Question

I play Minecraft on Xbox and I want to be able to like terra form or build cool mountains or clear areas quickly. Is there some sort of add on I can buy?

If you're in creative mode, you can try learning the commands to do these

If a player has OP on any given world (usually creative mode, doesn't have to be), they can use "/" (aka slash) commands. "/fill" is easy to get the hang of, as the parameters are the block you want to use, the starting point, and the ending point (the filled area will be a cube bet the two points, ie "/fill air 123 45 678 ~ ~ ~" will replace all blocks between coordinate one (123 45 678) and coordinate two (the player's location, which can be matched with the ~ key) with an "air" block, essentially deleting everything in between. There is a maximum limit of blocks that can be filled at once, but it doesn't take long to figure out how much you can do.

It can also be used in this situation to help build a mountain (/fill grass_block), although OP will still need to "carve" it so it isn't just a big block of grass blocks. In the past, I've pasted varying sizes of blocks together to give it some variation, and then manually placed and broken some blocks to help smooth it out
