Welcome to the Mineways group. Mineways is a program that lets you export models from your Minecraft world. You can then make a 3D print or rendering of these models. Mineways can also be used for mapping, allowing you to change colors or remove various blocks from view to reveal others. The code is free and open source. If you have questions, bug reports, or feature requests, email me or post to this forum thread. Have fun, and post your results to the Flickr pool!
