Useful Tips
Use Spectator Mode
In Creative, use spectator mode to see inside large structures and ensure you don't miss any blocks.
Organize Your Materials
Before building in Survival, use PhantomHelper to see what materials you need and organize them in chests.
Customize Colors
In the settings, you can change the projection colors to make it look better in different biomes.
Use Easy Place
Easy Place mode helps you place blocks automatically in the correct position, saving you a lot of time.
