Building and Creating
Building in Voxels gives you the freedom to bring your creative visions to life. To start, you'll need a parcel of land. You can purchase land from the Voxels marketplace or find a free plot if available. Once you have your parcel, you can begin building.
Voxels provides a variety of tools to help you construct your creations. The primary tool is the Builder Interface, which you can access through your account. This interface allows you to place and manipulate blocks, apply textures, and add interactive elements to your builds.
- Placing Blocks: Select the block type from the toolbar and click on your parcel to place it. You can stack, rotate, and resize blocks to fit your design.
- Applying Textures: Choose from a range of textures to give your blocks the desired look. You can also upload your own custom textures.
- Interactive Elements: Add doors, windows, and other interactive items to make your builds more dynamic.
When building in Voxels, keep these best practices in mind:
- Plan Your Build: Sketch out your design before you start building to ensure you have a clear vision.
- Stay Organized: Keep your building area tidy and use labeled storage for your materials.
- Collaborate: Don’t hesitate to work with other creators. Collaboration can lead to amazing results and new ideas.
- Respect the Community: Follow the community guidelines and respect other users' creations and spaces.
