Thanks for submitting a tip for review!

In creative mode you can fly, so falling into the Void isn't really much of a problem...
Be careful! You can delete bedrock, and you could end up in the Void!
If you're playing on a server, beware of griefers! If you give them permissions, they can do whatever they want to your plot, and some servers only give you one plot! So be careful :)
