AGHCK! NERD POLES IN THE FIRST IMAGE! KILL THEM WITH FIRE! D:
On topic, it's quite amazing that people manage to pull off modern builds despite the very... biased aesthetic. Personally, I find it rather difficult to exploit the blocks in such a way, but I've only made two or three attempts at it. My skills in modern building design have improved greatly after performing a great deal of exploits in the genre on Minecraft. Perhaps I'll try my hand at it when my current projects have been completed.
Don't get me started with the nerd poles. They were all over the place!! If someone cant afford the time to get rid of the poles when they are done with their project, they shouldn't be on this game at all.
