Placing Furniture
Critical: SCAN BEFORE PLACING
Avoid furniture embedded in floor!
# 1. Scan area
scan = spatial_awareness_scan(center_x=100, center_y=65, center_z=200, radius=5, detail_level="medium")
# 2. Get placement Y from recommendations
placement_y = scan['recommendations']['floor_placement_y'] # e.g., 65
# 3. Place furniture AT that Y using build_schematic
build_schematic(
schematic={
"a": [100, placement_y, 200],
"p": {"C": "oak_stairs[facing=south]", "L": "oak_wall_sign[facing=east]", "R": "oak_wall_sign[facing=west]"},
"l": [[0, "L C R"]]
},

)
Common mistake: Floor at Y=64, furniture at Y=64 = EMBEDDED! Use Y=65 (ON floor).

Workflow
# 1. Scan room to get correct Y levels
scan = spatial_awareness_scan(center_x=X, center_y=Y, center_z=Z, radius=8, detail_level="medium")
floor_y = scan['recommendations']['floor_placement_y']
ceiling_y = scan['recommendations']['ceiling_placement_y']
# 2. Place floor furniture (tables, chairs, beds)
build_schematic(
schematic={"a": [100, floor_y, 200], ...},
description="Dining table"
)
# 3. Place ceiling fixtures (use negative Y offsets from ceiling)
build_schematic(
schematic={"a": [100, ceiling_y, 200], "p": {"C": "chain", "L": "lantern[hanging=true]"}, "l": [[0, "C"], [-1, "L"]]},

# 4. Add wall decorations
build_schematic(
schematic={"a": [100, floor_y + 1, 200], "p": {"T": "wall_torch[facing=south]"}, "l": [[0, "T"]]},

- Coffee table in front of sofa
- Armchairs angled toward sofa
- Bookshelf on side wall
- Fireplace on focal wall
- Chandelier centered
Dining Room (7x9)
- Table centered
- Chairs around table (facing inward)
- Chandelier above table
- Cabinet/sideboard against wall

- Small table or island
Block State Reference
Stairs (seats, backs)
oak_stairs[facing=north,half=bottom] # Player sits facing north
oak_stairs[facing=south,half=top] # Upside-down (table legs)
Trapdoors (backs, doors, shelves)
oak_trapdoor[facing=south,half=bottom,open=true] # Backrest
oak_trapdoor[facing=south,half=top,open=false] # Lid/cover
Signs (armrests)
oak_wall_sign[facing=east] # Sign on west side of block
oak_wall_sign[facing=west] # Sign on east side of block
Slabs (tabletops, seats)
oak_slab[type=bottom] # On floor
oak_slab[type=top] # Near ceiling
Lanterns
lantern # Standing
lantern[hanging=true] # Hanging from above
Wall Torches
wall_torch[facing=north] # On south wall, points north
wall_torch[facing=south] # On north wall, points south
Furniture Orientations
When placing furniture, consider which way it faces:
| Facing | Meaning | |--------|---------| | north | Player faces north when using | | south | Player faces south when using | | east | Player faces east when using | | west | Player faces west when using |
Stairs as chairs: facing = direction player faces when sitting
Doors/chests: facing = direction they open toward
Style Coordination
| Style | Wood | Accents | Textiles | |-------|------|---------|----------| | Rustic | Oak, Spruce | Barrels, lanterns | Brown carpet | | Modern | Birch, Quartz | Sea lanterns | White carpet | | Medieval | Dark Oak | Chains, anvils | Red carpet | | Asian | Bamboo, Cherry | Paper lanterns | Cyan carpet | | Nether | Crimson, Warped | Soul lanterns | Black carpet |
Spacing Guidelines
- Tables: 1 block clearance around for movement
- Chairs: Push against table edge
- Beds: 1 block on access side
- Walkways: 2 blocks minimum width
- Ceiling lights: Every 4-5 blocks for even lighting
- Wall decor: Eye level (Y+1 or Y+2 from floor)
Common Mistakes
- Furniture in floor: Always scan first, place ON floor_placement_y
- Wrong facing: Stairs face where player looks when sitting
- Missing states: Always specify
[type=bottom]for slabs - Floating furniture: Ensure solid block beneath
- Cramped layout: Leave walking space between items
