of building materials to even just the calming music (as long as you stay away from caves), Minecraft is the perfect way to relax after a stressful day.
Of course, when you start a Minecraft world, the first thing you need to do is build a house. That’s why we’re sharing our roofing expertise and covering the top ten most interesting, most aesthetic, and all-around coolest Minecraft roof designs, all so you can build the perfect home-base for all your mining and crafting adventures.

7. Sloped Terracotta Roof
For a touch of Spanish or Mediterranean flair in your Minecraft world (Alex, I’ll take sentences that have never been spoken before for $500), consider a sloped terracotta roof. To create this look, use yellow, orange, and red terracotta, and you can even incorporate some red sandstone to vary up the texture a bit. Start with a simple pitched roof and then extend the slopes outward for a more authentic look. You can also add details like roof tiles using stairs or slabs to give your build some extra texture. White or light-colored walls complement the terracotta roof perfectly, and you can even incorporate some greenery like leaves and vines to bolster the Mediterranean look. This style is perfect for villas, haciendas, or any other build that aims to capture a laid-back vibe.

5. Dome Roof
4. Mansard Roof
3. Butterfly Roof
2. Flat Modern Roof
1. Gabled Roof
At number one, we have the classic favorite, the gabled roof. This pitched style features two sloped sides that come together at a ridge, creating end walls with a triangular extension known as a gable. This design is great for cottages or medieval-inspired builds, but it’s fairly versatile in how it can be used – another reason why it’s so popular. Plus, you can use contrasting materials for the gables and the roof itself to make it truly stand out.
The sky’s the limit when it comes to roof designs in Minecraft. You can put your own creative spin on any of our Minecraft roof ideas – don’t be afraid to try different materials and shapes to create a style that’s perfect for your unique build. In the end, the most important part of any Minecraft base is that it reflects you, so get out there and build the perfect roof design for you!
