Adventure Mode

Adventure mode puts you in direct control of a single character. You move through the world, mine blocks, place structures, and interact with items in real time.

Move with W W W A A A S S S D D D (North/West/South/East). Hold Shift Shift Shift to sprint.

The world has vertical z-levels. Navigate between them using stairs:

  • Shift + Comma Shift + Comma Shift + Comma — climb stairs up
  • Shift + Period Shift + Period Shift + Period — descend stairs down

Your character stands at z=N on top of a solid block at z=N-1. The block at your feet (z=N) is usually AIR.

When moving between tiles at different elevations:

TransitionCondition
WalkSame z-level
Step UpTarget is 1 block higher
Step DownTarget is 1 block lower
FallTarget is >1 block lower (damage planned)
BlockedTarget has blocks_movement at feet level

A tile is walkable if it does not have blocks_movement at feet level and has supports_standing below.

  • Left click — mine the block at your cursor
  • Right click — place the selected hotbar item as a block

By default, clicks target the wall level (z, same as your character). Use modifiers to target other levels:

ModifierLevelCursor Color
NoneWall (z)White
Control Control Control Floor (z-1)Blue
Alt Alt Alt Ceiling (z+1)Orange

Additional cursor colors: red = block can be mined, green = block can be placed.

Your character carries items in an inventory with a visible hotbar of 10 slots.

  • 1 1 1 through 0 0 0 — select hotbar slots
  • Scroll wheel — cycle through hotbar
  • Tab Tab Tab — open/close full inventory
  • Q Q Q — drop 1 item, Shift + Q Shift + Q Shift + Q — drop stack, Control + Q Control + Q Control + Q — drop half

Items can be block types (Stone Wall, Wood Wall, Glass Wall, etc.) which can be placed with right click, or resources (Wood, Apple) for future crafting.
