Question for builders

[ZJump]

Basically I’m an old mc player, and building always has been a pain in the ass. I just saw someones factions spawn build and it looks amazing. I’m wondering, how do you and many other builders make these builds in such short times? I’ve heard about some softwares which convert 3D objects into mc but i don’t really understand any of it. Any one mind explaining? Thanks!

From experience I can say that these large builds are primarily done is such a short time frame due to helpfull plugins. Worldedit, VoxelSniper, GoBrush, GoPainter etc. really help to speed up a large build as no blocks have to be physically placed by hand. It is also possible to convert for instance an .obj file into a schematic therefore allowing the builder to instantly paste it into their world.

MatthewC basically summed up everything, but forgot FAWE (Fast Async World Edit) and Arceon in terms of plugins as well as the World Painter program. In addition to all of these, builders often practice their styles and themes that they're good at; once they've practiced, say, medieval theming and architecture, they can more easily whip up a medieval build because they know the block ratios, roof styles, and types of designs used with blocks.
