CubeBuilders Guide

Ive noticed that some of the donors are having difficulty using world edit. After a quick search, Ive found a guide that explains the majority of it.

the link is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lc42-LvvwbY

If anyone has additional questions on how to use world edit, Id be happy to teach you. :)

Hey everyone, One of the greatest ways to share your experiences on Minecraft is to use screenshots! Whether youre just showing something off or reporting something to staff, taking screenshots is the way to go!

First off, we need to discuss how to take a screenshot on all devices.


PC/Master Race


For those on PC, the easiest way to capture your screen is to hit the following:





Mac:

Press Command (?)-Shift-3. The screenshot is added to your desktop. This is similar to using Print Screen on a PC.




This should save the image to what is called the clipboard or your desktop for Mac users! Now you just need to open paint or some other image software.

from here, just paste it into paint/your software.



One last step. The key here is to submit it to the forums!

Simply start a post, and go to one of the items pointed out in the image below.



The small box is to imbed an image. To do that, simply use a site such as Imgur. Ill provide a link.

The larger one at the bottom is to post attachments. To do that, just click on "Choose File" and upload away!

If you get irritated because of chat logs due to /wtfisthis (mods+) and cannot get the ID of items then this site is best reference for IDs of items (for members + easiest site).
