Earth and every place you have flown to, everything you built, your chests, your rocket and your pack will be replaced by a new world. This cannot be undone.
Play with friends
Open your world
Your own world becomes the shared one. You get a room code to give to friends; they build in your world with packs of their own. It is saved with you, as always, and it closes when you leave.

Guide
You begin in a city on Earth, with a wooden pickaxe and a few blocks. Mine, craft and build, then build a rocket and fly to the Moon, Mars and the rest of the solar system. The game saves by itself.
The city
The landing place is the square in the middle of a city: nine blocks of streets each way, about 200 buildings, with street lamps and people walking the pavements. The people are there to see; they do not trade or talk.
The workshop is one block east of the square: three Furnaces, two Crafting Tables, and chests with stone tools, torches, coal, ingots and building blocks. All of it is yours to use.
The launch site is two blocks east: a pad with a tower, a Crafting Table, a Furnace, and a chest where the city has put by a Fuel Tank and some Rocket Fuel. Build your rocket there.
Round the square: the police station (west), the hospital (north), the town hall (south), the fire station, the school and the market. The power station is to the south-east, and the army base, behind its wall, fills the north-west corner. There are flats, offices, shops, houses and parks on the other blocks.
Press E and look at the Rocket plan at the top of the list: it shows which parts you have and what to get next.
A world begun before the city was built keeps what it had (a small town, or nothing). Start a new world to get the city.

Your first ten minutes
Get wood. Break the trunks of the oak trees for Oak Logs.
Press E. Make Oak Planks, then Sticks. Bright recipes are ready; dim ones show what is missing.
Dig stone. Go down through the grass and dirt with your pickaxe. Stone gives Cobblestone.
Make a Stone Pickaxe (3 Cobblestone, 2 Sticks). It is faster and breaks iron ore.
Make a Furnace (8 Cobblestone), put it down and right click it. Put ore in slot 1 and fuel in slot 2; the ingots come out in slot 3.
Make a Crafting Table (4 Oak Planks) and put it down. Diamond tools and rocket parts are made within 4 blocks of it.
Make a Chest (8 Oak Planks) to store things. Right click it to open it.
Finding ore on Earth
The middle number under the place's name, top left, is your height. The ground is about 22 to 49 high, with snow on the highest peaks. Caves are the easy way down.

Each thing takes 3 seconds. Fuel: one Coal smelts 8 things, a Coal Block 72, a log or a plank 1, and it takes two Sticks for one. A furnace keeps working while you are away, as long as the game is running.
Make
From
Axe, Shovel, Pickaxe
wooden, stone and iron ones need 3, 1 or 3 of the material and 2 Sticks. Diamond ones are made by a Crafting Table
Iron, Copper, Gold or Diamond Block
4 ingots or diamonds. A Coal Block takes 9 Coal
Torch x4
1 Coal, 1 Stick
Lantern x2
1 Coal, 1 Stick, 1 Glass
Crystal Lamp
1 Star Crystal (from the Moon and beyond), 1 Glass, 1 Copper Ingot
The rocket
Part
From, by a Crafting Table
Rocket Engine
2 Iron Blocks, 2 Copper Blocks, 4 Coal
Fuel Tank (you need two)
2 Iron Blocks, 2 Glass
Rocket Capsule
2 Iron Blocks, 4 Glass, 2 Gold Ingots, 1 Diamond
Rocket Fuel x2
2 Coal and 1 Iron Ingot. Away from Earth: 3 Sulfur make 2, and 1 Star Crystal makes 4, with no table needed
Stack the parts one on top of the other: the engine on the ground, the two tanks, then the capsule. Right click the rocket and choose where to fly.
The rocket comes with you and stands by the landing place when you arrive. What you built stays where it is, on every world.
Flying home to Earth never needs fuel, so you cannot be stranded.
While friends are visiting your world the rocket stays on the ground.
The launch counts down from three. The screen for choosing a place tells you what is true of each one: how far it is, how long its day is and how cold or hot.
Air, day and night
Only Earth has air you can breathe. Anywhere else a blue AIR bar shows your suit's air. A full suit lasts 5 minutes.
Air fills again within 4 blocks of your Rocket Capsule or an Oxygen Maker (1 Iron Block, 2 Glass, 2 Copper Ingots, by a Crafting Table). Put Oxygen Makers down as you go further from the rocket.
With no air left you lose health, and at zero you are back at the landing place beside the rocket, with your pack and a full suit.
The sun rises and sets everywhere. On Earth a day lasts 10 minutes, with a red sky at dusk, stars at night and the moon up when the sun is down. On the Moon and the other airless places the sky is black even at noon.

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are made of gas, with no ground to stand on, so the rocket lands on one of their moons.
Good to know
Each tool has its blocks: pickaxe for stone, ore and ice, axe for wood and planks, shovel for dirt, sand, dust and snow.
Torches, Lanterns and Crystal Lamps light what is round them, so put them down for the night and in caves. A Lantern under a ceiling hangs from it. You can walk past both.
The pale cube shows where your block will go.
In the pack, click a slot and then another to move a stack.
A chest with things in it cannot be broken, so nothing in it is lost. Empty it to move it.
A long fall costs health. At zero you are back at the landing place with your whole pack.
Every place is round: keep walking one way and you come home. The landing place is at 8, 8.

Playing with friends
On youness.my, choose Play with friends. Open your world and give friends the room code, or type a friend's code to visit theirs. Up to 6 can build in one world.
Friends arrive on whichever place the owner is on. Only the owner can fly the rocket, and only when alone.
The world belongs to whoever opened it: it is saved with them, and it closes when they leave.
Everyone has their own pack. A visitor's pack is kept with that world, so it is there when they come back.
Chests are shared: anyone can put things in and take things out.
Going to a friend: press Esc. The menu has a "Go to" button for each player in the world; it puts you beside them at once.
You never need friends, or to be online, to play your own world.
Settings
Low draws at a lower sharpness with fewer clouds and particles, for older computers. High adds shadows. Ultra draws at the sharpest and with the finest, softest shadows, for a strong computer. A shorter view distance keeps fewer chunks of the world loaded.
