Ash's House

Ash's house is a Location on the C.O.W SMP. It is located roughly 250 blocks north-east from spawn in a dark oak forest.

Location
The area around Ash's house is dense with thick dark trees and giant mushrooms, sunlight rarely reaching below the canopy. The forest floor is mushy with leaves and littered with small brown and red mushrooms. There is a feint path leading back towards the main town area, but it is mostly obscured under grass and leaves.

The pond is surrounded by a rocky bank and numerous shrubs, self-seeded berry bushes generating a small source of food for nearby creatures. The water is clear and covered in lily pads and flowers, with fish happily swimming below. A few stepping stones lead to a small open-air cave to the south. A steep hill on one side of the pond is covered in vines that creep down over the exposed dirt.

The trees surrounding the pond have lanterns hanging off of various branches and hollows to give light to the area, with small posts and lanterns in places without a tree available.

Appearance
Ash's house is a small log cabin built of spruce and dark oak woods with trapdoor windows so Soap didn't fly into the glass. There is a small chimney that connects to a fireplace on the second floor, where Rox puts their bed.

The first floor has two staircases, one up to the attic/second floor and one down to the basement area. Under the stairs is a bookshelf and next to it is a crafting table and a furnace. There is a painting between two windows and a 2x2 map on the opposite wall.

Outside the house is a small wheat farm and a collection of white, red and pink flowers and a few ferns on the northern wall, both surrounded by broken fences. Each windowsill has a flower in a pot below it and two small bushes have been planted on each side of the door. The roof is covered in various leaves, vines draping down over the walls of the second floor.

Soap's Hut
Soap lived with Ash for a few years prior to the events of the SMP, while Ash was teaching him to fly. It is located to the south of Ash's cabin on a small hill. His hut is a 4x4x1.5 square with a bed, crafting table, chest and furnace. The entrance is a half slab so that only Soap can get in. It is made of spruce wood and trap doors with dark oak logs on each corner. While Soap no longer lives with Ash, they make an effort to keep the tiny home clean (reaching in through the trapdoor roof) so that Soap can return if he ever finds himself with nowhere to stay.

Trivia

 * Soap doesn't know this, but the flower garden on the northern wall on the cabin is based on Soap's favourite colours, as a reminder to Ash when he isn't visiting.
