    In my cuboid I have min and max variables for the Math.min and Math.max of my XYZ cords

    I only want to change blocks on the MIN Y and create a outline of the X and Z for the Min Y, basically a platform with an outline of my cube...

    I can’t seem to fix this any tips?

    @TerroDoor Do you want to show the edges or the walls?

    No, the rest of the cube I’m trying to keep as air

    It was a multiple choice question.
    Can you make a drawing?

    Okay so here’s the best way I can explain

    If we were looking at this cube from Birdseye view, keeping in mind that I have two locations, loc1 and loc2.

    loc1 has a Y of 0 and
    loc2 has a Y of 20

    Here’s how I want it to look for the Y of 0:

    XXXXX
    XOOOX
    XOOOX
    XOOOX
    XXXXX

    so for this 3D cube, the X marks the border of GLASS and the O marks the platform(glow stone)

    I only want the platform one block high, so basically a platform on Y 0

    @TerroDoor Start by making a loop that fills the entire platform and post that code.

    Here’s what I got

    Code:
    For x = minx; x <= max; x++){
       For y = miny <= maxy; y++){
           For z = minz; z <= maxi; z++){
    
    So now I got all the cords inside this cube and I create a new loc with my new variables

    Loc loc = new loc(w x y z)

    Now to check the y

    If (y == miny) {

    Loc.getblock.settype(glowstone)

    Which works, but I can’t seem to create the outline of glass

    @TerroDoor Why the y loop at all? For a floor you don't need it.
    What are the conditions for the outline?

    And please post actual code that you can test. Makes it a lot easier.

    Well if I don’t loop the Y the players cuboid won’t be between 0 and 20, I need to have the player in the cuboid so they can’t tale damage, sorry I’m not with my laptop but this problem has been bugging me all night

    @TerroDoor So you want the glass around the entire thing? On all 12 edges?

    Only on Y 0,

    would I get the
    miny,
    min and max X and
    min, max Z?
    Correct me if I’m wrong

    @TerroDoor That is correct.
    That is the only information that you need for the platform.

    But the way I’ve been constructing it has it making walls around the edge, I only want it on Y 0

    How can I properly construct this

    Following my above code I’m using this if statement

    If (y == miny && x == minx || x == max && z == minz || z == maxi) {

    Loc.getBlock().setType(Material.GLASS):

    }

    @TerroDoor Add brackets around the x checks and the z checks

    Thanks Tim I will get back to you shortly, I appreciate your time!

    @timtower I switched the && and the || and have gotten it to work, although it’s filling the entire minY, how would I hollow the inside blocks?

    @TerroDoor Code? And you didn't have to switch them. I said brackets.

    Sorry I mis worded my sentence, I switched the && and || and added brackets.

    Here’s the code

    Code:
    If (y == miny && (x == minx || x == maxx) && (z == minz || z == maxx)) { 
    
    Loc.setblock glass
    }
    
    I fiddled with it again before posting so let me explain what’s happening above.

    It’s placing a glass block only on each corner, not the entire perimeter?

    Copied from my phone off laptop(I’m poor af so I have a fossil as a computer). It’s correct format on my laptop however.

    @timtower

    Solved, Thankyou pal!!

    Here’s what I did

    Code:
    
    If (y == miny) {
    //now we know for sure it’s y0
    
    If (x == minx || x == maxx || z == minz || z == maxz){
    
    Loc.set glass
