In Minecraft the structurally ideal house is always just made out of stone, which is so unaesthetic!</p><p>I guess the problem is that it\u2019s all a byproduct of stone being very easy to clear and carry, but it\u2019s a <i>mining</i> game, so if that weren\u2019t the case it wouldn\u2019t play very well<br/></p></blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\n\nas a building material, \n\nwood is objectively worse in all ways than stone <br/></p></blockquote><p>Wood is much lighter and has a higher tensile strength than stone. If you go without wood, then every place where you would normally use a wooden lintel, beam, or rafter becomes a huge headache. There is nothing structurally ideal about building with 100% stone, which is why it has never been the norm at any time in history.<br/></p></blockquote>\n\n\n<p>he said &ldquo;in Minecraft&rdquo;, bro</p>"}
