In the early stages of the game, building can be a challenge as many sturdy building blocks require metal tools to obtain. However, there are a few building blocks that can be obtained with just stone tools.
More Advanced Building Blocks are obtainable with metal tools.
With just a Stone Knife, you are able to obtain Straw by breaking plant-like blocks. This can be used to craft a very simple building material: Thatch. Thatch is a lightweight block that isn't affected by gravity, however players and other entities can pass right through it! It can also be crafted back into Straw if needed.
Mud can be found on the ground, underneath some water features, in low elevation swampy environments, or directly made by dropping dirt into water with Q. With a little bit of Straw, it can be crafted into Wet Mud Bricks.

These dried mud bricks can then be crafted into Mud Brick Blocks. They can also be made into Stairs, Slabs, or Walls, if so desired. Mud brick blocks are mineable with shovels.
Wattle and Daub is a versatile building and decoration block.
Wattle can be crafted and placed, however it is breakable and allows players and mobs to walk through it. It can be augmented with Daub, to make it solid.
In order to make Wattle solid, it first must be woven, which requires adding sticks to the structure.

編み枝には4本まで棒を追加できます。
棒はいつでも各対角線部分に加えられるほか、上端と下端にも追加できます。棒を手に持ち、Right Clickで棒を追加できます。編み枝のどの部分に棒を追加するかは、設置面の異なる箇所を選択することで変更できます。

It can then be stained by using Dye on it.

In addition to the primitive building materials of the Stone Age, the acquisition of metal tools allows the construction of more advanced building materials.
Alabaster is a building block made from Gypsum. Alabaster can be made by directly crafting with gypsum, however it can be made more efficiently by sealing some gypsum with 100 mB of Limewater in a Barrel.
Alabaster can be dyed in a Barrel of dye into any color. Raw Alabaster blocks can also be chiseled into Polished Alabaster using the Smooth chisel mode, or crafted into stairs, slabs, or walls.
Stone Bricks can be made using a Chisel with some individual loose rocks. It then requires Mortar in order to form a strong building block.
Mortar can be made by adding Sand to a barrel of Limewater.
Other decorative stone blocks can also be made, such as both Cracked Bricks, and Chiseled Stone. Mossy stone blocks can also be created by placing cobblestone or bricks underwater, near existing mossy bricks or cobblestone. The moss will start to spread to these nearby blocks.
There are many in-world interactions that can be done to streamline building:
Roof construction with the Roads and Roofs mod begins with a frame. Roof frame blocks can be crafted from lumber and sticks, and made into stair and slab variants. These blocks can be used to outline the shape of the roof and are the starting point for all roofs.
Once the roof frames are in place, they can be Right Click with any Roofing Material to create the corresponding roof. Types of roof include thatch, made by adding straw to a roof frame, but also terracotta tiles, wooden shingles, and more.
Roofs are necessary to keep your machines dry! Think of the poor machines...
