I probably don't have the very first house, but probably something very close to it. The oldest building I could find is a simple cobblestone room I built inside a hill. It dates all the way back to version 0.3.something. That was before mods! And the map was generated with the original v5 mapgen (the only mapgen of 0.3), that's how old it is!

Image
Image
Image

It only had a single room and was very crude. Originally, it was wood only. I haven't really touched it since.
The side entrance with the sign in the first screenshots leads to a very complex system of caves and mines which I have explored again and again.

On the top of the hill (the thing in the background is a newer structure):
Image

My real “home” on this map is not far and more advanced:

Image
Image
Image

It also connects to the same crazy cave system, and there are cave entrances all over the world.


I may have older huts, but I can't remember. I'm sure those were the good old wooden “blocky” huts.

The map still works in 0.4.16, but there are visible map corruptions when you go far away because of the switch from (original) v5 to v6 over the years. And I don't have the original mapgen parameters anyway.

My first house was built, believe it or not, at the top of a bunch of jungletrees in 0.2.(something). It was called "Treetop Town" even though there were only two houses with no chests or furnaces at all. Sorry that there's no screenshot because I lost everything below 0.4.10 :(

But so I don't let everyone down, I'll show a house I made in 0.3.1 rather recently, but you can get the idea.

Image

I never knew how much fun it is to play a game with old bugs you've completely forgotten! I recommend you all try it sometime.

I can't find the very first house for now (that was a 5*4*3 cobble parallelepiped), but I've found the first built on public server :
VanessaE's Basic-plus server

The screenshot is recent but the house has nearly not changed from August 2014.
Just realize how bored we would be if the world was perfect.

My first true house was this cabin I constructed on May of 2016 on rndsvr.eu.

Image

Ironically, I was only scoping out the server, not really intending to settle down. I built what was just supposed to be a temporary shelter. Yet, it ended up becoming my trademark "SorceryKid's Cozy Cottage" that has been faithfully reconstructed on every Minetest server that I frequent including JT2, Xanadu, Extreme Survival Minetest City, Banana Land, just test, as well as a variation on Must Test.

Now I'm feeling nostalgic. I miss playing on this server so much :(

Re: First house in Minetest

The oldest house that I've built on a server (perhaps my first real house ever) was in october 2013.
I found no free place on land, so I settled down on the water - using tons of dirt. Of course, the house was entirely made of dirt too, until I had a mine to replace it with cobblestone and later with stone tiles.

"Sadly" I revised the house some months ago after I found the LandRush server on the list again. Previously it was a house with three floors with nothing but stone tiles and an iron door. After the removal of all stone tiles and some wooden walls plus stone brick frames it now looks like this, which at least doesn't cause eye cancer:
Image
However, the landscape around was left untouched for three years for sure:

My the most first house was done of stonecobble and pretty simple. It consisted of first and second floors and it had sloping roof of green wool. But a screenshot i don`t have, unfortunately. That house was built on 0.4.9 version.

Well, this is my very first house or rather cabin built in Minetest, more precisely in MineClone2:
Image

Iron bars are due to the white bears I spotted in the vicinity. Here is a view from the window:
Image

It would be quite nice, maybe even habitable but for one annoying detail:
Image

Frankly I must ask Wuzzy how to get rid of this nasty thing. It obviously seeks my company and what's the worst from time to time it (he?) utters ugly and disturbing sounds resebling a lumberjack comforting himself in a toilet :| To me it's an issue cause it spoils the meditative mood I'm usually in when contemplating the landscapes of Minetest worlds.

Done!

(Each time I start to build anything in MC2 some creature hangs about trying to distract my attention from the noble art of architecture. Sometimes it's a cow mooing to my ear, sometimes a creeper, most often ducks and chickens. But it's ok as long as they do not pose any threat to my constructions. At least the world is not so barren of life).

Re: First house in Minetest

sometime in early 2013 I really built something on a local map in minetest after months of only looking around for a few minutes and testing mods.
Image

a little later in april 2013 I built my first hut on a public server:
Image
I guess it was the lovely forests on Vanessa's creative server that finally lured me away from minecraft - never to return. I don't know how many huts, castles and caverns I have built on more servers than I can remember since.

Wow twoelk, are you sure that those were your first houses? They look nicer than some of the houses I've seen by veteran players.

Great work!

did I forget to mention I played minecraft for some two years before I abandoned it for minetest?

edit:
now that I think of it - that hut on jt2 - just below my far castle in the east ...
that one is a variant of my first mt hut and was indeed designed as such

This was most likely my first house in singleplayer. The version of minetest_game this world uses is still old enough. Doors, chests, cobble, torches, desert stone etc. are all the way they used to be. I didn't store all mods in their old versions; thus, some nodes are unkown now. Getting the world to work fully again would require some maintenance. It's probably not worth it as it does not contain much more than this house.

Very cozy looking Sokomine. The multi-tiered balconies are a nice touch.

Here's the first house ever constructed on the JT2 server, courtesy of twoelk.

When I first started playing, I never took a pic, however have the map so I might post that last with an edit. :)

This first pic is from Xanadu Server back in: 20141117
Image
Then I made a video WITHOUT FREGGING PERMISSION and got totally yelled at for it. HAHA!

I still have the video in the archive.

The next pic is from the legendary JUST TEST SERVER!! Whoohoo! This was my first struggle fest on a really weird server that we all love.
Image
And I, of course made a ton of videos there, it became my home, the server is the most unique server I have ever played on, man... I miss the old days and wish I saved the map back then.


And this is another from JUST TEST SERVER, the "spawn home" build on the edge of Shammmmmm village before he started building there.
Image

All in all, nothing ever spectacular was ever built by maikerumine, I am an explorer, not much of a builder. :)
