Houses
In the span of ShadowCraft 2.0's run, Lizzie built two separate houses. The first being was a smaller starter home and the second, her bigger, more permanent one. Other than this, the only major change to her home was the addition of a treehouse on the side in episode 31.
House 1 (E3-E9)
Lizzie's first house was a small purple structure in the countryside. From the front it had two windows on either side of a glass door. The interior had the Minecraft essentials on the ground floor (Furnace, Crafting bench etc), and was also briefly home to a fishbowl. A ladder on the wall took you to the upstairs area which contained only a bed and a window. The house was quite bright on the inside due to the large chandelier hanging from the ceiling. The house was first seen in Episode 3 of ShadowCraft 2.0 "Huge Crabs, Tiny House" and was last seen in Episode 9 of ShadowCraft 2.0 "Home Make-over", where it was demolished for a bigger house.
House 2 (E9-Finale)
Lizzie's second, and current house was built in Episode 9 of ShadowCraft 2.0 "Home Make-over" after her first house was demolished. I remains on the site of the old house but is far bigger. It is made primarily from wood and stands big and tall. The entrance leads you to a large open room which has some stairs leading to the upstairs of the house. It also has two other doors that all lead outside. There is a shelf to the right as you walk in full of "Weird things" such as a Soul, and a ball of Flesh. There is also another shelf on the left which holds the many flowers that Lizzie has collected over the season. On the left as you walk in is a tall chair, some chest of drawers with a goldfish bowl on top of it. Next to the chair is a bookcase full of Minecraft stories that fans have made. Towards the back of the house is all the kitchen requirements (Furnace, Fridge, Crafting Bench etc), and a cookie bowl. Going upstairs leads you to Lizzie bedroom. Which has some shelves and a large window with a view of the world. There is a globe and computer on either side of the room.
