Hello Minecrafters. I thought of another item only available in Creative Mode (and not craftable in Survival!)
It's called the House Creation Pearl. It's available in Creative Mode. It's either throwable or placable. Right-clicking it on a block creates a house. Or throwing it creates a house.
The Brick House Pearl creates a brick house with the following materials:
- Bricks
- Bed
- Furnace
- Crafting Table
- Saplings/Flowers (random)
- Brick Stairs
- Glass Panes/Glass (random)
- Torches
- Wooden Door
The Wooden House Pearl creates a wooden house with the following materials:
- Wooden Planks (all colors, random)
- Bed
- Furnace
- Crafting Table
- Saplings/Flowers (random)
- Wooden Stairs (all colors, random)
- Glass Panes/Glass (random)
- Wooden Fences
- Torches
- Wooden Door
- And, a trapdoor. (rare)
The Stone House Pearl creates a stone house with the following materials:
- Cobblestone
- Moss Stone (rare)
- Vines (rare)
- Saplings/Flowers (random)
- Crafting Table
- Furnace
- Bed
- Glass Panes/Glass (random)
- Torches
- Wooden Door
*NEW*
The Village Creation Pearl creates an NPC village with all of the materials of the NPC villages. Use with caution as it spawns a large to small village and can be also used as a griefing tool or used to crash a server. It also spawns Testificates - the common mobs in a village, each inside their corresponding houses.
*NEW*
Extra, extra! This is the Jungle House Creation Pearl! It uses jungle logs, vines, jungle planks, crafting tables, furnaces, wooden stairs, beds, doors, and trapdoors - anything craftable or available in the jungle!
*NEW*
As requested by Woodruff, here comes the bomb shelter. It can be used by most Minecraft builders to created grief-proof or TNT-proof houses.
It creates an obsidian shelter with the following materials:
- Obsidian
- Torches
- Crafting Table
- Glass Pane/Glass (random)
- Furnace
- Iron Door
- Lever (for opening the iron door)
- Bed
*NEW*
The Nether Fortress Pearl! When used in the Nether it spawns a Nether Fortress. It can be used in the Overworld, but it will spawn some soul sand around it. It contains all of the materials a generated Nether Fortress has!
*NEW*
It's a Treehouse Pearl. It spawns a treehouse with a tree (size of a swamp tree) and a wooden house mounted on it. Ladders are also spawned to help you get on the treehouse.
Additional to all of the above is the generated structure pearls. Unless if you are running a server, you can't use these yet. But these are used as a griefing tool...(don't throw too many stronghold pearls!), so becareful. These spawn mineshafts or jungle temples, a village house or a village forge, and more.
After you throw the pearl, the pearl will gain a 10-second cooldown. It cannot be used for 10 seconds until the cooldown period stops. This is to stop griefing houses and stuff.
*NEW*
For those who love enchanting, there is a Library pearl. It uses bed, wooden planks, crafting table, enchanting table, the bookshelves, wooden doors, torches, and glass panes. There are also chests with book and quills in it (for those who love literacy)
Pros:
- Can be used to create a large/small house (random size)
- Basic tool for spawn areas (granted by admins)
- Creation of players' houses and pavilions
- Creation of spawn points in adventure maps
Cons:
- Used as a house-spamming griefing tool by griefers in Creative Servers (Plugins maybe needed if this item is added, it can either be available only to server operators and admins)
- Can crash the server if not careful
Pretty good idea. How about when right clicked on a block instead of throwing it?
Thanks for your support. Oh, and nothing will happen if you right click the House Creation Pearl on a block. You can throw it only...but beware, it's a griefing tool!

No I mean, if you changed it. So instead of throwing it to make a house, you just place it, it doesnt throw.
I disagree with this idea. All you're going to see in most maps/servers are going to be lazy people who just use the creative mode houses all over the place.
IT LIKELY WILL take away a portion of the originality aspect of Minecraft.
BUT;
I do agree with the spawning villages idea.
Even though I disagree with the idea of spawning houses, I do appreciate how you're adding variety in it.
OVERALL:
I'd give this idea a 6/10.
If this was implemented into the game, It would probably have the same effect on me like when the cobblestone texture was changed.

IT LIKELY WILL take away a portion of the originality aspect of Minecraft. Completely, there are newbies taking over Minecraft. There are newbies who can't simply build large houses and need the help of advanced builders.

I do agree with the spawning villages idea.

R.I.P old cobblestone :'[ Thank you Fireblade!
NOTE - the bold text are the answers for Fireblade55's questions! Thanks for supporting the Village Creation Pearl, Fireblade55!
I really like the village pearl, not so sure about the others though.
My suggestion inside a suggestion (SUGGESTCEPTION)
Instead of spawning an entire village, it could just spawn a house, there would be different pearls for each house
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
I find the lack of turtles in your thread disturbing
I think somebody should make a mod out of this, because i can't see it being implemented into the game anytime soon. But one can have dreams..
Its already a mod. OP's idea is taking the schematics mods, using the game's existing structures, adding an easy way to place them. I doubt it'll be hard to implement since they could copy a part of the structure generator code (or possibly call to it) with custom coordinates.

Oh yeah. Thanks! I'll add this to the first post.

Good.
Looks cool. I'll make it.
Maybe if you can tweet it to Dinnerbone or jeb?

SUPPORT THEM!!!!! (also if your a new please click on the picture)

Agree with this entirely.
When the village pearl is used in a desert biome, it could generate a desert village instead.
The pearls are pretty cool. The only one that really needs to be added is the village pearl, but the other ones are fair enough too.
This would easily bring a more streamlined look to some "Town" areas in adventure maps and etc, I support it.
