Line 1:
Viking Modular is a building system devised by [[Tweetabix]]. It is designed for CivRealms but with modifications could work on any Minecraft world.
This page is a Wiki version of the building code document which is also available in two in-game books and a PDF.

=== Terminology ===
==== Block ====
[image] The standard Minecraft Block
==== Unit ====
[image] The central Module, such as a wooden box, bordered by the Grid. A set amount of Minecraft Blocks makes one Unit, and a set amount of Units makes one Bloc. (See Versions for dimensions of the Unit)
==== Grid ====
The Units are arranged on a Grid which can in theory be stretched out infinitely. The grid nests all Units and each Bloc of units is nestled by Roads.
==== Roads ====
As wide and tall as a unit- although if there is sufficient space in adjacent blocs they may be widened.
The road must remain clear at ground level.
If a lot of units/bridges/toppers cross over a road between blocs, they may appear more like corridors, but they are still roads.
Corners of roads are also lighting opportunities.
Roads may also incorporate rails.
Stairs for rises are incorporated into Roads.
==== Bloc ====
A set of Units restricted by Roads. Currently set at 3x3 units for both unit sizes.
Blocs may be a maximum of 9 units high depending on their neighbours.
==== Super Bloc ====
Where a square of 9 blocs are all on the same elevation they may form a super bloc wherein every bloc can reach maximum height, and a central bloc may be treated as a special case.
Central Blocs may contain parks, pools, transport hubs and other exciting features.
==== Rise ====
When building in a natural terrain you will of course experience changes in elevation.
In this first release of VM, you must change elevation only by one unit- not more or less. This means the floor of the new level is equal to the ceiling of the adjacent lower level. The new level should be bordered by a Road with a retaining wall using similar material.
You can then take the length of the road and bloc to ramp up to the second road on the elevated level.
==== Style ====
The Minecraft Blocks used to make up the Units in a bloc.
The basic style is wood- with logs as a grid and wood as fill.
This could be varied, such as with sandstone fill and netherbrick grid.
The basic floor style is stone- with stone slabs as grid and stone as fill.
=== Versions ===
There are currently two versions of the Viking Modular System
'''“3x3”''' and '''“5x5”'''
These numbers refer to the number of blocks visible on one plane of a unit, not including the grid the units are nestled within. So for example, including the Grid, a unit is actually 7x7- but each of these grid blocks is shared by its neighbouring Unit.
Both of these operate currently on 3x3 Blocs, extending to 9 Units high, within 3x3 Super Blocs. This may change with the addition of more versions. The system itself is modular.
