Place a second row of bricks blueprints on top of the existing one, but offset them from the ones below! This is called staggering your bricks and it makes walls a lot sturdier.


Staggering the bricks on your wall means that if the bottom brick gets destroyed, the ones above it will not necessarily fall, since the half of the next one will hold it up!
