About Vectaria.io

Vectaria.io brings the mine-craft-build loop to a browser tab. You choose a server, pick up a pickaxe and start turning a voxel world into tools, shelters and, when other players get close, a battlefield.

It offers several online modes, so you can spend a calm evening building or jump straight into faster competitive rounds.

Vectaria.io is aimed at players who love block-building games but do not want to install anything, as well as players who want to try survival or short competitive modes with other people online.

How to play Vectaria.io

Start by gathering wood and stone, then craft better tools to mine faster and reach rarer materials. Build a shelter to keep your items safe and expand it into a real base. In survival-style modes, hunger and enemies push you to keep moving; in creative or mini-game modes, you focus on building or on short competitive challenges. Everything happens with familiar first-person block controls.

Controls

W A S D: move, Space: jump, Shift: sneak
Mouse: look, left click: mine or attack, right click: place
E: inventory, 1 to 9: hotbar
Touch screens: mining and building rely on precise mouse and keyboard input, so a computer is the comfortable way to play

Modes and progression

The servers offer different ways to play. Survival-style worlds follow the classic loop of gathering, crafting better tools and building a safe base while dealing with hunger and hostile creatures. Creative-style servers remove that pressure and let you focus on building. Mini-game servers are shorter and more competitive. In survival, progression is all about materials: wood leads to stone tools, stone tools let you mine faster and reach rarer blocks, and better equipment lets you explore further. Your base grows alongside it, from a simple shelter to a proper home for your items.

Getting started fast

Your first minutes decide how comfortable the rest of the session feels. Collect wood, craft a pickaxe, then go straight for stone tools. Build a small shelter before night or before you start exploring further. Keep your hotbar organised, with tools on the first keys and blocks after them, so you never fumble in a fight.
