Getting started from a blank plot
Step
When you load in, you start with an empty space and a menu of blocks on the left or bottom of the screen. Select any block and place it wherever you want. If you change your mind, the delete tool removes it. Starting with a small, simple structure is the easiest way to finish something.
- Open the block menu browse the available types to see what materials are there.
- Place a block where you want it.
- Remove mistakes switch to the delete tool to clear anything you placed by accident.
- Start small aim to finish one small build before scaling up to bigger projects.
Tips for stronger builds
Tips
Building symmetrically gives your structure a balanced feel. Mixing colors adds visual complexity, and varying the height stops your builds from looking flat and repetitive. Laying down large blocks as a frame first, then filling in the details, means fewer changes late in the build.
- Mirror one side of your build to the other for a balanced look.
- Combine different colors to make your creation feel more detailed.
- Change the height across your structure so nothing looks too flat.
- Build the big frame with large blocks before adding smaller details.

Common questions
FAQWill my build disappear when I leave the game?
No — everything saves to your free private server automatically. When you come back, your build is exactly where you left it.
Do I need to spend Robux to build freely?
You can build freely without spending anything. Spending does not affect the range of building available to you.
Can my friends and I work on separate parts of the same world?
Yes. When friends join your session, everyone is in the same shared space, so you can each take a different area of the plot and build simultaneously.
