Sandbox guide

In Adventure, explore, dig, build and survive as long as you like; in Classic there is no goal beyond experimenting with elements.

STEP BY STEP

  1. Choose ADVENTURE in the main menu.
  2. Dig with the left mouse button and place the selected material with the right.
  3. Pick materials with 1–9 or open all items with E.
  4. Build shelter and place torches before night falls.
  5. Go deeper for metal and gold, but watch out for lava and slimes.
  6. Choose CLASSIC to paint elements on a single screen, load scenes and save your creation.

CONTROLS

  • Adventure: A/D or arrows to move, W or Space to jump and swim, left mouse to dig and fight, right mouse to place or use.
  • 1–9 to pick a vial, E for all items, T to teleport, M to mute, Esc for the menu.
  • Classic: click and drag to paint, right-click to erase, Space to pause, C to clear, R to reset.
  • Touch: ◀ ▶ to move, ▲ to jump, tap the world to dig, the round button switches to building.

DIFFICULTY

Adventure gets harder the deeper you go and at night; long falls, lava, acid and fire hurt. Classic and Creative have no danger.

STRATEGY

  • Light caves with torches before you dig further.
  • Dig stairs instead of dropping straight down — falls over 16 blocks hurt.
  • Stay under a roof during storms; lightning strikes the surface.

AVOID THESE MISTAKES

  • Digging into a lava pocket without an escape route.
  • Staying outdoors when night comes without shelter.
  • Forgetting that water and sand keep flowing after you place them.

DEVICES

Desktop, laptop, tablet and phone in a modern browser, with keyboard and mouse or touch.
