Howdy there!
New to Blockate? Overwhelmed by the things you can do? Worry no more! In 15 minutes, you'll save 15% or more have all you need to go from to building slacker to master. All for $9.99.
Here is the menu that appears upon entering the game. This menu can be broken into six parts.
Label | Name | Function |
---|---|---|
A | Blux Count | Indicates your current Blux (B$), the currency of Blockate. |
B | World Tabs + Search Bar | Shows featured, active, and your own worlds. Or search for specific worlds. |
C | World List | Shows the worlds present, scroll further down the list with the bottom scroller. |
D | Menu Tabs | Switch between other aspects of the menu. |
E | Tutorial | Teaches you about Blockate… But if you're here, it probably failed you. |
F | Create World Button | Creates your new world; the first is free, subsequent worlds cost 500 Blux. |
Visiting Others' Worlds
Once you familiarize yourself with the hub menu, you might wanna see what's possible on Blockate!
Go to the Featured tab by clicking the rectangle around "Featured Worlds." Here you will see some of the best worlds in Blockate. Here are some recommendations:
- Super Roblox 64 Remake by HypnoticRobot364
- BlockEgg Hunt by CallMeMatt
- Cube Climbers by ryanmatela
- Temple of the Golden Crown by XxSWxX
Creating Your First World
At this point, you might wanna start building your own world. To do that, go to the hub and select the Createc World Button. Remember, only the first world is free; subsequent worlds cost 500 blux to create! Once you do, you'll enter and see this:
Learning to Build
That island is small, very small... too small to build anything grand or amazing. Luckily it can be expanded! Press Left Ctrl to switch from Spectator mode (Default) to Build mode. You'll know you're in build mode when you these GUIs appear:
Label | Name | Function |
---|---|---|
A | Block Shape Menu | Determines the color, material, shape, and size of the next block placed. |
B | Block Color Menu | Visual aid to determine the color of next block, also shows RGB values of each color. |
C | Block Ghost | Shows where a block will be placed... Point and click to place a block. Simple enough? |
D | Block Configure Menu | Determines the next block's physical and visual properties (Transparency, Reflectance, CanCollide, LHereight Color, Light Intensity). |
The arrows beside each label can be used to cycle between the variations possible. This may require experimenting to become familiar with. If you feel (somewhat) confortable, try building this house:
