A field guide to a world that remembers.

Register or sign in to keep your character and account records. Guests can try the expedition immediately. Choose your body once (it is used in every world and mode, and Change body on the world list picks another), then choose the same world as your friends and enter.

Give the next journey a purpose: prepare camp, grow supplies, inscribe useful gear, then explore. A surface garden supplies meals; cave-grown Moonroot binds lasting inscriptions for your tools, weapons and armour. Return to replant and repair before the next trip.

If the world list cannot refresh, the last available worlds stay visible. Choose Refresh to retry. A temporary sign-in failure keeps your saved session; Continue where you left off retries it. Keyboard users can change sign-in tabs with the arrow keys, Home and End.

The beginner's guide can be skipped or restarted under Escape > Beginner's guide. It remembers this browser's progress. Opening a menu stops your controls; the shared world continues moving.

Phone and tablet

Dismiss Tap to play, then drag the left stick to move. Its outer ring sprints. Tap or hold the world to aim and act, or hold Act in your last movement direction. Use places blocks, opens storage or uses a held item. The labelled View, Jump, Roll, Pack, Craft, Paths, Chat and Menu buttons replace keys. Up/Down climbs or swims. Portrait and landscape both work.

Escape also holds sound, volume, screen shake, camera heading, fullscreen and graphics settings. Ultra graphics is optional and falls back to standard rendering when unavailable.

Terrain edits, creatures, loot, weather and time are shared within a world. Meadows, groves and steppe offer trees and early supplies; fen, beach, autumn woods and snow change the landscape. Caves and deeper rock bring other ores and threats. Dig beneath the surface and inspect exposed faces rather than expecting every block to contain ore.

Slabs and stairs

Slabs have six orientations: lower, upper and four wall halves. Stairs have twelve: four rising, four inverted and four vertical wall orientations. Their open halves remain usable space for movement, flight and targeting.

Craft 2 Basalt Blocks into 4 Stone Slabs, or 4 Basalt Blocks + 1 Stick into 4 Stone Stairs. Craft one slab or stair by itself to turn it to the next orientation, one for one. Repeat until its label and placement preview match your plan. The creative catalog lists every orientation; the field kit also rotates shapes when rotating a blueprint.

Give bridges, walls and gardens a clear material: Oak Planks, Timber Frame, Stone Brick, Mossy Brick, Polished Basalt, Sandstone Brick, Iron-bound Stone and Rune-carved Stone are eight craftable full blocks. All are solid; carved runes remain unlit. Find their recipes below or use the Creative catalog.

Digging natural grass can also yield Cabbage Seeds or Wheat Seeds. Mining natural stone at level -8 or below can yield Moonroot Seeds. Bring them home to an Adventure garden; a seed is not guaranteed from every block.

Wildlife and flying birds

Animals wander and react to nearby players. Right click nearby wildlife to pet it for a temporary following response. Most can be hunted for shared food drops; frogs remain ambient. Swifts fly over open country, so a bird visible overhead may be above your reach. A friend in side view can read its height.

Registered players can befriend one horse or goose per expedition world using B > Friends and three cabbages. Name it, call it to follow or send it home. A horse can be ridden outdoors with enough headroom. Solid obstacles still matter; companions do not carry items, and breeding is not included.

On phone or desktop, open B > Camp > Recipes for Expedition food, Garden supplies and Construction. Choose a recipe to see its batch yield, purpose and held or missing ingredients. Craft makes one batch from your pack when the ingredients and space are ready. C remains the full crafting catalog and grid.

Press C for the pack, 3 by 3 crafting grid and recipe book. The book shows required and held materials. Make crafts one batch from your pack; Make all crafts as many as materials and space allow.

The grid is shapeless. Ingredient positions do not matter, but the required types and proportions must match. Extra types block the result. A whole stack can remain in the grid while each click makes one batch. Right click splits a stack or places one item. Shift-click quick-moves a stack between hotbar and pack, or between an open chest and your pack.

Tools and weapons

Camp construction

On phone or desktop, open B > Camp > Recipes and choose a recipe under Construction, or use C and the full recipe book, for these full building blocks. Their appearance helps distinguish floors, garden walls and route details; iron straps and runes do not grant extra protection or light.

Garden supplies and expedition food

Choose a recipe under Expedition food or Garden supplies in B > Camp > Recipes. Keep a seed for replanting and some Moonroot for gear inscriptions. Trail Bread uses surface wheat, Root Stew adds cave-grown Moonroot, and Field Rations make honeycomb useful before a long journey.

The kit tabs are Explore, Camp, Map, Build, Friends, Journal and Story. Camp has Garden, Recipes and Gear sections. Owners also have World. T or touch Interact uses nearby field equipment; Explore lets you choose when several pieces are close. Let a view turn settle, aim at a supported empty spot, then open Build. If placement is unavailable, close the kit and aim again.

Prepare, grow, inscribe, explore

1. Prepare camp. Set a bedroll and repair bench. Build a return route with blocks, lights, ladders and ropes. Keep food on the hotbar and room in the pack.
2. Grow supplies. Plant surface cabbage and wheat for meals. Mine for Moonroot Seeds, then bring soil into a cave garden. Save Moonroot for useful gear.
3. Inscribe a purpose. Choose one lasting inscription on a tool, weapon or armour piece beside a repair bench. Repair wear separately.
4. Take the next route. Follow your current objective, choose an optional shared expedition or prepare for a guardian. Return to restock, replant and improve the camp.

Explore suggests a next preparation step and shows your current objective. See the expedition path expands the other suggestions. Food and gear readiness reflect what you carry now; harvests and guardian victories belong to this shared world. These are suggestions, not another quest or reward track. The food suggestion opens Camp > Recipes, starting with Trail Bread; a gear suggestion opens Camp > Gear.

These systems support your choices without replacing personal objectives or requiring a purchase. Adventure gardens have no crop shop or Island Marks. Islands farming remains a separate mode with its own crops and trading.

Adventure gardens

Adventure gardens are shared, and guests can tend them too. Find Cabbage Seeds and Wheat Seeds while digging natural grass, or Moonroot Seeds while mining natural stone at level -8 or below. One matching produce also crafts into two seeds.

Aim at clear space above grass, soil or a Meadow Block, let the view settle, then open B > Camp > Garden and choose Prepare aimed soil. Choose a crop and plant one seed in the prepared plot. If the target is unavailable, close the kit and aim again. Meadow Blocks let you bring soil into a cave.

Crops grow while the world is awake, not while everyone is away. Keep their soil and space above clear; an obstruction pauses growth and keeps the crop. Stand beside a plot to tend it. Water needs an open, unobstructed water source within three blocks and gives 1.5 times growth for 90 active seconds. Water again when needed.

Add one Garden Compost before maturity for one extra produce, with no extra seed. Any adventurer can tend or harvest a shared plot; visitors cannot farm. Leave pack room for both produce and the returned seed, harvest, then replant. Only the gardener or a world builder can clear an empty plot.

If an older saved plot has lost its soil or become blocked, its gardener or a world builder can choose Clear blocked plot from beside an exposed face. A planted plot asks for confirmation; clearing discards its crop without produce or a seed. Healthy crops must be harvested first.

Inscribe your gear

Stand beside a repair bench, outside an encounter, and open B > Camp > Gear. Choose an unbroken, durable item from your hotbar, unlocked pack or worn armour. The inscription controls show the effect, current durability and required materials before you spend them.

Rank I costs 2 Moonroot + 2 Iron Ingots + 1 matching gem. Improving that same inscription to rank II costs 5 × Moonroot + 2 × Azurite Ingot + 1 × Diamond. Rank II replaces rank I's effect rather than adding both effects together.

