That was pretty fun actually. Very thoughtful snapping to the nearest possible building to ensure you never end up falling into the nether.

really helped to add the signifier of which building would be snapped. glad you enjoyed it!

Very cool, great job! Would love to know the stack and how the building data was processed to create these models.
