At this point, you might wanna start building your own world. To do that, go to the hub and select the CreatecCreate World Button. Fun fact, since 2018, Blockate’s first worlds had a Sphere, but now it doesn't have a sphere. Remember, only the first world is free; subsequent worlds cost 500 bluxBlux to create!

The arrows beside each label can be used to cycle between the variations possible. This may require experimenting to become familiar with.
 
=== Learning to Delete ===
If you're in Build mode, press LeftQ Ctrlor B again to enter delete. Deleting is relatively simple compared to building; Point at a block and click it. Boom! The block is gone. If you want to enter build mode again, press LeftQ Ctrlor B twice: once to cycle to Spectator mode, once more to cycle to Build Mode. By default, this is the order that gets cycled:
 
Spectate → Build → Delete → Spectate → Build → Delete → Spectator...Spectate…