Each piece keeps its first inscription kind permanently. Start at rank I, then improve that kind to rank II; choose another piece for a different kind. An inscription stays with its item through storage, trading, drops and repairs. Inscribing does not restore durability, so repair valuable gear before it breaks. These item effects are separate from skill-path purchases.

Routes and equipment

Build shows what each fixture costs, what you hold and which ingredients are missing. Active Creative building uses no materials. Only ropes and lifts need a length setting. Equipment needs support and clear space. Remove it before mining its foundation. Removal does not refund its ingredients. A repair bench spends one Iron Ingot to restore part of the held tool, weapon or shield. Two Gold Ingots reset purchased skill choices and return their points.

Doors, plates and timed buttons

Open B > Build > Connect equipment. Choose a Switch and Destination, then Connect. The action changes to Disconnect once linked. Names, levels, distances and live states identify each piece. You can manage your own equipment, or any equipment as world owner. Stand near the switch and keep both pieces nearby and in sight.

Levers, plates and timed buttons can control doors, hooded lamps and winch lifts. The destination's Activation rule defaults to All switches must be on; choose Any switch can turn it on for an alternative entrance. Stand beside the destination to change its rule. Linked equipment follows its inputs instead of direct toggles. Explore and the connection readout show the current states.

The field kit's Story tab opens the Book of Two Depths, a shared chapter separate from the personal objective chain. Its full solution is under story spoilers.

Select a weapon and aim a left-click swipe through the region in front of you. Reach, facing, height and your current side-view row matter. Dodge with R for a brief safe window; sprinting and rolling spend stamina. A winded player must recover before sprinting or rolling again.

Wear all four armour pieces. Select a Trail Shield and hold Z or touch Guard toward an attacker to reduce frontal hits. Guarding spends stamina and shield durability; it does not protect your back or prevent falls. Check equipment condition and keep food ready. Trail Bread restores 6 health, Root Stew 8 and a Field Ration 10. Inscriptions can improve damage, mining, protection or durability before the next journey.

A friend in the other view

One friend can track a flying guardian's height from side view while another scouts overhead. Strike the same guardian close together from opposite views to light both marks over its health bar. RIFT EXPOSED means your cooperation increases damage. Stay nearby and keep attacking in those views to maintain it. Both active partners receive guardian credit, with one shared loot drop. Solo fights still work.

When someone falls

With a living friend nearby, you have a short rescue window. They can open B > Friends and hold Revive beside you for three seconds. Moving away, releasing or taking damage interrupts it. A rescue keeps your pack. Explore lets you give up; solo play uses normal death and respawn.

After death, R respawns you at an active, clear bedroll or a safe fallback. Under normal Survival rules, carried and worn gear drops at the death site for a limited time. Objective progress remains. Dropped loot is shared, so return quickly or ask a friend to collect it. Second Life or a world's keep-pack rule can preserve your belongings. Expedition worlds do not have player damage; The Arena is for duels.

Press H in an expedition world to call a heist alone or with friends. The first run establishes that world's camp where you stand. Follow the rune marker, step onto the rune to start its storm, and carry it back inside camp before the clock ends.

Camp and successful-run count persist. A failed heist adds no separate inventory penalty, but ordinary combat, death and terrain changes still apply. The four dedicated game modes have their own rules instead of heists.

A registered account keeps its character on the server where it was created. Inventory, position, equipment, skills and personal objectives are separate in each world. Level, Crowns, Starshards and mode records belong to the account across that server's Depths worlds. Independently hosted servers have separate accounts.

Where player worlds are enabled, a registered player can name one hosted world and share its invite link. Wonderune+ raises the allowance to five and adds the Wayfinder and Emberbound bodies. Its optional pass does not change combat, drops or progression. See the Wonderune+ shop. Extra worlds are retained if a pass ends.

Owner tools and creative building

The registered owner of a player-created Depths world has Menu > Owner tools. Creative enables unlimited construction, flight and invincibility, with separate switches. Choose blocks from the searchable catalog, right click to place and hold left click to remove. Support, solid obstacles and occupied space still matter.

