I built a Minecraft building guide app that now has 500K+ downloads

If you've ever tried to follow a Minecraft build tutorial on YouTube, you know the pain: pause, rewind, squint at the screen, repeat. And half the time nobody tells you how many blocks you actually need.

That frustration is why I built WBuilds, an independent Minecraft building guide app. Think LEGO instructions, but for Minecraft.

What it does

  • 600+ step-by-step builds: houses, castles, farms, nether portals, decorations and more
  • Exact material lists: know every block (and stack count) before you place a single one
  • Numbered, block-by-block steps: with chunk-style guidance, so you always know where the next block goes
  • Difficulty levels: Easy, Medium and Hard, so beginners and experienced builders both have something to build
  • Works offline: download builds and follow along with no wifi
  • Java, Bedrock and Pocket Edition: no mods required
  • Progress is saved: build at your own pace and pick up where you left off

Why not just use YouTube?

Organized library ✅ ❌

Videos are great for inspiration, but when you're actually building, you want something you can follow at your own pace without fighting a video timeline.

Where it is today

  • 500K+ downloads
  • 4.6 star rating across Google Play and the App Store
  • New builds drop every Friday

It's free on web, iOS and Android.

Try it

What's next

I'm adding new builds every week and improving the app based on community feedback. If you're a Minecraft builder (or a dev who builds for gamers), I'd love to hear what you'd want to see next, so drop a comment below or join the community on Discord or Reddit.

WBuilds is an independent tool and is not affiliated with Mojang Studios or Microsoft.
