Macaw's Furniture: Decorating with Stackable Furniture
Macaw's Furniture adds stackable furniture to Minecraft, letting you build custom arrangements by placing pieces on top of each other and merging them into wider or taller combinations. The mod contains 654 crafting recipes, and this guide covers the acacia family of furniture along with the two shared components that many of those recipes depend on.
The Shared Components
Two items appear across a large share of the furniture recipes, so craft them first and keep a stock on hand.
Cabinet Door — crafted from 7
Stick, 1
Iron Nugget, and a wooden chest tag.
Cabinet Drawer — crafted from 4
Stick, a wooden chest tag, and 1
Iron Nugget.
Because so many pieces below require one or both of these, producing them in batches saves repeated trips to the crafting grid.
Seating
Chairs and stools are the simplest way to start decorating. Each one is cheap and can be placed alongside tables.

Tables and Desks

Decorating with Combinations
The point of all this is arrangement. Because pieces can be placed on top of one another and merged into wider or taller shapes, a
Acacia Drawer can sit beneath a
Acacia Counter, a
Acacia Bookshelf can stack above a
Acacia Bookshelf Drawer, and a run of
Acacia Kitchen Cabinet pieces can be joined into a longer unit. Build a
Acacia Chair at a
Acacia Table, line a wall with
Acacia Wardrobe and
Acacia Double Wardrobe, then fill the gaps with
Acacia End Table and
Acacia Glass Table for variety.
The same recipe structure repeats for other wood types, including birch, so once you understand the acacia set you can apply the same patterns elsewhere.
