Building smarter, not just bigger
TipsA little planning goes a long way. Large structures are much easier to control when you lay a solid foundation first. Anything complicated becomes manageable if you build each part separately and combine them. Mixing different colors and materials also makes your finished work look much richer.
- Start large builds from the base up so the whole structure stays balanced.
- Split complicated shapes into smaller sections and combine them once each part is done.
- Mix block colors and materials to add variety and detail to your creation.
The three placement badges
TableThe game awards badges at three milestones based on how many items you have placed in total. The count adds up across everything you build, so there is no trick to it — you just keep building.
| 100 items placed | the first badge. |
| 500 items placed | the second badge. |
| 1000 items placed | the third badge. |
Playing with friends
CheckThe game supports up to eight people in one session. You can invite friends to a private server so only your group has access, or build together in a shared world. Some groups build one giant project together, while others each make their own thing in the same space and then compare results.
- Invite friends to a private server so only your group has access.
- Build one large project together or each build your own thing in the same space and show each other the results.
Auto-save and solo play
SummaryYou do not need to do anything special to save your work. As long as you are building on your land or inside a private server, the game handles saving for you. This makes solo play just as rewarding as group play — you can work on a big project across multiple sessions without losing progress.
- Auto-save coverage your land and private servers both save automatically.
- Solo suitability the game is fully playable alone at your own pace.
- Private server benefit a private server keeps your world to yourself or invited friends only.

Common questions
FAQWill my build disappear when I leave the game?
No — anything you build on your land or inside a private server is saved automatically when you leave. Next time you log in, your creation will be right where you left it.
How many blocks can I choose from?
The game gives you hundreds of unique blocks. You can browse the full list by opening the build tool.
How do I earn the placement badges?
Every item you place counts toward the total. The milestones are 100, 500, and 1000 items placed, and your count carries over between sessions, so just keep building and you will hit them naturally.
Can I play alone, or do I need friends?
You can play solo — building your own voxel world at your own pace is a completely valid way to enjoy the game.
