Tower Schematics

Towers fit a lot of building into a small footprint, which makes them a good choice for tight plots, mountain tops or the corners of a castle wall. Common styles include stone lookout towers, wizard towers with tall pointed roofs and tower houses with a room on each floor.

The tricky parts are the stairs and the roof. Spiral staircases have to fit inside the walls, and conical roofs are shaped from stairs and slabs that change at every level. Litematica's layer view shows each level separately, so you can build the tower floor by floor without losing your place.

Tall builds are more likely to be hit by lightning during thunderstorms, which can set wooden roofs alight. A lightning rod on top redirects strikes that land nearby and stops them starting fires.
