💡 Tips & Tricks
Use buckets to collect and place water. Water blocks are removed when collected. Jump near shorelines to exit water easily.
Chopping a tree breaks all logs above it and decays leaves, dropping fruits. Distinguishes between natural trees and placed logs.
Grass spreads to adjacent dirt blocks if there's nothing above them. Creates natural-looking grass areas over time.
Press F3 to see the block you're looking at, your coordinates, FPS, world type, and other technical details useful for building and debugging.
Each area has a unique zone name based on its region type (Plains, Hills, Mountains, etc.). Names are persistent and shared between players.
When you chop down a tree, a sapling is automatically planted in its place. Saplings will grow into new trees over time.
Fruit trees show or hide fruits depending on the season. Breaking fruiting leaves always drops fruit, regardless of season.
Temperature decreases as you climb higher. Snow only generates at 190+ blocks altitude when temperatures are cold enough.
Select from 6 different world types in the launcher: Balanced, Sea World, Hilly World, Flat World, Mountain World, or Archipelago.
