Hello, I’m Rui

I drew floor plans for thirty years, and when I retired I did not know what to do with the evenings. My daughter showed me the block game one rainy night. I built a bad house, lost it to the dark and wanted to try again. I have been trying again ever since.

I play on video from my study, in long worlds with one life. I show the good days and the foolish ones. When I build, I draw the plan on grid paper first, a layer at a time, and many of you asked for the drawings. So I started to sell them. My daughter sometimes builds with me, and you may see her hands or the back of her head, never more.

I sell blueprints for a cottage, a base, a farm and a castle gate, a texture pack, a map to print and two video courses. I do not run a server or a club, and I do not tell you how you should play. I show you how I do it, and I hope it helps you make your own.
