Project mention: How do you guys enjoy playing solo? | /r/Minecraft | 2023-12-09

Sometimes when I don't have the building spark I'll just tour travel around the world and tour my different bases and builds to admire them, or doing things like rendering the world to admire things from afar. My two favourites are Overviewer for a zoomable/movable view of my entire world and Chunky for making scenic renders.
