Want to know how to make great realistic buildings? Its very simple. Do it like a real life architect! This step-by-step will let you build huge projects easily!

1.Lay out your project in a simple style. What do you want it too look like? Choose a basic block group to use. Want to make a medieval castle? Use stonebrick cobblestone wool and oak blocks/planks for a realistic feel. Or if you want a realistic skyscraper use stone glass wool and doublestacked stone slabs. Choose a feel to work with and tailor your group. DON`T be affraid to add new blocks to the group!

2.Make a cross section on graph paper. You may have to use more than one sheet! Figure out what block fits where.

3.Clear a space in your world or make a new superflat.

4.Start with corners and edges. Put in your floor. Dont be affraid to take a break and get a drink of water. Stop every so often to take a look at your work and feel good about it. Dont nitpick tiny problems.

5.MOST IMPORTANTLY: Have fun! invite some friends and have a LAN party to help finish it up!
