i first spawned in a snow world (before biomes)
i made a little house out of dirt and cobblestone inside a hill next to a frozen lake. it had a cobblestone pillar like a chimney with torches on it so i could find my way back.
i also had a little dirt roof over my "garden" where there was no snow.
this was just after it was given the name Alpha instead of Indev.

It was a small U shape built (dug) on the side of a mountain, near a river. Breaking blocks became tedious, so I stopped. I didn't even have a front wall. After that, I stopped playing.
Nothing can compare to tangible Lego for me. Not the Lego builder program, not Minecraft, not The Sims, and not Halo's Forge. Maybe I don't enjoy the building on these things because I compare them to how much fun I had with Lego.

I found a small hole blown open by a creeper, with a small pond in it, and a lip at the edge, so I dug a small gap into there, double doors, and had enough wood and somehow wool to put a picture up, but then I got lost, so when my housemate joined the server, we made a new one halfway up a cliff with a protected staircase out front, with a lake in front of the house, and then dug down through the cliff, and expanded out from a very basic hole in the rock to a multistorey palace with underground links to resort homes, connection to a bridge with a diving board, a mine to a massive cave system (we never did finish exploring), and a log cabin on the roof which i accidentally burned down...
On the new server for 1.8: a little room behind a waterfall, with a couple of windows that look over the water.

Dug into the side of a mountain, made rooms and hallways, and all those homely things. I then made an airlock style exit so nothing could get in. I then made a giant cobblestone box in front of the entrance, which I built sniper turrets on. And when that was all done, I coated the whole thing in obsidian, making an invincible fortress. Almost a year ago to the day.
My first world, 1.3, I just lit up a small cave and lived in that while I figured out how to get better/ more tools and food. I then went out exploring... and got lost. I hadn't discovered compasses or F3 yet. So I made another home, though it was made in a rush and was little more than a ridge carved out the side of a cliff, halfway up because a creeper was chasing me. I had to seal the exposed side up with cobble to stop more creepers seeing me and deciding to explode, carving out more mountain.
Third house (I lost the second house too) was a castle on a hill, which didn't have a roof and so kept attracting spiders. I then found a multiplayer server, and didn't touch Singleplayer until 1.4, by which time I'd made a new Singleplayer map so I could see wolves, cookies etc.

For some reason, I was feeling ambitious so I made a nice big dirt hut.
Or rather, I DESIGNED a nice big dirt hut. When night rolled around, it was a few blocks of dirt on a plan in the ground. Then it got shafted by Creepers.
So the next day I took advantage of the depth they had given my home and turned it into a spacious bunker, which I later reinforced with stone. It had a roof garden and a sweet moat. It was pretty good for a first home, looking back.

A cold, damp, miserable hole dug into the side of a mountain, surrounded by a sickly forest of torches, beleaguered by an endless stampede of creepers, creepers, creepers with hordes of spiders and the undead thrown in for flavor.Jaso11111 said:
When I learned how to make glass, i replaced all of my walls with it, so i could see them out there waiting for me.
When I learned how to make charcoal, I almost immediately ran out of wood crafting enough torches to light up the entire planet.
And then I learned how to make explosives.
My very first home was a 3x3 hole in the wall with no doors and windows. I sat there in the dark listening to the moans of zombies until morning.
Started on Multiplayer you see, and had seen a few videos showing how to do some stuff, so went straight to stockpiling wood.
Wood for floors, wood for tools, wood for Charcoal...
Naturally we upgraded to Cobblestone after our first incident with what we assume was a Creeper that spawned in the ground, and then to Smooth Stone after that got blown up by the invisible Creeper.
But yeah... Had a surprisingly not-a-hole first House in Minecraft.
Upon discussing it with my brother, whom I did the Multiplayer with, it would seem that we actually cowered in a sealed up hole-in-the-wall first... I need more Garlic.
First one in the current Server though was a tree.
I punched most of a tree of a tree, used the wood to make Planks, and made a box around where the Trunk used to be.
Truly it was a masterpiece of craftsmanship, resourcefulness, and worry about the impending night.
For the life of me cannae remember my first Singleplayer house though... but I assume it was either wooden or a sealed-off hole in a wall.
Probably the latter.
[sup][sup][sup]Typed more than I expected...[/sup][/sup][/sup]
It was just a cube of dirt with 1 hole in it.
Later on I built up and turned it into a skyscraper.

Well, initially it was a gigantic hole in the side of a large mountain. Then it became a massive mountain-top castle.
But then I moved and built this:
Which is my second home. :3

Well my very first home was a small hallway that burrowed into the side of a mountain and then expanded into a small room with a bed, furnace, crafting table and 2 large chests. Very humble little place... at first. After a time I dug a mine (not knowing that finding a cavern would be a better idea) which joined up to an underground cavern system that I expanded to get various ores. The, with the resources gathered making my mine, I built a castle on top of my little cubby-hole, not really a castle more just a cobblestone box built around the hill so it looked full and on the top of this I built a small tower with the basic stuff in it.
Some time passes...
It is now many days later and what was once a humble little cave in a hill is now a mighty ground fortress looming over the countryside, linked by a minecart to the Obsidian Citadel hovering over the sea. Jumping off this citadel you land in the water where there is a glass palace 'neath the waves. A short swim back to land brings you to the beach near my original castle, if you walk a short ways you reach a small door set into another hillside, upon opening this door you enter a long stone passage with an eerie glow emanating from the trapdoor at the end, descending this trapdoor you find a large glowstone chamber which provides you with a place to hide in times of danger. Finally a tunnel leads from this chamber to a small lake with a wooden balcony and diving board above for an area to relax in.
tl:dr - Yeah, a hole in a hill.

First home ws a cave that I dug out. First above ground home was on top of the mountain that the cave was dug out of, and was half on the mountain, half in a tree. First building was a relatively small stone house on top of a hill.
