So, probably most of you think, that it’s not possible to close off a Map room completely.

Let me tell you, you are wrong. You actually can close off a Map room and it’s not even hard, if you know how to.

Let me show you.

We are starting off with a blueprint like this.

Next thing of course, we will place the maproom. That part will be the hardest to do because it has to be placed in a specific way.



There are different edges on the Map room one edge with 2 parts and one thick edge.

The edge with 2 parts has to be on the triangle foundation, this is important to place the pillars. This is the next step, placing pillars.

If you placed the Map room right, you can now place pillars on the triangle foundations. If you can’t, replace the Map room.



Now add the walls all around.



Then comes the part, where almost everybody fails. Placing the roofs right.

You have to use the stability of the pillars and try to get the stability in the middle as fast as possible.

First i will show you how it’s done right:

Place the triangles on the pillars and then just use square foundations to get to the middle, this way you have only 5 Blocks between pillar and the middle.



(I missed one number here, it’s supposed to be 5 in the middle.

Here is how most people do it and how it will not work:



The stability of the pillar doesn’t reach the middle if you do it like this.

Have fun with your enclosed Map room.



You can use this principle on every structure, if you have stability issues, always try to find the fastest way to a pillar with the Floor plan you use.
