Towny House 4 - Stone-Porch Cottage
Every town needs that one building that makes visitors stop and stare. Towny House 4 - Stone-Porch Cottage is exactly that kind of build: a wide medieval cottage topped with a hipped deepslate roof, a tall stone chimney, a side dormer, and a small stone porch with steps leading up to the entrance. It fits naturally into survival towns, roleplay villages, and creative showcase worlds alike.
What You Get With This Build
The cottage measures 36 x 38 x 33 blocks (width x height x length) and uses 4,223 blocks in total. It is a substantial structure, but the footprint stays town-friendly, so you can slot it between roads, walls, and neighboring plots without tearing half your settlement down. The palette leans into weathered, grounded tones: cracked deepslate tiles, stripped dark oak wood, polished blackstone bricks, soul soil, and barrels for detailing.
The download includes everything you need to get started:
- A flat creative world with the build already placed, ready to play. You spawn right in front of it.
- towny-house-4.schem, the same build as a schematic for pasting into your own world.
- A README.txt file with step-by-step instructions.
Supported Minecraft Versions and Loaders
The world file is built for Java Edition 26.1.2 or newer. The schematic works with Java Edition 1.20.4 or newer and is saved in the Sponge .schem format, which means it plays nicely with both WorldEdit and FastAsyncWorldEdit. Whether you run Paper or Spigot on a server, or Fabric or NeoForge in singleplayer, the schematic drops straight into the correct folder and loads without conversion headaches.
Playing the World
The quickest route is the CurseForge app, which handles the install for you. If you prefer doing it manually, copy the folder from the zip into .minecraft/saves/. Then open Minecraft, choose Singleplayer, and load the world. It runs in creative mode with cheats enabled, so you can fly around the cottage and study the roof geometry up close before committing to a paste in your main save.
If you would rather skip folder juggling entirely, the foxygame.net launcher can handle Towny House 4 - Stone-Porch Cottage through its built-in add-on catalog, installing it in a single click and keeping it updated as new Minecraft versions arrive.
How to Install the Schematic
Pasting the build into your own world takes only a few steps. First, install WorldEdit or FastAsyncWorldEdit. Next, copy the .schem file into plugins/WorldEdit/schematics/ on Paper or Spigot servers, or into config/worldedit/schematics/ for Fabric and NeoForge singleplayer setups. In game, run //schem load towny-house-4, stand where you want the cottage to appear, and run //paste. The structure appears instantly, fully intact.
A quick tip: flatten and clear the target area first, and give the build a few extra blocks of breathing room on each side. The stone porch and chimney read best when they are not pressed against a wall or a hillside.
Why It Works in a Towny Setting
The name says it all. This is a house designed to sit inside a settlement, not float alone in a void. The deepslate roof gives it a heavy, established look that pairs well with cobblestone roads and market stalls, while the side dormer adds just enough asymmetry to keep the silhouette interesting from every angle. The stone porch creates a natural focal point at the entrance, which is perfect for signs, lanterns, or a small garden bed.
Because the build is free from the Spaleforce collection, you can use it in as many towns and worlds as you like. Swap the soul soil accents for moss or gravel if you want a cleaner look, or keep the palette as-is for that damp, northern medieval atmosphere.
