Hobbit Hole

Hobbit Holes are a curious structure found commonly throughout the Shire. They are warm, cozy houses dug into mounds of dirt and the favorite places to live for hobbits.

The holes differ in the materials used, but the basic structure is always similar. The walls are made of wood, the floor of wood and stone, and the outside covered in dirt. Surrounding the entrance is a fenced area with a small garden of flowers.

Interior
Inside the Hobbit hole you will find two married Hobbits and sometimes their children or other hobbits that wandered in.

There are various rooms inside a Hobbit hole, including a study, a kitchen, a dining room, and a larder. It is clear from the abundance of food in their pantries that Hobbits love to eat, and they seem more than willing to share it with any strangers who wander inside.

The study is either in the left or right room that you first encounter when you enter the Hobbit hole. Inside, there are six bookshelf blocks. There is also a chest that will have loot such as paper, books, feathers, ink, string, and other household items, as well as occasionally having a few leads.

The bedroom is across from the study and holds two beds.

The kitchen is the room either left or right of the area at the opposite side of the entrance. It contains two Hobbit ovens, a cauldron filled with water, and two regular crafting tables.

The larder, which can be accessed from the kitchen, contains two large chests filled with food, and a shelf with one or a couple of block-based food items (cake, apple crumble, cherry pie, etc.) atop it.

The dining room is across from the kitchen. Inside is a table covered with plates that most likely will have food in them.

Rich Hobbit Holes
Inside Hobbit holes with silver or gold chandeliers, you have a rare chance of finding a chest containing valuable loot (silver coins, gold nuggets, etc.) under the carpet in the foyer (area opposite to the entrance).

Some of these holes will also use rich flooring material (such as stone or clay brick), as shown in the picture to the right. Only a combination of the rich flooring and rich chandeliers will generate the chest.
