If you’re looking for enchanting Minecraft Fairy Builds to satisfy your craving for fantasy build ideas, here’s the place to be!
First let’s settle the debate once and for all – yes, there is a difference between fairycore and cottagecore aesthetics.
Cottagecore is all about nature and country-living. Fairycore is the same, but with color, myth and magic sprinkled in. There is a bit of wildness to the fairy aesthetic, while cottagecore focuses on a more “domesticated” vibe.
Now let’s check out some bewitching Minecraft fairycore builds covering houses, gardens, bridges and more while keeping this in mind.
Tall Fairy-Tale Witch House
YouTuber Kelpie The Fox regularly uploads some of the most dreamy Minecraft builds out there.
This towering house with fairy-tale aesthetics is one of them.
It uses plenty of andesite, stone bricks, cobblestone, leaf blocks, lanterns and flowers to achieve this effect.
You would need to install the OptiFine mod as well as Minecraft texture packs to replicate the exact look. But it’s totally worth the effort, don’t you think?
Strawberry Fairy Cottage
Next on my list is a strawberry fairy cottage. This red, green and brown house is built mainly with dyed wool, red mushroom blocks and moss.
You can always substitute the wool and mushroom for something hardier like concrete and/or terracotta blocks in case you want a more robust construction.
Watch the YouTube tutorial (below) by Herbivorous Dragon to learn how to create this incredibly cute house. It’s really simple to make.
Bonus points if you place it on the edge of an old growth forest or in the middle of a cherry grove to give it some extra aesthetic appeal.
Cherry Blossom Fairy Tower
There’s no better wood in Minecraft to convey the fairy-tale aesthetic than cherry tree logs!
Everything about the cherry grove biome caters to fantasy-inclined builders — the pink-hued logs, cherry leaf blocks and carpets of fallen blooms. So why not build a simple tower (complete with a cute banner on top) out of this wood?
Apart from cherry wood, the tower also needs blocks of crimson wood and froglights. The last-mentioned can be substituted with glowstones instead, unless you’re playing in Creative mode and thus, have froglights aplenty.
Froglights spawn when a frog eats a tiny magma cube. So (in Survival), you would have to farm for froglights in a bastion. Watch the video above by YouTuber Jax and Wild to decide whether it’s worth taking the trouble to acquire them or not.
Fairy Lantern Build
Here’s an interesting fairy lantern build by Reddit user blejzak that you can use as part of your Minecraft garden decor.
Suspended from a sculpture built with blue-green Warped wart blocks, this massive lantern is made of blocks of glass, granite and copper.
You could light it up from the inside with glowstone blocks. Or better yet, you could create a fairy house inspired by this cool design.
Don’t forget to place Twisting vines, Warped roots and Nether fungi around the space to lend it a truly spellbinding effect.
Glass Roof Fantasy House
If your Minecraft world had a magic academy like Hogwarts for fairies, this massive, domed glass building would be perfect as one of the main buildings!
You’ll need a tonne of stained glass and spadefuls of imagination to build it. The tutorial video below shows the structure in three cool color and material combinations.
The brown one uses stuff from the Nether like Nether bricks, Soul Sand and more, for example.
But you can use your creativity to make it your own with blocks and colors of your choice.
Amethyst Tree Centerpiece
Now here’s a stunning centerpiece for your Minecraft fairy garden by Pinterest user Katie Rose.
It’s a tree with a trunk and branches made out of wood blocks. The leaves are created from purple Amethyst blocks, buds and clusters.
It is set on a mix of mossy stone stairs and leaf blocks surrounded by wildflowers.
If you can acquire End Rods to set off the sparkles on this magnificent, yet simple masterpiece, you’ll have a piece of garden decor worth boasting about!
Mystical Mushroom House
Nothing screams “mystical woodland creature” as loud as a cutesy mushroom house like the one pictured above.
The materials list to build it is short and sweet. It includes easy-to-access stuff like wood (for doors, trapdoors, slabs, stairs and so on), glass, lanterns, quartz blocks (you can use white concrete blocks instead), bricks and red mushroom blocks.
YouTuber Dad’s Guide has made a building tutorial that is very simple to follow too.
Extra points for you if you set it up in a brooding, dark oak forest.
Fairy Treehouse
This Minecraft treehouse decorated with glowing lanterns and spore blossoms is a charming option in case you’re looking for a place with a view to hang up your coat.
It melds the cottagecore and fairycore vibes in a perfectly balanced way. Apart from the regular suspects like wood, glass, lanterns and stone, you will also need polished Blackstone from the Nether, mud bricks, Azalea leaves, Lily pads, Terracotta and more to complete the build.
Of course, you can always substitute some of the materials that are tougher to acquire with more abundant blocks if you’re playing in Survival mode.
