Your first build

In a few steps

1. Type /holobuild, or use the Holo Wand in the air. The menu opens.
2. Choose Blueprints, then a starter: the Oak Starter House is a good first one.
3. Choose Build a copy. The house appears in front of you as ghost blocks, with buttons next to it.
4. Punch the arrow buttons to move it where you want it. Punch the green tick to start building. On a phone, see On a phone.
5. Place a block in the ghost with the yellow outline: it's the next one. Look at any ghost, and the bar at the bottom of your screen says what goes there and which way it faces.
6. When the bottom layer's done, it flashes green and the next layer appears. Keep going to the top.

The starter blueprints

Every world has five, to try Holobuild straight away: a Market Stall, a Food Shop, a Sugarcane Farm, an Oak Starter House and a Starter's Refuge, smallest first.

What next

• Save one of your own builds as a blueprint.
• Build faster with Easy Place or the Printer.
• Ask a friend to carry on the build with you.
