Weekly Tips #1: Building Around Your Environment
One of the best ways to make a great build is to build around the environment. Fancy plugins like World Edit and Voxel Sniper aren't always necessary.

Throughout this integral guide, I'm going to aid you along the path to bigger and better builds. Often times, people just jump in and build, but we mustn't hurry things if we want our builds to be all the more satisfying when they are finished. Building the actual builings should be the easy (and the most simple step in any great build), but we have to start with what's underneath your pixelated feet.

News: The Forbidden Underground City is Coming Along Well
I call it "the Forbidden"...city, because this is mostly the handywork of user ThfrbIddn1. Above the city a stone structure, created by User zoobawa, looks over a mineshaft eagerly drawing up glowstone in great wood crates. I wonder if the miners knew what they'd discover inside.

Crafting Blocks into Bricks: A Minecraft LEGO Diorama
Let's face it. Minecraft probably wouldn't exist today if not for LEGOs. They are fundamentally the same; building objects out of blocks. Only Minecraft has expanded on the idea, creating a world where nearly anything can be made.
