Creating the Windmill
First create the support, at least 4 blocks high. The extra stone block is for comparison only

Add 4 wooden walls on top of the support. In case you don’t know how to attach the walls so they snap into the structure, you need to press Alt and click.
Add a roof on top
Now add the rotor. Make sure the plus shape is facing outwards. You’ll be building onto it.
Start adding timber into all 4 sides of the plus shape
Add about 15-20 blocks of timber (1.5/2 full lengths)
Once you’re done, you should have this
Start adding windmill blades

Now go towards the plus shaped part center until you get the indication
Press T and your windmill will start spinning!
