Player Settings

The player settings panel has some of the most helpful settings.

Use Freeze Students (1) to get the classes attention, or prevent students from moving and building.

Uncheck Students Can Build (2) if you'd like students to move but not build.


Stations

Stations are handy for moving around the world easily. When stations have been placed in the world, any teacher can teleport to the station immediately through this menu.

In this example, we'll teleport to the "Boy's Group" station.


The new location loads...


And we arrive at the boy's station.


Equipping blocks

To build, you must equip blocks. To do so, open the Equip menu by pressing the E key on the keyboard.


Searching for blocks

Often it is easiest to search for the block by name. Click the search tab, then type the name of the block.


Drag and drop the block to your inventory.
