You can download different Texture packs to make everything, (ground, blocks, buildings, etc,) look anywhere from cartoonish to real life.
If you want to play Minecraft on a different version than the most recent, then you will need to look online for a Minecraft server list and make sure to include the version number that you are trying to play on.
Anybody who wants to look different then the default look. People make hundreds of different skins, any where from "Superman" to a "My Little Pony" skin.
You changed the texture pack?
there is no "carpet" item/block in minecraft, but people use different colored wool as carpet for minecraft.
If I understand your question properly, you are asking what are the different houses that you CAN make in Minecraft. You can make ANYTHING in Minecraft! There is no set design, or building look for your house, you can build it out of any block, in the sky, underwater. You can make it out of TNT, and when intruders come in... Blow it up? So, there is almost an unlimited amount of houses you "can" make, the possibilities are so great, that you could never actually do all of them.

Minecraft has a separate multiplayer server file to download for free. Just look for the links for the forums or look at Youtube to find out how to set it up.
Minecraft and Halo is a different game. If you like building, Minecraft is the choice If you like blowing and killing people and make them ragequit, Halo is the choice
