So good

One of the most amazing things about Minecraft is how we can all share our creations, be inspired by each other, and learn.

I never considered myself a builder, not like those other people-like the people who build giant amazing creations. I felt like they something special that I was missing. I’ve spent many hours watching players build amazing things and looking at the details of their creations to figure out just how they could make something look so good. After all, we all use the same blocks, so in every creation there is an opportunity to discover a new style or technique.

I kept building, taking on larger projects and making videos about them, even joining the Minecraft development team. Despite this, there was never a single were I felt like I had become a a builder there was always so much to learn! Over time I’ve come to realize that there is no bar to clear. We can all build and with the boundless imagination of the Minecraft community there is always something to be inspired by.

We are all builders.
