It's quite simple.

1. You need to install Stylus or Stylish.   Personally, Stylus is the best as it was the original design with a few improvements when Jason the founder of Userstyles developed it. Besides, my video is used in the extension stores 🙂 Video
   Download Stylus: Google Chrome / FireFox / Opera
   Download Stylish: Google Chrome / FireFox
2. Find the styles you want on userstyles.org  (You can check me out here https://userstyles.org/users/197510)
   Quick Note: After Jason has left, the site had some poor improvements and now the site is extremely slow.  It gets my official slow script addon.  You can install it here: userstyles "Officially Slow Branding" https://userstyles.org/styles/187446/userstyles-officially-slow-branding
3. Once you find the script you want, could be a theme, just press install.
   Some themes like mine here: Youtube Dark Black Transparent has an extra option by the "Install or Update Button" named "Customize Settings" depending on the options created my CSS designers, you can change the font, images and so on from the settings before you press "Install or Update Button".

If you have ever seen these screens before the site, this is explained under the screenshots.

The Reason

If you have run into either of these screens, you know how frustrating it can be.   I have a good reason why they exist.
The internet is full of all kinds of things like videos, files, information, photos and so on.   However, it's also filled with all the nasties like bad bots.   There are just some of the bad bot intentions.

• Scraping
  Scraping can cause a lot of problems with SEO Rankings.   These types of bots will hijack content, tags, images and so on.  They use this information on making clone sites, fake sites for malicious purposes and so on.  This can cause your Rankings in Google to fall.  This means you won't be found on the first page of that topic that was searched for.   Google wants original content.  Not duplicates.
• SQL Inject
  These bots are designed with a harmful purpose.  They are programmed to find Vulnerabilities in websites.  Some are designed to find existing ones, some find new ones.   When they find them, they can inject their code or call home to the creator that will then hop onto your site and do the work for themselves. Once they get in, their intentions could be anything from Defacing the site, Injecting Malware, Adding a Backdoor, Doing what they want with your database, trying to access your file structure, redirecting your site to malware downloads, using your server to host there bots and so on.  Some do it for the lulz and some do it to make money.

Are there good bots?

Yes, Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and other main search engines have good bots.  These bots you want to crawl your site 'To some intent' they can get quite nosy as they try to find everything they can.   If they don't, your site and its pages will most likely never be found on a search engine because it never crawled your site and indexed the pages.

So why I'm I seeing these screens?

The problem is, these bots use Cloud Servers, VPN Servers, Amazon, Google, Microsoft Azure,  Other Hosts, Other Infected Sites and even Broadband ISPs (Your Internet Service Providers)
With that amount of servers, it makes no sense in blocking IPs as just say one Cloud Server could have thousands of IPs.  Blocking 1 might block that attack, but for how long?  They can just use another IP and another and so on from that server. Blocking ASN (Autonomous System Numbers) blocks the whole list of IPs so that the Cloud Server and all of its IPs are now firewalled from the site.

There is a problem blocking ASN though.  Say you block Amazon CloudFront ASN.  All sites from that server cannot fetch anything from your site.  So things like website speed testers on those servers would be completely useless scanning your site unless you whitelist the IPs to that scanner.    This is a problem as well with people who use VPN services.   I have blocked a lot and continue to do so because of these bots.   If you use them, you will most likely see these pages before the site.

Sadly, I'm seeing an increase in Broadband now.  I'm not sure if it's from infected PCs, Home Servers, infect the ISP but I hate to add a Captcha to them because you and others view the site using their service.  Truly, there is no good way of going around this problem.

So what does this have to do with you?

Fortunately nothing.  This is just one of the firewalls on this site that filters out a lot of these bad bots before they get to the site.  Adding this to the site reduces the risk of being attacked by Bad Bots.
As I said, there is no good way of going around this.  Everyone's site is bombarded with these problems every day.  Sadly, lots of sites get infected because of it.  I try to take steps against these acts.

