Gable Roof
The Gable is one of the simplest roofs you can make. Mostly made by beginners, you get flexibility in choice of blocks. The Gable has a step-like formation on both sides. The roof joins with its highest point in the middle. It gets the job done with no need for fancy construction techniques and materials.
Flat Roof
A flat design roof looks simple to make, but it isn’t for absolute newbies. Also known as parapet roof, the flat design with a raised border. Although having a flat roof is great, there are a couple of points to take into consideration. Flat rooms should have different materials for borders. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing but also makes the roof safe to use for other purposes. Finally, make sure you light the roof with torches or cover it up with slabs, buttons, or pressure plates. This prevents mobs from spawning on the top of your house.

Hipped Roof
A Hipped roof is slopped in all directions. Players usually construct it on a square building and the roof looks like a pyramid from the sides. The design is customizable and doesn’t need to be symmetric every time. This opens up tons of options for players. They can also make half-hipped roofs and combine it with the Gable roof depending on their house structure.

Dormers are tiny house-like structures protruding from the roof of a house. Not only do dormers create more space on the roof, but a dormer window also helps light up your house. Dormer roofs are very pleasing to look at and add interesting visuals to your roof. There are different Dormer roofs like Wall dormer and Blind dormer.
