[[Aurora Block]]s make up the walls of the tower, giving the structure an ethereal appearance as the colours move and pulse in random patterns over the surface. Inside, supporting columns built from [[Aurora Pillar]] blocks can be seen, standing distinct from the walls with their bright, ice-like appearance, though it does not change colour. The floors and stairs are built from birch slabs. | ||
The overall structure of the palace consists of multiple tall towers, interconnected by small doorways at varying levels within the chambers. While some rooms can be reached by simply walking up, others are built so that jumping, mining and block placement are required to reach further up. Despite the softly pulsing walls, it can be difficult to get one's bearings while exploring the palace - adventurers are strongly recommended to bring light sources to illuminate the interior, as well as some way to mark their progress as the utter lack of distinguishing features can make it very easy to get lost. | The overall structure of the palace consists of multiple tall towers, interconnected by small doorways at varying levels within the chambers.

Found only near the top of the palace, this area can be easily discerned by the thick blocks of {{mcw|Ice}} and {{mcw|Packed Ice}} that form a sort of lair. It is here that the [[Snow Queen]] can be found and confronted. Adventurers will need to tunnel up to reach her, but this can prove difficult as breaking the ice may release streams of freezing water, washing the incautious back down into the lower chambers. | Found only near the top of the palace, this area can be easily discerned by the thick blocks of {{mcw|Ice|Ice}} and {{mcw|Packed Ice|Packed Ice}} that form a sort of lair.

Icy enemies patrol the dim halls and walkways. Most common are Ice Cores, animated by frost magic and coming in two varieties - [[Stable Ice Core]]s have a distinctive halo of icy spikes and launch magical snowballs at intruders - while one is merely an annoyance, they can prove to be a deadly threat in numbers, especially as the snowballs pack enough punch to knock an unwary explorer off the narrow platforms in the palace. [[Unstable Ice Core]]s do not hold back from the fray, but instead charge in close, inflicting damage with their sharp spikes. They present an additional danger by violently exploding upon death, destroying some blocks but transforming others with the sudden release of the magical energy that bound them. Also found are [[Snow Guardian]]s, magical animus clad in armour formed of materials found elsewhere in the Twilight Forest. | Icy enemies patrol the dim halls and walkways.

At the top of the palace, the Snow Queen can be found within an icy lair. | |||

Defeating the Snow Queen ends the Snow Forest part of the Twilight Forest journey. In order to explore the [[Twilight Highlands]], adventurers will also need to find and kill the [[Hydra]] and [[Ur-Ghast]]. | |||
