Hehe, sphylinder... MCEdit & Structure Planner, etc. are good for when you have the ideas down and want to see how it will work before going into Creative and messing with it until it works. Starting with an existing image or a sketch, then using Paint & Gimp, then using MCEdit or Structure Planner, etc. is the best order to do it, as you invest less time in making something that WON'T work and more time in things that WILL. Peace!
This is exactly what I was looking for, you are a life saver dude. I am assuming you can use the same technique in gimp for pixel art too, but the planning is fantastic too. Liked + Subscribed, also I`d like to get in contact for more tips, hints and chat; I`ll leave you a PM.

Wow wowowoowow wait...... 1.4 doesnt have that large mountains?!?! the moutain high update was in 1.8? right how can he have so high mountains in 1.4?
I did all this for my structures, but I used real graph paper, a straight edge and some basic math. Haha, I'm not sure which way is nerdier, but at least I don't have to alt-tab out of minecraft with the hard copy on hand.
@Surelog I personally found work with graph paper quite speedy. I guess I'd make shorter time with a pixel editor, but not by much. YMMV of course :) As for printing: That's also a good tip, though I think you will not be able to as easily make on-the-fly adjustments to your schematics.
i like the idea of using paint because i always did it on excel and you couldnt really get squers and it was really difficult and i didnt thik of using the grid button
i like the idea of using paint because i always did it on excel and you couldnt really get squers and it was really difficult and i didnt thik of using the grid button
I can't believe this idea never occurred to me, since I spent many many hours of my childhood making pixel art (albeit not very GOOD pixel art) in Paint. Probably why I enjoy Minecraft so much, lol. Thanks for posting this video and reminding me of my roots!
There must be a language barrier or you don't read very well. I use both. Paint for the shapes and curves, Gimp for the close zoom ad other things such as layers, etc.
@MRMASTERTRON1407TOM He said: Paint, unlike gimp has shapes and curved lines you can make, I'll translate it: Paint, has shapes and squiglies and gimp does not
Make a route like drawing on paint and write how the structure looks like top-down, from the sides and write structure info on the side of the items, i do that alot

@Sheriff321w English is the most accepted language online, because of a few reasons:
1. English is the most spoken language after chinese (but the most chinese people dont have free-internet).
2. English is easy to learn, im not english myself, im from holland and Dutch language is almost the same as German.
3. The most games are in english itself.
4 The movies to.
So, when you go on youtube next time, make sure you've learned to understand english.
And DONT put comments in German!
