Voxel Destruction Physics Guide: Getting started with destruction
About
OverviewVoxel Destruction Physics (VDP) is a sandbox game where nearly everything — buildings, walls, and even the ground — can be smashed apart, with every broken piece falling under gravity. This guide covers how to get started, how to push your voxel count up, how to earn badges, and how to keep the game running smoothly.

Getting started with destruction
Step
When you join a server you are shown a weapon selection screen before you do anything else.
- Pick a weapon choose something large from the selection screen so the destruction is immediately visible.
- Watch the physics notice how broken pieces tumble, roll, and slide.
- Swap weapons try a smaller weapon on the same spot to see how differently it removes material and at what pace.

How voxel count and badges work
Table
Every voxel you destroy is counted toward these thresholds.
| Voxels to break | Badge name |
|---|---|
| 10,000 | Bread cat |
| 25,000 | Domestic Dog |
| 50,000 | Grumpy Cat |
| 100,000 | Chi wa wa |
| 150,000 | Super Cat |
| 250,000 | Borzoi |
| 500,000 | Wenamechainasama |
| 1,000,000 | Flop |
| 2,000,000 | Gold Dog |
| 5,000,000 | Bro |
| 10,000,000 | Chad |
Badges that need a specific action
CheckThese are not earned by grinding voxel counts — each one has its own condition.
- Dig all the way down to bedrock to earn the Undertale badge.
- Avoid breaking anything for a full 30 minutes in one session to earn Pacifist.
- Set off a chain reaction using explosive barrels to earn NOW THATS ALOT OF DAMAGE.
- Get hit by a lightning strike to earn Zues!
- Destroy the spawn area completely to earn SpawnKiller.
- Earn the Freedom badge by escaping Mexico and the Escaped badge by escaping the Backrooms these are distinct locations with separate badges.
- Make Maxwell angry to earn Angry Maxwell.
Keeping the game smooth
Tips
A few habits help you stay comfortable for longer sessions.
- Open the in-game settings menu and find the graphic preset option.
- VR players can use the same graphic preset setting to reduce lag in headset mode.
Playing with friends
Summary
Private servers cost nothing to create.
- Cost private servers are completely free to create.
- Admin rights every player who joins your private server receives temporary admin access.
Weapons: large versus small
TableThe game has tons of weapons to choose from. Carrying both and switching between them on the same map is a practical approach.
| Large weapons | clear a wide area, good for collapsing whole buildings. |
| Small weapons | remove material precisely, better when you want to watch individual pieces fall. |
| Explosive barrels | triggering a chain reaction counts toward the NOW THATS ALOT OF DAMAGE badge. |
Glossary
Glossary- Voxel
- A single cube-shaped block that makes up the game's environment; destroying one increments your voxel count.
- Physics simulation
- The system that makes broken pieces fall, roll, and slide under gravity after you destroy them.
- Private server
- A separate server instance only your invited friends can join, free to create in VDP.
- Admin (temporary)
- Elevated in-game permissions granted automatically to everyone who joins a private server.
- Graphic preset
- A built-in setting that adjusts visual quality in steps; lowering it reduces lag.
- Bedrock
- The lowest layer of the destructible ground; reaching it unlocks the Undertale badge.
