Making Outlines
As you can see in the previous page that the exam plot is auto generated by Build the earth terrain data which is data from Open street map. Unfortunately the terrain data is not perfect and many building outlines are left out as a blank area. We will be using World Edit with Build the earth custom commands to create the building and roads outlines.
caution
before you follow this page, please make sure you already cleared the terrain with world edit. If you haven't, go back to this page and do it first.
Tpll
Tpll is a Build the earth command to teleport yourself to a specific real-world geographic coordinates in minecraft.
We can use this command to accurately mark out building's coordinate by satellite image.
In this example we will use google map to mark it out
Marking points with tpll
- Go your plot in google.com/map (
/plot link
to get your plot location).- Find noticeable pivot points (corners) of your building/scenery that you want to mark.
- Hover your cursor there and Right-Click, a popup window will pop up with geographic coordinate. Click it and the coordinate should be copied to your clipboard.
- Go back to minecraft and type in command
/tpll
followed by the text that you have copied.
( Ctrl + V or Command + V to paste the clipboard in minecraft chat)- Press Enter and you will be teleported to the point you copied.
- Don't move around yet, place a block right where you are standing to mark out the tpll-ed point.
- Repeat this as many times as you want and you will learn how to connect it together in the next section.

Conecting Markers
We will be using World Edit commands to connect the marker up.
But first you need to know about block ids.
Block ID
- Block ID is a code-number for blocks, the block name can be used in the command's
- By default you cannot see block ids, press F3 + H to enable it.
- Now, when you hover your cursor over any block in inventory you should see number formatted name behind the actual name of item
Using Block ID
- For example when you read the number formatted id, you see
(#0035/4)
- In World Edit command, we will use
35:4
as the block idtip
In our plot server, we support snake-case id. The id can be see in form of
minecraft:block_name
, can usyoueblock_name
or block id.MinecraftĐang tái...

Roads
We prefer the gray concrete powder block for roads in ASEAN Team.
To select your selection for the roads, we will use the //sel poly
command.
Setting roads with //sel poly
