Hi there, I'm Mephisto Waltz, author of Instant Minecraft Designs How-to. I shall be your guide for this extraordinary adventure in the world of Minecraft architecture. I can't tell you just how stoked I am that you are reading this article. I really hope you get a lot out of it. When you start building using the tutorial discussed in this article, I expect that you at least have a rudimentary knowledge of how Minecraft works. If you don't, just take some time and get to know the various controls and features of Minecraft; it really doesn't take long to get the hang of it.
Visit my website www.mephistowaltzminecraft.com for instructions on setting up your own Minecraft server and installing all of the mod files required to follow along with this article. I really hope you have a great time with this article. Good luck and most of all, have fun!
The main intention of this article is to introduce you to the use of the very powerful mods: WorldEdit CUI and VoxelSniper GUI. If you have ever seen some truly amazing Minecraft structures and wondered how on earth they were built, chances are they were built using these mods. That's not to say you can't build truly amazing Minecraft structures without these mods; you can, but it just takes a lot longer. These tools make your workflow in Minecraft exponentially more efficient and effective, leaving that much more time for you to get creative.
At the start of the article, I'll gently introduce you to some of the more commonly used commands in WorldEdit CUI, and a little bit of VoxelSniper GUI's functionality. I'll start off by walking you through almost every action and cover each step fairly comprehensively.
