Getting started in your build area
Step
When you join, you get your own build area ready to go. Before you start on anything big, take a moment to look around and test the basic controls.
- Look around walk around your area to get a feel for how much space you have to work with.
- Try placing a block place one block somewhere, then remove it, so you know both controls before you need them.
- Change the color pick a color for a block to see how the color picker works.

Building with blocks
Tips
Blocks come in a range of colors and can be placed, moved, or deleted at any time, so there is no penalty for experimenting.
- Color changes the look of a build dramatically even when the shape stays exactly the same.
- Add lighting to your build to make it look more three-dimensional.
- Because you can delete and replace blocks freely, treat early attempts as drafts rather than mistakes.
Vehicles — hoverboard, car, and rocket
Summary
Three vehicles are available: hoverboard, car, and rocket. They bring your builds to life.
- Hoverboard suited to smooth gliding courses with a floating feel.
- Car the natural fit for race tracks and roads.
- Rocket adds vertical action when your build goes upward.
Doors and realistic entrances
Check
Doors were added to the game so that houses, shops, halls, and any other enclosed building can have a real entrance. They can be customized in color and size.
- Use a door wherever a build needs a way in and out.
- In multiplayer, doors work well as dividers between areas that different players are responsible for.
Saving and returning to your build

Everything you place is stored on a private server tied to your game. Logging out does not erase your progress.
