This pretty much explains all there is to it:


Except for the command. The one below is for summoning FENCES only, so if you want a different block just change the DisplayTile ID. The DisplayOffset will raise or lower the block by one pixel at a time, so if you want to stack blocks just increase or decrease it by 16 at a time. To make a block lower than the minecart itself, just put a - before the number.

/summon Minecart ~ ~ ~ {CustomDisplayTile:1,DisplayTile:85,DisplayData:0,DisplayOffset:32}

Glad to see people enjoy it.

Hey guys, Dragoncaster speaking, a member of the Aphelion Build Team. I was messing around on our server the other day and came across an interesting use for minecarts. You all know that they can be summoned with blocks riding in them, right? Well it just so happens that a fence riding in a minecart looks quite similar to that of a ladder in real life. Me and my sense of detail just had to put this to use--this is the result:
So that's pretty much all there is to it. If you jump around a lot or get too close to it, it gets really glitchy, and any lighting must be shining directly on the minecart itself rather than the block. That being said, it's best to only use it for screenshots since it tends to calm down when you stand still. If you would like a tutorial on how to build this, or something like it, let me know and I'll try to walk you through it best I can. Thanks!

7. Why do you want to join Team Aphelion? What is the main reason?

You guys seem professional and I want to join a team that is not full of noobs and people that are not organized. So I seen your thread and I decided to apply. I would love to make cool and really nice building with someone and have fun doing it. Another reason is I want to make friendships by playing this game and this is one of the best ways to do it.

8. Tell us something about yourself.

I am from Bosnia and Herzegovina and I am in love with Minecraft since the alpha days. I am mostly doing creative stuff like building and testing things out. I love to play Multiplayer. I am 18 and I am finishing my school in few days. I am a good builder and a team player.

11. Do you have a Skype or use TeamSpeak? If so what are your account name(s)?

I have both of those and my skype is: latex_op Teamspeak: latex_op

Latex_Op, we have decided that we would like to see some more of your work. One of our team's leaders, Ferox, will contact you over Skype and give you more details. Hang in there!

Hey guys, I'm Dragoncaster, one of the builders on Team Aphelion. This thread is going to be closed as soon as we can
figure out how to do it, so if you wish to reapply please do so on The New Recruitment Page. Thanks!

Also, DiamondSwordSlayers, I can give you a walkthrough of how to upload pictures. You don't need to embed them on your post necessarily, just post a link to the images on the image sharing website you used. I personally prefer Imgur.

A nice, sturdy pair of Faeblades. That, or a spear. Or some curved daggers. Gosh, so many sharp things to choose from!

Probably. I'll go look at it, thanks!

Hey there, I recently found an image from the Attack of The B-Team modpack, and I've been trying to find the mod that adds the clothesline you can see to the right of the house. The only problem is, I can't run the modpack, and search results reveal nothing as to where you can download that particular mod. Can anyone help me by simply telling me the name or providing a link to the download page? Thanks!

1. What are some past experience you had with another team of builders?
None. Until recently, I haven't even considered joining a build team. Not until I started to realize how much I love to build things other than for my own amusement. You have to start somewhere right? This is where I'd like to.

2. What is your main style of building?
My main style is still a work in progress, but it's a kind of medieval that is heavily influenced by fantasy. I don't do well with military buildings or castles as much as small villages and remote farms or something, and I am talented with landscaping as well. My trees need a LOT of work, so I won't be doing those much, but tall grass and flowers and bonemeal make all of my builds look better and give them a light, mystical feeling.

Oh yeah, and one more thing: My builds are almost always small and many in number. Stretch it out too large, and it gets to be a bit sloppy. For me, anyways.

3. How many hours do you spend playing Minecraft a week?
Being home-schooled, I have a lot more time than most people would, but I still want to have a life, lol. I'd say about 3-4 hours on weekends and maybe a little less than on weekdays.

4. What is your time-zone?
PST (Pacific Standard Time).

5. Age:
Thirteen.

6. Would you give up some of your free time to develop/build?
Yes, I normally build for most of my Minecraft time anyways.

7. Why do you want to join Team Fercuz? What is the main reason?
To connect with people that can express themselves openly through what they create, and so I can actually show people what I can do rather than just telling them about it.

8. Tell us something about yourself.
The first time I played Minecraft, it was just a strange game made out of large, coloured cardboard boxes and creepy spiders. A friend told me that monsters avoid light, so when a creeper walked up on me, I placed a torch in front of it and said "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" But then the green thing stepped over it and blew me up. Haha, the first house I built was a wood square with stairs on top of it... but you know what? I took pride in it.

9. Pictures of some of your builds (the more you post, the more we will be able to examine your skills):
I never took any screenshots of anything I built in the past, so I've been preparing builds on a superflat to put here. If you need more than these, let me know and I'll put something together.

11. Do you have a Skype or use TeamSpeak? If so what are your account name(s)?
Sadly no, I don't have either.

Thanks for listening *Reading,* and I hope for a reply soon!

It's too bad this server seemingly shut down. I liked it, and I put a lot of time into my village there. If it comes back online again, please let me know so I can pick up the pieces!

Okay, I'm no expert with modern building, but you might refer to Keralis' Youtube Channel. He does some great let's builds, and you might be able to pick up some ideas from it.

First off, what kind of city? Medieval, fantasy, modern, or futuristic?

(Pictures and info in the spoilers; I like to conserve space.)

So a few weeks ago, I watched one of BdoubleO100's let's plays of the Attack of the B-Team modpack. I noticed that there were what looked like corner slabs or something of the sort at the roots of the trees and on the roofs of his houses, and I like that kind of thing. I went through the list of mods in the modpack, and searched all of them only to find nothing related to what I saw. It's been bothering me forever, so can someone tell me what that particular mod is so I can download it? Something like that would be extremely useful in my future builds. Thanks!

Edit: Found it, and it's not nearly as cool as I thought it was. :/

Edit #2: It's surprising how much longer it takes for someone to even look at a thread when the title mentions "help."