Check out the above tutorial by YouTuber iisabelline for all the details.
Fairy-tale Tower
Here’s a tower that looks like it’s straight out of Rapunzel; a grand old structure with colorful spires and a spiral staircase leading to the top.
It will be tough to build in Survival mode and requires quite a few unusual materials such as End Rods for illumination and Purpur blocks.
You will also have to farm batches of oxidized copper, go looking for lush caves and dig around for an Amethyst geode in order to gather the full batch of materials.
Once you’ve collected all of this, you will need to take down some notes as you watch the above video tutorial by Jax and Wild.
Cherry Blossom Treehouse
If there’s one place you’re likely to meet the fae folk, it’s in this alluring cherry blossom treehouse by Mewnipixel.
Set in a cherry grove, this pink-hued home in sky, is made out of items crafted from cherry tree wood, and a few cobblestone walls.
Its towering foundation is built to look like the trunk of a giant cherry tree and its roof hangs heavy with flowering cherry leaf blocks.
It’s one of the simplest Minecraft fairy builds you’ll come across in case you’re looking to create a house inspired by this aesthetic.
Hobbit Hole
You say Hobbit Holes are cottagecore, I say they’re fairycore because Hobbits are mythical beings of Tolkien lore.
Why lock horns over it, when we can step back and admire this cozy Minecraft house together?
If you fancy building one yourself, YouTuber Zaypixel has provided a step-by-step tutorial that’s very easy to follow.
You will need to find a suitable hillside (or create one with grass blocks) to dig into in order to make yourself this comfy dwelling hole.
Underground Moon Base
Here’s a bewitching moon-themed base (from Kelpie The Fox) that’s built into the ground.
It’s a large circular hole in the ground with room for everything you’d need for Survival from an enchanting table with a library to a Nether portal.
It does not have space for farming and animal rearing though. The floor is made of cherry wood planks, with glowstone blocks lighting it up every few yards.
You get in and out of the base using ladders. Glass blocks form the crescent moon shape of the ceiling, while the rest is covered with grass blocks.
Fantasy House
Check out this awesome fantasy house in Crimson wood and diorite!
It looks like it’s straight out of a book of fairytales, doesn’t it? I love everything about it, from its cunning simplicity to the banner flying high above it. The materials you need to construct this fairy house are not rare at all.
You can swap the Crimson wood with cherry wood, if you’re playing Survival and haven’t reached the Nether yet.
The creator, YouTuber SheraNom, has provided step-by-step instructions on how to build it. It involves texture packs and shaders too, but you can skip those if you want.
Fairy Bridge
When experimenting with a new aesthetic, it’s always better to start small.
This fairy bridge by Faemira could be your first project if you’re new to Minecraft fairy builds and just want to try something bedazzling without investing too much effort.
The list of materials for you will need is pretty basic. It includes wood blocks for stairs, signs, planks, trapdoors, fences and so on. You will also require vines, wildflowers of your choice, lanterns, campfires, iron chains, flowering Azalea blocks and Spore blossoms.
Take some time to watch the above YouTube tutorial, and then you’re free to give it a go!
Aesthetic Fairy Pond
Did someone say “fairy pond”? Well, here’s a beautiful design by Jiuyue Architecture that gives off a truly magical vibe.
It uses lily pads, sea pickles, a variety of corals, seagrass, dripleaf, glow berries, fern, lanterns, mossy cobblestone and other everyday Minecraft items to great effect.
You will need Mizuno’s 16 Craft 1.17 resource pack and BSL shaders to duplicate the exact look.
Alternately, you could try the build in vanilla Minecraft and see how the end result turns out.
Fairy Arch
For those of you who want some Midsummer Night’s Dream-themed decor for your garden, here’s an ethereal fairy arch to consider.
Designed by Kelpie The Fox, the arch uses common Overworld materials for the basic structure – stone, terracotta, fern, grass blocks and wildflowers.
Stuff from the Nether like Warped fungus and Crimson fungus bring in that extra sprinkling of mystical woodland aesthetics.
The entire arch is lit by lanterns hanging from chains and torches to great effect.
Amethyst Geode Mushroom House
I really don’t know why more people aren’t using Amethyst in Minecraft fairy builds!
These sparkly purple blocks are superb for creations such as this Amethyst Geode Mushroom house by YouTuber Dad’s Guide.
If you happen to come across an Amethyst geode while mining, mark that spot and gather up the basalt, calcite and Amethyst blocks.
Then all you have to do is follow this simple starter house tutorial to build a cute little house like the one you see in the video.
Royal Fairy Garden
I always underestimate how interesting vanilla Minecraft builds can look until I come across incredibly imaginative creations like this.
