The important thing is that it looks natural, rounded, and flowing.Īt the end of the process, it will look something like this. I made my layers on the thicker side, but you can do smaller ones as well. You’ll continue stacking these layers as you go around the tree. Straight lines will make it feel too rigid and structured, so this staircase must have a circular shape. To make this look natural, layers will need to overlap with each other. I then began placing the slabs higher to climb the tree. I started mine with one slab against the tree and two others diagonally away from the tree. Of the three spiral staircases in this article, this one can be considered the most complex because it requires players to place blocks a little haphazardly until it looks good. Add torches, lanterns, or glow berries to light up the space without covering the walking space. This staircase can be made as steep or sloping as you’d like. It ends up looking like a snaking structure wrapped around the tree. When rounding a corner, place one block out and then turn left to continue building the stairs directly against the tree.Ĭontinue to do this until you’ve reached your base in the tree. You can place them in whatever order you’d like, but there should not be gaps between the blocks.Įssentially, you’re building the stairs in a one-block radius of the tree. This staircase involves placing wooden slabs and stairs around the tree to form a looping staircase. I chose a jungle tree, but a large dark oak tree would work just as well.

Like the previous staircase, this one begins with a large tree. The lanterns can be hung directly beneath the slabs, but they can also be connected to the slabs with chains so they illuminate the stairs below.

Note that because the slabs are placed on the lower half of the block, lighting items like glow berries and torches can be hung beneath them. It will look like the image below when completed. Keeping them uniform like this gives it a homemade childhood treehouse feel.Ĭontinue placing slabs until you have reached either the top of the tree or the entrance to your treehouse. When placed, the two levels of stairs should have a gap the size of one slab between them.Ĭontinue this pattern even when turning to a new side of the tree. Doing every block like this ensures that you’ll be able to make every jump to the next level. When placing the rest of the slabs in the build, you’ll want to align them with the lower half of the next block up. Begin by placing two of these slabs at the base of the tree. The only blocks used in this build are wooden slabs made from the tree you are building around. I chose a tall Jungle tree, which I grew by placing four jungle saplings in a square.

This spiral staircase requires a tall, sturdy tree as a base.