If you are a returning customer, I can whitelist your IP.  You will no longer see these screens so long as your IP doesn't change.
Either way, you should be glad to know, I care about security.  A lot of people don't unfortunately.

At this point in time, the shop is for Minecraft Maps/Schematics Only.   When you want to get a Minecraft to build, there are two options.

Paid Builds

These builds will be marked with a "green price tag" that cannot be changed.   This is a paywall that must be to the amount it asks for before you get what you paid for.
You can also see these "green price tags" on the shop screen when scrolling through builds.  The button will also say "ADD TO CART" on the shop page.

Open Pricing Builds

These builds are not marked when scrolling through the shop.  You will also see the button will say "READ MORE"  On the build page you will see a price in black.  Most are set to $5.   This price can be changed.  Hint's "Open Priced"  You can donate at a higher or lower amount than the default set price.  You can also change it to $0 to not donate.

This makes it flexible for your needs.   Most just donate at the price that it's set at. Some change it to free and some have donated at higher than the set price.

Since this site runs as an eCommerce system, you still will need to make an account as it's a checkout system.  Nothing changes there.

I Cannot log in

There are a few reasons why you might not be able to log in.   One of the main reasons is over time I delete inactive accounts.  I do this for security and to lower the database size.

If you cannot log in with the account already existing I can generate a new temporary password for you to log in with and you can change it after.  I'll just need any of the following proof and also helps to find the profile.

• Name
• Email
• What you purchased
• and any other details.

I want to redownload my file

If you have purchased something and want to re-download the file, you can contact me.  Make sure to have the PayPal Transaction ID ready as proof you have purchased that file.   Then you can create a new account and I'll give you access to that file again.

All accounts get deleted within 6 months' time.

There are a few reasons I do this.  If your account has signed in before the 6 months time, it will be fine.

Reasons

• Some never come back to the site.
  There can be inactive accounts that only ever get something and never return.   This means having a pile of inactive accounts wastes database size and makes no sense to keep.
• Some may not like their data to stay on a site they may never return to.
• Security
  Some accounts could use poorly made passwords on accounts.  This is usually unlikely because I force random passwords to be made.  But still, you never know.

When do I delete Accounts?

I delete accounts every 6 months. Say if you made an account the day before the next month starts before the 6 months expire, it will also be deleted unless you sign in.  This will trigger an option I see called "Last Login" which shows me the date and time you last logged in.

Two great Editors for importing and exporting

When v1.13 was released (Minecraft Aquatic Update) this caused everything to instantly become incompatible.  Mojang changed so much most tools needed to be rebuilt from the ground up.  One of the best tools to import schematics was MC-Edit 1.0.   Sadly, it is not supported by anything above 1.12.2
The developers of MC-Edit have been doing just that.  They have built an Editor that can import to worlds past v1.12.2 and even on Bedrock Edition as well.   I have made two tutorials on how to do it with both versions. MC-Edit & Amulet Editor.

Warning "World-Edit" Error on import
If you have tried to install one of the schematics on this site using WordEdit and got an error, that's because a lot of the schematics on here were made with MC-Edit and WordEdit has no idea what to do with them.  Use one of the importer tools below.  That will solve your problem.

MC-Edit (World Edit)

This was one of the best world editors for years in Minecraft.  It was the top best in copy and paste, importing and exporting schematics.  Not to mention, deleting large chunks and the extra mod filters just made everything so much better.  It was like a light version of WordEdit mod but standalone with a UI to it.

I’ve gone into detailed information about that here: A full step-by-step tutorial with images for MC-Edit

• View the blog post here: https://destructiveburn.com/how-to-import-schematic-into-minecraft/
• MC-Edit 1.0 Direct Download Location: MCEdit - World Editor for Minecraft

Amulet Editor (World Edit - New MC-Edit)

Amulet Editor is the new MC-Edit.   It's still in beta, so the UI may change over time with lots more features added.  Supports Java Edition Worlds from v1.12.2 and up also Bedrock worlds.
This application can import .schematics / .construction / .mcstructure and also export for sharing.

