Minecraft: 8 Best Jungle House Ideas

Summary

• Jungle biome offers visually appealing, challenging terrain for building in Minecraft. Unique opportunities for awesome builds.
• Treehouse builds in jungle biome offer cozy vibe, expandable options, and blend well with surrounding tree environment.
• Designs like The Top-Heavy Treehouse and The Square-Style make creative use of wood materials in jungle builds.

Possibly no biome in Minecraft is denser than the jungle. Thick, tall trees abound everywhere, with brush and bamboo scattered across the ground. It's one of the more visually appealing biomes in the game, but also one of the more difficult terrains to traverse.

Minecraft: 15 Rarest Biomes

Minecraft has several interesting biomes that might pop up in your world, but some are rarer than others.

That doesn't mean that it's an impossible biome to build your home in, though. While there are difficulties with building in a jungle that are unique, that also means there are unique opportunities to create an awesome build in a jungle that you cannot build anywhere else.

8 One Chunk Treehouse

• Build by: MegRae

This is a build that uses an extremely limited palette, but gets as much mileage as it can out of that palette. Built around one of the outrageously large trees found in the jungle biome, it's high up enough to give you a nice view, without necessarily putting you above the rest of the jungle.

Consisting almost entirely of wood, this has a surprisingly cozy vibe on the interior for a home that's so non-traditional in many other ways, and is one of the easier early-game survival builds. That said, it's also a build that would be very easy to expand upon as you progress in your survival world, either across onto other trees, or expanded up higher on a tree that you might extend a bit.

7 The Top-Heavy Treehouse

• Build by: Lex The Builder

An artificial treehouse, this build doesn't necessarily have to end up in a jungle, but would be a great fit in one, especially if the oak wood of this was replaced with jungle wood. This is a super vertical build, making it a good fit alongside the jungle trees.

This build also has a really interesting layout, expanding at the very top, with some other interesting elements on the sides on the way up, too. Altogether, it has a very Keebler Elf flavor going for it, and would be really fun to come home to after an adventure.

6 The Spacious Treehouse

• Build by: Stevler

One of the more expansive treehouse builds, this one promises not to feel claustrophobic on the inside. There are multiple rooms branching off of the sides with a balcony on the top, keeping this a treehouse that doesn't feel exclusively vertical.

That's not to say that it isn't tall; it's going to fit right in with the rest of the jungle trees around. And, this is another build that would be pretty easy to expand upon. Bridges could be built branching off to other trees, making what could feel like an Ewok village sprawling across a portion of the jungle.

5 The Flat-Top

• Build by: Reimiho

One of the jungle house designs that is not a tree house, this is still a house that is primarily made of trees. That being said, aside from wood, this build includes quite a bit of stone materials, as well, making for a palette that has some good contrast to it.

This build also makes quite a bit of use of the exterior space, which is not always typical of a jungle build. With this build on the ground, the jungle trees surrounding it could cast some interesting shadows on this build throughout the day, and at night, could frame the moon through the treetops in an interesting way.

4 Stripped-Wood House

• Build by: Folli

Another house placed firmly on the ground instead of branching up a tree, this build makes an unusually heavy use of stripped wood, giving it a very unique look where the wooden planks are the darker part of the palette, as opposed to the lighter part.

With a cool firepace, interesting windows and a very condensed space, this build manages to feel very cozy without feeling like the walls are closing in. The smaller interior also puts a heavier emphasis on the exterior space, helping you to spend more time in and enjoy the jungle more.

3 The Square-Style

• Build by: Block Architecture

A very hard-edged build making heavy use of squared-off, 90-degree angles, this build uses a mix of different wood types, making a palette that balances light and dark colors very well. It also manages to add just a touch of green around the exterior, which helps blend the rest of the palette together well.

This is one of the larger jungle builds here, with quite a bit of room inside. There are a lot of wide windows placed around the build, so even though the build is big enough that you might be spending quite a bit of time on the inside, the windows ensure you'll still be able to enjoy the jungle outside.

2 Very-Vertical Treehouse

• Build by: Spudetti

A ridiculously tall jungle treehouse, this build truly looks like someone has wrapped multiple houses around a tree in the best possible way. Another primarily wooden palette mixed with a healthy dose of green, this build makes unique use of the jungle tree vines as a way to enter the actual house.

Because of the elevation and open nature of a lot of the walls, this build feel very open, even in an interior that's not especially spacious. This is an especially cool build to be inside of when it's raining, as the rain catches on your home, but otherwise, the rain falls past, way down to the trees or ground below.

1 The Expansive Treehouse

• Build by: DiddiHD

This is a really beautiful treehouse, especially at night when it's all lit up by the lanterns placed around the exterior. This is another treehouse build that's quite tall, probably outreaching a lot of the other jungle trees around.

This build also has quite a lot of different rooms placed around the tree, making for unique areas that all have a different flavor and a different purpose. It mixes aesthetics with functionality very well, making the jungle around it look better with its presence.
