1. Log into Minecraft and select creative mode.
2. Find a big flat surface in a plain or a mountain range.
3. Layer 1: The Foundation - Dig a 5 by 5 square 1 block deep and place oak wooden planks in that space.
4. Layer 2: The Door Walls - Put a wooden door in the center of one wall of your foundation and build a wall around the door with more oak planks. Leave the center blocks empty.
5. Layers 3 - 24: The Tower Walls - Continue the walls around your lighthouse until its a total of 24 blocks high.
6. Layers 25 - 27: The Wood Before The Light - Build a 5 by 5 square on top of the tower covering the 3 by 3 hole and repeat that process 2 more times.
7. Layer 28: The Light - Build a 3 by 3 square centered on top and put torches on top of each of the 9 oak wood planks.
8. Layers 29 - 30: The Light Protector - Surround the 3 by 3 square and the torches with glass panes. Leave the corners open. On each corner place 2 fence pieces vertically, one on top of the other.
9. Layers 31 - 34: The Roof - Using birch wooden planks, place an entire 7 by 7 square centered on top of the torches. Then centered on top of that, create a 5 by 5 square, then a 3 by 3 and end with a single square in the center.
10. Final Layer: The Flag Top - Put 2 fence pieces, one on top of the other, in the center of the roof and put 2 red wool blocks on any side of the top fence piece creating a flag.