Lit up by Soul lanterns, this fairy garden is filled with a thoughtfully curated mix of wildflowers and tulips, Warped Roots, Nether fungi and mushroom blocks to give off an other-worldly feel.
Simple archways have been crafted from wood and leaf blocks, and End Rods topped with red mushroom blocks line the winding pathways through the garden.

Fairytale Treehouse
Here’s a magnificent casa del arbol that looks exquisite and only requires basic building blocks from the Overworld.
It does use glowstone blocks in places, but that is optional. You could easily challenge yourself to erect this treehouse in Survival mode, if you wanted.
Designed by YouTuber LubovLC, the tree-house is built out into the water, with an elegant wooden bridge connecting it to the mainland.
It’s set atop towering jungle trees and has multiple floors as well as a mini farm. There’s also a wooden swing-set, should you fancy a relaxing view of the sunset from among the vines.
Fairy Garden Greenhouse
It might look almost ordinary from the outside, but this Minecraft fairy garden greenhouse is one of the most fantastical-looking greenhouses I’ve ever seen!
Allays would be right at home in this colorful and sparkly creation by LellieCraft on YouTube. It features a mix of foliage from the Overworld, the Nether and the End – Glow berries, Wildflower, Purpur, Spore blossoms, Weeping vines, Nether fungi and more.
The lights from regular lanterns and Soul lanterns bounce off shimmering purple Amethyst blocks and buds placed at carefully considered intervals. The only thing missing is a small water feature.
Check out the detailed tutorial video above if you want to replicate this wonderful structure.
Fairytale Potion Shop
Fancy yourself as a seller of potions in Minecraft?
Take a look at this enchanting fairytale potion shop build by Kelpie The Fox. Doesn’t it make you want to step inside and stare in wonder at all the wares on display?
You could build it for yourself or a villager of the cleric profession. The entrance to the building wears a sort of curly roof that reminds one of a witch’s hat. The rest of the shop is made up of one long, glass-windowed room with a large chimney on top.
Do note that you’ll need to install texture packs and shaders to be able to achieve the same effect on your finished build.
Fairy Underground House
This cozy underground house is perfect for a magical woodland creature who doesn’t want to be spotted easily.
It camouflages smoothly with the woods surrounding it and the only giveaways are the glow berries and mushroom blocks decorating its facade.
If you think the outside is beautiful, you should take a look at the inside; the interior decoration is en pointe. You couldn’t ask for a more fitting fairytale-themed home.

Check out the detailed tutorial by YouTuber Crossaint Cat to build it for yourself.
Fairycore Aesthetic Gazebo
Here’s a minimalist fairycore centerpiece for your garden — a quaint gazebo by YouTuber avoabbyy.
It can hardly be called a challenge to complete in Survival mode since all you need are common blocks from the Overworld.
To build this gazebo, gather together mossy stone bricks and cobblestone, spruce logs and leaf blocks (you can swap these for any other tree), fern, lanterns and vines.
Complete the look with rose bushes and peonies, or any other flowers of your choice.
Fairy Pond
You know what would go nicely with the gazebo listed above? This simple little fairy pond lined with cobblestone.
Apart from cobblestone, you need are some wildflowers, ferns and grass. The Crimson fungus and Warped fungus add an intriguing touch to the entire setup.
Place a few lanterns on Warped fences here and there, and some Lily pads in the water and you’re good to go.
Check out the short video tutorial above for specifics.
Fairycore Village
In case you’re a strong believer in “go big or go home’ when it comes to Minecraft building ideas, you might want to try your hand at this one.
It’s a sprawling fairycore village by YouTuber goddessofcrows. It comes with a tavern, library, barn, fountain, smithy and village houses.
Aside from the usual Overworld materials, the buildings use plenty of purpur, polished diorite, End stone bricks and Crimson blocks as part of the unified design theme.
No weary traveler who stumbles across it is going to mistake this settlement for anything but a fairytale village.
Aesthetic Fairy Cottage
Stone and clay bricks for a roof and wood for walls? If it seems upside down, that’s exactly what makes this build look unusual.
The cowlick-style roof adds a touch of whimsy to the entire construction. And you don’t need any rare Minecraft blocks to build it.
See the cool white and gray windows? They’re actually banners designed to look like that. Pretty clever, isn’t it?
The video tutorial above by Jax and Wild is very easy to follow. It’s an easy project to take on even if you’re at beginner level.
Fairy Witch – Tiny House
Wrapping up this roundup of Minecraft fairy builds is yet another creation by Kelpie The Fox.
It’s an uncomplicated yet gorgeous tiny house with a chimney for those of you in your “fairy witch” phase.
The building is flanked by interesting plants on each side. There’s even a small garden with Twisting vines and a compact pumpkin patch in the back.
One could imagine pottering among the herbs and plants, making potions and what not in this little house for sure.