In flight, Space rises and X descends; side-view W/S or touch Up/Down also controls height. Release to hover. Land safely before returning to Survival. Owners can set time, restore health and teleport. Use /help in chat for available commands.

In B > World, owners can grant Creative builder or Visitor roles. Builders can construct and fly; owner-only world controls stay with the owner. Visitors can explore without changing the world. Main worlds and dedicated modes have no owner tools.

Rules, recovery points and test copies

World offers Survival, Relaxed and Creative. Relaxed preserves packs and disables hostile encounters. Individual rules control pack loss, enemies, time and weather. Creative use remains recorded after switching back.

Owners can keep three named recovery points. Restoring one rewinds terrain, storage and known characters together, including offline friends. Read the confirmation carefully. A separate creative test copy can be made from a named point in the world browser. Its characters and changes cannot transfer back. Creative worlds and test copies do not earn Survival account rewards.

Choose Minigames in the world list for four dedicated modes, each with its own walkable lobby, hosts and marked paths. Walk beside a host and click them, press T or tap Interact to open their choices. B or the on-screen mode-menu button opens the same controls. Sign in to keep public records and own an island. Your expedition pack stays in its own world.

Phone controls match the mode. Islands keeps Pack, Craft, Use and the hotbar. Arena shows Attack and marks its fixed view as Locked. Parkour and Plummet keep movement, Jump, View, Roll, Interact, Chat and Menu.

Explore broad practice stairs in Parkour, raised quays in Islands, the Arena court and spectator steps, and four practice landings in Plummet. Brief labels and sounds mark countdowns, starts, course progress and floor changes. Sound follows your settings; labels remain visible when muted. Hold Tab for the full player list.

Five guides stand in the plaza, each offering three courses. Choose a difficulty and a course in the menu. Meet this guide takes you to the right guide, then Start course begins your selected route. Click a nearby guide, press T or tap Interact to open their choices as well. You can start at any difficulty. All five choices stay visible on phones.

Jump with Space, or W in side view. Land on every numbered marker in its requested view. Side routes follow a row; overhead routes cross between rows. V changes your view. If the next marker will not advance, check both your height and its view label.

The starting platform is your first checkpoint; every third numbered marker saves another. A fall returns you to that checkpoint while the timer keeps running. Brief reconnects preserve an unfinished run. Finish to record your best time; every one of the fifteen courses has its own public-profile entry. To leave a run, hop across to the Exit to plaza pad just west of the starting platform or just east of the final one, or choose Return to lobby in the course menu (B). Results offer Run again or Return to lobby; return to choose another course.

Guests can explore the harbor and visit online island owners. Choose Sign in for an island in the journal to make or sign into an account, then return directly to Islands. Building, farming and trading belong to island owners.

Your first visit begins at the harbor. Choose Go to my island to reach your own island: a meadow with saplings and flowers, a sandy shore and clear shallows in open sea. Every island has its own coastline. Your camp is in the middle, with a tilled farm plot beside it and a sandy path to the beach. A signed-in account receives 40 Island Marks. The new-island grant adds 32 Meadow Blocks, 12 Oak Logs, 4 Cabbages and 2 Maple Saplings to your starter kit. The gold dashed line marks where you may build: the island and its shallows.

Islands crops and shop trading are separate from Adventure gardens and Moonroot inscriptions. Aim at clear air above grass or soil on the island itself, then open B > Farm and choose a crop. Timber uses Maple Sapling; its button is labelled Plant timber. The menu shows seed counts, growth bars and plot directions from camp. Ready crops have Harvest buttons. Stay beside a plot and leave pack room. If no plot is selected, close the menu, let the view settle and aim again. Crops grow while the Islands world is awake.

Shop and expansion

Open Shop to trade and Island to expand or visit. Buy, sell or expand at the harbor or near your camp. Set Quantity before trading; listed prices change with it. These prices are for one item. Island Marks are separate from account Crowns.

