You can opt to keep the shape and design of your tree simple, which would be a small brown tree trunk adorned with a pyramid of green. If you want to add more details, you can do this gradually and with your own choices. You may be inclined to put gifts beneath your tree, ornaments on the branches, or a star on top. Choose what you're comfortable with and have fun with it.

Focus on Materials

Having the correct building materials is arguably the most important part of creating your Christmas tree. Spruce wood for the branches and trunk is ideal for strength and appearance, but almost any wood will do. For the leaves, any leaf block will do but consider your ideal appearance. Experiment with different types based on density and versatility to find what works for you.

You may need some miscellaneous materials if you plan on adding gifts, ornaments, or a star. Any materials are fine here, as it is up to you. Just pay attention to color, shape, and texture. You'll also want to pick blocks that you can easily make or access, so you have plenty.

General Structure

A Christmas tree has a classic structure that you don't really want to deviate from, even if you are adding your own flair. This is because a Christmas tree has an iconic shape and adhering to that will make it more recognizable. You can make branches longer, the trunk taller, the leaves bushier, or anything creative, but try and stick to the shape.

A good Christmas tree will have two main parts. The first is a triangular-shaped green part at the top and a brown wooden trunk at the bottom. A more detailed tree may be more rounded for the triangle/pyramid shape, as well as a detailed trunk including robust branches. As long as you fit the triangle and trunk format, your tree will be recognizable to other players. If you want a more natural-looking tree, try building a pyramid shape with leaf blocks and then removing a few of the perimeter blocks.
