Select the "SINGLE PLAYER" button on this screen, and then tap "CREATE WORLD...". If you'd like to customize the name your world, tap the "WORLD NAME" field, replace or change the default name as desired. If you'd like to customize the world size, tap your choice of buttons for "1/16", "1/4", "1x", or "4x" (fractions result in smaller worlds, "1x" is normal sized). | ||
The next thing you'll need to do is bring | Tap the "CREATE WORLD" button to be given the option of enabling [[Custom World]] rules. If a world is created with (or later modified for) custom rules, it cannot be returned to normal. | ||
Now tapping the "CREATE WORLD" button will randomly generate the world as set and show the initial portal. | |||
The next thing you'll need to do is bring a blockhead into the world (a process called "warping in"). As new worlds typically begin just after dawn, doing so promptly will give your blockhead the most daylight before nightfall. After a few seconds, a message will pop up welcoming you to The Blockheads. This is the in-game [[tutorial]]. | |||

To create them, it will need a [[workbench]], which can be obtained from the [[portal]] if it carries a [[block]] of [[dirt]] in its [[inventory]]. This is easy to obtain, either by having the blockhead beat on the ground until it gets one or by using the [[spade]] it should be carrying to do the same thing faster. Other [[item]]s can be [[Harvesting|gathered]] in a similar fashion as needed. Now just tap the portal and "warp in" a workbench. | ||

Although the game world is mostly safe for your blockhead, it's still possible for it to be attacked by falling [[dropbear]]s, vicious [[scorpion]]s, or ocean-dwelling [[shark]]s, or get hurt from starvation or excessive heat or cold. Fortunately, [[door]]s, [[trapdoor]]s, and even two-block high vertical cliffs are enough to block wandering [[:Category:Creature|animals]] and are easy to incorporate into a shelter. These attacks will lower the [[Health Bar|health bar]], which can be restored by eating [[ | Although the game world is mostly safe for your blockhead, it's still possible for it to be attacked by falling [[dropbear]]s, vicious [[scorpion]]s, or ocean-dwelling [[shark]]s, or get hurt from starvation or excessive heat or cold.

These attacks will lower the [[Health Bar|health bar]], which can be restored by eating [[food]]. If the health bar is depleted completely, the [[Death Bar|death bar]] will appear, and a blockhead will [[Death|die]] if the death bar fully empties. Fortunately, after about ten minutes, the blockhead will respawn at the spawn [[portal]]. | ||

Your options for adding to your food supply depend on the available [[:Category:Creature|creatures]], [[:Category:Plant|plants]], [[season]], and chosen [[Veganism|dietary limitations]] of your blockhead. Your blockhead can kill creatures and or collect the [[fruit]]s of [[tree]]s and [[:Category:Plant|plant]]s when they are in season. Fruits and vegetables can be planted by tapping a block of [[dirt]] or [[compost]] with an [[air]] block above it. | ||
