Obtaining
There are three kinds of roof: the Thatch Roof, made from Straw, the Slate Roof, made from Slate Shingles, and the Ceramic Tile Roof, made from Ceramic Tiles.
Straw Roof
The Straw Roof is crafted with two Straw Blocks and one stick.
Slate Roof
Slate Shingles are created by crafting a Slate Brick with a Chisel. The Slate Roof is then assembled with two Lumber and three Slate Shingles. Alternatively, a Slate Roof Peak can be crafted with one Lumber and three Slate Shingles.
Ceramic Tile Roof
Clay Tiles can be made by wrapping two clay balls around a log in the crafting interface. Clay Tiles can be fired in a Pit Kiln, or in bulk inside a Kiln. The Ceramic Tile Roof is then assembled with two Lumber and three Ceramic Tiles. A Ceramic Tile Roof Peak can also be crafted with one Lumber and three Ceramic Tiles.
Usage
Roofs that are placed on a compatible block will "drag" the block's texture up, creating a seamless texture. Standing under a roof will provide a player with temperature protection, based on the roof's material.
- The Thatch Roof provides +2 cold resistance.
- The Slate Roof provides +2 heat resistance and +4 cold resistance.
- The Ceramic Tile Roof provides +4 heat resistance and +2 cold resistance.
Natural Roof
Raw stone can form a natural roof if there are 7 solid blocks of contiguous stone within the 12 blocks above the player's head. This means that caves can provide protection from extreme temperatures naturally. A natural roof gives +1 heat resistance and +2 cold resistance.
