We have a Build The Earth Network (buildtheearth.net) that is a hub to connect to many build servers. However, not all build regions are connected to this hub, so for some regions you also have to connect to a separate IP.
The BTE servers are split up by country or region. To find the ip of the correct server, go to https://buildtheearth.net/join/visit#more. There will also be a link to their Discord Server there. The way to start building is different for every region, so it is better to ask in their Discord.
There is no single large master world with all progress made by the BuildTeams of BuildTheEarth. You can download small maps with finished areas from different regions on the BTE Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/BuildTheEarth) or the local Patreon pages.
If you want an empty world without any buildings, you can look into TerraPlusMinus, which is the plugin used to generate real live terrain.
No. We do not support any form of illegal copies of the game. You need to have a premium Minecraft account to participate in BuildTheEarth.
The use of /tpll is essential to have every structure in the right place. As we use a custom projection to get the globe into Minecraft, there are certain regions of the earth where distortions can happen. /tpll accounts for those.
Do not trust the generated (brick) outlines!
In general Minecraft Bedrock Edition is not supported. Some individual BuildTeams might support it. For up-to-date information please check =bedrock on our Discord Server.
This differs per build region. Some build regions allow you to build everywhere, while others have a system where you are allowed to build more complicated buildings the more you build.
Not at all! You will learn to better overtime. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, because we all do. You can always ask for feedback in #building-help and in your local build regions Discord Server.
The project will probably never be finished, as the world is way too big for that. We try to complete as much of the world as possible, but at the end of the day we just build for fun.
You can view a estimate of all finished areas on https://buildtheearth.net/our-progress.
