You may be afraid that mobs will enter your house in Minecraft. Then, you think that you need protection so that your house will be safe from any danger. You are able to do some easy ways below to be able to protect your house in Minecraft.
Lighting Up The Place
You are able to light up your Minecraft house by using torches, Jack o’Lanterns, lanterns, sea lanterns or glowstone. It is because mobs will not be able to spawn when the light level is higher than 7.
Build A Wall Or Fence Around Your House
If you want to make a wall, at least it must consist of three blocks high with one block overhang. You can use cobblestone for making the wall since it is the best material for it aside from obsidian due to its high blast-resistance. If you want to make a fence, you have to make sure that it must be at least two blocks high with one block overhang. Also, put torches on the wall so that mobs do not spawn on top of it.
Sleeping Through The Night
If you skip the night, it will not make monsters spawn.
Instead of Wooden, Use Iron Doors
If you use iron doors, zombies will not be able to break them. If you live in a village, villagers also will not be able to get into your house.
