Welcome to Snowheim,

A quite peaceful town situated in the frozen north of YAMS. Snowheim boasts beautiful views of a snow covered forest. With cobblestone houses with a dark wooden trim, do you feel that you could make this your home?

While above the ground may be quite underneath is another story. Each home will be connected to the Underpath, an underground tunnel system connecting every home in Snowheim. Connected to this pathway you will find all the public farms and buildings of Snowheim.


Town buildings and attractions include:
  • The Library
  • Biggest farms in YAMS
Town plot regulations:

Materials for main outside walls:
  • All types of cobblestone materials.
  • Small amounts of mossy cobblestone for detail.
  • Dark spruce logs for detail such as corners / rims.
Materials for main outside roof:
  • Oak plank stairs and slabs
  • Cobblestone stairs and slabs.
  • Dark spruce logs as extra detail.
Materials for outside areas within plot area:
  • All types of glass for windows.
  • All types of fences and iron bars for balcony rails.
  • Small amount of other materials for outside furniture such as lampposts, glowstone. seats, tables etc
Dimensions and plot sizes:
  • Your plot size is 14x14 this includes your house walls.
  • Do not go over the imaginary markes plot border.
  • You must only have 2 levels above ground to your house.
  • You may have a pointy roof with an attic inside.
  • Basements are allowed, you will be encased in bedrock.
Exceptions to going over plot line by 1 block only:
  • Slopped roof overhang using stairs or slabs.
  • One high row of leaves as a shrub around the house base.
  • Flowers, vines and tall grass such as shrubs and ferns.
  • Signs, torches and trap doors flush against your wall.
We ask the above so all houses fit in nicely with the town style.

When asking for sandbox approval you do not need to specify which part of the town you want to live in, only the main town name.

When you are approved please move into the first available plot next to someone instead of going out of the way.

Hello fellow residents of Snowheim

I thought that I should give a quick update on what has been happening around town.

As you all know we currently lack farms. Well starting last night ground was broken on the site of the new public farms. Currently two rooms have been dug out for our farms.

On the Underpath level we have a 20*20 hub/community room that is set to be a nice place to meet up. Around this will be the Horseshoe, a 'U' shaped room surrounding the hub which currently is set to hold a small market.

The next level down was unanimously voted as the wheat farm. This morning designs were proposed and a simple design has been developed that will enable the auto harvesting of a row of 15 at a time.

We do have a couple of questions though that will need to be decided by the community.

1. What should the design be for the walls in the hub?
- If you have a suggestion for this take a small section in the hub and build your design we can then vote on which to use.

2. What material (along with Glowstone) should be used for the ceiling?
- This is a little urgent as certain parts of the build cannot be completed without knowing

3. What material should be used for the walls of the farm? Should it be a single mat or a design?
- Post your ideas here

If you have any ideas for Snowheim post them here or on the suggestions board in the welcome centre.

I'd like a simple pattern not anything too fancy, and I don't really just want to see a cobble wall.

we do need to add more glowstone to the wall though mobs are spawning in there... and did we want to decorate the mushroom farm or no? also mushroom farm behind the wheat farm? don't think we need a whole floor dedicated to just shrooms lol

In regards to all questions, I kinda like the idea of a mine. Cobble, logs (pine, I would imagine), wood... For the ceiling, maybe rafters- logs a block or two below the stone/cobble ceiling with glowstone nestled among it. The walls of the farms, maybe a cobble/wood/log mix. Create visual intersest without being crazy :D

In regards to the mushroom farms... maybe put the cactus, mushrooms and pumpkins on the same floor. I really don't see anyone needing a 40x40 room of pain ._.

Yes do a barrel roll...

Seriously though on the list of things to do is:
  • Collect
    • pistons
    • redstone
    • stone bricks
    • a couple of each seed/material to be farmed
  • digging the horseshoe, if for the moment we keep 2 between the hub and horseshoe and only make this 5 wide and 5 high on all 3 sides of the hub
  • you could start digging out the next level it will need to start 3 under the wheat level and be 4 high, and 40*40 to start with
  • in the mushroom farm behind the wheat farm
    • make the room 10 wide to start with
    • cover the floor with dirt
    • finish the walls
  • in the wheat farm
    • create a couple more rows of wheat in the back row (not next to the ladders)

With kel on the melon farm. Two most useful foods right at top seems logical. Also, I have pistons and a bunch of slimes to donate!

Just a heads up if you haven't dug the shroom farms yet. Redstone lanterns are going to make shroom farming a lot easier. Make sure to leave extra roof space to install them.

Hey, now that we have a good start on our farms, do you think that we could start a little on the hub at the top?

i agree and along with that what wall design are we going to use? we should also figure out the size and what is going to be in our "under market" area as well ^_^

Yay hub!

I was thinking though...are we going to have an underground animal farm? If so, I was thinking of having it branch off the hub. Maybe one side cows and chickens, the other side of the hub having sheep and pigs? If it was hub-level, we could also have a glass roof so the poor things don't get anemic :<

One thing we have been forgetting is the gift bestowed upon us by DarrenStraight Designs Ltd and where to place it.

If you dont know of it there is a cobblestone generator currently residing outside my Snowheim home. It will be moved into the farms at somepoint

Dale and myself have cleared out a 50x50 area 2 high as a border so all you guys have to do is clear it out 6 high and we will have a tree farm!
