Just died of snakebite in Boston like an idiot. Luckily I managed to travel back immediately and grab some of my stuff from the rabble who were diving on it. If I had been thinking straight I would have just gone home and died there....
Ahh well.
Anyway, i'm a Haven vet, (pretty dumb there too *chuckles*) and I'm loving this game. Too many Haven vets dis this game, and it took me til now to have a go, and, well, three solid days later...
My ONLY complaint is like how the fudge do you level the ground? It looks worse than when I started! Any tips would be appreciated.
Anyway, just thought I'd share my Doh moment...

Welcome

If you're using Ender's Client, clicking Ctrl+L will let you use the leveling tool. It'll let you eyeball ground height to make sure it's even. Coupling this with Ctrl+Left clicking to dig squares evenly will get you the result you're looking for.

Thanks Tyler, been using Ender... (the man is a God) but all it does is show me how f@#$ked up it looks lol, I guess its a gender thing, all the guys with their spacial awareness are great at it I suppose.
Ahh well, back to walking up hill and down dale on my plot

By holding the control key while you dig, it'll ensure that you're digging levelly. Try that.
