Guide:Building

Basics of Building
Gather materials by breaking blocks and adding them to your inventory.

You can then equip these blocks to place them wherever you wish.

Beacons claim Plots that prevent other players from placing or destroying blocks on your creations.

Your creations will use the following items.

Sloped blocks
In Boundless, players have the ability to turn blocks, such as soil, rock, wood and many others into sloped variations.

To chisel blocks into slopes, you need to craft a Chisel and then you can hit the corners of the blocks to chisel them.

Walls, Slabs, & Stairs
In addition to sloped blocks, many blocks (rock, compact resources, etc.) can be crafted into several types of half-blocks slabs (half height), walls (half width), and stairs.

Doors & Hatches
Using timber, you can also make doors (opens horizontally) and hatches (opens vertically). Doors/hatches can be up to 8 blocks tall/long, and will automatically open together if placed in a double-door arrangement.
