Minecraft World Edit Tutorial - The Quarry (Land Masses)

World Edit Demo - The Quarry

I've nicknamed this structure the quarry but this tutorial will teach you ho to create large and spectacular land masses using World Edit for Minecraft.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------­--------------------------------

Step One:
To start we are going to make a arch out of stone spheres. We assign a brush to a tool and right click to create stone spheres which we arrange in a large arch.
//br sphere stone 5
Defines a brush that creates stone spheres with a radius of 5

Step Two:
Now to make the arch more realistic we smooth it using the smooth brush. I use a small brush size because I have more success with it. You really have to play around and undo a bunch to get a clean looking and natural looking arch. It's tricky but if you focus on the tops of the surfaces you will have better luck. Don't try to smooth out the undersides of the arch. It doesn't work well.
//br smooth 2 2
Defines a brush which smooths a 2 by 2 area at a time

Step Three:
Add more stone spheres with the first brush around the arch to make a border of sorts. I left an entrance of sorts to the center, which is where the lake will be.
//br sphere stone 5
Defines a brush that creates stone spheres with a radius of 5

Step Four:
Smooth the perimeter you built out. Be picky and don't be afraid to delete sections and re-try them. If grass creeps up the sides of the stone don't worry. That's actually good in moderation. It will add to the topsoil effect and make the slopes less intense.
//br smooth 2 2
Defines a brush which smooths a 2 by 2 area at a time

Step Five:
Add topsoil! To do this easily go to the top of your project, BUT NOT PAST THE SKY BUILD LIMIT. And create a large sand cylinder with a height of one. This will fall onto your project and coat it with sand. This will lag your computer so be patient before doing anything else. Repeat as many times as you want your topsoil thick. Doing a sand cylinder with a height more then 1 will cause more lag then doing one at a time and can lead to crashes of single and multiplayer. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
//cyl sand (radius) 1
Creates a sand cylinder with a height of one expanded to your radius. Try to have as small a radius as you can.

Step Six:
Paint the topsoil as grass by creating a grass brush which masks sand. This will replace all sand with grass.
//br sphere grass 30
and then... //mask sand
Defines a brush which replaces sand in a radius of 30 with grass

!!!- After you finish reset your mask by typing
//mask

Step Seven:
Cut away a lake using an air brush. This brush with change any block in it's radius to air EFFECTIVELY DESTROYING ANYTHING YOU CLICK ON!!! BE CAREFUL!!! Dig into where you want your lake to be and make sure it has no leaks
//br sphere air 10
Defines a brush which will replace all blocks (including water and lava) in a radius of 10 to air.

Step Eight:
Fill in the lake by floating into a spot where you know if water spawned at your center it wouldn't overflow the hole. Then type in the fill command.
//fill water (radius) (depth)
FIlls the area defined by depth and radius with water

Step Nine:
Paint the bordering dirt to your lake with sandstone for added texture
//br sphere sandstone (radius)
//mask dirt
Defines a brush to replace dirt (not grass) to sandstone within a radius

Step Ten:
Add some trees by either using the forest generation command or by binding a tool to spawn trees and placing each tree manually and with more control.
//forestgen (radius) (tree type)
..or to do it manually..
//tree (tree type)

These are the tree types:
Regular, Pine, Redwood, Big, TallRedwood, Birch, RandRedwood, Random


AND YOUR DONE!!!
That's how you make my design showcased in the video. But try to use these commands and modify them to create over kinds of complex land masses using world edit. If you do create something new, message me and if it's "TOO LEGIT TO QUIT" I'll link it in this video. Happy Terraforming!!!
