Introduction

Building is one of the biggest sections on mts, so there are many many tutorials on how to learn new techniques and improve overall building. The first section is all about written tutorials, the second is for video tutorials where you are guided through by resident builders. We also have a very large tiptorial section. This section is for large articles that try to help you improve in a general way or form, rather than learn a new technique.

What will I need?

All you will need is your game. No additional tools, plugins, or programs needed.  :)
