No no, not like a 5x5 wooden shack, but a big and good looking one as shown in this video.
And about the wood. If I use double wooden slabs in place of the planks you can see, my house will be mostly fireproof. (Because (double) wooden slabs won't burn away unlike normal wood and planks.)
It is mainly because I want to live in nice luxury (I have Furniture and Decoratives installed ). I can let my autocraftsystem refill my refrigderator with canned food, chicken, some potions, pumpkin food (from the Pumpkin Patch mod ) and more. I have rugs, chairs that do work, a television, which can't show programs , stained glass and tables in many materials. I will maybe install a foods mod for some drinks, but meh. And how about a study, a bathroom with a toilet that actually works (Furniture mod), a shower and more stuff. I do have mods yes ( a lot more than Technic ), but I would like to use the specific mods for decorating my house.
