By using a simple one line command we were able to create the shape in a matter of seconds (and just as quickly remove it once we’d snapped the picture). The amount of time it would take to get that perfectly right by hand (calculating it, mapping out the layers needed, and then placing all the glass blocks) would likely take days. In the screenshot we’ve encased a tall cottage in a giant hollow ellipsoid of glass.
Look at the lead image of this tutorial for an example of another task that would be insanely tedious. If your channel is more than a few blocks long, for example, the water from the pond will water fall into the channel, the water from the river will waterfall into the channel, but the two bodies of water will not level themselves and merge together like real bodies of water.Īn in-game editing suite allows you to quickly correct annoying quirks like this and so much more. In Minecraft all sorts of weird things happen in the same scenario. In the real world if you have a pond next to a river and you want to link the two then you simply dig a channel between the two bodies of water and physics does the rest (assuming the bodies of water are on an even elevation, the water just flows between the two and levels off). Take for example the way water behaves in Minecraft. Why do you want to use this tutorial? Because some things in Minecraft are just too agonizingly tedious to deal with the old fashioned way, especially when there’s a better way.

Today, we’re taking a look at in-game mods that give you god-like building powers which turn mountain moving into a simple project. Moving an entire mountain or digging a channel between oceans could take weeks of real-time effort. You can always edit your Minecraft map (construction and destruction is the basic premise of the game after all), but the basic in-game tools make big edits extremely time consuming.
