Getting started on your plot
Step
When you first load in, claim a personal plot — that is the land where everything you build will live. Once you have it, open your Build Inventory to see every block, piece of furniture, and decoration available to you. From there, you can start placing things straight away.
- Claim a plot find an unclaimed area and take it as your own building space.
- Open Build Inventory this panel is available any time and lists every block, furniture piece, and decoration you can place.
- Let autosave do its job the game saves your progress automatically, so you can quit and come back without losing anything.
Core building tools
CheckThese tools are always available while you are building.
- Snap is turned on so blocks line up edge to edge with no gaps.
- Rotate is used any time a block needs to face a different direction.
- Color is set on each block to match the look you are going for.
- Clone is ready when you need several copies of the same block quickly.
Interactive blocks that bring builds to life
TipsInteractive blocks give your build something to do. You can combine them to create cause-and-effect systems inside your build.
- Switches trigger actions when a player presses them.
- Sensors detect when someone walks nearby and fire off a response automatically.
- Lights let you illuminate rooms, gardens, or whole exteriors.
- Sound blocks play effects or music.
Building with friends
Step
Collaboration in Creative Build is built around a whitelist system. Only players you add can come onto your plot and place or move things.
- Add a friend to your whitelist once they are on the list, they become a collaborator on your land.
- Build at the same time both of you can place, rotate, and color blocks simultaneously on the same plot.
Saving your work and switching servers
SummaryCreative Build handles saving in two layers. Autosave runs while you are playing so nothing is lost if you close the game mid-session. Cross-server saving then makes sure that build is waiting for you identically when you join any server, not just the one you were on before.
- Autosave runs constantly while you build, no manual save needed.
- Cross-server saving your plot and everything on it carries over to every server.
- Long-term storage builds do not disappear over time, so a project you leave for days is still there when you return.
Free servers versus private VIP servers
TableYou can play Creative Build on a public server with other players, or spin up a private server for yourself. Both options are free.
| Public server | shared space with other players, each on their own assigned plot. |
| Private VIP server | free to create, and comes with a larger building area than a public plot. |
