📋 Step-by-Step Guide (6 Steps)
Lay the Leg Foundations
Place two parallel 4x3 rectangular pads of Red Concrete separated by a 2-block air gap. Build both leg columns upward by 5 full blocks. Connect the two columns across the top with a horizontal bridge of Red Concrete to form the crotch curve.
- • Two 4x3 red pillars standing 5 blocks high separated by a 2-block gap
- • A solid horizontal bridge connecting the pillars at layer 6
- • Leaving an uneven gap between the legs, causing an asymmetrical body
- • Making the legs too tall or too stubby relative to standard crewmate proportions
Erect the Main Torso and Backpack
Extend the outer walls upward 12 blocks from the leg bridge to establish the torso cavity. On the designated rear wall, extrude a 4x8 rectangular section outward by 3 blocks starting 2 blocks above the leg split to form the oxygen backpack. Keep the inner hollow space open for interior access.
- • A tall hollow red rectangular column rising 12 blocks above the legs
- • A distinct 3-block-deep backpack box protruding cleanly from the rear wall
- • Forgetting to keep the interior hollow, wasting concrete and losing living space
- • Placing the backpack too high or flush with the top head level
Frame and Glaze the Visor
On the front face, cut or leave an opening 6 blocks wide and 3 blocks tall, centered horizontally 3 blocks below the roofline. Frame the outer rim with Cyan Concrete, fill the inner pane with Light Blue Stained Glass, and place a 2-block horizontal line of White Concrete in the top-left corner for the reflection glint.
- • Curved visor shape centered on front facade with cyan border
- • Translucent light blue glass center with a two-block white highlight in the upper corner
- • Centering the white reflection highlight, which ruins the 3D glare illusion
- • Making the visor flush with the torso border instead of inset or neatly framed
Shape the Rounded Dome Roof
Cap the top of the torso by stepping inward one block on all four sides using Red Concrete. Add a final 2-block wide central strip across the top peak to create a smoothly rounded crewmate head. Seal all gaps along the roofline to keep out rain and hostile phantom spawns.
- • Smooth, stepped-in dome completing the top of the character
- • Fully sealed ceiling with no open air holes visible from inside
- • Creating a flat, squared roof that destroys the cartoon aesthetic
- • Stepping inward too aggressively, creating a sharp pyramid instead of a dome
Install Floors and Vertical Ladder Shaft
Enter the hollow interior and divide the height into three 3-block-tall functional floors using Dark Oak Planks. Install a continuous vertical ladder along one side wall running from the ground floor up to the dome attic, cutting trapdoor hatches through each wooden floor level.
- • Three separate horizontal wooden decks spaced 3 blocks apart vertically
- • Continuous ladder line with trapdoors connecting bottom floor to the top dome
- • Spacing floors only 2 blocks high, making rooms feel claustrophobic and preventing banner placement
- • Placing ladders in the center of rooms, obstructing furniture placement
Furnish Functional Survival Quarters
Convert the backpack annex into a dedicated storage and smelting hub with double chests and blast furnaces. Place a bed, crafting table, and armor stand in the visor-lit second floor, and install an enchanting setup or brewing station in the top dome attic. Hang lanterns from the ceiling for warm illumination.
- • Backpack room lined with accessible double chests and furnaces
- • Cozy bedroom layout behind the glass visor illuminated by warm lanterns
- • Crowding doorways so player hitboxes get stuck when transitioning rooms
- • Placing chests directly under solid blocks, preventing them from opening
