From towering castles to underwater cities, Minecraft allows you to build your dreams from the ground up. Among the diverse biomes within the game, the lush and exotic jungle appeals to those who seek a tropical retreat.
In this article, we’ve scoured the internet to give you some of the best Minecraft jungle house ideas that blend seamlessly within the dense foliage of the jungle biome.
A jungle house isn’t just a shelter but could be an architectural marvel that blends with nature. Known for its towering trees and wildlife, the jungle biome presents a unique challenge for Minecraft players who want to set up camp.
Hobbit Hole
Want to replicate Bilbo Baggins’ house in The Hobbit? This Hobbit Hole design from Goldrobin is great for players who are looking for a compact starter home that isn’t too complex to build.

Being inspired by Hobbit houses, the house protrudes at the mouth of a hill and features circular windows and a main entrance. The interior features a dedicated workstation where you can access the crafting table, anvil, enchanting table, and more.
Although the Hobbit Hole isn’t the fanciest jungle house out there, it is a great starting base for new players.

Floating Treehouse
This Floating Treehouse by Reimiho is one of the best structures we’ve seen by far. It features a unique base that is suspended from the ground. It is also built at the center of a cave, which opens up opportunities for mining ores.
Building a floating treehouse comes with some challenges, however, since you’ll have to make some bridges to connect bases. Some of the materials you’ll need include jungle logs, planks, slabs, stairs, and trapdoors.
Reimiho’s Floating Treehouse also features a Nether Portal, allowing for easier travel to the Nether.
DiddiHD’s Treehouse
Building a treehouse is one of the best house ideas for a jungle biome. DiddiHD’s treehouse features an artificial tree as its base, allowing you to set up camp anywhere in the jungle. This means that you’ll have to build the tree from the ground up using jungle wood.
The treehouse features multiple layers which contain living spaces, gardens, workstations, and storage rooms.
One of the best things we liked about this treehouse is the mini sky garden at the top. It also has a view deck that allows you to scout the surrounding area so you can plan your next adventure and find safer routes.
Foxel Jungle House
This jungle house by Foxel has two structures in the middle of a shallow lake. The two structures serve as small towers and are made from sandstone along with dark oak wood planks. A small wooden bridge can be found in the middle, which connects the two towers.
Each tower features dozens of plants growing on it and a tree. Staircases lead up to each of the towers and each tower has a different setup.
Inside, you’ll find a work area that houses a small library with an enchanting table, some furnaces, and brewing stands. There’s also a Nether Portal in one of the towers. The other tower has a small farm and storage area.
Survival Jungle Treehouse
This survival treehouse from Mr Mirror is the definition of a studio-type condo in the middle of the jungle. Building this treehouse makes sense for new players since the materials needed are mostly made of wood.
The treehouse itself is built in the middle of a tall tree, keeping you safe from hostile mobs at night. Windows are made from trapdoors, saving you the trouble of making glass.
Everything you need such as the crafting table, furnace, and anvil is found inside the cabin next to your bed.
This treehouse may not be as flashy as some jungle mansions, but it is one of the best starting houses you can make in Minecraft.
