Your first four steps in the game
Step
The core loop is simple: pick a block, place it, repeat. If you ever get lost, the in-game How to Build section walks you through everything.
- Open your inventory this screen shows every block available to you.
- Select a block choose whichever type or color you want to place next.
- Click or tap to place the block appears exactly where you aimed.
- Use the pickaxe to mine tap any placed block to remove it and try again.
Three habits worth building early
Check
Because the game gives you total freedom, it is easy to lose progress or get stuck in one style without realizing it.
- Use the Personal Worlds feature to save your creations so they are not lost between sessions.
- Try as many different block types and colors as you can find the combinations change how a finished build looks more than anything else.
- Invite a friend to your world and build together.
- Check back weekly, because new blocks are added on a regular schedule.
Building better — practical tips
Tips
These are the habits that separate a decent build from a great one.
- Start with something small, like a single room or a simple pillar, so you finish it quickly and feel the progress.
- Mix blocks of different colors and textures rather than using only one type — variety removes the flat, uniform look.
- Vary the height of your structures; adding taller sections gives a build a sense of depth and scale.
- Step back and look at the whole thing from a distance when you think you are done — balance problems are much easier to spot from far away.

Common questions
FAQHow do I get comfortable with the controls?
Focus on just two actions at first: placing a block and removing one with the pickaxe. The in-game How to Build section is also there whenever you need a reminder.
My build disappeared — can I get it back?
If you saved your world using the Personal Worlds feature before leaving, your build will still be there when you return. If you did not save it, the build is gone, so make a habit of saving regularly whenever you create something you want to keep.
I'm running low on blocks — what should I do?
Use the pickaxe to break down blocks you no longer need in your current build and free them up for something else.
How do I play with friends?
Invite a friend to your world from inside the game, and once they join you can build in the same space at the same time. If you run into trouble with the invite process, the in-game guide has the specifics.
