New worlds start in a little round stone gazebo: pillars of the local wood, a green copper dome, lanterns, benches and a starter chest. It can't be broken outside creative unless you say so.
A slow, peaceful, cute home to come back to: candles light at dusk, your pets come home, the garden grows and visitors drop by, while creepers and fire break nothing. Plus wood in the stonecutter and re-dyeing.
