Cubic Meadow

Survival sandbox · for Roblox Studio

Break and place chunky blocks across a hilly 64x64 world of grass, stone and trees, with a 5-slot hotbar and a calm day/night cycle.

Free to use, change, publish and sell. No royalties.

What's in the game

  • ·Terrain built from noise with a fixed seed: 64x64 columns, 32 blocks tall, a grass surface at heights 6-16, 3 layers of dirt, stone below and a bedrock layer that can't be broken
  • ·About 10 trees with wood trunks 4-5 blocks tall and leaf blobs
  • ·Light on performance: only blocks touching air get a Part (under 15,000 at start), and hidden blocks appear when a neighbour is broken
  • ·Break and place go through the server, which checks reach (6 blocks), world bounds, overlap with characters and a 0.12 s cooldown
  • ·Hotbar with 5 slots (Grass, Dirt, Stone, Wood, Leaves), picked with keys 1-5, the mouse wheel, a tap or the gamepad bumpers
  • ·Controls for desktop (left click/right click), touch (tap plus a Break/Place toggle) and gamepad (R2/L2 with a crosshair at screen centre)
  • ·SelectionBox outline on the block you are aiming at, and a dust puff in the block's colour when it breaks
  • ·10-minute day/night cycle (about 7 minutes of day) with dark blue nights where the ground stays readable
  • ·8 sounds: a break sound for each block type, a place sound, and day and night ambience loops played at the block's position or switched by time of day
  • ·Invisible walls and Atmosphere haze hide the world's edge