I’ve gone into detailed information about that here: A full step-by-step tutorial with images for Amulet Editor

• View the blog post here: https://destructiveburn.com/how-to-import-with-amulet-editor/
• Release Downloads: https://github.com/Amulet-Team/Amulet-Map-Editor/releases

All Maps/Schematics are built on Minecraft PC Java Edition Only.   However, there are some older builds that are available for Xbox 360 & PS3

Is DestructiveBurn allowed to Sell?

Yes.  To a point.  If you have not read the Terms Of Use or Privacy Policy I recommend you do!
In short, Mojang does let users Sell "Java Edition" Maps/Schematics.  But there are a few things they require. You can read this on the Privacy Policy page labelled "Mojang Selling Terms"
You can also read Minecraft Commercial Usage Guidelines under "HANDCRAFTED PRODUCTS"

Some of the things they require. (Pretty basic!)

1. Don't sell the same thing more than once.
2. Make sure it's original.  Don't sell other people's work.
3. Do not sell anything that is a part of Minecraft like any software, sound, or audio from Minecraft.
4. Make it clear that all pages that sell Maps/Schematics say "NOT OFFICIAL MINECRAFT PRODUCT. NOT APPROVED BY OR ASSOCIATED WITH MOJANG."
5. Make it clear who to contact.
6. Mojang wants no part in the selling activity.
7. You don’t make and sell more than 20 product items using the same Unique Design.
8. You sell those products only through a website or service that independently records the quantities of the product sold.
   They have never asked this from me and I personally think it infringes on privacy. "and enables us to independently verify that information."
9. You comply with all other laws and requirements.
10. Make no more than $5000 for any calendar year from selling products under these Guidelines

For both, Planet Minecraft & Minecraft Schematics, I recommend reading the privacy Page: https://destructiveburn.com/privacy-policy/

Disclaimer on Checkout you agree too

• All the products are digital downloads. All sales are final. No refunds.
• By using any products on this website, you agree to the Terms of Use.
• Shop item expiry dates are unlimited as long as the account still exists.
• Donation dates never expire.

Refunds are possible with exceptions

• If I cannot help you get the Minecraft map/schematic to work for you.  I do issue refunds.
  I must be in contact with you to try and get the map/schematic to work.
• You just don't get a refund because you say it's not working or you cannot download it.

Refunds are extremely rare.  I make sure to give you as much data as you need to help you out if issues do arise.  I'm here to help through the contact page or the live chat page.

PayPal Resolution Center

I have had some "work the system" in the past and it will not work.

• You agree to "All sales are final. No refunds." on terms and conditions before you place an order at checkout.
• When you make a case, I provide Paypal with proof.   When you check out, an order form gets created.

This is the information in the order forum.

1. First and Last Name
2. Email Address
3. Location
4. Date/Time
5. PayPal Transaction ID to match with the transaction in your Paypal account.
6. The Product Name & ID to the Product.
7. How many times that product has been downloaded.
8. Order Status / IPN Payment status.

If you make a claim this flags my PayPal.  If you need help, please always contact me.  Doing this hurts my good standing with PayPal.  As I said, I will issue a refund if I can't help get the map/schematic to work.

If a claim is made, depending on the message,

• I get back to the claim extremely quickly. (This goes to the live chat and contact page)
• I will post the order forum screenshot.
• I will give you this page and any other detailed information to help you with the issue at hand.
• I'll wait for your response.

I have had people flat-out lie that they never received the map and change their message after I show them a screenshot that they have downloaded the map/schematic.
Some just never respond back. I permanently keep order forums for if and when this happens.

As I said, this is damaging to my account.  At the end of the day, I'm here to help.  I want to make sure you're happy with your purchase.
Again, claims are really rare and 99% of everyone that does have an issue do contact me.  Even that is rare.  I try to be clear with instructions so that a refund is never needed.
