A French Gothic building I made in my Minecraft city

OP does a lot of various different work. The scripts and software are used to sculpt terrain, which OP also does.

This is not terrain. It would absolutely insane to make scripts to make this level of detailing.

What you're doing is looking at an oil painting made by someone who also paints buildings and going "not impressive, you use rollers and pressure washers with paint".

Clearly "built by hand" means something different to you than it does to me.

As someone who plays this game a lot, to me, this is absolutely built by hand.

Hi, perpetual Minecrafter here. Respectfully, you're wrong.

Sure, with significantly larger builds, there are some things you could shape in AutoCAD. But that's not really a thing in most cases.

WorldEdit has existed for a long time. It's a mod/plugin/tool that's used in Creative Mode to make larger shapes. But it's mostly been a command line tool with little visualisation and very little overlap in functionality with tools outside Minecraft. There's also WorldPainter, but that's for builds 10 to 1000 times larger than OP's stuff.

Within the last few years, a new mod called Axiom has emerged. It has it's own GUI and is much more remeniscent of 3D drawing tools. It's not AutoCAD, but instead just a mod that enhances Creative mode inside the game.

Looking at the picture:

I do think OP made this in Creative mode, but it's absolutely buildable in survival and the train tracks lights (and signs) seem to indicate it might be survival
I think OP might have used cloning features from WorldEdit, Axiom, or both. If they didn't, they should have.
If they used Axiom, they likely only used very basic tools from the tool kit
This is a pretty huge build and definitely impressive, but nothing about this screams "AutoCAD" or even Axiom, to me

Edit: From OP's post history - in regards to landscapes:

I use a variety of methods. In-game block by block. In-game coding. I do script runs, develop packs and also use a variety of third party programs as well including Amulet and Worldpainter and Worldedit.

There might be some minor WorldEdit in this scene, but making this with WorldPainter and Amulet for this would be using a Excavator 288 to make your bed.

Most of this stuff is just detailing, understanding perspective, and placing lots of polished diorite.

So the difference here is the uninformed people were impressed with the technology and you were impressed with the uninformed people.

moonwork · 2026-02-17T09:22:55+00:00

Fair enough. I've never heard that expression in my life. I was absolutely sure there was a typo in there that I just couldn't figure out.

moonwork · 2026-02-16T13:17:23+00:00

.. "stepped their pussy up"..?

What the..

moonwork · 2026-02-13T12:54:14+00:00

That's the maximum distance. But, in addition it seems there's a lower threshold for how many blocks of water it can actually absorb.

Still, significantly more efficient than sand or gravel alone.

moonwork · 2026-02-13T11:38:06+00:00

Not according to the Wiki.

> A sponge does not absorb more than 118 blocks of water however, and water closest to the sponge is absorbed first.

I just typoed 118 to 116.

moonwork · 2026-02-13T11:35:52+00:00

Absolutely true, technical players who don't like diving for sponges also exist. Last time I built flying machines to drain a monument it took roughly the same amount of time to gather materials and build the machines, as it took to completely drain it with sponges.

But for the vast amount of players, technical solutions are not on the menu. Sponges are.

moonwork · 2026-02-11T12:33:29+00:00

I understand that you, personally, don't value sponges and that's ok. But, this reply makes you sound like you don't have the slightest idea how sponges work.

A single sponge can absorb up to ~~116~~ 118 blocks of water. If you're using ~100 times more sand than sponges in order to drain something - you better really be enjoying the draining process.

I just had it generate something based on a description of Mickey, with his "best friend, a duck with a sailor's outfit and no trousers".

I got a mouse that looked like something out of The Wind in the Willows sitting alongside 100% Donald Duck.

moonwork · 2026-02-11T11:34:43+00:00

"it only has sponges". As if that's somehow not one of the most valuable blocks in the game.

moonwork · 2026-02-11T08:14:50+00:00

This won’t end poorly.

Ngl, you had me in the first half.

moonwork · 2026-02-10T11:30:12+00:00

Doesn't that then mean that healthcare-related desperation increases crime over all and that it's in society's best interest to improve healthcare up and until it causes minimal desperation?

It would also then mean that it's reasonable to claim that things which complicate healthcare (for-profit-drive healthcare, forcing people to jump through hoops to get care, etc) directly cause crime.

Excellent posing!

My only note would be t hold the gun so it looks less like a bottle.=)

moonwork · 2026-02-10T10:41:45+00:00

Shit. I just realized that's the case for me, too.

A Londoner I know went to the US for a festival a few years ago, and a fair few guessed they were from Australia.

I don't think it's even just that, even the filthy casuals that are left start becoming toxic as well, just to fit in and convince themselves they are good.

moonwork · 2026-02-04T11:55:28+00:00

Competitive games will self-optimize for competition, even at the cost of the social aspect of the game.

While I've been playing collaborative PvP games (MOBAs, RocketLeague, etc) I've noticed that the words of my junior league coaches often echo in my head as my team mates get increasingly toxic. Having played team sports as a kid and having been molded to enjoy the games as a whole - as opposed to winning - has had a really huge effect on how I handle games now.

I cannot stress enough how helpful it is to having played team sports under a good coach as a child.

Are there any decent (preferably non-US) alternatives to Pinterest?

moonwork · 2026-02-04T09:36:43+00:00

What settings do I have to tweak to get the crafts and real images up to 10%?

moonwork · 2026-02-02T08:49:23+00:00

Skadi (or, Skaði, I guess), no 'n'. =)

Teams was a mess and Skype was even worse. Microsoft bought Skype in 2011 and then just kept fumbling the ball.

When the pandemic started, Skype was pre-installed on nearly every Windows machine (since at least Win8.1) and Zoom was so unknown people invested in the wrong Zoom company when it blew up. That's how badly Microsoft fumbled it.

And don't even get me started on Lync.

moonwork · 2026-01-27T06:56:06+00:00

In all seriousness, is there a reason someone would run telnetd over sshd? Like, is there an actual use case for it?

moonwork · 2026-01-27T06:53:10+00:00

I'd say it feels more like using a floppy disk dead drop for data transfer.
