This tutorial will give you some basic guidelines when building a roof.

Roof scale[]

How big should a roof be? For inhabited buildings, a good guide is to make the roof between one and two stories tall.

If a roof section does need to be much taller than that, consider making it into a tower, or use a mansard roof containing multiple floors.

The height of a roof can often be adjusted by changing its pitch or by adding a parapet and/or a roof-level walkway.

Whenever there is enough volume under a roof for another building level, it would be quite unusual not to put in some extra rooms to take advantage.

For example, a building 20m wide with a single 45° gable roof would have a roof with a height of 10–11 blocks.

Assuming 4–5 block stories, the roof would be 2–2½ stories high. At that size, it would be advisable either to put an extra floor inside the roof volume, or else split the roof into two or three smaller sections so that the rise per section is around 5–7 blocks.

Alternatively, by adding a 1 block high parapet and a 1 block wide walkway around the roof, it is reduced
