"Let us love winter, for it is the spring of genius" - Pietro Aretino

The sun rose over the sleepy island of Winterhearth. Nestled in the far North of the world, the island was untouched by man. Foxes ran around the frosty hills, returning to their dens with a layer of snow dusting their fur. Crystals of ice dotted the island, glistening in the morning sun. Whilst the outside world was one of war and uncertainty, the creatures of Winterhearth knew only peace.

Winterhearth is my entry into the Arctic Summit community event. I always love to participate in the community events here on Planet Minecraft and this event was no exception. I'm always experimenting with snow-themed maps and every year helps me develop the theme even more. WorldMachine was instrumental in creating this map, with the river feature helping out greatly in crafting this island. The fragmented ice was created in WorldPainter through use of the frost layer and is a technique I've been using in some of the marketplace maps I've released this year. I look forward to seeing what 2020 can bring!

Alongside in-game tweaking, I used the following tools to create this map:

- WorldPainter (for creating the map)
- WorldMachine (for creating the map)
- Chunky (for rendering the map)
