How to use

1. Choose a point in Minecraft to be used as your starting point. This point will be used to calculate other points.
2. Save the X/Z coordinates of your starting point using the "/point create" command. Be sure to name it something memorable!
   • Ex. /point create Hub 0 0
   • Note: If you plan on outlining at a scale other than 1:1, you must specify it when creating the start point. Ex. /point create Hub 0 0 1.5 -- where 1.5 is the scale
3. Use the /point sety command to set the y value to be used when plotting points.
   • Ex. /point sety 50 - points will be plotted with a y value of 50.
   • Note: This setting is not persistent and will only be used for your current outline session.
4. Use the /point material command to set the material to be used for plotting points.
   • Ex. /point material white_wool - points will be plotted with using the material white_wool.
   • Note: This setting is not persistent and will only be used for your current outline session.
5. Open Google Earth Pro and head over to the location you wish to outline.
6. Click on the ruler tool in the top menu bar.
7. In the dialog box, set the measurement unit to meters.
8. Find the real life location of your starting point, and click to use that as the first point on the ruler.
9. Leaving the first dot, move the mouse to a spot of where you want to get the point of (ex. corner of building) and click.
   • After the second point is set, you can click and drag to change the location of the second point.
   • For better accuracy, try to use the edge of a structure as the point when measuring
10. Look at the measurement box and take down the values of the "Map Length" and "Heading". Copy these values into Minecraft to use with the "point" command.
    • Ex. /point plot Hub 18.25 100.88
11. Run the command. The plugin will then compute the X/Z coordinates of the location in your Minecraft world that correspond to the real life location of your measure point in Google Earth. A block will be placed at the y height & material we specified earlier.
    • Once you have multiple points, you can connect them with WorldEdit's //line tool or the /point connect command.
12. That's it. You've just plotted your first point with PointLocator!
