Minecraft plugin black market

Talking of plugins, did you know there is a whole black market for paid Minecraft plugins? I felt the need to mention this somewhere since it exists anyway, but I won’t provide any links – support the creators!!

World Edit: Generate command

Here’s something mad from Puntertje: The Egg, Albany, USA Minecraft Map (planetminecraft.com)

“To make this building I’ve used two mathematical formulas in Worldedit //generate commands:

//g -h -c 35 rotate(x,z,-0.33); rotate(z,y,-0.15); data=(y>0?0:8); (y<0?1.9*x^2+4*y^2+(z>0?1.3*z^2:0.78*z^2):1.75*x^2+9*(y+5)^2+(z>0?1.15*z^2:0.7*z^2)) > 43^2 for the top
//g -h -c 251:8 y=y+61; rotate(x,z,1.25); x=x-3; b=0.2; t=1; (y<60?((1.1*y+1)*(t-b)/2+b)^2-0.5*x^2-z^2:0) >= 2 for the bottom part

You can try to make this shape yourself with these commands by making a selection of about 90x60x90 blocks big and running the commands, have fun!”
