An integral part of making a wintery house is having snow, hence after finding a snow biome and making your house, you can cover it with snow. Players can place snow blocks or sheets on top of the roof and surround the sides of the house with snow blocks as well. This will give the house a snowy look.


4) Use Dark Oak Wood

Dark Oak Wood is the darkest wood in Minecraft and can be found in the Dark Forest biome. This is an excellent type of wood to build winter homes as it looks stunning and contrasts the white snow.


3) Chimney and fireplace

A cozy house is never complete without a chimney and a warm fireplace. Players can easily make a chimney with Cobblestone blocks and a campfire can act as a fireplace inside the house. The smoke from the Campfire can go up the chimney and the smoke can be seen from outside the house, making it look really authentic.


2) Make a Snow Golem outside the house

A snowy winter is never complete without people making a snowman in their backyards. And players can recreate exactly that in Minecraft. Players can make Snow Golems with snow blocks and carved pumpkins and leash them near the house. This can bring more life to the build and give it a wintery look.


1) Make an igloo house

If players want to go all out on winter houses, they can make a complete igloo for the ultimate winter experience. If they have enough snow blocks and the right tools, and they are living in a cold biome, they can make an amazing igloo completely made of snow and ice blocks. Igloos can be of various shapes and sizes, and looks more blended with the snowy environment.
