How to Make a Bathroom in Minecraft

Last Updated: February 23, 2021

Minecraft is a Lego style role playing video game in which you are able to design and build your own world. Originally based on your character constructing blocks in self defense against monsters, the game has progressed to include a variety of other features. You can create a bathroom in your Minecraft house by building a big, roomy section in your house, preferably accessible from your bedroom. Now all you need are the bathroom furnishings.

Method 1

Method 1 of 3:
Creating a Toilet

1
Create a base for your toilet. Make sure that it’s 3 blocks wide and 2 blocks long.
2
Make a hole in the base. In the second block of the row that’s closest to you, eliminate the block to make a hole.
3
Place another block in front of the hole. This will contain the water.
4
Add water. Put water on the hole.
5
Create a toilet water tank. In the second block of the row that’s farthest from you, place a block that will act as the toilet water tank.
6
Place a (wooden or iron) trap door on top of the hole with water in it. This will act as a toilet seat.

Method 2

Method 2 of 3:
Making a Shower

1
Make a hole on the ceiling. It would be best to create a hole in a corner.
2
Build a chimney-like structure. Build it on the roof where the hole is.
3
Put water in it. The water should come down through the hole as a pillar of water for you to shower in.
- To turn the shower off, place a block in the hole.
- If you are good (basic learners should be able to do this too) with redstone, feel free to use a dispenser and a lever.

Method 3

Method 3 of 3:
Building a Bath

1
Make a 3 x 5 platform. Make sure it's 2 blocks high against a wall in your bathroom.
2
Create a long hole. On the side closest to the wall, break 6 blocks.
3
Put water in the hole.
4
Place stairs on the sides of your bath. This will allow you to easily climb into it.

If you want, you can appropriate other things that would look like a folder, but you can't make a folder in Minecraft.

My dispenser only points upwards. Is there a way to change that?

You have to change the way you are facing in relation to the dispenser. For example, be on the ground in front of the dispenser to face it towards you.

Go to a wall and dig out the size you want the mirror to be one block back. Then, fill it with blue stained glass, glass, or a glass pane.

Is there a way to make the toilet smaller, or is this the smallest that can be made?

You could just dig a hole and fill it with water, then cover it with a trapdoor.
Question

When I put in the shower it just flooded my whole room. Can you help me?

Just put stairs in a 2 by 2 box, then fill it with water. Finally, break a hole in the roof and put water there (remember the hole in the roof is only one block and has one block above it).

If there is water above me, can I make a pool in my room?

Absolutely, all you have to do is make a deep hole in the flooring and fill it with water.
