  1. Does the 20×20 limit include the garden, as well? And if not, is there a limit on how big the garden can be?

  3. I have decided not to participate in this one. However I will still submit a house outside of this contest. I just want to contribute in giving others the chance they deserve.

  5. Oh i’m certainly not implying that you guys couldn’t win with me in the picture.

    It’s just that these competitions bring out the worst in people.

    That is why I will submit my building outside of the contest.

  6. But i’m not trying to keep people from participating. Give it your best shot!

  8. I would love to take part, but I’m going on holiday for 2 weeks on Friday, so I won’t be able to take part DX

  9. LOL I am going to build one. It’s just going to be submitted to the city rather than entered in the contest.

  15. Well I’m not looking to win or anything, but I love the challenge in contests. So I thought I’d give it a shot.

    I went for a more modern style house. Hope you like it.

  19. Long Ago in a far away corner of Minecraft~
    There lived a wise old miner. He spent much of his life in the mines and eventually stumbled onto a incredible treasure! A pure Lapis Lazuli crystal with magical properties. This mythical stone could cause objects to float! Once its existence became known many countries who desired the stone came to him and wished to purchase the stone. But the miner would not be swayed by their offers for he knew that they would only use the stone to wage war. As time passed these disgruntled and fearful countries became ever covetous of the stones power and hired thieves and assassins to retrieve the stone. Aware of this the wise miner took the crystal and affixed it to his own manor house and few away into the clouds, never to return.

    Many years have gone by and this legendary floating house was never discovered, until now! In the skylands over Uncovery the house was discovered drifting among the floating islands. Tho the crystals method of operation has long ago been forgotten, our finest redstone engineers have managed to control its powers and even now are directing it down to our fair city!

    • Nice. I like when people add back-stories to their entries. :) Unique design and interesting layout. Your old miner needed a wife though, who could help out with the colors and overall scheme of the house. And the cellar could use some serious cleaning!

      • A wife who died years before the miner and still haunts this house today. (now this is best seller material)

        • Wow osf, ths is like Lord of the Rings all over again. How do you do it osf?

    sorry can not get the screen shots to work

  25. I’m going to have a garden/lawn under an overhang and a courtyard in the middle. Will it still qualify?

  26. Uncovery, please note that if you copy it over to the city that you dig down 2 spaces under the fences so you get the redstone torches under the tables and the netherrack in the fire pit.
