Any fully-enclosed room at or under 7x7x7 blocks in size may be counted as a cellar by the game.

While wooden doors and trapdoors count for enclosing cellars, rough doors and sleek doors do not. | ||
Cellars do not need to be underground to work, however since sunlight levels can affect cellar effectiveness, it may be easier to dig an underground cellar than to create an above-ground one. | |||
Any blocks may be used to create a cellar, but different blocks have different insulation values. '''Any''' block made of stone or dirt are the best insulators. It does not matter if it's medium fertility soil, packed dirt, cobblestone, bricks, or raw rock, they will all insulate the same. | |||
The insulation values for the cellar depend upon the outermost materials of it. Example: You have a cellar that is 6 blocks tall. The walls and ceiling are made of stone, the floor is made of wood. However, below the wooden floor is stone or dirt. Because this is within the 7x7x7 space of a cellar's calculations, it counts for the full insulation of stone/dirt, ignoring the wood's insulation. Note: Doubling the thickness of the walls does not help. If the floor was made of stone and then wood, it would only count the stone, considering it the edge of its calculations. | |||
{{Protip|Because there is no minimum size for a cellar, burying a vessel in a cube of dirt is an extremely effective way of preserving food early-game. Just dig out the top block or a side block to access it, then replace it to seal it again. Note: It must be fully encased in dirt in a complete cube. Don't skip on those corners or it won't work!}} | |||

Sunlight reaching the cellar can reduce the effect of cellars, as well as having an impact on cheese ripening. Transparent blocks such as glass or doors, which may let in light, will reduce the effectiveness of cellars. Therefore, it is recommended to seal up cellars using blocks like dirt or hay, or to include a sharp bend in the hallway leading to the cellar to prevent sunlight from reaching inside the room. | Sunlight reaching the cellar can reduce the effect of cellars, as well as having an impact on cheese ripening.
