Hearthmere build guide

Fountain and the lake end

Fourteen steps, one page each. You start with the fountain in the middle of town, then build outward to the square and up the road to the lake. Every page has a picture of just that step, the blocks to bring, and the exact coordinates.

What you'll have at the end

The finished fountain, the paved town square around it, the Entrance Avenue running north to the lake, North Street across it, 24 lamp posts, and corner stakes marking where the lodges, barn, gardens and the four nearest house plots will go.

How to read the coordinates. Positions are world (X, Z). G is the ground layer you read as Y 64. G+1 is the first block you place on top of the ground, G+2 the one above that, and so on. Paving replaces the ground block itself: dig out the grass and put the paving block in that same spot so it sits flush.

Coming later

The Community Hall end of town, south of the square, waits until the forest there is cleared: the Hall Approach, South Street, the lodge forecourts and the Hall itself.
