Create your account and keep it safe
If you've just downloaded and launched the game, it is time to create your own account. You can either use the randomly generated name that was inserted for you, or delete it and pick your own. As you're confident with your brand new identity, click play!
But hold on, it didn't ask you to create a password... you need to do that right away! Here's how:
- Ignore the game for now, go into the game menu, and click exit. This will bring you back to the main screen.
- From there, click the "?" sign on the right of your name, and choose "I want to create a password, change my password, or modify my account." button.
- You'll see a "Manage Account" page. Here, insert your desired password and make sure it's strong by adding numbers. Just remember that Cubic Castle passwords are not case-sensitive and any upper cased characters will be treated as lower.(Eg. "PaSS" will be just "pass")
- Enter your email address. If you lose or forget your password, this is how you'll be able to recover it.
- Select any additonal settings you desire and click save.
- Now you're all set and your account is safe! Login with your account and enjoy the game.
Enable parental controls (Optional)
If you're a parent or a guardian, you might want to restrict or/and monitor your child's activity in the game. This can be easily done by doing the following:
- On the main page, click the little gear button "⚙" on the bottom left side of the screen to get into settings.
- In settings, select "Parental Controls" and you'll be prompted onto the desired page.
- Enable the controls by using the top "ON/OFF" slider and set a password. Doing so, the page will only be accessible with the use of this password. It will disallow your child from seeing and changing the controls.
- Set the settings you desire and save the page. All done!
Note - To see the chat logs on a PC version, open the Windows search bar, type in %appdata%, hit enter, open the "Cubic" folder, and navigate to another folder named "LOGS".
Complete the Adventure
The adventure is an advanced tutorial for both new and old players. It is the first thing new players see and play right away. Completing it might not give you any items or EXP, however it will teach you the basics of the game.
If you'd like to enjoy the core game right away, the adventure can be left by using the "Leave Realm" button in the game's menu. But do not worry, you can always come back to where you left off. Just enter the double-crossed sword door whenever you're ready to continue, or want to replay it once again:
Explore your Starter Realm
The starter realm is your own world. It might be small, but it belongs to you!
Have a look around, read the signs, open your starter gift, find useful items, collect some ingredients, and just get around it. It has a lot of useful stuff that will come in handy, and some tips that will get you started.
To access the starter realm, you'd firstly need to either leave or complete the Adventure. This will put you into a New Player Lobby from which you can enter the door with a heart "♥" on it, which is your realm:
Craft new items
Why not create some new items, get to that Anvil and start putting in Ingredients or/and Blocks to see what you can make!
The more ingredients you gather, and the more variety they have, the more cool stuff you'll be able to make.
Here's a sample recipe:

1 Water | 1 Dirt | 1 Mud |

Level up
Time to make your Qbee stronger and expand his abilities!
To level up, you firstly need to gain enough EXP. This can be done by mining, building, completing Quests, and even Crafting.
If you manage to level up, you will be able to choose a brand new Perk... and if you do it again, you'll be able to choose another one, and another one...
However, be sure to choose the perks you need. Not all of them will always be available to choose from, only 3 at a time.
Your progress can be easily tracked on either the top left corner of the screen, or by going into the "Profile" page in your game menu.
Explore the Overworlds
Have a look around the world of Cubic Castles.
You can visit the Official Realms, checks out some Mines, and even explore player Realms to see what they've built.
Overworlds can be accessed through the big door in the middle of all Lobbies:

Complete Quests
Dress up in Clothes
Chat and Trade with other players
