Towny House 13 - Dormer House
Every town needs that one building that makes people stop and stare. Towny House 13 - Dormer House is exactly that kind of build: a medieval home crowned with a massive roof dormer, deepslate rooflines that cross and overlap, a side staircase tucked under its own little canopy, and a slim chimney rising above it all. It is compact enough to slot into a busy settlement, yet detailed enough to feel like it has stood there for centuries.
What Makes This Medieval House Stand Out
Most medieval builds lean on the same oak-and-cobblestone formula. This one takes a darker, moodier route. The palette mixes cracked deepslate tiles, soul soil, stripped dark oak wood, barrels, and polished blackstone bricks, giving the walls a weathered, almost ash-stained look that fits perfectly in swampy lowlands, grim northern villages, or any town with a serious atmosphere.
The silhouette does the heavy lifting. The oversized dormer breaks up the roofline, the crossing deepslate roof sections create depth from every angle, and the side staircase with its own small roof adds a believable, lived-in detail. The slim chimney finishes the shape without stealing attention from the main structure.

What You Get in the Download
The package is refreshingly simple, which is a blessing if you have ever wrestled with a build that ships as a folder of loose files. Inside you will find a flat creative world with the house already placed, and you spawn directly in front of it, so you can walk around the exterior and study the roof geometry before you commit to anything.
You also get towny-house-13.schem, the same structure as a schematic ready to paste into your own survival or creative world, plus a README.txt with the instructions spelled out. If you just want to explore the build, load the world and start looking around. If you want it in your own town, the schematic is the file you need.
If you would rather skip manual file juggling entirely, the foxygame.net launcher handles the whole process for you: Towny House 13 - Dormer House installs in a single click, and the launcher keeps it updated and matched to the correct Minecraft version automatically.
Supported Minecraft Versions and Loaders
The playable world targets Java Edition 26.1.2 or newer, so players on recent Java releases can jump straight in. The schematic is more forgiving and works from Java Edition 1.20.4 onward, which means you can paste it into older modded or server setups without issues.
For pasting, you have two solid options. WorldEdit covers the classic plugin route on Paper and Spigot servers, while FastAsyncWorldEdit is the go-to for large operations and is widely used on Fabric and NeoForge installations. Both read the Sponge .schem format without conversion, so no extra tools are required.
How to Install Towny House 13 - Dormer House
Playing the Included World
- Install it through the CurseForge app, or copy the folder from the zip into .minecraft/saves/.
- Open Minecraft and load the world in Singleplayer. It runs in creative mode with cheats enabled.
Pasting the Schematic
- Install WorldEdit or FastAsyncWorldEdit.
- Copy the .schem file into plugins/WorldEdit/schematics/ for Paper or Spigot, or config/worldedit/schematics/ for Fabric and NeoForge singleplayer.
- In game, run //schem load towny-house-13.
- Stand where you want the build to appear and run //paste.
Once the paste finishes, give the interior a quick pass. The 4,896 blocks leave plenty of room to furnish bedrooms, a storage cellar, or a small workshop, and the dark palette takes lanterns, candles, and soul torches beautifully. If you plan to use it in a Towny server, drop it on a plot with a little breathing room around the staircase so players can path in and out comfortably.
