How long have you played MunchyMC?: I have been playing, off and on, for about a year and a half (I first joined the server about two years ago, but wasn’t very active.) I am quite active on Woolwars, and am occasionally on KitPVP.
How active can you be per week?: I can invest a lot of time into this server. Besides a couple of real life commitments, I really do not have a lot going on right now. In terms of actual building time, you can expect 10-15 hours a week from me.
Do you have any punishments on our Network? If so, what for?: N/A

This build was one of my more recent projects, and I think it really does show. This build, at over 160 blocks tall, is easily my largest and most impressive creation to date, and I’m honestly extremely proud of it. Although I’m not sure what precisely it is -be that a treehouse, a fantasy-inspired tower, or really anything else- I think that this build gives off a really unique feeling. Additionally, it marked my ‘return’ of sorts to minecraft in general, and proved to be a big turning point for me motivation wise.
How experienced are you with World Edit, Voxel and other building plugins?: I am quite experienced with World Edit. Although I have used Voxelsniper many times in the past, I would not consider myself to be very ‘experienced’ with it.
Describe your build specialty and weaknesses (detailing, terraforming, structures, etc.):
- I would say that my biggest strength is general structural work. While I’m still definitely working on the detailing side, I think that my structures tend to turn out quite well.
- My biggest and most blatant weakness is terrain. Although I’ve used tools like Voxelsniper for well over a year, I haven’t been able to really figure them out, much less use them effectively.Terrain is definitely something I want to get better at, but I haven’t yet invested the time required to finally do so.
What is your history of building? If applicable, which build teams and/or servers have you worked for in the past? I was a part of the ‘EventMC’ build team for almost the entirety of its existence, however haven’t been involved in any teams since then.
On a scale of 1-10, how well do you work with others? Please expand upon in your answer:
8. I tend to be quite an easy person to work with, and don’t have much of an issue with listening to others thoughts and opinions in order to have a better overall result. Additionally, I’m also very open to compromise. However, I haven’t worked with many build teams in the past, but I do believe that my real-world teamwork skills are applicable to Minecraft.
Have you applied for Builder before? If so, what was your reason for denial? How have you looked at improving since?
I have applied for builder once in the past; about a year ago. Although I was initially accepted for a trial, I was eventually deemed unfit for the position due to a lack of inspiration present in the builds I created. Although this denial did hurt quite bad for a long while, I can, looking back on it, definitely see Mikael’s point of view here. The two builds I made for my trial were, by any standard, awful. I have since taken some time to get a better understanding of what these maps should look and feel like, and now feel more confident than ever to give it another try.
