Building tips
Tips
There are no wrong ways to build here.
- Build from the ground up — starting at the base and working upward keeps tall structures balanced.
- Use the same block type in large runs to fill big flat areas quickly.
- Break complicated shapes into simpler pieces and combine them rather than trying to do everything at once.
- Delete and redo freely — nothing is permanent, so trial and error is always an option.
- Your build saves as you go, so short sessions add up — you do not need to finish in one sitting.
Using TNT
Warn
TNT is bought with in-game currency and sets off a large explosion when triggered. Because destroyed sections cannot be restored, it is worth moving anything you want to keep out of the blast area first. Craters and wreckage can become features in your next build.
Building with friends
Check
Friends can join the same server and build together on shared projects.
- Agree on who builds in which area before anyone places a single block.
- Ask before deleting anything someone else built.

Common questions
FAQWill my build disappear when I leave the game?
No. Everything saves automatically to your private server. When you rejoin, your build is exactly as you left it.
What happens to a collaborative build when a friend leaves?
The build stays on the server you are hosting. Your friend's additions remain even after they disconnect.
Can I fix a section I blew up with TNT?
No — explosions cannot be reversed. You can build something new in or around the blast area rather than trying to restore the original.
Do I need to pay real money to enjoy everything?
Building, block access, and multiplayer are all free. TNT requires in-game currency, so real-money spending is never required.