There is room for 32 growing plots. Each expansion grows the same island outward with new meadow, beach and shallows; what you built and planted stays put. Widths are approximate because every coastline is different. Older islands keep their previously purchased building area, including corner platforms and farms. The gold boundary includes that space; later expansions grow the new coastline.

The harbor and every island sit in open sea: if you wander into the water, swim back to shore or use the journal to travel. Only the owner can edit an island, open its chests or collect its dropped supplies. To visit, enter the name of an online owner in the menu. Go to my island takes you home. Once there, Back to island closes the journal without moving you; Return to the harbor returns to the shared lobby. The Islands leaderboard ranks current Island Mark balances, so spending can change your place. It is not a lifetime-sales ranking.

The lobby keeps you out of combat until you choose Find a match. Available players match first; computer opponents fill spare places after a short wait. Training duel starts practice when there is room. A visible countdown prepares both fighters before movement and combat begin.

Both fighters start with the same gear and fresh health on an enclosed sand fighting floor. Stone retaining walls, stepped spectator galleries, entrance banners and braziers surround the ring. The walls keep combat on level ground. Knock out your opponent to win. After two minutes without a winner, the duel draws. Practice timing, aim, stamina and dodges; training fighters react faster as your record improves.

Training fighters keep weapon range, reposition between attacks and avoid unsafe edges. Stronger opponents circle in overhead view and use defensive rolls. Their rolls spend stamina, so look for an opening as they recover.

Arenas use overhead and side views as you progress. Both players use the selected view for the entire duel; view switching and camera rotation are locked during the fight. Side-view movement follows the arena's row.

Registered players can earn records against players or training bots. Public fighter tiers are Unranked, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Champion. Wins and losses affect the tier. Choose Cancel queue while waiting. The match menu can concede an active duel; a genuine contested concession can record a loss. Results offer Play again or Return to lobby.

Choose Join round from the lobby menu. A normal round has eight contestants. Available players join first; computer opponents fill spare places after a short wait when there is room. A visible countdown starts once the round is assembled. Choose Cancel queue to leave before play.

Keep moving across four fragile, round floors stacked one above the other. Every tile cracks the moment anyone steps on it and drops away a moment later. A fall through a hole lands you on the wider floor below. Lower decks use different materials and show as darker, labelled rings from overhead, helping you recognize each floor and recover after a fall. Drop to a lower floor and keep going. In longer rounds, the outer rim cracks too, drawing the remaining contestants inward. Falling through the last floor eliminates you. The last explorer standing wins.

Press V to inspect the deck side faces, then use overhead view to plan your route across a floor. The floor indicator tracks your descent and how many floors remain below you. After elimination, results offer Play again or Return to lobby. A new queue waits for an active round to finish. Your public profile records Plummet wins.

A routine server refresh cancels unfinished Arena and Plummet matches without a win or loss. Reopen the mode menu after reconnecting and queue again. A crowded room can start a smaller round; at least two contestants are needed.

Crowns and Starshards are recorded rewards. Purchasing or spending them is not currently available. They are separate from the optional Wonderune+ pass and do not replace skill points.

Your world list links to your public profile. Profiles show level, XP, currencies, guardian and chapter counts, Arena tier and wins, Plummet wins, Islands balance and rank, and completed Parkour best times. Unfinished courses are listed under Courses to try. You can also open a player from the Islands leaderboard.

Public records update after the world saves, so a recent result may take a little time to appear. Creative-used worlds and creative test copies do not earn Survival rewards. Restoring a recovery point does not earn the same milestone again.

Your personal objective chain, skill paths, optional field-kit expeditions and shared Story chapter are different kinds of progress. Account XP records their eligible achievements; it does not skip your current objective.

The camp route supports those goals: build a return path, grow food and Moonroot, inscribe and repair gear, then take the next expedition or guardian journey. It uses gathered and grown materials rather than account currencies.
