User:Psl85/How to build an airport tutorial

This tutorial shows how to build an  in Minecraft.

Overview
Airports in Minecraft is a useful thing to do if you are either building a city (small or big), or to just build an airport. The recommended gamemode to build an airport on is Creative, because on Creative are there infinite amount of building blocks to choose, and you also have many blocks to choose from in the creative inventory. But, if you choose to build an airport in Survival mode, it might be some trickier: you have a finite amount of building blocks, and you also need to craft them before the blocks can be used (rather than being found in the Creative inventory), and you have to mine the blocks to get them.

Dos and Don'ts
What you should do and do not.

Dos

 * Use a superflat world - airports is much better to build in a flat world than a regular. Flat areas is slightly hard to find and build an airport on regular worlds. However, you can build a small airport i a regular world, but make so there is a flat area and remove any mountains or hills.
 * Think of the size and area before you build - is the airport a simple airstrip with a runway made of sand, gravel, grass, or dirt, is it a military airport with military planes, a cargo airport, or is it a commercial airport?

Don'ts

 * Clear out land. This is a wate of time, and is not very pretty to use.
 * Plan before you build to make it easier to build the basics and for example: the bagage claim area, security control, passport control and customs at the exit.

Structure
The structure of the airport may vary, from a single terminal to airports with multiple terminals or concourses. There is recommended that you make one arrival and one departure hall per terminal, and if you build a two-floor airport terminal, the arrival hall can be on the bottom and departures at the top. You can then build a connection between the airport and the city using either a subway, train, or a shuttle bus.

Runways
At least one runway should be build on the airport, from a simple runway made out of cheap materials like grass, gravel, sand, or clay, to larger and longer runways made of concrete. The length on the runway should be from 300-900 blocks so there can depart and arrive small and large planes on the runway.

On the runway, you can place runway lights at the left and right side of the runway for easier approach in night. The light can be made by either a simple torch or another light under colored glass.
