1. Aesthetic Mastery
Top builders in Bloxd.io prioritize depth and texture over flat surfaces.
- Layering: Never build a flat wall. Use pillars (Logs/Concrete) one block out from the wall to create depth. Recess your windows and doors.
- Texturing: Mix blocks with similar colors but different textures. For a stone wall, randomly mix Cobblestone, Andesite, and Stone Bricks to make it look weathered.
- Gradient Building: For large walls, transition from darker blocks at the bottom (Deepslate/Blackstone) to lighter blocks at the top (Stone/Light Gray Concrete).
2. Glitch Building (Advanced)
Warning: Some glitches may be patched or considered exploits depending on the server rules.
- Half Bed Sleeping: A glitch allowing players to sleep while standing, enabling unique hitbox interactions and placements.
- TP-Xray: By setting a home and teleporting into specific block setups, players can briefly see through the world to locate hidden bases or caves.
3. Base Defense Layouts
In Factions or Survival, geometry is your best defense.
- Funnels: Design hallways that force enemies into a single-file line. This neutralizes their numbers advantage and makes them vulnerable to splash potions.
- Anti-Clip Layers: Build walls at least 2 layers thick with different materials (e.g., Obsidian core, Wood outer). This prevents players from glitching through walls using lag or moonstone pearls (if available).
- Resource Denial: If you are raided, have a mechanism (like lava or a void drop) to dump your valuable ores so the enemy gets nothing.
